Maya

[Guest Guest]

Nowadays i hear people say we have a job, a house, family and a car. That's all we need we are happy. But Guru Jee says still we can't be happy with all those comforts and luxuries. I hear people say what is need of doing Paatth our mind is clean.

But i think it still is MAYA but it has taken on a even better form to decieve people away from Waheguru.

When you tell some one to do Paatth or Simran they laugh at you. I even noticed this in Punjab, where they keep you calling you GYANI SAAB or SINGH SAAB (even Baba jee).

And yet people in this MAYA people still are argueing and fighting, and doing the same mistakes. Do we stand now helpless in this modern world against KALJUG. Because people don't need each others support and help anymore they have become more selfish.

When you tell them something about the truth they ignore you and then you see them argueing on the mobile.

Cursed is the body, cursed is the wealth, and cursed is this Maya; cursed, cursed is the clever intellect and understanding.

The Dark Age of Kali Yuga is the bottle of wine; Maya is the sweet wine, and the intoxicated mind continues to drink it in.

Salok, First Mehla:

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, people have faces like dogs; they eat rotting carcasses for food.

They bark and speak, telling only lies; all thought of righteousness has left them.

Those who have no honor while alive, will have an evil reputation after they die.

Whatever is predestined, happens, O Nanak; whatever the Creator does, comes to pass. ||1||
