THE STREAM!
"The stream of immaculate purity flows through the home of the self within; one who drinks from it, finds peace."
Guru Ramdas Ji 1534-1581
There is a light of positive power which surges through us all. If you can find the pure you, then bathe in that purity to feel rejuvenated.
In the above shabad, Guru Ji is talking about the power of Amrit Naam (ambrosial name). Guru Ji has called the name immaculate and pure. He says, it flows in the vessels of those who love him and remember him. The ones who taste and drink this spiritual nectar, find an everlasting peace and contentment.
Guru ji also says, this body is the field of karma. The wise Spiritual Sikhs plow and work it, then harvest the essence. They purify all their actions and senses through the stream of Amrit Naam Simran (meditation). This is when it pours in to all the vessels of love within the being.
Guru Ji then goes on to say, those who follow their mind and not a spiritual guide, their minds are engrossed in the attachment of materialistic pleasure (maya). Their minds become very thirsty for more and burn with desire. When we have desire, we have no love. It's just a yearning of WANT! One can never fall in love with God, if they have the burning desire of materialistic pleasure within them. Peace, love and contentment are far away from such individuals. The only desire we should have is, the desire of meeting God and liberating our soul.ย
Guru Ramdas Ji then says, "The stubborn-minded, egotistical, proud-minded person performs rituals, but these are like sand castles built by children.
When the waves of the ocean come in, they crumble and dissolve in an instant."
let's not build temporary sand castles of ego and attachment, let's pump our vessels with the love of Gods name. This will be the only substance which remains within us, when we leave our clay filled body.ย
Vaheguroo!
