ang645 Shabad 43 Third Mehl:
Notes: The emphasis on shabad may be on something else. However, it is through the Fear of God that we can restrain our wandering minds that is stated to be like a camel and cannot be subdued due to the tendencies of maya. It is subdued by Guru's Grace when we instill Fear of The Almighty. His simran is the best deed that one is edicted to indulge in on a continued basis. It is through this that one comes over the ego and the duality. Fear of God is thus not an ornamental gift but a precious possession to us.
We cannot, probably, do this unless we are blessed upon.
Great are HIS ways.
The mind of the self-willed manmukh is so very stubborn; it is stuck in the love of duality.
He does not find peace, even in dreams; he passes his life in misery and suffering. The Pandits have grown weary of going door to door, reading and reciting their scriptures; the Siddhas have gone into their trances of Samaadhi. This mind cannot be controlled; they are tired of performing religious rituals. The impersonators have grown weary of wearing false costumes, and bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines. They do not know the state of their own minds; they are deluded by doubt and egotism. By Guru's Grace, the Fear of God is obtained; by great good fortune, the Lord comes to abide in the mind. When the Fear of God comes, the mind is restrained, and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is burnt away. Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate; their light merges in the Light. Meeting the True Guru, one obtains the Name; O Nanak, he is absorbed in peace. ||2|| __________________
