[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 144331, member: 35"] Prakash ji Here is where I do not agree: It is true that Hukam is "Law" or "Ordinance" in terms of its definition working from language to language. But is hukam not [B]greater and [/B][B]different [/B]from mere laws that govern creation. The laws of nature, both those we know and those we have yet to discover, are part of hukam. Yet they affect only the material plane of existence and creation. Here I agree that Grace/Nadar [B]are willed[/B] by Parbrahm, but that is not the same thing as saying Grace/Nadar are equal to the "will" of Parbrahm. Some questions imho need attention before we understand "hukam" and "grace." What is the nature of Parbrahm/SAT? What is our relationship to Parbrahm/SAT? We want to connect deeply with the SAT through in love ... Without thinking about our connection to Parbrahm/SAT, it is hard to grasp how, as soul brides, we can fall in love an abstraction because of "hukam" or "laws." It is not, on the other hand, hard to understand that we want to be the soul brides of SAT, and we want to be dyed in the color of love. In that state of love, we may Gurprasad discover that it is "hukam" that binds us to the SAT. Hukam is the food of love. Just my thoughts about a different way of thinking about "hukam." At the end of the first pauree of Japji, Guru Nanak says, [COLOR="Blue"]ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ Hukam rajā▫ī cẖalṇā Nānak likẖi▫ā nāl. ||1|| O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1|| [/COLOR] In so many words, I am asking about this, [LIST] [*]Does this mean that we should accept "hukam," almost like a key word to explain events, understanding it or not? [*]Or, does this mean that we understand hukam only when we realize how great is the SAT and how deep is that love? Do we then submit helplessly to hukam in love and awe, and thence overcome duality? [/LIST] The end of the second Pauree suggests the second question, not the first, is way hukam works. [COLOR="Blue"]ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੈ ਜੇ ਬੁਝੈ ਤ ਹਉਮੈ ਕਹੈ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥੨॥ Nānak hukmai je bujẖai ṯa ha▫umai kahai na ko▫e. ||2|| O Nanak, one who understands His Command, does not speak in ego. ||2||[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
