Emotional Attachment

I’ve recently gone through a phase where I did not know how to deal with vices like attachment. Having exhausted my own means to dealing with the situation I turned to Guru Ji for guidance.

The message I received from Guru Ji was like always spot on in regards to my query :-) here’s what Guru Ji had to say,

This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Siree Raag on Pannaa 26
