Hukamnama by 1st Guru – Guru Nanak Dev ji
903-904

Guru Nanak Dev ji says:

1. Give yourself to Guru (do what Guru says)
2. Guru’s message gives us peace because we start meditating to connect with God
3. We give up our attachment to Maya & protected from it’s strong influence
4. We overcome fear of death (it’s inevitable)
5. We become mentally solid/strong
6. We overcome spiritual death
7. We are able to see God in everything and everywhere

Maya is so strong, it makes us do bad things and stay away from God. Guru teaches us how to connect to God. Connection to God makes us mentally strong so that Maya doesn’t affect us. Example: you can have millions of dollars and still not be attached to it (no fear of losing it, and you don’t have ego because of the riches).

Maya (5 forms = Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego)
