[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 65853, member: 5290"] I am trying to put in brief ,may be it is helpful, though having a fear for something that may not be tangible[[I][B][FONT=Arial]1[/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial]that cannot be touched; incorporeal; impalpable ,or[/FONT][FONT=Arial]designating or of any of certain business assets, esp. goodwill, that have no material being but have monetary value or,[/FONT][/I][I][FONT=Arial]that cannot be easily defined, formulated, or grasped; vague][/FONT][/I]yet intangible ,formless yet in all forms and all pervasive and permeating each and every one should itself give the feeling of someone beyond human comprehension and generatess the feeling of some one very big and worthy of respect as HE is the provider to all of us and is the Architect Of our Destiny. Without HIM we cannot exist as we exist for He wanted us and that is why we are even interacting. This should be a reason enough that we should have develop fear ofr such a wonderful and magnanimous personality. 1. God's Fear does not mean to be afraid of God. It simply implies respect, Love, reverence, veneration or [FONT=GurbaniAkharHeavy]Adb[/FONT] for the Divine Law, [I]Hukam[/I] etc. 2. "Fear" (respect, reverence, Love or [FONT=GurbaniAkharHeavy]Adb[/FONT]) keeps a seeker in the scale of morality and righteousness, which, in turn, encourages Spiritual Life, Spiritual discipline, meditation, cultivation of Self-knowledge through inner inquiry and one-pointed conscious Love for God. With the help of these Divine Attributes, one adorns [I]Bhgati[/I] (devotion) with its important element of [I]Bairaag[/I] — detachment from materiality and temptations, and attachment to the practice of Love and devotion of the Pure Self ([I]Joti-Svaroopa[/I]) within. According to the SGGS, only those deeds are "excellent" (good [I]Karanee[/I]) that are done in the Fear of God (respect, reverence, Love or [FONT=GurbaniAkharHeavy]Adb[/FONT]), otherwise they are "false". Thus the third Guru Sahib says, "Forsake desire, and abide in the Fear of God; O Nanak, these are the most excellent actions". 3. Although both the unfaithful ([I]Bemukh, Saakat[/I], the [I]Manmukh[/I] or nonbeliever) and the faithful (the opposite of [I]Bemukh[/I] or believer) entertain the Fear, but the Fear of both is something different. In separation from God, the [I]Bemukh[/I] or [I]Saakat[/I] is full of all other fears (e.g., fear of death, repeated suffering etc.). It's common to see such people subscribe to religion out of fear. They practice the various religious injunctions because of apprehension that nonperformance of the same will lead to retribution from God. Ignorance is the root of such fear. The basis of any religion is Love of God and hence anything done out of fear is due to immaturity. In True Love, how there can be any room for any kind of reprisal? The faithful, on the other hand, Fears the All -powerful God in deep reverence, respect, Love, [FONT=GurbaniAkharHeavy]Adb[/FONT] etc. So he has no other fears (such as the fear of death etc.) because he does not consider himself to be separate from God at any given moment I am putting it as it is as there is nothing new that I have added. t.b.contd.
