THE TRUE PURPOSE OF LIFE
– Guru Nanak Dev Ji

People who don’t like God’s name are travelers who have lost their life’s purpose and wandering in life. These people get stuck in Maya-dominated world and go through hard times, and they don’t like God’s name. (5 forms of Maya are Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego). When God blesses us with Guru, our wandering stops and we stop seeking peace elsewhere. This happens because Maya’s attachment is eliminated because we connect with God permanently.

The traders of Truth connect to God. We can’t find God while we are attached to false and destructive material objects. God saves us from cycle of reincarnation. We experience Vairaag (sadness caused by separation) of our loved ones – which is useless. We don’t even know what Vairaag is. We need to understand that life and death is God’s wish, and we need to experience Vairaag from the world. Every life is pre-planned by God and we need to learn the reality of God’s wish, only then we learn true meaning of life. We detach from Maya in God’s wish and get respect from God. When we get attached to Maya, we invite problems in our life and get stuck in the prison of reincarnation.

When we learn that everything is happening with God’s will then we get the treasure of God’s name. We should let go of ego and our life is a reflection of own deeds. Selfish people who are stuck in Maya don’s escape the cycle of reincarnation and go through problems. They get robbed and they die with attachment to Maya. We should seek God as it saves us guilt when death is near. God is capable of forgiving our sins. Dear God: bless me with your name and Guru so that I earn the real treasure (of God’s meditation). Please bless me as you are my only hope.
