The Meaning Of Lifethese. But the Gursikh will not. Guru Granth Sahib jee says,‘Nar achet pap te dar…O man be afraid of committing even accidental sins.”Be scared of committing an accidental sin. Every day we read“Ape beej apeh he kao…we reap whatever we sow.”A holy man was blind, for the last 100 lives he hadn’t committeda single sin. He asked many Saints why he was blind as hehadn’t committed any sins in the last 100 lives. One Saint toldhim to look even further back. He looked back 40 more lives- no sins, 40 more - no sins, 100 more and still no sins. TheSaint told him to look back just one more life. He saw that hewas a human child, he had a locust in his hand. As a 12 yearold boy he took a twig and poked out the eyes of the locust justfor fun.We say,“Nanak Nam Chardi Khala.Tere bhana sabatt da bhalla.Nanak says may the rising energyof Naam benefit everyone.”When we say benefit everyone, we don’t mean all Sikhs, norall humans but for all creatures.Mercy is a quality greatly emphasised upon in Guru GranthSahib jee. If a Saint doesn’t have mercy then he’s a butcher.69
