[QUOTE="passingby, post: 163584, member: 13860"] You are of course right Harry ji. There is a tendency to revert back to lower living after the crisis has passed. It happens with me, it happened with you, it happens with every one. I agree completely. And yes to completely and utterly accept Hukam is what Gurbani preaches to us to reach and aspire. That is unquestionably correct. When one surrenders to Hukam one's mind becomes firm and it is then that fear truly vanishes away. I remember a story of a zen monk who was resting in his room when his disciple rushed to him saying, 'Master, master a fire has broken out in the building!'. Master- 'How far is it?'. Disciple-'Just a block away!' Master- 'Okay come to me when it comes near' And the Master went back to rest, completely undisturbed! A while later the disciple comes rushing again: 'Master! the fire has come closer!' Master- 'How far is it now?' Disciple- 'Just half a block away!' Master- 'Okay come to me when comes nearer' And he went back to his rest yet again! A while later the disciple comes rushing again: 'Master! the fire has come even closer!' Master- 'How far is it now?' Disciple- 'Just two houses away!' Master- 'Okay come to me when it comes nearer' And he went back to his rest yet again! Completely undisturbed! Still again a while later the disciple comes rushing: 'Master! the fire is very close!' Master- 'How far is it now?' Disciple- 'Just the next house!' Master- 'Okay bring me my sandals, lets move leave this place.' And the Master leaves the house to safety very calmly and undisturbed. Such is the mental poise of the someone who accepts Hukam. We all have read and heard about such people. But personally I have no hope of attaining any stability or respectable inner strength if I do not fully indulge in a psychologically transforming practice, which in case of Sikh path is NAAM japa. How else can I expect such a strength for myself just from volition? Just yesterday I was reading recorded conversations of Mirra, the Mother of Aurobindo Ashram. She says: This passage was very inspiring, so I thought I'll share. [/QUOTE]
