PRIORITY
"Mus mus rovai kabeer kee maaee.
Kabeer's mother sobs, cries and bewails."
Bhagat Kabeer Ji's mother was very upset. She sobbed and cried saying, "Kabeer has given up all his spinning and weaving duties. How are we going to earn a living?
Bhagat Kabeer Ji lovingly uttered, "When I pass the thread through the bobbin, I forget my beloved God. I can not live without him for even an instance." Bhagat Ji goes on to say, "People call me lowly, because I am a weaver but as long as I have God's name enshrined in my heart, I have nothing to worry about." He tells his mother not to worry, as God will look after his worldly affairs. He says, "God has always provided for him and his children.
We always think we need to earn more, as we assume we will never get by. We are not very content. We always want more and more. Most our elders (parents) behave in this way. We all need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Where is this life going? What's the reason we are here?
If we all used Guru Ji as a guide, we would never fail. Just as Bhagat Ji never failed, we would never fail either. We need to change our mentalities and the way we think. We need to help and guide our children to study and also take to the path of Sikhi and spirituality, which will help them feel peaceful and relaxed at every moment of the day.
Parents have a massive role in guiding their children in this wonderful, spiritual way of living and becoming a professional, whilst living it. It's our duty to repay Guru Ji with our time and they will most surely repay us with spirituality, peace, calm and constant happiness.
Kabeer Ji Says in the same shabad, "Har kaa naam lehiou mai laahaa.
But I have earned the profit of the Name of the Lord which has saved me."
Vaheguroo!
