Now matter how many Shabads Maharaj has left for us we can't stop the old nindak machine from churning out the nindya.

Now matter how many Shabads Maharaj has left for us we can't stop the old nindak machine from churning out the nindya.

True.

Nindiya is opposite of GOD and is a serious dargahi crime.

As maharaj ji mentions even if we do good things but take part in slander, it will lead us to hell and will destroy all those good deeds as well!

Is that slander of a Saint or a slander of anyone?

[The_Perfect_Student]

Slandering of anyone. Slandering of a saint is much worster, if you slander a GOD's saint, even GOD would not save you unless that saint himself forgives you..sukhmani...

Slandering is opposite of GOD, it is our ego that looks for weaknesses in others instead we should try look for other's strengths and compare it with our own weaknesses, this is the only way to become humble. it is our ego that makes us slander, if we just become lowest of the low, treat ourself as dust of everyone feet, consider ourselves as lowly of all, then we are seeing GOD in all. If we are seeing God in all, we wont slander others.
