When we offer something to some one and the other person accept it without any reservation and with whole heart, then the word parvaan applies.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Here, I am offering my life’s earnings to ‘The Sat’. If it is parvaan to ‘The Sat’ then only such offering have some meaning, otherwise the life stands wasted. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Animals also live. They live their lives based on what are available to them naturally. These animals also do all we humans do – giving birth, raising the young, and doing what is necessary to get food. True, we humans just do not live only on what is naturally available. We use science and the products of technology, but for that, there is not much difference between the worldly lives of we humans and the other animals, specially, when seen from functional viewpoint. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If worldly life was to be the criteria for acceptance by ‘The Sat’ (Parvaan) then animals, which any way do not commit any sin, should also be eligible from liberation. But it is not so. Guru Sahib has clearly said in Sri Guru Granth Sahib that birth in human form gives the chance to merge with ‘The Sat’. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Guru Sahib in this sentence has clearly said that ‘The Sat’ should be enshrined in my consciousness if my life’s earnings are to have the merit for acceptance by ‘The Sat’.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Why Guru Sahib has said this is also clear from my past learning. Which, I share with you. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">‘The Sat’, the source of life, never deserts the person. ‘The Sat’ is always in the person. To begin with ‘The Sat’ always illuminates the consciousness of the person. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">This consciousness is like a mirror, what it receives it reflect back, the person’s being is nothing but this reflection. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">When a baby is born and before ‘I’ (Ahamkara) within this baby starts taking hold in her or him, the baby remains God like. This is so because the absolutely immaculate consciousness (mirror) was reflecting nothing but ‘The Sat’. There was nothing to compete for reflection from this mirror. We all have heard our elders saying that babies are a ‘Roop’ (form) of God; the truth behind this saying is transparent. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">As the person grows in age, she or he goes no collecting the worldly baggage and ‘I’ the Ahamkara grows in this person. The desires, attachment, vices, and worldly goals now compete for the attention of the conscious – the mirror. The person becomes attached to the fruits of Karmic action in this material world. When worldly entities became the sole occupation for the person, the consciousness too becomes totally engrossed with such entities. The consciousness becomes selective; it creates filters, attenuators and even barriers; all this stops reflecting the illumination coming from ‘The Sat’. The consciousness of the person gets linked to this worldly baggage. The immaculate mirror – the consciousness with which the person was born – now gets coated in a way to reflect these worldly entities and goals, which boost the persons ‘Ahamkara’. In a way, from spiritual viewpoint, the mirror (consciousness) is tarnished. The coating on this mirror can became so thick that it no longer reflects the illumination from ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ is forgotten from the consciousness and worldly entities take its place. The wisdom that comes from the illumination of ‘The Sat’ does not come to such person. The ‘I’ (Ahamkara) replaces ‘The Sat’ in the person.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">The being, which had the potential to become a sage, now drifts towards the life that is functionally animal-like. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Such life is not ‘Parvaan’ to ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ can accept only ‘Sat’ like entities</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">The person’s consciousness should have ‘The Sat’ enshrined in it. The mirror – should reflect the illumination that it receives from ‘The Sat’. This reflection alone should be one’s being. This reflection of ‘The Sat’ should guide the persons Karmas both in material world and in spiritual world. This is the earnings of life that are Parvaan to ‘The Sat’. This is what Guru Sahib tells me in this sentence.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">With this I close my post.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">With love and respect for all.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Amarpal Singh</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

When we offer something to some one and the other person accept it without any reservation and with whole heart, then the word parvaan applies.[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Here, I am offering my life’s earnings to ‘The Sat’. If it is parvaan to ‘The Sat’ then only such offering have some meaning, otherwise the life stands wasted. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Animals also live. They live their lives based on what are available to them naturally. These animals also do all we humans do – giving birth, raising the young, and doing what is necessary to get food. True, we humans just do not live only on what is naturally available. We use science and the products of technology, but for that, there is not much difference between the worldly lives of we humans and the other animals, specially, when seen from functional viewpoint. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]If worldly life was to be the criteria for acceptance by ‘The Sat’ (Parvaan) then animals, which any way do not commit any sin, should also be eligible from liberation. But it is not so. Guru Sahib has clearly said in Sri Guru Granth Sahib that birth in human form gives the chance to merge with ‘The Sat’. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Guru Sahib in this sentence has clearly said that ‘The Sat’ should be enshrined in my consciousness if my life’s earnings are to have the merit for acceptance by ‘The Sat’.[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Why Guru Sahib has said this is also clear from my past learning. Which, I share with you. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]‘The Sat’, the source of life, never deserts the person. ‘The Sat’ is always in the person. To begin with ‘The Sat’ always illuminates the consciousness of the person. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]This consciousness is like a mirror, what it receives it reflect back, the person’s being is nothing but this reflection. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]When a baby is born and before ‘I’ (Ahamkara) within this baby starts taking hold in her or him, the baby remains God like. This is so because the absolutely immaculate consciousness (mirror) was reflecting nothing but ‘The Sat’. There was nothing to compete for reflection from this mirror. We all have heard our elders saying that babies are a ‘Roop’ (form) of God; the truth behind this saying is transparent. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]As the person grows in age, she or he goes no collecting the worldly baggage and ‘I’ the Ahamkara grows in this person. The desires, attachment, vices, and worldly goals now compete for the attention of the conscious – the mirror. The person becomes attached to the fruits of Karmic action in this material world. When worldly entities became the sole occupation for the person, the consciousness too becomes totally engrossed with such entities. The consciousness becomes selective; it creates filters, attenuators and even barriers; all this stops reflecting the illumination coming from ‘The Sat’. The consciousness of the person gets linked to this worldly baggage. The immaculate mirror – the consciousness with which the person was born – now gets coated in a way to reflect these worldly entities and goals, which boost the persons ‘Ahamkara’. In a way, from spiritual viewpoint, the mirror (consciousness) is tarnished. The coating on this mirror can became so thick that it no longer reflects the illumination from ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ is forgotten from the consciousness and worldly entities take its place. The wisdom that comes from the illumination of ‘The Sat’ does not come to such person. The ‘I’ (Ahamkara) replaces ‘The Sat’ in the person.[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]The being, which had the potential to become a sage, now drifts towards the life that is functionally animal-like. [/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Such life is not ‘Parvaan’ to ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ can accept only ‘Sat’ like entities[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]The person’s consciousness should have ‘The Sat’ enshrined in it. The mirror – should reflect the illumination that it receives from ‘The Sat’. This reflection alone should be one’s being. This reflection of ‘The Sat’ should guide the persons Karmas both in material world and in spiritual world. This is the earnings of life that are Parvaan to ‘The Sat’. This is what Guru Sahib tells me in this sentence.[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]With this I close my post.[/color][/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]With love and respect for all.[/color][/size] [size=2] [/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Amarpal Singh[/color][/size] [/QUOTE]
