Maya


Recommended Posts

We should live dead to Maya by remaining detached and uninterested in her. Consider the material and worldly things as temporal and destructible. Give up those activities that are not part of our worldly duty and spiritual duty and not to support irreligious activities. We should always follow the religious path and not to put our desires, pleasures and evil mindedness before it.

Here is a clarification in Gurbani. Its states that the fortunate mortals who abandon attachment for worldliness and yearn for love-divine are saved from hell in the hereafter by Grace of Satguru.”

Quoted by Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji

drs ipAws myrw mnu moihE kwFI nrk qy DUh ]1]

dharas piaas maeraa man mohiou kaadtee narak thae dhhooh 1

My mind is enticed, thirsty for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. He has lifted me up and out of hell. 1

It has been made crystal clear that only those true devotees who abandons their love for the world and instead shows love and hope for God are SAVED FROM HELL. Only those that are thirsty for God are lifted up from hell.

Even so, if they have not embraced love for the Supreme Lord God, then they shall surely go to hell. 5

• Stay away from dramas, cinemas, songs, dancing, clubs, etc In Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s words; pleasure giving performances are bad deeds. God fearing people are ashamed of such acts. Quoted by Sant Narajan Singh Ji.REHAT

Those who listen to dirty lyrics and lustful tunes with attention, listen Nand Lal Jee, they will be punished by the angel of death.;

O my fascinating Lord, may I never listen to the faithless cynic, singing his songs and tunes, and chanting his useless words. 1Pause

Other than Naam-devotion, all other activity is egotistic, guided by egoism, such activity is conductive to punishment through yamas. Guru Sahib reveals the truth that godly devotees remain in a spirit of detachment from all worldly activity”.

Quoted by Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji

This shows that if someone who doesn’t have true naam devotion and engage in other activities are all done through ego. It shows that they are more involved in worldly activities than spiritual activities. Only those that have truly devoted themselves in Naam are recognized true devotees.• The essence of wisdom is to eat less, talk less, and sleep less.

Kwq pIvq hsq sovq AauD ibqI Aswr ]

khaath peevath hasath sovath aoudhh bithee asaar

Eating, drinking, laughing and sleeping, life passes uselessly.

It is vital to live a life of humility by being the dust of everyone’s feet, to live a humble and simple life by giving up ego. We have to show love amongst everyone, no matter how much they hurt or show cruelty to us. However, love has to come within our family first. There is a say; “Charity begins at home”. Meaning: we have to be generous and affectionate to our family FIRST and then outside. When we give up our ego and become completely humble we shall attain union with God. To Get to Saach Khand we need SEVA, SIMRAN, and HUMILITY.

Sri Guru Nanak Sahib gave us two gifts which are NAAM and HUMILTY. Without these we cannot attain union with God.

For instance, to find sugar (the essence of naam) an elephant cannot find it but if we become the lowest of all just as an ant, we will find sugar. Guru Ji says that the door of salvation is as small as a black mustard seed. The mind has become likened to an elephant (ego). How can an elephant pass through such a minuet door?Bwau Bgiq kir nIcu sdwey ] qau nwnk moKMqru pwey ]2]

bhaao bhagath kar neech sadhaaeae tho naanak mokha(n)thar paaeae 2

With loving devotional worship, abiding in humility, O Nanak, salvation is attained. 2
