TERA HI TERA: EVERYTHING IS GOD’S BLESSING
– Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Just like iron has to go through excessive heat to melt before it’s made into useful objects, we are same way – God has put us into the cycle of birth-death-rebirth to go through Maya until we finally become one with God by becoming enlightened. Without God’s knowledge we go through activities that only bring us problems. Ego keeps us distracted and stuck in human life cycle.

Those who go to God are saved from this cycle because they connect to God and get blessed. God blesses us with human life and cares about us, and everything we have is God’s blessing. When we die we lose our home and belongings, and our whole life is an illusion where we are robbed of real treasure (spiritual life) and we don’t appreciate this beautiful life and always worried about wrong things. Ego is our worst enemy and let thieves steal.

Then who should we complain to? We are protected when we go to Guru, because God keeps us alert via God’s name. We then eliminate greedy desires and replace it with God’s light. With Guru’s blessing we are saved from Maya (5 forms – Lust, Anger, Ego, Greed, Attachment). GOD: Please bless me so that I always keep you in my heart.
