The real causes of perturbation in our mind are caused by the five vices: Kama (desires) Krodh (anger), Lobh (greed), Moh (attachments) and Ahamkara (ego). The saints have shed all these vices and hence there is no agency in them that can cause perturbation in the otherwise calm mind. They accept what the providence gives then in response to their efforts. There is no expectation in their mind; they put in effort for the right cause and the rest they leave it to ‘The Sat’.

We all know that a large number of medical problems arise because the way we use our mental faculties. For example, when in tension, the immune system gets depressed and creates conditions in which many diseases invade us. The tense mind affects our ability to discriminate effectively and results in many social problems. The ‘Naam’ helps us to cleanse our mind and free it from the hold of the vices. The pure, simple and awakened mind gives a very pleasant living. This way I understand that the Jaap/Simran acts as a medicine for we humans.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">7. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">hir jn kY hir nwmu inDwnu ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">har jan kai har naam ni<u>Dh</u>aan.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> For the God-centered person, ‘Naam’ is the treasure.</span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib says that the God-centered persons consider the gift of ‘Naam’ as the treasure.

We all know that a large number of medical problems arise because the way we use our mental faculties. For example, when in tension, the immune system gets depressed and creates conditions in which many diseases invade us. The tense mind affects our ability to discriminate effectively and results in many social problems. The ‘Naam’ helps us to cleanse our mind and free it from the hold of the vices. The pure, simple and awakened mind gives a very pleasant living. This way I understand that the Jaap/Simran acts as a medicine for we humans.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]7.

It conveys that there is an element of Gurparsadi in it. It means it comes when we meet some conditions. As I understand, this happens only when we surrender ourselves to ‘The Sat’; in other words we must surrender our ‘I-ness’ and seek refuge in ‘The Sat’.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]9.
