Reap What You Sow


Recommended Posts

This Shabad is by Guru Raam Daas Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 302 of SGGS ji:

slok mÚ 4 ]

salok ma 4 ||

Shalok, Fourth Mehl:

siqguru DrqI Drm hY iqsu ivic jyhw ko bIjy qyhw Plu pwey ]

sathigur dhharathee dhharam hai this vich jaehaa ko beejae thaehaa fal paaeae ||

The True Guru is the field of Dharma; as one plants the seeds there, so are the fruits obtained.

gurisKI AMimRqu bIijAw iqn AMimRq Plu hir pwey ]

gurasikhee a(n)mrith beejiaa thin a(n)mrith fal har paaeae ||

The GurSikhs plant ambrosial nectar, and obtain the Lord as their ambrosial fruit.

Enw hliq pliq muK aujly Eie hir drgh scI pYnwey ]

ounaa halath palath mukh oujalae oue har dharageh sachee painaaeae ||

Their faces are radiant in this world and the next; in the Court of the Lord, they are robed with honor.

iekn@w AMdir Kotu inq Kotu kmwvih Ehu jyhw bIjy qyhw Plu Kwey ]

eikanhaa a(n)dhar khott nith khott kamaavehi ouhu jaehaa beejae thaehaa fal khaaeae ||

Some have cruelty in their hearts - they constantly act in cruelty; as they plant, so are the fruits which they eat.

jw siqguru srwPu ndir kir dyKY suAwvgIr siB auGiV Awey ]

jaa sathigur saraaf nadhar kar dhaekhai suaavageer sabh ougharr aaeae ||

When the True Guru, the Tester, observes with His Glance, the selfish ones are all exposed.

Eie jyhw icqvih inq qyhw pwiein Eie qyho jyhy diX vjwey ]

oue jaehaa chithavehi nith thaehaa paaein oue thaeho jaehae dhay vajaaeae ||

As one thinks, so does he receive, and so does the Lord make him known.

nwnk duhI isrI Ksmu Awpy vrqY inq kir kir dyKY clq sbwey ]1]

naanak dhuhee siree khasam aapae varathai nith kar kar dhaekhai chalath sabaaeae ||1||

O Nanak, the Lord and Master is pervading at both ends; He continually acts, and beholds His own play. ||1||

Amazing shabad.

I think to get rid of selfishness you could try doing seva in the langar in the Gurdwara, it will make you start feeling humble and wanting to serve others more (so you will be wanting to do more for others- therefore you will becoming less selfish).

excellent suggestion... brings story to mind of when Guru Gobind Singh ji requested a boy (from a rich family background) to bring him some langar... when langar was brought to Guru ji, Guru ji asked the boy if he had actually ever washed the jooteh pandeh, or did any similar seva....... the boy replied with no due to being from a rich background...Maharaj then refused to eat the langar until the boy had taken part in such seva.

this enforces the how Sikhs should be.. in humility and practice equality

by doing seva like this hankar is lost, and you are brought back to the lowest of all as all sikhs minds should be....

just to add onto what ultimate papi ji said....the seva was held primary to simran as only when all your hankar is lost then you can go do simran and bani ucharan.......

b/c otherwise one gets full of hankar "look how much bani i do"...as there is no humility present.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
