Hukamnama by 5th Guru – Guru Arjun Dev ji
847-848

The Husband (and soul is the wife) God is peaceful, full of peace, fountain of kindness and a treasure of happiness. We need to “get” or “meet” God in order to find happiness, but this happens when our luck shines. Our luck shines when we give up our ego. We need to connect to God by letting go of Clever, negative and destructive thoughts (thoughts that take us away from God). When we come to God (ask for his help) we always have God’s support.

We should not forget God and seek support elsewhere. We bring spiritual death upon us when we forget God, and those whose mind is free of spiritual mindset don’t ashamed of forgetting God and surround themselves with bad people. We are burning in fire of gossip/hatred and jealousy. Our tongue doesn’t say God’s name, instead it bashes others. Our soul doesn’t focus on God or good deeds, we find joy in destructive things and move towards Spiritual death because destructive Maya (5 forms) is eating us from the inside. And for that reason we are stuck in cycle of birth-life-death-rebirth (and we don’t see these as bad). Loving someone else over God is like a worm in “shit” (feces), we destroying spiritual life while being stuck in “shit” of Vikaars (Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego).

We should stay in love with God and disconnect from objects of desire. People who connect with God don’t give up poisonous ego that comes from their physical appearance, food they consume and other material objects. We should not sway from good character in order to get pleasure from these destructive items. God’s people are aware of this and stay cautious and stay connected on God. When we meet God, we become one with God forever.
