Ego Is The Chronic Disease​

haumai deeragh rog ha –
EGO IS A CHRONIC DISEASE


The worst enemy of our soul is our Ego – Haumai – Ahankaar – this is the worst enemy of our soul because this is the one that has kept us apart from the Param Jyot Puran Parkash Dhan Dhan Paar Braham Parmesar for ages together. It is the most tough and difficult to control and also gives birth to so many other enemies and mental sicknesses that reside in our physical body, and control our mind and soul. One of the worst enemies is the Maya that has been born through the Haumai, and the Maya has appeared in different forms around us in our daily life in various forms, including our own physical body, blood relationships, worldly comforts, countless material objects and the list goes on. In other words the effect of Maya on our soul and mind is due to our own Haumai, and if there is no Haumai, there is no effect of Maya on our deeds and behavior, our dealings and our actions and reactions. The next difficult Doot that sustains the status of the Doot is the Moh, and the existence of this form of Maya is responsible for all our sorrows and misdeeds, which are complementary to each other. The next form of Maya is the Lobh – the greed, the desire to own wealth by fair or foul means, there is a reptilian brain that resides inside the human brain, the mentality to grab and run, which takes us mentally so much down that we don’t hesitate to do any heinous act to grab and become rich and richer at any cost. Again if we are free of Haumai, the Lobh – greed form of Maya will not be able to distract us, because nothing belongs to us except the Almighty, everything else is perishable only, only divinity and spirituality will go with us, so why keep attached to these forms of Maya.

The next enemy of our soul is Anger – Krodh – which is again due to ego, Haumai, whenever our ego gets hurt we get hurt emotionally and we become angry, these are again complementary things. Kaam is also born from Maya and is another enemy of our soul. In a nutshell the Ego – Haumai – Ahankaar is our worst enemy, is worst mental sickness, is responsible for our separation from the Almighty for ages together, and is a major roadblock in the path to Sach Khand.

Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Patshah Ji has been very kind on us who brought this divine and eternal treasures of Braham Gyan on this earth from the Dargah of Dhan Dhan Paar Braham Parmesar. Let us look at some of these priceless diamonds and jewels of divinity and divine knowledge and try to pickup such diamonds and jewels and carve them in our inside forever, and how can we do that – by practicing them in our daily life. Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Patshah has disseminated Puran Gyan for Puran Bhagtee in the divine words of Asa Di Vaar, and at this time let us look at the following Shaloks sung on Haumai in Turqi Bani, where He has been very kind on us to tell us what is the effect of haumai on our daily life and how it works through our daily life through our thoughts, actions and deeds:

salok ma 1 ||
ho vich aaeiaa ho vich gaeiaa ||
ho vich ja(n)miaa ho vich muaa ||
ho vich dhithaa ho vich laeiaa ||
ho vich khattiaa ho vich gaeiaa ||
ho vich sachiaar koorriaar ||
ho vich paap pu(n)n veechaar ||
ho vich narak surag avathaar ||
ho vich hasai ho vich rovai ||
ho vich bhareeai ho vich dhhovai ||
ho vich jaathee jinasee khovai ||
ho vich moorakh ho vich siaanaa ||
mokh mukath kee saar n jaanaa ||
ho vich maaeiaa ho vich shhaaeiaa ||
houmai kar kar ja(n)th oupaaeiaa ||
houmai boojhai thaa dhar soojhai ||
giaan vihoonaa kathh kathh loojhai ||
naanak hukamee likheeai laekh ||
jaehaa vaekhehi thaehaa vaekh ||1||
Shalok, First Mehl:
In ego they come, and in ego they go.
In ego they are born, and in ego they die.
In ego they give, and in ego they take.
In ego they earn, and in ego they lose.
In ego they become truthful or false.
In ego they reflect on virtue and sin.
In ego they go to heaven or hell.
In ego they laugh, and in ego they weep.
In ego they become dirty, and in ego they are washed clean.
In ego they lose social status and class.
In ego they are ignorant, and in ego they are wise.
They do not know the value of salvation and liberation.
In ego they love Maya, and in ego they are kept in darkness by it.
Living in ego, mortal beings are created.
When one understands ego, then the Lord’s gate is known.
Without spiritual wisdom, they babble and argue.
O Nanak, by the Lord’s Command, destiny is recorded.
As the Lord sees us, so are we seen. ||1||

The soul has been separated from the Origin – The Seed (Beej) that is called


Ek Oankaar Satnaam – One God Named “Truth”

The Almighty – Param Jyot Purn Parkash Dhan Dhan Paar Braham Parmesar due to the creation of ME, MY AND MINE within our mind and soul. There is a strong wall built between the Almighty and our soul due to these three words, where the man thinks, acts and does everything under the influence of these three words, and this is Haumai – Ahankaar, where the man thinks nothing else but for his own selfishness, he has totally forgotten that there is a divine light in him due to which he has been born –


man thoo(n) joth saroop hai aapanaa mool pashhaan ||
man har jee thaerai naal hai guramathee ra(n)g maan ||
mool pashhaanehi thaa(n) sahu jaanehi maran jeevan kee sojhee hoee ||
gur parasaadhee eaeko jaanehi thaa(n) dhoojaa bhaao n hoee ||
man saa(n)th aaee vajee vadhhaaee thaa hoaa paravaan ||
eio kehai naanak man thoo(n) joth saroop hai apanaa mool pashhaan ||5||



O my mind, you are the embodiment of the Divine Light – recognize your own origin.
O my mind, the Dear Lord is with you; through the Guru’s Teachings, enjoy His Love.
Acknowledge your origin, and then you shall know your Husband Lord,
and so understand death and birth.
By Guru’s Grace, know the One; then, you shall not love any other.
Peace comes to the mind, and gladness resounds; then, you shall be acclaimed.
Thus says Nanak: O my mind, you are the very image of the Luminous Lord; recognize the true origin of your self. ||5||
