(12) We have to PRAY to get HIM # Antargat jis ap janae – Nanak tis jan ap bujhae

kara-o bayntee paarbarahm sabh jaanai.
apnaa kee-aa aapeh maanai.
aapeh aap aap karat nibayraa.
kisai door janaavat kisai bujhaavat nayraa.
upaav si-aanap sagal tay rahat.
sabh kachh jaanai aatam kee rahat.
jis bhaavai tis la-ay larh laa-ay.
thaan thanantar rahi-aa samaa-ay.
so sayvak jis kirpaa karee.
nimakh nimakh jap naanak haree.//8/5//

Dhan dhan satguru ARJAN DEV JEE MAHARAJ
Kirpa karna.

(Reference ashtpadi 5 and 6)>

In previous blogs, we pondered over many points. We concluded that cosmic drama is created and monitored by HIM only. Nothing is in hands of human-beings. We have feeling of separateness from HIM only due to individuality acquired by us and root cause of same is ego (haume). The situation around us and reality is not being perceived by us due to delusion of Maya. If we diminish our haume and surrender ourselves to will of that omnipotent divine father he gets us TRUTH implanted in our mind. That wisdom (sojhi) gifted by HIM gets us clear vision. But the point is, first step required is to finish individuality. Merely efforts of human-beings in the forms of various strategies (such as austerities, pilgrimage, meditation, studying through scriptures, yoga and righteous conduct, renunciation, fasting, and other ways)may or may not yield results. But complete surrender to HIM and yearning prayers will get you HIS blessings And HIS blessings are must. It is HIS sweet will to whom he reveals truth and to which extent. Even inspiration to spiritual efforts also comes from HIM only.

saaDh janaa kee maaga-o Dhoor.
paarbarahm mayree sarDhaa poor.
sadaa sadaa parabh kay gun gaava-o.
saas saas parabh tumeh Dhi-aava-o.
charan kamal si-o laagai pareet.
bhagat kara-o parabh kee nit neet.
ayk ot ayko aaDhaar.
naanak maagai naam parabh saar. 1
