[QUOTE="pk70, post: 89691, member: 5889"] [B]To keep the Lord in the pocket or in the heart![/B] [B] [/B] [B]We, Sikhs being learners, should follow Guru Teachings doubtlessly; we love Guru and the Lord; however, we love more ourselves than the Lord. That alone, disturbs our spiritual journey. As long as hypocritical deeds and behavior are accepted by the mind, all appears to be fine but in truth, it is not. To understand it further, it is fair to say that through the deeds and behavior triggered by “I-force”, we keep the Lord in our pockets in stead of in our hearts.

How sincerely we learn from the Guru? We like to learn but we don’t in fact. That is why we really do not have peace of mind (I am talking about the ever peace of mind not the momentarily peace)? People say” we are happy and also we are satisfied”; however, what they express through their talk and behavior, is disappointing in the context of peace and contentment. There are a few questions that bother me being a learner.[/B] [B]Why does mind bottle up with hatred if some one says some thing against this” I-force”? Doesn’t Guru says it is immaterial what others say about you? (SGGS Ji 24)[/B] [B]We recite and understand Gurbani (at last its initial principles) but we fail whenever to make a choice to follow Gurbani or the mind?[/B] [B]Why does the mind get thrilled by some one’s a compliment? Who is behind this longing to be praised?[/B] [B]When some one, who is closer, does make a mistake, we eagerly turn generous to forgive but make a mountain out of a hole if other makes the same kind of mistake, why?[/B] [B]In other simple words, why does this mind lack stillness even after declaring our alliance to the Guru?[/B] [B]Why does mind still think that other than the Gurbani, there are lots of stuff that can help us more or it should also considered for spiritual progression besides Gurbani? Why is this duality or a diversion from a complete surrender to Guru?[/B] [B]Guru gives us warning to choose the company because it influences our behavior and attitude a lot[/B] [B][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਓਨਾ ਪਾਸਿ ਦੁਆਸਿ ਨ ਭਿਟੀਐ ਜਿਨ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=AnmolUniPr] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#AB5555][FONT=Raavi]ਅੰਤਰਿ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=AnmolUniPr] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਚੰਡਾਲ [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]੩[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=black]Onā pās [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ḏ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]u▫ās na b[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]itī▫ai jin an[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ṯ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]ar kro[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ḏẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black] c[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]andāl. ||3||[/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=black]Do not meet with, or even approach those people, whose hearts are filled with horrible anger. ||3||[/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=green][FONT=Raavi]ਮਃ [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolUniPr]4[/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][U][COLOR=black][FONT=AnmolUniPr]Why?

Think about an instance of filling a utensils with milk; if in the utensil, there is some filth, milk will not remain milk, the other thing will get mixed with the milk; so to have pure milk in the utensil, the filth needs to be cleaned. Guru can enable us to do so only if our hearts are cleaned as per Guru Direction; however, a few keep the heart pure as per Guru Observation:[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਸੂਚੈ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=AnmolUniPr] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#AB5555][FONT=Raavi]ਭਾਡੈ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=AnmolUniPr] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਸਾਚੁ ਸਮਾਵੈ [U]ਵਿਰਲੇ ਸੂਚਾਚਾਰੀ[/U] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=black]Sūc[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]ai b[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]ādai sāc[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black] samāvai virle sūc[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]āc[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ẖ[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black]ārī.[/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=black]In the pure vessel, the True Name is contained; [U]how few are those[/U] who practice true conduct.[/COLOR] [/B][B][COLOR=green][FONT=Raavi]ਮਃ [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolUniPr]1[/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B]To be continued[/B] [B][COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolUniPr][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
