Binseo - Vinash - Destruction/ Elimination. (Many more verses; search "eliminate" on srigranth.org.)</p><p>So what is going on here?! Come out of the language trap. Wrestling, eliminating, imprisoning, controlling, subdueing etc are all pointing towards something else.</p><p> </p><p>When I was younger, my father used to say "aim for 100% marks and you shall obtain 90%" (he actually used to say 120% and get 100%)</p><p>My response to this was, "Dad it is impossible to get 100% (120%) so why would I even go for it? I should just go for a high mark, 90%, and then reach that goal of 90%" </p><p>Now both father and son know that 100% (120%) is not realistically possible (it is in certain cases and theoretically but anyway). And both father and son know that a really intense effort is required to get high marks. The father is trying to arouse intensity in his son to get that 'A', and the son is trying to be realistic with his goals. </p><p> </p><p>If the son resists his father's suggestion, he falls. If the father holds expectations, he falls. </p><p> </p><p>We are the sons of our Father here. (meditate)</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>Getting rid of the ego is like becoming a master in a craft e.g. art, music, poetry. Not everyone can become a master at it. And those who <strong>do</strong> master it, can still improve further. Even though they can still improve, we call them masters or Gurus (masters of morality). They represent perfection, mastery in their fields. </p><p> </p><p>If you believe they are flawed (imperfect), you will not be able to learn from them as much. Notice Guru Amar Das ji's use of the word "Gur Pura", Pura - complete, Complete Guru, Perfect Guru. </p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color: black">In other places, the same Gurus will say how imperfect they actually are.</span></p><p> </p><p>Holding the father/son viewpoint together is like walking a tight rope. Knowing you cannot achieve perfection you must strive to acheive it. With this intensity, mastery (liberation) is obtained. Understand this point. </p><p> </p><p>You must strive for perfection even if you believe no such thing exists. (meditate) </p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p> </p><p>See if you can begin to see the value of all views that are presented here. In my opinion, everyone here is quite wise. So accept each other's wisdom.</p><p> </p><p>We all go into a pattern of replying to each other immediately without any contemplation. Contemplate on each post and shabad at least for a few days, longer if possible, they come from wise sources. Then reply.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p> </p><p>I will leave you all with this shabad.</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><span style="color: #800000"><a

[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 154395, member: 2610"] [COLOR=black]With the grace of the Guru,[/COLOR] And here the word "eliminate" is used. Binseo - Vinash - Destruction/ Elimination. (Many more verses; search "eliminate" on srigranth.org.) So what is going on here?! Come out of the language trap. Wrestling, eliminating, imprisoning, controlling, subdueing etc are all pointing towards something else. When I was younger, my father used to say "aim for 100% marks and you shall obtain 90%" (he actually used to say 120% and get 100%) My response to this was, "Dad it is impossible to get 100% (120%) so why would I even go for it? I should just go for a high mark, 90%, and then reach that goal of 90%" Now both father and son know that 100% (120%) is not realistically possible (it is in certain cases and theoretically but anyway). And both father and son know that a really intense effort is required to get high marks. The father is trying to arouse intensity in his son to get that 'A', and the son is trying to be realistic with his goals. If the son resists his father's suggestion, he falls. If the father holds expectations, he falls. We are the sons of our Father here. (meditate) . . . Getting rid of the ego is like becoming a master in a craft e.g. art, music, poetry. Not everyone can become a master at it. And those who [B]do[/B] master it, can still improve further. Even though they can still improve, we call them masters or Gurus (masters of morality). They represent perfection, mastery in their fields. If you believe they are flawed (imperfect), you will not be able to learn from them as much. Notice Guru Amar Das ji's use of the word "Gur Pura", Pura - complete, Complete Guru, Perfect Guru. [COLOR=black]In other places, the same Gurus will say how imperfect they actually are.[/COLOR] Holding the father/son viewpoint together is like walking a tight rope. Knowing you cannot achieve perfection you must strive to acheive it. With this intensity, mastery (liberation) is obtained. Understand this point. You must strive for perfection even if you believe no such thing exists. (meditate) . . See if you can begin to see the value of all views that are presented here. In my opinion, everyone here is quite wise. So accept each other's wisdom. We all go into a pattern of replying to each other immediately without any contemplation. Contemplate on each post and shabad at least for a few days, longer if possible, they come from wise sources. Then reply. . . . I will leave you all with this shabad.
