All-in-One Relationship
ਕਹਂਉ ਕਹਾ ਯਿਆ ਮਨ ਬਉਰੇ ਕਉ ਇਨ ਸਿਉ ਨੇਹੁ ਲਗਾਇਓ ॥
How do I educate this naive mind of mine, about the fragility of human relationships and worldly attachments?
(Guru Tegh Bahadur – SGGS 633)
But there’s hope:
ਤੂ ਮੇਰੀ ਓਟ ਬਲ ਬੁਧਿ ਧਨੁ ਤੁਮ ਹੀ ਤੁਮਹਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਪਰਵਾਰੈ ॥
You, O Lord are my kith & kin. You are my strength, my discerning intellect and wealth.
(Guru Arjan Dev – SGGS 820)
Gurbani has the answer to all our dilemmas, whether they relate to the mind or the spirit. The punj-bhootak body is perishable and returns to the elements, from whence it came.
Focus on Gurbani. All else is vanity and falsehood.
