APATHY
As Sikhs we have become very lazy! We are lacking interest and enthusiasm.
The Sikh of the Guru, should rise early and purify their mind through the blessed mantra of Guru Sahib Jis Naam. Then they should read Gurbaani (Gurus teachings) and then go on to meditate throughout the day.
Let's question ourselves. Is this who we are? Do we live this life style? What causes us not to live this way? Guru Sahib has made it clear, the one who lives in this way will be the one Guru Ji blesses and liberates.
It's so easy to lose focus and stray from the path. It's so easy to lose enthusiasm and lack interest. There's only one substance in which will keep us steadfast on this path and that is the Naam meditation of Gods name (Vaheguroo).
When one emerges in to the Naam through single minded concentration and it begins to resound within their mind 24/7, this is when one begins to realise the true wealth of Sikhi. Up until then, we are more balanced than most individuals but still remain on highs and lows, as the minds thoughts are not always controlled through Naam.
We should all do ardaas in front of Guru Sahib Ji, to bless us with this blessed state of Sehj (intuitive peace, poise and tranquility. The mind is stilled, emotions are controlled. The mind is not affected by any negativity. Totally at peace with its self. One has realised the true being which is the inner self.
For the one who has conquered his mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be his greatest enemy.
Guru Amardas Ji Says, "eae man aalas kiaa karehi guramukh naam dhhiaae, har bhagath har kaa piaar hai jae guramukh karae beechaar ||
O mind, why are you so lazy? Become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Naam.
Devotion to the Lord is love for the Lord. The Gurmukh reflects deeply and contemplates."
Vaheguroo!
