FIND AND BEFRIEND THESE PEOPLE…
– Guru Nanak Dev Ji

God created this universe and he takes care of it, and he made the world chase Maya. When God blesses us we feel the light of God within us – sort of like a moon shining in our body. With this purity of God’s name, the darkness of problems and worry is eliminated from our heart. Just like a wedding party looks good with Groom in it, same way our soul looks good with God in our heart. Those who realize the value of God, let God stay in their heart. Therefore we get respect in this world and world after death (our soul goes there after we die).

I give my respect to people who are not dominated by Maya; I spend time with these people and have made connection to their heart. We should always remember these Gurmukhs (dominated by Guru’s word, rather than Maya) who are close to our heart. Meeting these people brings us joy, and they keep their true friends close and value them more than their own life. They are full of good qualities, bad qualities don’t influence them.

If you find a box of good qualities, you should open it and get the true inner essence. If you want to breed good qualities within yourself then you should find Gurmukhs who will share their good qualities. You will then get rid of bad qualities and live your real life purpose. You will treat others with love and kindness, and win over Vikaars (actions based on 5 forms of Maya – Lust, Anger, Greed, Ego and Attachment). Then we only talk about kindness, and stay away from bad stuff and focus on God.

God is the one who does everything, nobody else has power, therefore we can’t complain. God knows everything without asking, he doesn’t make mistakes. He listens to everyone’s prayer and gives without asking. He gives to the whole universe. God is the doer, we can’t complain about anything to anybody else.
