The desire is the cause of the sorrow, sins and immortality. So long as the man has desires for the worldly pleasures it is certain that man will not be free from sorrows even though one may listen to the spiritual discourses and also side by side study the religious and spiritual scriptures. The tendency for the worldly pleasures cannot be rooted out by making efforts, but by not accepting this world as ours. It is like a woman who accepts a man as husband. Does she put in any effort in making him as her husband? Likewise, we are free to accept our relation with anyone. </span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">We have our direct relationship with the Creator. But on the other hand we have accepted our relationship with the matter only on account of the senses as the matter can be experienced by the five senses that we have been endowed with. We do not have that kind of senses that can feel God as it is subtle and hence beyond senses. Here lies the problem that we have to make our mind accept this relationship that cannot be seen and felt by senses though the relationship with God is real and natural as we are <em>spirit </em><em>and are not </em><em>the matter.</em><em> The worldly desires keep us engaged till we live but we never become happy. Real joy and bliss can only be discovered by the mind by searching something from within and that should be everlasting. <span style="color: darkorange">But if we have the desire to enjoy the world we shall miss the divine</span>. <span style="color: blue">One of the ways to root our desire is to live for others by bringing them comfort</span>. <span style="color: darkred">By doing so there are chances that we may start deriving the pleasure from within that is the seat of almighty.</span></em></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

The following are stated in bani in relation to the mind and what it should be doing for the attainment of the state of sahaj.[/FONT] [FONT=GurbaniLipi]mn ry sbid qrhu icqu lwie ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](19-15, isrIrwgu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=AnmolLipi]m[/FONT][FONT=AnmolLipi]yry mn lY lwhw Gir jwih ] [/FONT][COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy][FONT=AnmolLipi](20-12, isrIrwgu, mÚ 1[/FONT])[/FONT][/COLOR] [O my mind, earn the profit, before you return home.][/FONT] [FONT=AnmolLipiSlim][FONT=Book Antiqua]And[/FONT] [/FONT] [FONT=AnmolLipiSlim]jIAry rwm jpq mnu mwnu ] [COLOR=green](20-19, isrIrwgu, mÚ 1) [FONT=Book Antiqua]and[/FONT] [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=AnmolLipi]. jw kau Awey soeI ibhwJhu hir gur qy mnih bsyrw ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](13-17, gauVI pUrbI, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]Purchase only that for which you have come into the world, and through the Guru, the Lord shall dwell within your mind. What one has to purchase is also clarified in the Bani itself.We come here with limited capital of Praan or Breaths. Each breath should be utilised in Simran and naam jap or saas-saas Simran. This method has been advocated while remembering HIM. The precious breath that is not spent in remembering HIM is lost for ever and one should work hard to do this. The second method is saas-gras simran. Thus the stress is paid on Naam abhiyaas to the extent possible. This has also been said to be the best occupation of man kind.Thus one should purchase naam with the limited breaths that we have been bestowed with in this small life.This is the real purchase and the entire purpose of life.But not many of us are able to do this. Those who are blessed with HIS love and the fear of lord do achieve this with HIS grace. [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The relationship with the world creates desires for worldly pleasures. The desire is the cause of the sorrow, sins and immortality. So long as the man has desires for the worldly pleasures it is certain that man will not be free from sorrows even though one may listen to the spiritual discourses and also side by side study the religious and spiritual scriptures. The tendency for the worldly pleasures cannot be rooted out by making efforts, but by not accepting this world as ours. It is like a woman who accepts a man as husband. Does she put in any effort in making him as her husband? Likewise, we are free to accept our relation with anyone. [/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]We have our direct relationship with the Creator. But on the other hand we have accepted our relationship with the matter only on account of the senses as the matter can be experienced by the five senses that we have been endowed with. We do not have that kind of senses that can feel God as it is subtle and hence beyond senses. Here lies the problem that we have to make our mind accept this relationship that cannot be seen and felt by senses though the relationship with God is real and natural as we are [I]spirit [/I][I]and are not [/I][I]the matter.[/I][I] The worldly desires keep us engaged till we live but we never become happy. Real joy and bliss can only be discovered by the mind by searching something from within and that should be everlasting. [COLOR=darkorange]But if we have the desire to enjoy the world we shall miss the divine[/COLOR]. [COLOR=blue]One of the ways to root our desire is to live for others by bringing them comfort[/COLOR]. [COLOR=darkred]By doing so there are chances that we may start deriving the pleasure from within that is the seat of almighty.[/COLOR][/I][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
