Sat Sri Akal ji,

Can you please explain why in our holy scriptures it gives reference to god as our Husband Lord? Am I misunderstanding something? I look to god as my Master and Father and our Guruji's as my teachers/guides. Can you please expalin this?

Also, I am getting really curious about meditation, but I keep putting it off becuase I don't know how/where to start. I looked through some of the Q&A's and they are helpful, but how do you know when you are truly in a meditative state? I can sit and praise the lord's name numerous times but not feel any different....
Thanks and god bless.

Husband/Lord is just a metaphore to describe the love of a beloved. The Guru is also described as a Father, Mother, Sibling, etc. Including Husband is making the experience complete somehow. It gives it a passion and real heart connection, which might not be as experienced with the other relationships.

As far as meditation, do you live near a 3HO yoga center? Go take a class in meditation. It is very helpful to have a teacher to guide you through the experience. Good Luck. GTKK
