It may happen when we are sleeping and may be in our dreams or in any other fashion[/I]] The True Guru is found in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. Day and night, praise the Lord through the sabads of Guru [[I]i.e. bani for us[/I]] The True Merchandise, Wealth and Capital[ [I]i.e. Naam[/I]] are obtained when the Guru enlightens us. As fire is extinguished by pouring on water, the streams of desire [ that keep us in ego and in Maya] are enslaved and the physical death will not affect one and in this way, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, carrying others across with you. ||2|| The Gurmukhs do not like falsehood. [ [I]i.e. Maya oriented worldly affairs[/I]] They are imbued with Truth; they love only Truth. The shaktas, the faithless cynics, do not like the Truth and their foundations are false [[I]i.e. their affairs are based on maya or the materialistic way of life or may be hedonism[/I]]. Imbued with Truth, one will meet the Lord and the finally are absorbed into the Lord. ||3|| [[I]'Lord' in place of 'Guru', it is the meaning derived by me i.e Imbued with the truth one shall meet the Lord and finally will be united with Him. Thus the term ‘Guru’ in this line would mean Lord and not the Guru Sahibs in their physical garbs. For me it is an example of the usage of the term ‘Guru’ for the ‘Lord.’ [/I]] Within the mind are emeralds and rubies, the Jewel of the Naam, treasures and diamonds. The Naam is the True Merchandise and Wealth; in each and every heart, His Presence is deep and profound. Says Nanak;’ the Gurmukh finds the Diamond of the Lord, by His Kindness and Compassion.’ ||4||21|| [B]Qualities of seeker[/B] [LIST] [*]Meditate on Lord [*]Follow Guru’s Teachings [*]Improve the Quality of Mind [*]Always seek Sangat [/LIST] Bhul Chuk Mauf [/QUOTE]
