THE BOAT
"The Guru is the boat, the ship, the raft; meditating on the Lord in your mind, you shall be carried across to the other side."
Many times in Gurbani, this dark age is referred metaphorically as a terrifying ocean; one which we are to cross in order to reach the shore on the other side. In order to cross an ocean, we need support, we need a boat that can carry us across. That boat is the name of God (Vaheguroo). By continually meditating, we build and craft this ship which one day we shall board and be carried across elegantly. Only the name shall save us; all other ways and methods shall not work! Meditating and loving Godโs name is the key to liberating the soul.
Vaheguroo!
