You have not made me a perfect person but YOU alone are Perfect; He is the All-powerful Cause of causes and this drama belongs to the Lord; He performs it, and He watches over it. The Lord is kind and compassionate to all beings and creatures; His Protecting Hand is over all. He is the Treasure of Excellence, the Lord of the Universe; through the Guru, He acts.
“Where is that Guru thru. Whom you act? You are yourself all in all Oh! Primal being. You reward the Gurmukhs, who are absorbed in the True Name. But Forgive all others as well and let them not be part of yours and absorb them in yourself.”
……………..He Himself is the Highest of the High. HE created us. He enjoys HIS creation and takes pleasure in doing this. He Himself is the Highest of the High. HE gave us all that we have and that we do not have as He Himself is the Giver, the Architect of Destiny.It is for HIM to take care of us even if we have forgotten HIM due to Maya or otherwise and that is also HIS creation. HE gave us senses and ego that is required for leading a normal healthy life.Deep within the self is the Light of God; It radiates throughout the expanse of His creation. But I could not see it and nor could locate it. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad we are required to search this cave of Body. But I failed.
HE gave us camel-like mind. If HE created me it is for HIM to see that I get the best that is required by me under all the circumstances. Why should HE be angry if we do something that is destined as we do everything as per the destiny that has been carved out for us. I am a puppet in HIS hands.The Lord Himself sends out the call, and He summons us to His Presence. And God is not revengeful as it cannot be. We can be foolish at times. But it is also His gift that we become so and we are just playing the way HE wants. He would not have given me anything that was not meant for my benefit. He would also not give me anything that is harmful for us and Why should He do so.? After all He is our father and the Lord of all the creation, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within the hearts of those who see the Lord themselves, and inspire others to see Him as well but I could not see it even after a long try. I do not understand as to what Naam is. They say that within the home of the self is the Eternally Young Beloved but I could not see HIM. He dwells deep within the mind and body. But I could not locate HIM. For How long should I keep on waiting?
HE have me senses so that I can use them. HE created illusion in this world so that we remain lost and as a consequence and we forgot HIM on this count. He is the Architect Of my destiny. If meeting HIM is the aim of this life then we should have been given the means to do it as and when required. The only means available to me is to pray for HIS grace so that my past sins are erased and bad Karmas due not fructify and that I may not have to be re-born to undergo the misery of this phenomenon called ‘Life’ and ‘death’. I really do not know if I should pray for my merger with the super consciousness, as I do not know what will happen in that case. It has been stated in Gurbani that only One in Millions get a chance to meet HIM after fulfilling all the requirements as prescribed. All of us have a life that is full of highs and lows. We will age out and die. Our soul re-appears in some other form. It has continued for a long time that I know of. [8.40 million ] and may go in for quite some time. The Lord Himself leads us to merge with Him and serve Him. I am told that the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within the self but I cannot find it easily as there are many ifs and Buts for this.
The Giver of peace is revealed through the Shabad, meditating upon the Naam, night and day. But I could not know the Shabad. Is it my fault? May be. I have tried as per my intellect that has been bestowed upon me. Let HIM enable me to come out of the present state of affairs. Why should I pray to Him to take me out of this and put me in something that I do not know and even cannot imagine. Let it continue as we will be what we are till He wants. HE will also not harm me if I forget Him for some time as He HIMSELF is responsible for this that happens to us. He should not punish me as well as I have indulged in the sensual pleasures and all that is not considered good as I do not know as to what is to be done with the senses that HE has given me.
We all try to be a good human beings as per the little understanding that we possess. We shall try to be a good Human being and live our lives and let HIM care for us. All that we can do is to be a good human being and good parents and good wives and husbands and lead our life so that it is useful to others as well. We should try to mitigate the others problems to the extent we can. If the Lord grants His Grace, then we come to meet the True Guru. By His Kindness, we are united in His Union. I am told that if we perform Night and day, Lord's devotional service we find intuitive peace. I have not found so and I cannot do this day and night 24 hrs a day. I do not want to think of that I have been doing for quite sometime now. All I need do is to meditate upon you not to get any merger but because it gives me peace and nothing else. I shall stop visiting Gurudwara and spend equivalent time with Government Hospital and serve those whom I can help or visit orphanages .
Does He require us to get merged with HIM? I am told that when it pleases the Lord, He unites us with Himself. The One who created the Universe, He alone knows it. Without You, there is no other for me to seek out. It is only by Guru's Grace that You are found. I have yet to find out the word of Shabad and the Naam. HE is so powerful that HE can do so in a millionth of a second. It is a plain logic. Kindly help and advise as to why should we make prayers. Is HE nor aware of all that we need? Will it not be disregard to HIM that we are begging at HIS door.Why even make prayers and petitions to HIM. Why bother for the life in future that is yet to come. I should bother about my present and do as much good as is possible and leave the rest to HIM. It sounds logical. The choice is between Chanting HIS name all the time or doing some good to others even if it is an illusion and is on account of my attachment to my friends and relatives and well wishers.
I shall realize Him in this fashion as well. What is wrong here? The Lord Himself leads us to merge with Him and serve Him. I Seek the Protection of the Lord of the Universe; His service is truly profitable. But I have no experience like this so far.When it pleases HIM, we are attuned to the Name, and when it pleases HIM, we become pleasing to HIM. Please forgive me Oh Lord! if I stop praying further as you know what I need and that is best for me and that You shall give me the best at the time when it is the best for me and you shall even then remain highest for me. I shall do my morning ‘paath’ of Jap ji Sahib only
Whatever You do, O True Lord - that is what happens, so why should we grieve? ..……..Amen.
