WHY WE NEED TO RESPECT SANTS AND HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Hukamnama by 5th Guru – Guru Arjun Dev ji
867
Sants (God-like people who follow Guru’s advice and are immersed in God completely and never do anything wrong) have a special place in God’s heart. If someone gets on bad side of someone they get in a lot of trouble from God. When someone disrespects Sants, God takes away their status and power. God protects Sants from all problems. God and Sants think alike and those people become Sants when God starts giving them special attention and care (even though God loves all).
God is always near a Sant and provides special care and protection with every breath. If someone wishes bad for a Sant God takes everything away from that person – even a kingdom. We should not disrespect a Sant. When we do we lose our spiritual life. When God is protecting someone how can anybody cause any harm no matter how hard someone tries.
When someone has solid faith in God they come to realize that this life and physical body is God’s gift. When we follow our mind (and not Guru’s teachings) we lose this life battle, but when we come to Guru we are always victorious.
