Spiritual World : June 17, 2007

Today I am going to concentrate on the importance of vision in the spiritual world, though it is not with a different meaning from our physical world but it holds a more greater and result oriented value as for as the spiritual world is concerned. Here your vision works as tour ch that brings light on your path of shaping self and leads you for the success in your ultimate aim . Once, One of mine close friend ask me why you are saying "Living God, Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji" . Granth is a holly book of Hindus and Sikhs and hold the same importance that Bible or Kuran hold for a Christian and a Muslim respectively. I can't understand how can a book be a "Living God"? What and how I reacted to him, is the illustration of importance of vision for achieving spiritual goals and destinations. I told him a story.
Bhai Mardana, who spent his own life in following the spiritual vision of Ad Guru Shri Guru Nanak dev ji and giving company to Guru Sahib at every walk of life, went to meet second sikh Guru, Guru Angand Dev Sahib. After normal exchange of greetings, Mardana said:

Guru Sahib, I have one doubt, would you bless me by answering my just one question to clear my doubt.

Guru Angad Dev Sahib replied " Maradana ask your question, because doubt is the most dangerous speed breaker on the roads of progress of spiritual world."

Maradana said; I have given company to Guru Nanak through out his life, I always followed his instructions and even at some incidents I have faced risk of life while carrying out his instruction but at the time of handing over his spiritual powers and Guru ship, he preferred you over the me, can you tell me a good reason for it?

Guru Angad Dev ji replied "Mardana , let me tell what is your vision about Guru Nanak? What you think he was?"

"He was a complete saint, who has taken birth on the earth to guide the true way towards the spiritual world". Maranda replied.

"Than why you are complaining Mardana?" Guru Angad Dev ji told; " Guru Nanak Dev Sahib ji made you what they were according to your vision, a complete saint."

So friend it will be my concluding statement, I am not asking you to bow before Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji considering "Living God" , you may keep your vision of holly book, A book, collection of thoughts of not only Sikh Gurus but also other God dedicated souls of that time, but I assured on the basis of my own personal experience, that If you are in the vicinity of Guru Granth, you will be benefited according to your own vision.

Satnam Waheguru.
