Hukamnama by 9th Guru – Guru Teg Bahadur Ji

The biggest misfortune of a person who possesses a lot of wealth/material objects is that his heart’s desires stay within his heart. He didn’t do Naam-Simran to connect with God, he didn’t do any Sewa or company of people who are connected with God. Then, he died.

My dear: Wife, friends, son, cars, material objects, money – think of these as destructive attachments (because they don’t go with you after death). Your real companion is God’s name. You had gone off path while you were stuck in the cycle of life and death (different species), you have finally taken birth as a human.

Only in human form you can connect with God (because only humans can read, write, think and create), this is your time, why don’t you do Naam-Simran?
