The spiritual goal is not gained as long as we are into pleasing our “self” and others. Bani written in the praise of the Lord goes beyond papers. To feel Presence of the Lord is just impossible as long as we are torn apart between this worldly right and wrong affair and pursuit to seek Him. That is another reason, in Gurbani, it is repeatedly said “a few in million will realize Him” Both slokas of Kabir ji hint at ego and knowledge related to ego as hindrance in union with the Lord. In the Sloka number 173, Kabir ji is directly advising us to get rid of ego related knowledge but to ponder over the divine knowledge acquired through learning religious scriptures and to meditate on the Lord. These are my humble views on it.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></strong></p><p><strong>[/FONT]</strong>[/FONT]<strong></strong></p><p> <strong></strong></p><p> <strong>[/FONT]</strong></p></blockquote><p></p>

Illiterate ones do not have that problem and are quickly eager to give up all that causing the fire and are saved. The intellectuals remained stick to ego and consequently are burnt by it. The next sloka is very relevant to this one.

It means ponder over obtained knowledge of scriptures and meditate on the Lord. [/B] [B]Burning of the body should not be related to time as per your friend’s statement because ti[U]me is fixed for all[/U], commoners or enlightened ones, it is the ego that sets fire along with other negative forces for which we remain determined to please them.[/B] [B]I agree with your friend where he/she states about getting above praise or criticism and pleasing business. The spiritual goal is not gained as long as we are into pleasing our “self” and others. Bani written in the praise of the Lord goes beyond papers. To feel Presence of the Lord is just impossible as long as we are torn apart between this worldly right and wrong affair and pursuit to seek Him. That is another reason, in Gurbani, it is repeatedly said “a few in million will realize Him” Both slokas of Kabir ji hint at ego and knowledge related to ego as hindrance in union with the Lord. In the Sloka number 173, Kabir ji is directly advising us to get rid of ego related knowledge but to ponder over the divine knowledge acquired through learning religious scriptures and to meditate on the Lord. These are my humble views on it.:) [/FONT][/B][/FONT][B] [/FONT][/B] [/QUOTE]
