In this
today’s world of religious fights and politics, does anyone care about the ‘Truth’
and ‘Truthful Living’? People love to talk about the comments one has made and
creating news relating it with the religion. The Media, Entertainment industry
and Politics all are co-related with each other in such a way that it has become
difficult for a common person to reach the ‘Truth’. Where we going and what are
we spreading through social media? Do we really care for the religion of which
we belong to and our country? It is not only about your or mine religion or
about a country. It is about what we want to be and what we give to each other.
Today is
the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. His teachings were straightforward and simple.
He firmly believed that the word ‘I’ or the ego was responsible for all our problems.
He needed people to know that ‘Truth’ was all important, but ‘Truthful Living’ was
even more essential. On the Guru Nanak Jayanti
I would like to spread few messages of Guru Nanak.
“As far as God is concerned there is no
difference. God is also neither only Hindu nor only Muslim. His blessing
extends to all those who live a life of COMPASSION,
TRUTH and PIETY regardless of faith, religion or creed. He is the Creator,
and is hence common to all.”
"To
enable us to experience oneness we have to place RIGHT LIVING and RIGHT DEEDS above bookish creeds and religious
rituals."
“Rich or
poor, high caste or low, the bread earned by an HONEST living is superior. God blesses those who live a life of
hard work and piety regardless of birth. All are equal in his eyes.”
"I
belong to no sect and adore but ONE God.
I see him in the earth below and in the heavens above and in all
directions."
“Victory
and defeat come from God. Do not forget that he who is victorious today may
suffer the fate of the defeated tomorrow if he fails to glorify God. They who
ruled yesterday, where are they today? ...DO
NOT SOW THE SEED OF CRUELTY. He who is cruel himself suffers cruelty.”
"MY
CASTE is that of wood and fire and I came from a town from where come both day and night."
“Saint or sinner, rich or poor, everyone has his own place on God’s earth. INNER QUALITIES WORK WELL than outer in
the quest for God. Suffering and Happiness have to be experience by every
person born. How much or how little is dependent on his actions.”
"SELFISH EGO IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF SIN AND SUFFERING
and the remedy lies in renouncing self with humble service, sharing proceeds of
efforts and sustaining self-effacing love for God."
“SUPERSTITION
and BLIND FAITH is impediments to one’s growth
as a good human being.”
“BELIEVE IN GOD and there is no need to be
afraid. No black magic and witchcraft can affect you if you believe in the
power of God. Also, do not succumb to unnecessary temptations.”
“Ik Onkar Satinaamu, Karta purkhu, Nirbhau,
Nirvairu, Akal murati, Ajuni Saibhan Gur prasadi. Aadi sach jugadi sach, hai
bhi sach Nanak hosi bhi sach.”
Meaning: GOD IS ONE, HIS NAME IS TRUTH. He is
the Supreme Creator of the Universe; he is sprit of the life. He is fearlessness,
he is grudgeless. He is omnipresent; he is free from bondage of birth. He is self
enlightening through the grace of the true Guru. Chant and meditate upon his
name, because he is true from the time begin, he has been true since the ages,
he is still true and ‘Guru Nanak’
says he will be True FOREVER.
‘Ik Onkar’ is the Mool Mantra (basic chanting) of Guru
Granth Sahib. This chanting narrates the UNIQUENESS of God. The Guru Granth Sahib is treated like a
living Guru. The Guru Granth Sahib contains compositions of the first five Gurus and
the ninth Guru of Sikhism and sixteen Hindu and Muslim saints along with a few
other poets like Mardana. Anyone regardless of caste or creed could and can
still go and read from it.
I’m not a Sikh
and don’t know much about Sikhism but yes I
strongly do believe that GOD IS ONE. Is it so difficult to consider the
other person a HUMAN instead of a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu or a Sikh? ... ad
