[QUOTE="lalihayer, post: 91190, member: 5412"] [COLOR=Blue][B]was Guruji passionate about Gods will?[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]I think, Yes. First bani in Guru Granth Sahib starts with pauris explaining 'Hukam'. It has to be important concept in Sikhism. Why is important to understand 'Hukam'? Aside from it being 'the truth', another reason is 'ego', 'Ego' is one of most powerful emotion we have to fight in our lives. Accepting 'Hukam' is essential to kill that beast. We must understand whole universe is pre-destined since first incident in universe. Every action cause a reaction and every action is also caused by another previous action.[/COLOR] I will try to explain a little bit more. If we think carefully about our life, we will realize that life is nothing but sequnce of events or incidents. Some are small. Some are really big. Most we can't even remember that those occurred. One thing led to another and I end up writing these thoughts on my computer. One thing led to another and you end up reading my thoughts on paper or computer screen. Is there any chance this present would have been different than it is now? I watched a movie 'Butterfly Effect' sometime few months back. The name of the movie refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location. In little more simpler words, a small action done now may cause a very big reaction sometime in future. Another example is a ball rolled from top of hill may go on rolling across many valleys before stopping depending upon conditions and slope of hill. If we analyze this Butterfly Effect, another question comes along. If flapping of butterfly's wings can cause big tornado in future, how can a butterfly flap a wing without anything causing it ? Something must have caused it to flap in first place. This universe came into existence unknown time ago (Big Bang or any other expalainations) and after first incident in this universe, sequence of events started to happen as per the Laws Of Nature. One sequence of events led to another and another led to many other. Every event happened as a result of some number of events and resulting event happened after taking account Laws Of Nature. These sequences are running in whole universe from minute level to grandest levels as per Laws Of Nature and will reach a position of final fate for universe sometime in future. To explain further, I will take two successive moments in timeline of universe. First moment is there. Every part of universe (smallest to grandest) is at a certain place. Just think about that moment with whole universe standing still. We agree that nothing can be changed in this moment. To change anything in this moment, we have to go back in past and that is impossible. Laws of Nature are absolute. We can't change it. Let us move to next moment. This next moment is result of every part of universe (smallest to grandest) in previous moment and Laws of nature controlling the outcome to this next moment. We understand first discussed moment was unchangeable and Laws of Nature are absolute. How can we say this second moment could have possiblities of more than one? I understand it is very hard to accept we don't have any choice. Some usual objections we would have in mind will be like-- "I am master of my will. How can anybody control it?" or "If nothing is in our control, how can we responsible for our actions?" or "Why one has to face hardship or painful experience, if one was not even responsible for it in first place?" or "If everything is pre-destined, should we stop doing any effort" All the answers are in first part i.e. accepting His Hukam. But we will discuss more in detail. [/QUOTE]
