Guru Nanak

Dear All,

It seems that Nanak ji just started from where sathya left yesterday's post where he exactly explained that He was before, He is here and He will be there after you, me and the entire creation ends!!!

Just replace the word "He" in the above pour with "IT" or "THAT" or "TRUTH" and read the whole quote all over again.

The process of creation was explained couple of days as to how 5 elements were created by Him and How He had to pour Himself and through that pour, He Himself (or His spirit) emerged as 5 elements one by one and from the 5 elements, plant kingdom, then animal kingdom and then human beings were created one by one.

Since there was no time, no space, no mind that were existing when He / That alone existed, there can be no birth, no death for Him / That. Time, space etc came after 5 elements were created.

There can be no fear for Him because fear can arise only in mind and He is name less, form less, attribute less and therefore, He has no mind.

Nanak dev says He is realized by the kindness of Guru.

This is because, unless you are under a Guru who has actually realized God, you with your limited mind and your own ego, can know God only with limitations.

As given in an earlier post also, Swami says "you offer only your mind to me and nothing else" and also He says "allow Me to work through you and on you".

So, when one truly surrenders to God or Guru, he totally surrenders his mind and allows God / Guru to take charge of him totally, to transform him!

The word "True" used by Nanak ji is there in our scriptures as "Sathyam" (Sathyam Jnanam Anantham Brahma)!!

To actually know very clearly about God who has created this creation, about How He existed before creation, How He created and also put Himself in everything that He created,  the "Creation" theme has to be taken up by the author. For that, He has requested all of you / few of you to interact with him, let him know how his posts are helping you (if at all!) etc.

Unless you revert with your feedback, the posts would be just like the samarpan bhajans which the author started, continued for 8 years and left and no one ever came up and asked him - why he left !!!!!

Now, samarpan is past and the books are gathering dust in our shelves!!! Should these posts also be in the same way??

Love.
