Realigning Your Standards


The world chases after the illusion—fame, lust, validation—thinking it’s an accolade to have a high “body count,” only to find ourselves trapped in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues later in life. Why? Because we’re asking the wrong questions and aligning with the wrong standards. Bhai Amandeep Singh unpacks the deep wisdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji’s salok: “ਮਨ ਮਾਯਾ ਮੈ ਫਧਿ ਰਹਿਓ ॥” — “The mind is entangled in Maya.” Through vivid analogies like the hunters capturing the greedy monkey's, and scenes from The Matrix, this katha confronts the modern mind and its addictions. It calls us to courageously break free from illusion, realign our standards, and recognise the preciousness of every breath. The path to real Anand (bliss) is there—but we must choose to take it. Let this katha be your wake-up call. Realign your life whilst we still breathe. Topics:
