TREE
Guru Nanak Dev Ji Says, "At night, lots of birds settle on the tree. Some are happy, some are sad. Caught in the desires of the mind, they perish. And when the life-night comes to it's end, they look to the sky. They fly away in all ten directions."
We live in a planet of many souls. Like birds on a tree, we will fly in to the vast and limitless sky to continue our spiritual journey. Control the whims of the mind and allow your soul to feel this freedom now.
Why are some souls sad and some happy, when the life night comes to an end? Some souls have realised they have not dedicated their life to Guru Sahib's spiritual Sikhi. They have realised they will have to now go to the jamdhooth (Angel of death) and suffer the consequences. Only Guru sahib knows when they will get another opportunity to serve this mind and body through Naam meditation again. Many have left this body and still after many thousands of years, they have not received the gift of this human body to purify and liberate this filthy mind. This make them very sad, as they have not done their mind and body any justice. They came here to earn profit and they wasted this beautiful human body in worldly/materialistic affairs. Only Guru Sahib Ji knows when they will be gifted another opportunity.
On the other hand, many souls are extremely happy, when their life night comes to an end. They have done their Guru proud. They have liberated their souls and will go on to liberate their friends, families and generations to come too.They have brought honour to themselves and all their loved ones. Their Guru will give them anything they wish for. They will always be content. They are now settled at the pure gate of sachkhand (gate of truth), listening to the sublime kirtan (singing of Gods praises) and living in amongst the most beautiful souls to have ever existed.
According to our past karma, our soul continues it's journey. We can change our karma along the way by becoming positive, meditating on Vaheguroo's Name, becoming virtuous, taking Guru Sahibs Amrit and remaining in sangat. our life's journey becomes easier and much more special to live.
"The soul usually knows what to do to heal itself, the challenge is to settle the mind through Naam meditation."
Vaheguroo!
