LAHA (profit)
We have all come in to this world to earn a profit of some form. Some think they have come to earn the profit and riches of wealth, some collect the profit of houses, some collect the profit of greed, some of friends and some of their belongings. People collect profit in many ways and think their life will become successful and contented in doing so.
The answer is, all the above profits only bring suffering and sorrow.
Why do they bring suffering and sorrow? Simply, the more we have, the more we want. This mind is never content and happy. One is never satisfied with all they have. They always want more!
What's the true laha we should be collecting?
The true laha is the laha of Naam, baani (teachings), Sangat (spiritual congregation), gunn (qualities), love and a virtuous character. Without this laha, one will never be happy. This laha makes one peaceful. One feels content within. One feels they don't βneedβ anymore. One is loved and respected by all. The individual has all the mind desires and stops the mind from living in the past and present.
The real profit Guru Sahib Ji talks about is Naam meditation. This profit conquers all the above. Nothing comes near this profit. Once one amerces themselves in Naam, everything else becomes easier to overcome. The reason for this is, once the mind is controlled by Naam, no force in the world can destruct it. All emotions, senses, materialistic pleasures, desires, vices are easily overcome.
This treasurable laha is very close at hand yet we choose to ignore it and live our life without it. How is it even possible for a human to live without being in control over their own mind?
Ask yourselves the question!!
Doubt and desire control our minds. Let's take control over our own minds and watch to see how our lives change for the better.
A Gursikh was asked, "What have you gained from meditation?" He replied, "What I've gained is indescribable! However let me tell you what I've lost: Anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death."
Guru Amardas Ji Says, "Gur sabadhai maelaa thaa pir raavee laahaa naam sa(n)saarae
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the soul-bride meets her Husband Lord, who ravishes and enjoys her. The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the only profit in this world."
Vaheguroo!
