ENLIGHTENMENT OR SLAVERY – YOU DECIDE
– Guru Nanak Dev ji

People who worship God have a strong magnetic attraction towards God, they pray with love and are filled with love of God, they look up to God, and therefore, enjoy eternal peace. Dear mind: worship to God and make God’s name your life’s purpose because God’s name is the ship that will get you across this life which is like a raging ocean in a thunderstorm. Guru’s word will help you get rid of Sin from your life. God’s lovers find the treasure of unlimited eternal joy. The material objects and money distracts our mind and we have to control it, whereas this treasure of Guru’s name fills us with real love and connects us to God. God’s lovers are determined that God’s name is the only immortal thing in the world, and they always praise God.

Everybody is stuck in reincarnation because of they are attached to Maya (5 forms – Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego) which leads to lots of problems and keep wandering all their life. When we come to God, we are saved from Maya and with God’s name in our heart we escape the curse of reincarnation. When we commit Guru’s lessons to mind, our spiritual faith becomes strong and we focus on real important things in life and our mind becomes focused. God’s name purifies our mind and we get enlightenment.

We should love and worship God and have God’s name in our heart to cross this raging ocean like life. Our prayer to God should be – “God: I give my body to you, I am in your refuge, please bless me.” God’s name is path to Spiritual life and we should keep it in our heart as it eliminates Maya. We should always work on controlling our mind so that we stay connected to God.
