LIVING
"Truth is high, higher still is truthful living."
Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539
Live the truth! The highest state of spirituality is only accessed once so begin to live your own life truthfully.
It's important we are always honest, speak, think and act upon the truth. We will be respected and loved more for this. Whilst speaking the truth, our actions become righteous. We will see God in all and act against any form of oppression, tyranny or falsehood.
The reason a spiritual being does this is, they see God in all and find it difficult to turn their face away from the truth, as this would cause suffering to ones conscience and they would struggle to love God the same after being ignorant.
A great example of the above is, when the ninth Guru of the Sikhs, gave his head to save the Hindu faith from conversion.
Also, another beautiful example is of our master Guru Arjun Dev Ji, who was the first martyr of the Sikhs and was martyred for not leaving his faith to convert in to another. Hot sand was poured over his head, whilst he was made to sit on a burning, hot, iron plate. He meditated through it and never flinched. He never swayed from his faith, unlike us today!
Do we live a truthful and spiritual life or are we dishonest, when it suits our needs? Every action and thought is accounted for.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji Says, "Sach sa(n)jamo saar gunaa gur sabadh kamaaeeai raam."
By practicing truthfulness and self-restraint, by contemplating His Glorious Virtues, and living the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
By practicing the True Word of the Shabad, one comes to the home of his own inner being, and obtains the treasure of all virtues.
Vaheguroo!
