    A seed stored in a drawer will never produce.

    The seed has to be sown into the soil, then watered and tended to.

    Spiritually speaking, we have to sow a seed before we can reap a harvest.

    Sow seeds of peace and love

    and reap a harvest

    of righteousness and blessing!

    If someone is a great saint, and japs a lot, are they good, through their own doing? Then, why blame, another or someone, for something, if GOd guides all?

    That is not correct.

    God guides you, if you take His shelter and hold His hand, so to say.

    Otherwise it is nothing but guided ignorance, or dictates from the mind, which mostly follow,  and these are known as manmukhs.

    Gurbani is there, thus His guidance is there, but now ask yourself: how many do they follow it implicitly? 

    Call it ignorance or manmukhta,  it is the same thing.

    The Light of Gurbani is there, but we prefer not to look towards the light,  howsoever we by words may try to show the contrary.

    I personally found this chapter from a book I was reading very inspiring. Thought I'd share the contents with the sangat. Hopefully someone else will also gain something worthwhile from it.

    (Address delivered on 15-10-1995 by Dr. Swami Ved Bharti)

    Source : Discourses on the Beyond 4

    What can I give after my guide & master (Sant Waryam Singh Ji) has spoken? I have been hearing those matters which he has raised for the last 25 years. For how many times I have to remember them again and again to see those ideas in my mind. Every time one hears him, one discovers something new. This is the one secret in the saying of the saints. Some who hear that spiritual talk but hear not, some who see that, but see not. There are a few lucky persons, who listen to a few words, and get riddance. Anyone who has the power to utter a few words as will enable one to cross the ocean of the world is called the True Guru or the Saint. Here is a meeting of saints and of the religious minded people. It is a matter of joy that in this congregation, anyone who shuts his external eyes, is enabled to open his internal eyes. He sees Arti (waving the light before God in the act of worship), which consists of lakhs of suns, moons and the stars. They are waving the light before Akal Purukh (Timeless God), consisting of all the lights that are in the world, like garlands of pearls, like the light of the lamp. One sound echoes through the entire universe: Ek Onkar, Ek Onkar, Ek Onkar – there is only One God there is no other; no other existence was there in the past or will be in the future. Just as a child is reared within the womb of the mother, similarly all the suns, the moons and stars , all the beings, all the souls lie inside that One God, reared by His food, - they are all growing (like the child in the womb). This greatness is not of the body; it is His Supreme Spiritual expanse.

    It is a matter of great joy to remind oneself that the great saint has organised this Samagam. It is a matter of great happiness that those whose minds were besmeared with mud have washed that mud of their mind by coming here. It is a matter of great satisfaction that all the minds that are in the world would slowly and gradually henceforth emit some perfume after coming here. Think of it, my brothers and my mothers, whenever we go to the bazaar, in the fragrance of all those thoughts that come out of our minds and touching other persons. Hence convert your mind and your inner consciousness into a garden of flowers. Each thought of yours should be sweet-smelling like flowers. Or each thought should shine like a lighted lamp, so that not a trace of darkness will remain there. One the light should spread. The other name of this Light is God. Some rare person (prophet or saint) is born in this universe, who shows to the world the path to reach God, Who is Light. He shows them the Way. He catches us by the hand and directs us to move in that side. We try to free our hand (from that Sant’s grasp) pleading – I have got this work; I have got that work. He (the Sant) asserts – walk on; all your work will be done (by God). He gives us that blessing, but we do not accept that blessing (benediction). Then we revert to those worldly affairs and get engrossed in them. Different desires, different ambitions so influence our minds that we forget all about the Light that is God. Anyone who has washed off the mud that besmeared their body, who has washed the mud with clean water of peace – and who repeatedly sits performing the jaap, then he somewhat rises high. He sits on low stool and thinks that he has arrived at his goal. He feels a sense of pride. After feeling pride, he does not advance forward, he keeps sitting there. If we want to progress sitting on a low stool, we should think that a bed is higher than a stool, and a throne is highest of them all. One sitting on the bed tells the persons sitting on the low stool – why are you sitting that low; come up to the height of my bed. He says, I am quite satisfied with my low sitting. Slowly he degenerates. Sometime he tumbles over from his low stool and once again falls into that mud and is besmeared with it. His rises and falls again. Thus by degrees, he reaches the height of the bed. Then by chance, some saint or sage passes that way and see that this man has not achieved his destination; how shall I show him his goal? The saint, with great difficulties, with great love, makes him understand the true welfare, on account of the great pity that rises in the saint’s mind. He lifts the person, who was shedding tears, feeling miserable and uplifts him and puts him on that throne, which is named the Akal Takhat (Throne of God). When one is raised to that high state, there death cannot touch him, cannot come near him. People raise different questions (about this path), different religions and faiths provide different answers (to those spiritual questions).

    My co-fellows, I tell you a special thing. He who has realised the truth (God) speaks not. He who has not achieved God indulges in loud talk about Him – God is of this sort. He is of this kind. No, no, your statement is all wrong. Even I know more than you do. Thus in our pride, we seek to foist our fundamentals and thoughts on other people. He who treads the path of real sainthood, keeps mum. In silence, he leaves different sort of things (ideologies), he forsakes them, and entering into the caves of his mind, he practises meditation. I make this (humble) request to you that you enter into this cave (of the mind) and practise Mediation. Now a days, in the Himalayas, which were once full of caves, there have risen bus stands. There is much sound. There is a spot where the external sounds cannot enter; that place is inside you. Enter there. There are many ways of entry inside, which are shown by the saints and ascetics. For reaching there, there is no need of mutual debates. Adopt that path, which your true Guru has shown you. Keep advancing on that path, keep advancing. One day, you would reach your destination. You must tread that path (of godliness). That is our goal. To reach that goal, to do there, we cannot go all alone. For that, you need the leadership of all the saints and gurus who will hold you by the hand and take you on the right path, saying come this way. Inside these saints, a river of light flows, a spring of light flows, in fact there inside them the ocean of Light (of God) roaring with its sound. That light has no beginning; there is no end of it. No one can measure the depth; no one can measure the height of those godmen, who have become one with the Light. Those saints says, “where I have reached, you can too can arrive”, “How can I reach there?” “In the same manner, by which I have reached there” All the brethren who are sitting here, all the congregation, all my mothers, all of you – each one of you can scale that height. Today I plainly tell you – you must have a keen desire to rise (to those spiritual heights). You must awaken in you the desire that ‘I have to reach there. I must arrive there’ in this world, I am suffering and groaning. I am falling from one side to the other; wherever I go, I slip and fall. I must leave this path of hurdles. I must go on that path, which is clear as the sky. No one can know the speed of the flying birds. When you and I march on this path, we leave behind our footprints. These footprints fall on the ground. But there are no footprints left by the birds flying in the sky. The fish swimming in the sea leave no mark behind. It is the path, where there are no footprints, only the Light is there.

    Awaken in you a strong desire. The desire is already present there. Otherwise why should you have come here? The desire is there, but awaken it more keenly. We must reach that state, where the saints and sages have reached. If you awaken your desire with that intensity, you are sure to reach there. Then the mother would say, as in the case of Saint Kabir, Kabir has gone mad. But Kabir (a great saint and a poet many of whose sayings are included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib) says, now I have seen the wrap and woof of reality. Similarly when you tread this path, it is possible that one day you may sit in the valley of the river; for three days you don’t open your eyes there should be no need for breathing; all the life’s processes come to a stop and the Light within you may create such an atmosphere all round you, that you may be left with no desire in your mind to leave that Vale of the river. When you reach that height, then the whole world would become your field. When you reach that height, you will remember, you will see that wild folk of the jungle would bring fruits and place them before you. My Gurudev (Sant Waryam Singh Ji) was telling you that in the jungle bears followed him like the domestic dog. Don’t you have a desire to become like this? Is not such a strong desire present inside you? These separate desires, which are present today, did not exist yesterday. People say, God does not listen to me. He does not respond to my prayers. I beg (things) from Him but I get nothing. What should God do? Today you ask for one thing, tomorrow for another thing. Yet on another day, you say, no I don’t want these things. I want a third thing, which request of yours should God hear?

    I tell you a story of a person, who was so God-realised that he had developed so much power that he could cause rain to order. He had two daughters : one had been married to a potter and the second to the farmer, who ploughed the land. The farmer had sown the seed. He told his wife, go and tell your father to send rain here, as we have sown the seed. The potter had made the pitchers and kept them out to dry. He told his wife, go to your father and tell him not to send rain now at all (so that his pitchers would dry to hardness). Such are our prayers; sometimes we wish for rain, sometimes we want to avoid rain. Sometimes the same wife looks very beautiful, sometime we are fed up with her and turn her out. Sometime a wife loves her husband; and another time she feels like abusing him. This is not the way to make a prayer. How would God answer your prayer, amidst your contradictory wishes? Make up your mind as to what exactly the thing that you want. Consider well and decide and then pray for that. Do it every day, do it every moment, do it all times. Those whose prayers have been heard were the persons, who made up their mind who exactly they wanted. Then keep on pursuing that desire. Yes sir, we will pursue it. We wish that your daughter should be married or that we should earn a profit of 1 lakh rupees. To pursue a thing half heartedly is not the way. Death will come and take us away. We don’t know at what uncertain hour death would catch hold of us and carry us off. We cannot say. Therefore get going today itself; get going now. We have only one desire- a big one not many petty desires. God is greater than the whole universe. Many universes lie packed inside of Him. Yet he goes on fulfilling even small wishes of people (despite his greatness). Your desire should be so great to match his Greatness. Do you go to the Emperor and beg him of a penny? Will you ask for such petty blessings from the saints of God? He has heaps of diamonds and jewels. Will you beg from him such little petty things?

    Hence you should definitely decide which is the goal you want to reach, before you leave this meeting. Go home after awakening your mind to rise high and become great spiritually. If you have to earn money, say, we will earn money so our small needs should be fulfilled and we should be able to pay back our debt to our creditors. After that, close the external eyes and open the inner eyes (of the mind). Put out the external lights and light the inner lights. Love the diamonds and jewels that are inside, throw away the pennies of the outer world and enjoy the bliss of the spiritual diamonds and jewels that are inside you. Thus you make up your mind, you should decide your spiritual programme once for all. If today your mind will not be engrossed in jaap, tomorrow things will be a little better. You will forget the sense of time; you will remember your programme of prayer. Half an hour will pass in this – you will not feel, where time has flown. Because at that time, the Akal Purukh (timeless God) will come and take his seat in your heart. He is Timeless; so there is no limit to Time to Him. But people don’t practise jaap. Rather they (indulge in idle talk and) ask the saint, where does the soul go after death? This is no question; I tell you that it is no question – you yourself find out its answer. Enter within and see, what is the form of the soul. Will the soul die, when the body dies? (No), there is no question of the death (of the soul). The soul never dies. There is no question of after death (when death itself is not a reality for the soul). You ask, what happens after death? That is future tense. The soul has no past, no present and no future (it is ever lasting). There is no meaning of what you have said about what happens after death of the soul. (The soul never dies at all). Why do you speak like this? Firstly the soul never dies; secondly it is not limited by time. (where the soul goes?) It means that it goes to some world to some place. You have not at all understood the meaning of the soul. The soul is never bound in the limits of some place. This is not some small thing that is present here, but not present there. So the question does not arise where it will go. When it (soul) is bound neither by time, nor by place, then where arises the question at what place it will go. To all these questions, there is one common answer, which is inside of you. There leaving all questions, listen to that. When he closes his eyes and enters inside and takes his seat on the throne of his heart, then no question arises in him. All the answers are obtained automatically. Also those answers are given not in the words, not in the phrases. There is a sort of silence, a sort of mental peace; all answers are available there. Go there and see and you will know. But the whole matter is that living the world and engaged in various activities, you have to do this work (of remembering God). When your baby is born, do you ever forget him? You may be busy in any work, you may be ploughing your farm, you may be going to your avocation, you may be supervising the running of the shop – but you always remember your new born baby.

    Here is a mother, she is preparing food; she is peeling the potatoes; she is attending to all other jobs in the kitchen. Her two month baby is lying in another room. Does she ever say that she has forgotten the child, in the midst of her activities? This is the sign of love. In the same manner, if you can’t look upon God as a Father or as a Mother; if you can’t love God like the Gurus, then consider God as you small child and start rocking him in the cradle of your heart. He will rock with each beating of the heart. You will feel a strong intoxication inside. That intoxication would rid you of all anxieties and shrieks of the world. It will raise you higher and take you to the high state, where the soul of the sages and saints merging with all the lights that there are in the universe, waves the arti (passing light before God) of God. Thus you will rise very high. That is possible in this very life, it can happen even today. This can be possible, if you concentrate your mind on this.

    Thus whatever sages and saints there are, whoever the Gurus are, they are not bound in their bodily self. They reach the heights where there is neither time nor place. There is no tomorrow, nor today, not the past year, nor even the coming year. Perfect silence pervades there; there are rows of light. They merge there and experience such bliss. They wish to bring a drop of their bliss to those people of the world, who are groaning in miseries. These prophets & saints leave that divine state of bliss and are commissioned in the physical world. What can be greater sacrifice than this? They are born as human beings. They come to the world, because persons who live in the physical world cannot hear their voice (message) from the other world. Their ears can hear only sounds from the bodily beings. If child falls into the mud, you have to step into the mud to lift that child, even though our own clothes may get smeared with mud in doing so. That does not matter. We wash that child with love, lift him in our lap and caress him. Those prophets wash the mud of the people, with the water of Naam. They bring them pure atmosphere. They do not allow fresh mud to stick to them. When they find that no mud is left, the feel happy, as the mother feels happy to see her child cleaned of all mud, shinning and pure. Thus they come to this world for one year, two years, twenty years, so long as they feel that the world needs them, they wonder in the world. Some people understand them, others do not. People may put round their neck garland of shoes, or some may shower flowers on them, some may bring pennies, other may bring offerings of diamonds, some may offer to them chains of pearls, all this the same to them – no difference. Some may condemn them, some may sing their praises, they have no concern with that. They may be roasted on the burning plate or they may be boiled in the burning water, it is all the same to them. They have realised that they are not body, they are the pure Light, they are soul. That soul cannot be parched by anyone, nor can it be made wet with water, nor can anyone roast it. When they realise that their mission has been completed, they throw away their body, as one discards ones old clothes. They once get merged with the Eternal Light (that is God). They had taken this birth, for our sake.

    Birth above birth and death are the philanthropic persons who come to do good to others.

    They give the gift of spiritual life, apply men to divine devotion and make men meet with God.

    (Bani – 749)

    Look to us. As soon as their back is turned, we revert to the same old sinful habits. As soon as they depart, we get entangled in the groaning and fears of the world. What we do is that once again we become slaves of the five sense organs. These five sense organs create a bally hoo in the lanes of the village. So I say unto you – Pacify your sense organs. But how to pacify the sense organs? There is one secret of that. When the mind becomes tranquil, and is engrossed in prayer, then that desire that arise in the sense organs themselves quieten down. But for that you need – love, love for that Guru who is the Guru of all Gurus, love for Him Who dwells in the hearts of all saints, love for Him, by whose power the sun, the moon and the stars shine. We should live in the love and fear of God. God says, there is no need to fear. Practise love. There are two paths to the love of God. One is to love all these creatures who are creations of God. You should present double the amount of love to him, who is without love, so that your love may seep into his personality. Your love will fill the pitcher (with love) of that person, who is empty of love. This is one way. The other way is – to love him directly. Produce in your heart a sort of tide of love and a sort of strong emotion of love, for him. Repeatedly remember his good points and make offering of you love to him.

    There was a saint. One day, he passed through the market, carrying a bucket of water in one hand and a burning torch in the other.

    Sant Ji, where are you going? Where are you carrying a bucket of water in one hand and in the other a burning torch in this broad daylight. Sant Ji says, today I am going to set heaven on fire, I will burn the paradise and reduce it to ashes. I am going to throw water on the flame of hell and would extinguish it. He said very angrily. I am feeling so much anger over this heaven and hell, this paradise and over the perdition.

    Why are you feeling so angry over heaven and hell, Sant Ji? What harm have they done to you? What has heaven done to you? As for the hell you have nothing to do with it.

    The Sant replied, people remember God to be able to achieve heaven. They remember God, in fear of hell lest they should find them there. This is not method to remember God. You should remember God, for the sake of love for Him, (not goto heaven and escape hell). So today I am going to set fire to heaven; I have also to extinguish hell. I want to finish them; so that people may forget heaven and hell and pray to God, only for the love of God. People should leave the thought of heaven and hell and remember God, because they are all love for God.

    You should please give a little thought to this matter. Make your mind full of tranquillity; and forget the world. Enter inside of you and find out whether love of God arises there or not. See with that love. God, the Akal Purukh has given you this breath – a great blessing. God has given you breath, so that does not operate alone (you should remember God, with each breath). Weave God’s name with those breathings. As wish arise in your heart and feelings arise in your heart, similarly the breath rises in your heart. Fill love (for God) in each and every breath. With that love, remember the Name of God (do his Jaap). Remember God’s Name as you exhale the breath, also remember His Name, while inhaling the breath. While doing so, don’t utter (the Name) orally. When you reach that state, it is all peace there, the great silence. In that there is only the Divine Light. With that love, fill the Name, the outgoing breath that is rising in the heart. When exhaling, fill your mind with that love of Beloved of yours; also while inhaling, remember the Name of that Beloved (God). When the breath comes out, at once mould your consciousness in your mind; also when there is in-breathing, concentrate your consciousness in your mind. This chain should never break. If this chain is broken then the external thoughts would enter inside you and create disturbance. You have to swim with this current of union of the mind and consciousness. Experience that state and keep on experiencing it. Remember the Name with each breath. When one course of the Name is finished, immediately begin the second course. This chain should never be broken.

    Thus whenever you are standing, wherever you are sitting, remember the Name of God non-stop. People listen to the radio, they watch the TV, they spend their time in idle talk or on abusing others; or may sing others praises. You just keep hold of your breath, hold the rope of breathing in your hand and thinking God’s thoughts, you should rise higher and higher. Reach the height of consciousness and rest only there. Do all this with the love of God, never do any act without that love. Don’t do Japa, because there is so much misery in the world; rather do it, because God loves you. Out of that love, He has given you this world – the whole of the world. He has given you (life-giving) air; He has given you water (the basis of all life); He has given you food; He has given you the sun, the moon and the stars; He has given you trees. You have to produce happiness in this world, in place of the existing misery.

    You have to create love in the hearts of people, who lack this love. Hence O my God! O my Akal Purukh, come and make your lodgings in my heart. Come and sit in my heart! When God sits in your heart, then all the acts that you perform, you will do with love.

    At one place, langar was in progress, just then they ran short of curds. They thought in their mind that this congregation will have to go not fully satisfied. What should we do? An idea struck them that in the village, there lived a woman who owned so may cattle. Why not approach her? From her, we might be able to procure, more curds. They went to her running, not just walking. They went to her running, because they wanted to provide curds to the sangat, devotees.

    Mother, the matter is that we have run short of the curds in the langar. It will be very kind of you if you give us a little of your curds. All right. I certainly possess curds. But I will not give. You have to pay the price for it. Whatever price you name, we are ready to give it. At this time, we have to supplement the langar. Please do give some curds to us. After giving curds, she now demanded its price. “Give me my price.”

    But you have not mentioned the price. What do you want? She knew that this Sikh, this disciple (of the Guru) though seemingly small, has a great power like his Guru. She said, you have to give me the price. Will you give it? They said, we have pledged our words that we would pay it.

    All right, then give it. Give me salvation. This is the price I want. The disciple said, all right. We bestow this price on you.

    This disciple felt very happy. He came there carrying that curds. The congregation ate the langar to their hearts content and then went their way. At that time Guru Ji was taking rest nearby. After sometime, loud sound of weeping and crying was heard. He said, ‘what has happened in the neighbouring house?’ He called the disciple and questioned him about this. What is the matter? Why this weeping and wailing?

    He replied, the matter is like this. We had fallen short of curds and I had gone to gentle woman to get some curds. When we requested the price, she asked for the price and I granted that to her. What price did you give her? She had said, ‘Bless me with salvation’. I gave that to her. Now she has left her fleshly body. She is gone to the spiritual world, the world of Light. Those worldly persons, who regard this physical body as our whole being, they are crying and wailing.

    Guru Ji felt very angry. She did such a great good to you, namely that the whole sangat went away fully satisfied with curds. Could there be greater favour than this? Why did you give her only heaven or salvation? You should have given her gift of God’s love. Heaven or salvation, she would have got any way. You should have blessed her with the love of God.

    The disciple said, what could I do? She had asked for only salvation? The idea is that where there is love, then heaven and salvation will come of themselves. Only try to create love in your heart. I said yesterday too, that for attaining that, there is no need of external lights. Enter inside of you and see that by way of this breathing, the saints, sages and ascetics cross by the way of kuldalni power and see inside a lamp is lighted. Such like divine lamps are burning inside of you, you say that you are lost in darkness. This is as if the light of the lamp should say that there is darkness inside of me. If that idea prevails then surely there is to be darkness in the world. Learn to reach that Light, by entering inward. When you reach there, and if you receive the grace of the Guru, you will in this very life reach that state, where man realises himself to be the soul and super consciousness reaches the final stage and there is no need of any further achievement.

    I repeat once again that you should sit straight, keeping your backbone (spine) absolutely up right. You should experience that God’s Light is present on all sides of yours, that Love (of God) is unshaken inside. That love, which is permeating inside of you. And on all sides you feel there is nothing but the light of God. That love is spread in every fibre of your being, in every part of your body and in every part of the life-consciousness. It is awakening every part of yours. When this awakens you, then you feel another wave rising inside of you. That wave (life force) goes in and goes out, in the shape of your breath. (It moves up and down). Experience this feel of breath in this way. Feel this flowing breath. With the rise and fall of your breath, your mind should go up and down, you should feel the path of the breathing. There should be no <admin-profanity filter activated> in breathing. The chain should never break; it should always remain moving. Synchronise the flow of your consciousness, with the flow of the breath; don’t feel any experience except this. Feel perfect equanimity. If the breathing goes on slowly, without any break, then the mind will automatically enjoy perfect peace. In the path of the breath, there is another cave in the chest; enter inside that cave. That is the true Himalayan cave. You will see all light inside that cave. That light that you feel inside you is the ray of light of God. It is like the light of the lamp, it is like a small mountain of light. Regard this inner light as the Light of Guru Maharaj; the light of the Self. Taking it as the Light of the Guru Maharaj, sit inside the cave on the floor, make an obeisance and start doing jaap. (repeating the Name of God). Dedicate every word of this jaap, every syllable of it to that (divine) Light. Do that with all love. Repeat the jap of Mool Mantar three times, keep sitting at that place, in the sheen of that light in that cave, then go on repeating only Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru. You can keep sitting in the company of Akal Purukh (god) for as long as you like. You can offer Him all the fruits of your jaap, just as one offer flowers to Him. Then get up by slow degrees. Then after making an obeisance, come out of this temple of God (inside you) – with great respect. Then again continue to repeat Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru in the flowing of your breath. When inhaling the breath go on repeating Wahe and when exhaling keep on repeat Guru. The chain should never be broken; it should flow non-stop. Thus always make up your determination to keep your mind at peace and to keep you consciousness in a state of tranquillity. Then after making that determination, you should slowly very slow open your eyes. But that Light of God should stay in the heart, even after opening your eyes. The name of jap of WaheGuru should continue, as you breathe out and breath in. Whenever your mind is disturbed and the whips of the worldly affairs flog you with, you get inside you, go and hide there. God Who loves all the living creatures of the world, will make of you such a hero and place in your hand a Divine sword. With that Divine sword, you would be able to cut all sorts of darkness’s of the world (ignorance and lack of knowledge), and you would be able to make your journey to those spiritual heights. Finally in this very life you will reach your goal – the destination of your life. I give you my word for it.

    I offer prayer for the peace of mind of you one and all..

    So confused,  somr people say Vaheguru writes as it happens,  some people say its preordained,  some people say you have no will, some people say you do.

    Forget about the poor foolish people, who are deluded thmselves, trust only the Sat Bachan from Gurbani.

    Read Gurbani regulary, not like a parrort, but with full attention to each and every  bachan, to what Guru Sahiban tell us through Gurbani, you will be amazed, with the spiritual wealth contained in it. Gurbani is no fairy tale, it is a path to walk on bravely, for the only purpose of realizing and making Him pargat within us.

    It will give you peace and inner strength, no matter then how shaky the world is.

    Thought Vaheguru is the ever flowing pen? Meaning Vaheguru writes everything as it happens?

    No, that is not correct.

    The writings which you mention, are not written by Him, but impressions of our own karmas on our minds, which go along with the soul, due to its association with the mind, thus when the soul departs from this plane, the yam doots or dharam rai, judges you according to your karmas, and then one´s destiny is fashioned accordingly, whatever the result is in any joonee, whether to enjoy their fruits or pay for their sins, by His Grace always, there is some sort of lessons to be learned to get straightened, in order to grow spiritually, and one day be fit to return back to Him, that is unavoidable spiritual evolution, for no soul can ever stay away from Him  in eternity. Souls are His own essence, who need sooner or later to merge back in its source: Him.

    He is always exceddeingly graceful, and does not even look at our faults/sins, but as we are in a plane of karam bhomee, we have to reap what we so.

    The only thing that cuts any sort of sowing and thus stopping from bearing its fruits, it is His bhakti alone.

    Prab ka simran garbh na baseh.

    Prabh ka simran man kee mael jaae.

    Jin Har japeeya, se Har hoeeya.

    Apart from loving Him, we have nothing to do with Him.

    Sat Sree Akal.
