A very Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti
Today we feature beautiful Gurbani written by Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji. It is part of Japji Sahib.
\\ THE MANTRA & MEANING \\
Hukmai anḏar sabẖ ko bāhar hukam na ko▫e.
Everything is in Thy Will, nothing is outside of it.
Nānak hukmai je bujẖai ṯa ha▫umai kahai na ko▫e. ||2||
O Nanak, one who surrenders to thy will, does not speak in ego.
\\ UNDERSTANDING \\
When we live too much in our minds, we loose that peace that we all crave for. Understanding that everything that happens in this universe is according to the will of that supreme creator of all. When we came into this world, it was not our will. It was his will. And if we just meditate on this, and surrender ourselves completely to his will, we immediately start to let go, we start to let life happen to us, instead of waiting for things to happen. Instead of postponing happiness, we start being happy now. And When we we internalize this, and know that all are governed by his will, that ego, disappears. Its ego that keeps us in our mind, that keeps planning for future and nurturing the past. When we know that That supreme power has a plan for our lives, we start living in the moment.
