WHO CAN WE CALL BAD?
fareedhaa khaalak khalak mehi khalak vasai rab maahi ||
Fareed, the Creator is in the Creation, and the Creation abides in God.
Whom can we call bad? There is none without Him.
The shabad above makes it clear, we can not call anyone bad. God is within everyone and resides everywhere. He created the creation and then abided in it.
We are all in the rut of letting our emotions (mind) affect us. On doing so, our mind makes us speak ill about others. We don't always mean what we say and usually regret it afterwards.
This shows how far we are from our inner self and how distant we are from recognising our mind. We struggle to recognise Vaheguroo is in all, so who can we call bad? Are we calling Vaheguroo bad?
For those of us that speak ill about others and follow it through by remaining upset and wanting to really mean what they have spoken verbally, tend to not recognise the mind and are hardly anywhere close from working out the cleverness of this mind. This shows how far we are from recognising the true form of the mind. We are letting the egotistical mind beat us in our quest of liberating our soul and conquering this filthy mind.
In reality, no one is bad. We are the bad ones for we need to purify ourselves and everyone will begin to look pure to us. We will see God in all. When we remember and contemplate the love of Vaheguroo's name with every breath, we begin to see the virtues of God in all.
People recognise our actions as being bad, as they are led by their own negative minds, which usually causes them to judge others in exactly the same way. When the mind is controlled by the love of Vaheguroo's name, then the so called worst of the worst seem like beautiful souls of God!ย
Guru Amardas Ji Says, "Antar Joth pargatyaa paasaaraa.
Deep within the self is the Light of God; It radiates throughout the expanse of His creation.
My God is pervading and permeating all places.
By Guru's Grace, I have found Him within the home of my own heart.
I serve Him constantly, and I meditate on Him single-mindedly. As Gurmukh, I am absorbed in the True One."
Vaheguroo!
