[QUOTE="Pathfinder, post: 211097, member: 21250"] A good old freind dropped by yesterday and spent[SIZE=16px] the evening with me. Somehow he kept advising me to 'live it up' and not suffer?? so early. I could suffer after 60. God would not mind he stated. I was in a 'aloofish' frame of mind and kept ignoring his endless jibes. He went on for an hour. 'Gurudwara is in the heart', 'these prabhat pheris are a way to show off your status (??), nothing else, etc.[/SIZE] I am a patient bull but I was supercool even by my own standards. He kept provoking me to get into a animated discussion while I steadfastly refused to step into his trap. When he got tired he said that he felt sorry that an educated fool like me fell into the trap and failed to see sense and kept visiting the Gurudwara in vain. I snapped suddenly. I politely asked him to ' design a perfect God' and describe him/her/it to me. He was taken aback and he took a while before he began his non stop chattering for close to 10 minutes. He described his version of his 'perfectly designed God'. I truly felt blessed listening to him rattle off the qualities, attributes and virtues of the 'perfectly designed God'. Once he had stopped I smiled. He seemed livid. I asked him to forgive me but I said I was expecting something original and not a cut, copy , paste job. He had just described a few virtues of the Guru Maharaj to me. Only he had stolen a few qualities unintenionally of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and a few from Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He must love all, he must be kind, compassionate, he must fight injustice etc. Once he had described his version in further detail i was sure he was just adding in qualities of Guru Harkishen Ji and Guru Ramdass and the rest of the Nanak's. He then went on to state that his 'Perfect God' was powerful, present everywhere, knew everything etc. I told him that he he was describing the qualities and virtues of an already existing God- Akaal. He then began to argue that - 'No, this is my God'. I told him that he sounded dangerously foolish now. He left shortly after- angry, fuming and upset. I went to bed relaxed and peaceful. He will be back again, we are like I said - good friends. He showed me today of how pathetic and lost a man wrapped in worldy pursuits looks like. How his constant references to his suv'discovery', i-phone, his high end club membership, his contacts - if you need this I can speak to That guy, living the big-time etc I just hope my freind realises his 'Perfect God' was always there, is always there, will always be there. That his peace of mind is not sold in branded or upmarket stores. Peace of mind, of the soul is within one where the Akaal resides. [/QUOTE]
