It is HIS cooperation,
that is making the event
happen at that time.
Doctor isn’t doing anything in this.
He just took a guess,
and the ultimate power
agreed with the guess.
If that agreement wasn’t there,
all the guesses can be
thrown out of the window.
HE WILLS.
There is another quotation
that we need to keep in mind.
“Man proposes
and
God disposes”
It is HIS inspiration
that makes the proposal right,
or wrong
If HE is not agreeing,
you can forget about your plans.
You can forget your vacations,
you can forget about your cruises.
All the plans that you are making
and you are buying the tickets
and you are setting up all that,
it is just because HE agrees with it.
Other wise you can buy the ticket and keep it
and it can go unused.
There are so many things that can
go wrong here.
And that was the message
"gurmukh thaapae" Establishing,
"thaap outhaapae"
dismantling it, undoing it.
"guramukh jaath path sabh aapae"
"naanak guramukh naam dhiaaeae
naamae naam samaavaniaa"
So what is the person to do?
You just stay in his memory
as much as
physically possible
for you
to the best of your abilities
without making excuses
for not doing it.
Actually, find the reasons
to do it
than finding the excuses
to not to do it.
I can assure you
finding the excuses
not to do is
one of the easiest
task you will ever have.
Whenever somebody tells you I am are bored
or I have nothing to do
tell them to sit down and just do the jaap.
Watch where their boredom disappears.
No no no I’m not bored anymore,
I will go play this,
I will go do that
but don’t ask me this.
There is a beautiful story
about a rich man
who used to hire the people
for the work,
even advertise
labor needed
free food and
this will be the labor rate
for 8 hours work.
Free lunch, tea break
and he will write all those things down
and the people will flock.
He will bring them out home
sit them out down
and feed them.
Having fed them
he will say
"for the next two hours,
before the tea break
you are all going to sit down
and do jaap"
"what you mean"
that is the work
and I will pay for it;
and the people will say
"we can go out in the Sun
and break the stones for you
in that heat
but please don’t ask us
to sit down and repeat
a word
that is much more difficult
just to sit down
and
just keep on saying
"OM"
"Waheguru"
"Ram".
Please don’t ask.
And he will say
"I have no other work,
you came looking for work;
you want to be paid hourly wage
and all of your conditions are met
and I only have one condition.
Slowly slowly the word went out
and the people stopped coming.
Think about it
how easy to find a reason
to not to do it.
So if you go there,
if you become like that,
then you start going
further and further away
from his memory and
if you follow the process,
then what happens?
Slowly slowly a miracle happens,
which is
"naanak guramukh naam dhiaaeae
naamae naam samaavaniaa"
"samaavaniaa" means you literally merge
into it.
You literally become it;
but that potential only exists when you
follow that process.
Why is that?
The next hymn answers that question
and it says
"outhapath paralo sabadhae hovai"
"outhapath" means the Creation,
"paralo" means the armageddon,
the destruction.
You see, this suggestion to you
is not a philosophical thought.
It s not based on whims and fancies
of somebody,
because the reality is,
the whole Creation
was based on HIS Word,
was based on HIS Will.
What is the science saying today?
What is the theory of
evolution
saying?
Everyone is talking about it, right?
BIG *** means what?
They are calling it a sudden explosion,
a mystic is calling it HIS Word.
HE spoke up
Islam uses the word Kun,
K U N, kun. Allah said "kun"
which literally means "BE"
just BE,
and every thing was created.
out of one word.
Sikh mysticism says
"keethaa pasaao eaeko kavaao,
this thae hoeae lakh dhareeaao"
It means "keethaa" means 'to do'
'pasaao' means the expansion,
'eaeko' means just one,
'kavaao' means the word.
The entire expansion depends upon
HIS single command.
HIS single Word.
And when
HE decides
I need to put it back
HE will say one Word
and it will all be collapsed
into the nothingness once again.
That is not a fiction,
that is not a philosophy
it is the experience of
every mystic through the
history of spiritual consciousness.
There is not a single
dissension
on this.
