**Hukamnama for days Jan 4, Sep 8

Guru Nanak Dev ji says we should make our body pure and clean of sin, and he uses the analogy of making yogurt at home. In old days, wash the bowl, use incense to get rid of bad odour and then and only then we pour milk in it. Same way we should cleanse our soul by practicing control over our mind and stop ourselves from getting involved in all type of Sin (however small it is). Daily Naam-Simran is like Milk, our passion and love for God is Bacteria (that converts milk into yogurt), and this is how we can connect with God.

Only Naam-Simran helps us and everything else is useless. We should hold God in our heart with love and connect with God via Naam-Simran. If we think we can please God any other way, we are wasting our time and effort. We should pray to God to bless us with Naam-Simran and discussion of Gurbani with others.
