Fear Or Love Or Both

[Balwinder Singh]

Do we need to have fear of God or love for god or both?

Or its first fear and then it develops into love?

Or fear is the starting piont for love to take place?

Or......only love for God...absolutely NO fear.

What do u think?

I dont know how well to answer this questiosn but here goes:

i think we need not fear God , he is our provier and looks after his children ,what we need to remember is death. To keep in mind that we are guests in this world and death is looming over our heads at all times and sooner or later we too will leave this world. A gursikh has fear about what karam he/she's doings , whether in guru ji's eyes they are good or bad.

We need to love God cause he is in all the creation and every person, all prevading. A gursikh fears not, only holds onto love for all, and utmost humility. Yeh i guess you may fear god especially when bad niggling thoughts come into your mind but isnt it better to do vaheguru vaheguru and ask for guru ji's help. On the other hand i guess if we do not fear God at all we cant do good deeds and even recognise his existence.

umm........jus sum thoughts, , this is a very intersting topic and one that sum others can answer more fully.

ATLEAST ONE FORCE IS ALWAYS WATCHING US AND IN FACT WITH US

O Nanak, those whose minds are filled with the Fear of God, have the love of God in their minds as well. ||2||

Fear not in the sense that waheguru will hurt us or kill us or anything like that; fear in the sense that waheguru is constantly watching over us and keeping a record of every thought, deed and misdeed and that we will be asked to explain them in waheguru's dargah (court,, kinda).

Without the Fear of God, there is no devotional worship, and no love for the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Meeting with the True Guru, the Fear of God wells up, and one is embellished with the Fear and the Love of God.
