LAUGHING
"While laughing, playing, dressing and eating, he is liberated."
Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606
Guru sahib says, we can be liberated whilst laughing, playing, dressing up and eating delicious foods.
How is this possible? As these can be massive distractions in our spiritual gain.
It's important our mind and breath are not seperated from the naam. When the naam is within and heard 24/7 with our inner ears, it is a blessing by Guru ji and everything we do is parvaan (accepted) and blessed according to gurmat (guruโs way).
We can have a laugh yet remember god with every breath. We can own the best cars, houses and clothes etc, yet be detached, as the name in our every breath detaches us. Nothing is ours, It's all Guru Jiโs. The remembrance of the name, teaches us to think in this way with every breath (divine wisdom). Everything we eat will be purified through every breath of naam meditation (no meat, fish or egg). There are different forms of personal rehit, bibek for gursikhs. Every gursikh has their own personal asool (rule).
The above is a blessed and higher state of consciousness. It's best to live a simple life, away from any distractions, in order to progress further spiritually. Guru sahib will bless us with their wisdom when we are ready to progress. It is all achieved through single minded practice of naam meditation.
Guru sahib ji caters for all states of mind in Gurbaani, as they want everyone to excel further and they also answer the questions of all.
"Receiving the name (vaheguroo), the mind is satisfied; without the naam, life is cursed." Guru RamDas Ji
Vaheguroo!
