Gurbani stresses on to keep molding the mind till it becomes able to love Him in sincerity and to take His Hukam a part of Him. My concept of this world is changed by Gurbani, in a fact, people whatever they do, are just doing as per His will, I try not to hate people if they say very bad things, only I don’t want to be in their company, that’s all., my fear is that, again I can be subjected to similar situations. This is also a negative attitude towards His Hukam but I feel He inspires me to stay away from such company. In such decisions I may not be liked by many but internal peace I get to remain away from such company is worth to take such action.</span></span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Now, as per your post, you have covered only positive aspect of His inspiration, there are other situations. If we see a snake, at once it comes into mind “kill it”. We very well know now that the snake bites due to its protective-instinct, like a biologist, shouldn’t we ignore that and let it go if it’s not a threat. By doing so, would it be turning down God? I mean many times negative feelings do come from within. Gurubani goes one step further, it inspires to thank Him even if some witness pains and sorrows by calling it “ Eh vee dat teri dataar”(Japji). There is a big reason behind it, in His love; one doesn’t question Him as being aware of His being beyond error. How we can say in pain “Waheguru tera shukr hai?” Only if we are in love with Him and understand His Hukam is beyond error regardless how it appears to us. That need a lot of work within and Gurbani repeatedly says so by giving examples from farming, process of making Yogurt etc.</span></span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">I am truly amazed at your attitude towards all things and Him but I find it a little off the line when Gurbani is read and understood. For you, no inner battle is needed, Gurbani says that it is necessary, to go for stilling mind, you give points to reach there but Gurbani asks Sikhs to be a warrior to win within negative primal forces and keep singing His praise and trying to still the mind in His love and leave it to His grace to have bliss.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">To love HIM, the</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> purity of mind is also necessary This kind of difference in your approach and Gurbani amazes me. After having said all, I still applaud your inspirational views and thank you for this. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span> <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">With Regards</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">G Singh</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="pk70, post: 100657, member: 5889"] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]Respected Mahabir Singh Ji[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]I haven’t reached the state of mind as you are in, why I say” I do this because Guru has advised me to do(often I say, all credit is to Guru) this? “ Let me please explain, I have heard and read numerous people verbally or in words they penned down, only peace of whatever level I have, came from listening to Guru.

Good news is that He has blessed me not to give up and to pass by those conflicts. For an example if some people become unbearable due to their negativity, I want to go away, not because I hate them but to keep my peace I get through very hard way.

By S. Manmohan Singh Ji)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3] The feeling of His closeness doesn’t guarantee to still the mind, so struggle continues. Gurbani stresses on to keep molding the mind till it becomes able to love Him in sincerity and to take His Hukam a part of Him. My concept of this world is changed by Gurbani, in a fact, people whatever they do, are just doing as per His will, I try not to hate people if they say very bad things, only I don’t want to be in their company, that’s all., my fear is that, again I can be subjected to similar situations. This is also a negative attitude towards His Hukam but I feel He inspires me to stay away from such company. In such decisions I may not be liked by many but internal peace I get to remain away from such company is worth to take such action.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]Now, as per your post, you have covered only positive aspect of His inspiration, there are other situations. If we see a snake, at once it comes into mind “kill it”. We very well know now that the snake bites due to its protective-instinct, like a biologist, shouldn’t we ignore that and let it go if it’s not a threat. By doing so, would it be turning down God? I mean many times negative feelings do come from within. Gurubani goes one step further, it inspires to thank Him even if some witness pains and sorrows by calling it “ Eh vee dat teri dataar”(Japji). There is a big reason behind it, in His love; one doesn’t question Him as being aware of His being beyond error. How we can say in pain “Waheguru tera shukr hai?” Only if we are in love with Him and understand His Hukam is beyond error regardless how it appears to us. That need a lot of work within and Gurbani repeatedly says so by giving examples from farming, process of making Yogurt etc.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]I am truly amazed at your attitude towards all things and Him but I find it a little off the line when Gurbani is read and understood. For you, no inner battle is needed, Gurbani says that it is necessary, to go for stilling mind, you give points to reach there but Gurbani asks Sikhs to be a warrior to win within negative primal forces and keep singing His praise and trying to still the mind in His love and leave it to His grace to have bliss.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]To love HIM, the[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3] purity of mind is also necessary This kind of difference in your approach and Gurbani amazes me. After having said all, I still applaud your inspirational views and thank you for this. :)[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]With Regards G Singh[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
