[QUOTE="Inderjeet Kaur, post: 211608, member: 16531"] I was just reading in SGGS about these trivial things and how unsatisfying they become. Let me go find it. I'll be back in a bit. OK I found what I was looking for. [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%96'][/URL] I am no great interpreter of Gurbani, but this shabad seems to be talking about those who get engrossed and totally immersed in maya. When you have found something better, something real inside you, "The Ambrosial Nectar abides with you," these people are painful to be around. I think of a situation I used to often find myself in, the only sober person at a party. I eventually learned to handle that by staying away from such parties. I have no control over others. I can see them entangled in maya, going off after things that are ultimately - and often immediately - useless and unsatisfying. Sometimes it is so maddening that I want to grab them and shake them and yell at them, "Wake up!" something that would be completely counterproductive. They would most likely, and rightfully respond, "Who the H. do you think you are? Go away. Get out of my way and leave me alone." There is a very real danger of falling into an ego trap at this point, feeling myself spiritually superior to others. That's a very bad trap and a hard one to claw myself out of. When I find myself in this situation, it's useful to consider if these people engrossed in trivialities are mirroring back to me a part of myself that I don't like, a part I go so far as to deny I even have. The fact is, of course, that each of us is where we are on this great journey, some a bit ahead, some a bit behind. We are most fortunate because we have direct access to ten people who have completed the journey successfully, and have left us their writings and the examples of their lives to help us learn what we need to know and then to put it into practice. As the last line suggests, it is through the mercy of Guru ji that I find myself amongst the Saadh Sangat, where I can live and learn and grow, moving forward in my journey. Would I be too far out of line if I suggest it might be a good thing to feel disconnected from those so entangled i n maya? I must be cautious not to be drawn into their world., If I keep going to drunken parties, how long will I remain sober? These are just a few of my thoughts. You'll have to find your own answers that work for you. Our Eternal Guru, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, has the answers there for you to find. It is "the key to every door." Remember, a key will only open a door if you put it into the lock and turn it. I feel myself getting preachy, which means it's time for me to stop. Remain in charhdi kala and let us know how you're coming along. [/QUOTE]
