PLEASE HELP ME GURUJI
– Guru Nanak Dev ji

Dear Guruji: please save me, my life-boat is full of Sin and there’s a storm of Maya (5 forms) that I fear. Whether I am good or bad, I have still overcome my shyness and come to you to connect with God. Please bless me with connection to God. You are capable of helping people cross this ocean-like life with waves of sin, please help me get across safely. I give you the utmost respect, please connect me to God.

People who have a Guru they become successful in life because they have God in their heart and these are the real hermits (not the ones go away from civilization to find God). I don’t think the religious rituals are enough to pay off the sin from all past lives. I know that I have to do Simrun (meditate to God). Those who find Guru find God because we can get pardoned of past lives’ Sins via Guru’s words (Gurbani).
