If attention is paid, one can realize that Fifth Nanak is stressing on Lord’s Ordinance according to which we are bound regardless our claims about our intellectual force. In JapJi Sahib, it is made clear that only through knowing His Hukam one can sculpture oneself to be free of that force exists within that leads to nothing but unending miseries in different forms. Now let’s reread Guru Shabad to understand the Guru Message and its broad application.</p><p> <strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span>

Many times we feed others ego to feed our own ego. No wonder Guru ji stresses on taking all good and bad equally as His Will. When individual ego is gone, who is left? Isn’t it the Lord only?

[QUOTE="pk70, post: 91808, member: 5889"] [B]Understanding Journey of the Devotees of the Lord[/B] [B]Gurvinder janu Ji[/B] has posted a Shabad(discussed in detail below) on a separate thread “[U]What Is Your New Year Resolution[/U]”, it addresses half of the Sikhi principles. If attention is paid, one can realize that Fifth Nanak is stressing on Lord’s Ordinance according to which we are bound regardless our claims about our intellectual force. In JapJi Sahib, it is made clear that only through knowing His Hukam one can sculpture oneself to be free of that force exists within that leads to nothing but unending miseries in different forms. Now let’s reread Guru Shabad to understand the Guru Message and its broad application.

Game of ego is all about pleasing our own “self”, the moment one stops pleasing it, world looks different. As long as we keep indulged in satisfying it, many things are done. Many times we feed others ego to feed our own ego. No wonder Guru ji stresses on taking all good and bad equally as His Will. When individual ego is gone, who is left? Isn’t it the Lord only?
