Devotee Receives Honour In The Kingdom Of God-Nirankar
The spiritually enlightened persons love even those who hate them. Once a Divine Master (Guru Amardas ji Maharaj) was sitting. A person suffering from jealousy came and hit him in his back with his foot. An ordinary person will think that he must have caught his leg, twisted it and thrown him on the ground. But look at the greatness of the Divine Master! No doubt he caught him by foot, but he started fondling the same. He said, "There is hardly any flesh on my body. There are bones only. May be you have hurt your delicate foot. You might have felt the pain." This is the distinction of the spiritual masters and saints. If we are followers of such Divine Masters, we must also have such life, adopt such feelings. We must do good to others. Lord Christ also says that there is nothing special if you love those who love you. Even murderers, thieves and robbers may do this to each other. Two criminals may have mutual love based on mutual interest. What is unusual of special about it? Distinctions goes to the saints, the devotees of God, who extend love to and pray for the well being of even those who possess ill will for them, who treat them as their enemies. It is the devotee who receives honour in the kingdom of God-Nirankar.
When The Thought Of God Is Not In Mind, It Is Absent From Life
Today man is confused, upset and distressed. Why? Because man is becoming distant from man. Why so? Because God has been forgotten; God whose presence is the source of happiness has been taken as absent. This is, however, quite surprising. On the one hand, God is said to be present everywhere and on the other way 'absent'. How can God, the Omnipresent, be absent? This absence relates to our minds. When we forget it, it becomes absent from the mind. Take for instance a man who while walking struck against a pole. He was asked, "Brother ! Is your eyesight alright? Do you really have eyes?". He told, " My eyesight is perfectly alright. Only two months back I got it tested by a specialist. He asked me to read a chart which had big letters, small letters. I read them correctly from distance as also from near. Thus there is nothing wrong with my eyesight." "Then how did you strike against the pole?" he was asked. He replied, " My brain is working, my eyes that you seen on my face are working. But what to do? My mind was somewhere else. While walking, I was thinking of something else." Now eyes are working, the light is there. But the mind is somewhere else. So people are striking against poles; they are getting hurt. Similarly when the thought of this God-Nirankar is not there in mind, it is absent from the life.
