has hriven two eyes also to see. Then to bring up this body he has provided
the earth, that provides food to it and after death takes the body back.
So, 0 yOhri, people have forgotten the creator, and benevolent Lord and
people have become greedyin desires. They have forgotten to sing His praises.
WhatI mean is, thatto sing the praises ofthe benevolentLord and remembrance
of His name is the correct and easy path.
I have no enmity with anyone, whether a Hindu ascetic or recluse or
practitioner of Hath yoga or a Muslim saint, may be in any practice, they are
innumerable. Whenever I meet anyone my aim is to sing the praises of the
Lord. One thing is, that by singing the praises of the Lord, I remain dyed in
His love. Second, this is my service to the Lord. Third, this is a service to the
world, that I give a touch of the real thing i.e., praise of the Lord to the
seekers of the Lord. This is a service to them also.
o Machchinder, we have to desire the Lord. We have not to leave this
desire, but we have to detach our mind from worldly desires. The worldly
desires never get fulfilled and the non-fulfillment causes fear and sorrow.
This 'desire for the Lord' we can get by sinhring the praises of the Lord.
Like, paper and salt get dissolved in water very qUickly.
Similarly, the desires trap the mind qUickly. Now, if you make the paper
oily with oil, and wrap the salt in something oily, then the water is not able to
dissolve them qUickly.
Similarly, when the mind gets dipped in sinhring the praises of the Lord,
then the desires cannot trap the mind easily.
In this way, we can live in the world but with a detached mind.
Like the lotus in the muddy water is not affected by the muddy water. In
fact it gets nourishment from the muddy water.
So, when one gets the holy company of the saints who are in the praises
of the Lord and who recite the Lord's Name, then the messengers of death
cannot come near him. With the holy company, by rubbing the oil of'recitation
ofName' and sinhringthe praises ofthe Lord they have become immune, first,
from being trapped by desires and second from being touched by the
messengers of death. So, why should they do Hath yoga and remain in the
fear of the messengers of death.
Bysinhring the praises of the Lord, they reach the palace of the Lord.
Machchinder: 0 Nanak, What you have said, we both have understood.
Isn't it Gorakh?
Gorakh: Yes, we have understood but.. ..
Machchinder: Butthe path you have told is more difficult than renunciation.
No, no. It is not possible at all to do meditation while living in the family.
