jo tho praem khaelan kaa chaao ||

If you desire to play this game of love with Me,

sir dhhar thalee galee maeree aao ||

then step onto My Path with your head in hand.

eith maarag pair dhhareejai ||

When you place your feet on this Path,

sir dheejai kaan n keejai ||20||

give Me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion. ||20|

We live in a world where we are judged at, teased at and harmed by others but we as gursikhs have to rise above that. We have to rise above this pain, we have to rise above this influence, we have to rise above this world and remain dead to it; where pain is seen as pleasure. Where influence from others does not corrupt us; where we always please God and not any other.

Our love has to be projected towards God, where pain is seen as a blessing from God as this suffering is seen as a medicine; a cure in life. Where fashion and possessions does not influence us as everything deterring from God is seen to be nonsense. This is all just a materialistic world; a fantasy, a dream, a game. This is a test to see if we would follow Guru Ji’s footsteps and never pay attention to public opinion. A test which will leave trails of suffering in the world but virtuous gifts in the hereafter or instead live in this dream and realise the happiness was just a figment of our imagination and experience torment in the hereafter.

Sikhs always tend to get judged on, by their keski, clothes or appearance from manmukhs. They do what ever they can to please them but not even realising the disappointment given to God. If one has taken amrit and soon turns their back to Guru Ji, they have surely not even realised the commitment, the burden they have put upon themselves when they gave their head to Guru Ji. Once you choose a path, there is no turning back. Just how a train goes to its destination, if it follows a particular track, it will not stop until it reaches the end.

If we give up our keski, wear fashionable clothes, jewellery or remove hair, in which Gods light abides just to impress others; we are living as a slave to Manmukhs. We have drawn ourselves completely into this dream. We have become detached from God; we have been forgotten in Saach Khand but we have satisfied the manmukhs. Everyone living in this world does not depart with us. There is no true friend, family or sibling; they will all soon turn their back on us. This is when the realisation of the departure we had of God comes to understanding.

We have to remain strong in this world, so never let the five demons steal away that life of a Sikh. This is a hellish world but this will only come to understanding if we rise above it and have distinction from everyone. We will see there is no difference from hell and earth as we are not playing with the delusional pleasures in this world. We have to remain dead to this world. We have to see the truth and to never get influenced by faulty. We may keep the appearance of a Sikh but the inside may be full of filth. They will no longer be compatible with each other and the weakest will fall out of place. If your Naam is prevailing it can combat the 5 evils. If your false mind is dominant you will fall into the hellish, horrific, horrendous world.

We should fear God 24/7, and all suffering will be seen as the will of God and therefore it shall be accepted by us. At the end and even now Naam will be there to help us, save us, and there to transform us into a Khalsa. We have to Jap Naam at all times. In this way our mind can no longer waver, no confusion can take place. We will never be blinded from a veil covering the true existence in this world.

Remember the true meaning of what Guru Ji has given us, do not give it up for a mere shell because we always reap the fruits we sow. We don’t live here for a long time, this life would pass by as a dream. What use would those possessions be then? They would be left behind but the only thing which can stay with us is the gift of Naam. This is the most precious gift anyone can receive and one is a fool if they give it up to impress others. Who do we rather be; a lion or a sheep; where each sheep follows each other, following the same path leading to agony in the end or a lion; fearless, and follows the laws of nature, thus following the laws of our Guru Sahib Ji.

If you want to play this game of love, rise above this world and remain dead to it. Never pay attention to public opinion

Just to add on, as Guruka Singh ji said amazingly..."A Sikh lives free of another's opinion or judgement...lives in his/her own sovereign identity...lives as a free man/woman" :wub:
