CONVERSATION WITH GURU JI
QUESTION: I know that Gurbani talks over and over about how, as humans, we are full of mistakes. Only Guru and Vaheguroo are perfect but why do I become attached to a man and begin following him?
GURU SAHIB: Remember bhulan andar sabh ko abhul guru kartaar and Guru Ji also adds, If you follow a person remember;
Guru Jinaa kaa andhulaa, Sikh bhi anday Karam kareeyn - those whose Guru (teacher) is blind, his Sikhs (student) will also commit blind actions.
QUESTION: Guru sahib, but why do I know more about this persons life than I know about you?
Why do I listen to this person more than I listen to Gurbani?
Why can't I realise that you tell me to have no reliance on a man but yet I still do?
Where I used to wake up and think of you, I now awake and think of them, Is this wrong? What if this man can help support on my Sikhi path?
GURU SAHIB: Maanukh Kee tekh birthee sabh jaan
Devan ko Ekai bhagvaan
The support which humans can provide is pointless. The one lord Vaheguroo is the only giver
Birthaaa bharvasa lok thakur Prabh teree tekh.
Faith in people is pointless and worthless. Vaheguroo you are the only one who provides support.
QUESTION: So what should I do Guru sahib?
Apna meet swami gaaeeyai - tisai tiaag maanukh jo sevai tao laaj loon hoe jaaeeai.
Sing the praises of the one Vaheguroo, those that forget him and start serving (singing praises or - follow) a person, will lose any honour they have, just like salt dissolving into water.
The most a human can provide is some inspiration, when we see the way they live - Nothing else.
Finally I ask how can I break this attachment to man?
Immerse yourself in Gurbani, and connect with Naam meditation.
The majority of the Sikhi journey is an individuals journey, where no one can help you apart from Guru Sahib Ji. It is all about your connection and growing love for Guru. Those who still idolize Gursikhs, Kirtanees, Parchaariks (speakers) etc are at a very very early stage in their Sikhi. Those who recognise the journey of Vaheguroo within them will never look at another.
Akeee prem kasaaeeaa har har Naam pikhann
Je kar dooja dekhde Tao Nanak kadh dichaan
My eyes are filled with love having the Darshan of you (Naam roop)
If I now start to look at another, please take my eyes out, for they serve no purpose.
Vaheguroo!
