(1)</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">A committed spiritual-journey seeker starts with a longing for Him and is prepared the heart to realize Him. This Guru waak is loaded with hints. Why does heart need to be prepared (bedding for Him in heart) to realize Him? Answer is well expressed in Jap Ji” “ gaveeai, sunye mann rakhye bhaao”( singing and hearing His praise and have filled up the heart with love for Him is essential.) That is a vital step one has to take to go on the spiritual journey. Indication is also given here about all other means to realize Him and their inability to help out the seeker. When the seeker prepares the heart for Him, a lot of change occurs in behaviour. The ego is ruptured which is very important for the preparation for the union with The Almighty. Eventually it is wiped out completely. It is a fundamental principle of Sikhism.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(Meaning in essence: Oh Lord how this poor heart can be stilled without you?

What is the secret? To be involved with Him without any distraction what so ever. It is the mind that gets stilled by being in love with Him. If any one follows the Guru, with His grace, results will be amazing, and then the state of mind goes beyond words. Can it happen? It is very much possible. Battle against ego must be won.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(Meaning in essence: There is only one bed in the heart on which Lord and soul wife reside.

(2)</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The guru waak clearly expresses how we remain lost in materialistic world in stead of getting lost in His memory. Sleeping is a reference towards our being looted by Maya and our inability to realize that situation. We can be awakened or may not be; it depends on His Will ( Hukam). Without His grace we just stay in there. When we turn towards Him, and infuse a longing for Him, with Guru’s blessings, His grace is bestowed. Indication to the followers is not to grossly involve in this materialistic world because it works as a wall against Him and us.(Japji)</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(Meaning in essence: Oh my friend, I have been searching for Him, a lot of time has elapsed and I am exhausted and sad.

All the illusions that work as a wall between the soul and the Creator are shattered with the guidance and blessings of Guru.

No ritual is discussed here. No need of pilgrimage is required.</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

In this state of mind, whichever way I look, I see only Him ( 4, Pause 2nd )[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Here importance of Guru is made clearer. All the illusions that work as a wall between the soul and the Creator are shattered with the guidance and blessings of Guru. Company of True Seekers ( Sadh Sangat) is also very important because it is environment that affects us mostly.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In what realm the soul is landed after having Guru’s guidance and His grace? There where only His presence is visible. Ego is finished and world around is changed.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Beautifully Satguru narrates about spiritual journey and the barriers we face with. Seeker’s sincere love for Him and Guru’s right guidance lead the seeker to higher realm because right guidance of Guru and sincere love of the seeker, work together for His grace. No ritual is discussed here. No need of pilgrimage is required.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
