Two Questions About God

[Astroboy]

As I am beginning to understand, Nanak Ji, reflects on the passing stages of the marriage of the bride and the Lord and this ends, as has been said above, in peace and the blossoming of the heart in the naam. This is beautiful, as the ceremony is single and non-dual, but yet there are various aspects or stages within the unison of bride and Groom. This leads to an interesting assumption which is that devotion, in the sense of naam, continues despite the “blending” or unity of creation (man) with creator (the One Lord God). This is because it is the Lord’s will that one will reflect on His magnificence and remember Him, is it not?

Amber Ji,

I can remember two shabads that say that we need to be in the company of a true friend who will take us across to the other side. The shabads are:-

Ang 1102 Guru Arjan,

<table cellspacing="5"><tbody><tr><td>ਸਲੋਕ ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
सलोक डखणे मः ५ ॥
Salok dakẖ▫ṇe mėhlā 5.
Shalok, Dakhanay, Fifth Mehl:

</td></tr> <tr><td> ਨਾਨਕ ਕਚੜਿਆ ਸਿਉ ਤੋੜਿ ਢੂਢਿ ਸਜਣ ਸੰਤ ਪਕਿਆ ॥
नानक कचड़िआ सिउ तोड़ि ढूढि सजण संत पकिआ ॥
Nānak kacẖṛi▫ā si▫o ṯoṛ dẖūdẖ sajaṇ sanṯ ****ā.
O Nanak, break away from the false, and seek out the Saints, your true friends.

</td></tr> <tr><td> ਓਇ ਜੀਵੰਦੇ ਵਿਛੁੜਹਿ ਓਇ ਮੁਇਆ ਨ ਜਾਹੀ ਛੋੜਿ ॥੧॥
ओइ जीवंदे विछुड़हि ओइ मुइआ न जाही छोड़ि ॥१॥
O▫e jīvande vicẖẖuṛėh o▫e mu▫i▫ā na jāhī cẖẖoṛ. ||1||
The false shall leave you, even while you are still alive; but the Saints shall not forsake you, even when you are dead. ||1||


The other shabad is in Ang 729, Guru Nanak says,

</td></tr></tbody></table>ਸਜਣ ਸੇਈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਲੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ॥
सजण सेई नालि मै चलदिआ नालि चलंन्हि ॥
Sajaṇ se▫ī nāl mai cẖalḏi▫ā nāl cẖalaʼnniĥ.
They alone are my friends, who travel along with me;

ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਖੜੇ ਦਿਸੰਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
जिथै लेखा मंगीऐ तिथै खड़े दिसंनि ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Jithai lekẖā mangī▫ai ṯithai kẖaṛe ḏisann. ||1|| rahā▫o.
and in that place, where the accounts are called for, they appear standing with me. ||1||Pause||
