[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 61767, member: 4990"] "As you think, so you become". What is the good of worshipping God? Maulana Rumi said that "My inner self is so much overflooded with my Master that I have forgotten who I am. I am no more". God is manifested in Him. He is also within us, but is not manifest. With just a little thought of His, He gives us a boost to rise above body consciousness. We are given some capital, something to start with, of seeing and hearing God. Render unto Him all that belongs to Him, And make His Will thine own. In return He showers His blessings manifold, 0 Nanak! He is ever so merciful. He who has Him as his boon companion, He stands in need of naught? Gaudi Mehla 5 Once a certain king intended to go abroad. He inquired of his queens as to what gift each of them would like him to bring for them from the foreign lands. One of them asked for costly jewels, another for rich apparel and still another for cosmetics. Some asked for fineries and others for delicacies, etc. The youngest of them, who loved the king most, requested his early return so that she would not have to languish long in his absence. The king on his return sent the various gifts to his other queens and himself went to the palace of the youngest and was highly pleased that there was someone who loved him the most, much more than his riches and wealth. The queen too thanked God for her good fortune that her husband was with her and that she needed nothing else. The rest of the queens, though each one of them had got what she wanted, had not the good fortune to claim their husband's attention. All their riches and gifts availed them not without their beloved. In exactly the same way we, through shortsightedness, ask from God or Guru for trinkets of no consequence and not Him and His Saving Grace, and like the different queens in the parable, suffer most the pangs of separation. All the riches of the world fail to give the least satisfaction. On the contrary, these things distract us from the Truth and make us more miserable. If we could but win His Grace we would then be in want no more. All His riches come to us automatically, without asking. Even if they are denied for one reason or another, it matters not, for without Him and His love they are dirty trash. All riches and fineries befit him who has won Him, And even without them, what care if he were to live in poverty? Shalok M.5 What may I ask for and repeat unto Thee except That I hunger and thirst for Thy sight; It is through the Word of the Master that one reaches Truth, Nanak, therefore, prays for this alone. Suhi M.1 I have just one submission and listen ye to that, Certainly Thou art great, compassionate, and immaculate? Tilang M.1 [/QUOTE]
