Love for God

Other Motivations

Where is our Love?

ਮਾਇਆ ਅਗਨਿ ਜਲੈ ਸੰਸਾਰੇ ॥

The world is burning in the

fire of Maya. 1049

Maya is a burning house. If

we place our love in Maya

we will never be rewarded.

We need to place our love

on what is permanent, God.

Change the way you view

the world. First step learn to

put all your love in to the

Gurumantra.

ਜਾਸੁ ਜਪਤ ਇਹ ਅਗਨਿ ਿ ਪੋਹਤ ॥

The one who Japs

is not affected by

this fire. 236

Good News

Some of you have doubts if you can do this?

The answer is-

Yes You Can!

No more excuses.

If you made it out of the womb you can make it out of the Fire of Maya.

ਜੈਸੀ ਅਗਨਿ ਉਦਰ ਮਨਹ ਤੈਸੀ ਬਾਹਨਰ ਮਾਇਆ ॥

As is the fire within

the womb, so is

Maya outside. 921

Rago gun= Ocean of Fire

Tamo gun born from Fire Element

Distractions

A distraction is a Desire for something other

than God. That is your choice on what you

want to Love. What is your path? Thoughts

all begin in Rago and quickly turn in to

Tamo.

ਿੀਲ ਅਿੀਲ ਅਗਨਿ ਇਕ ਠਾਈ ॥

There are billions, countless billions of fires of desire at the seat of the mind. 221

ਅਗਨਿ ਕੁਟੰਬ ਸਾਗਰ ਸੰਸਾਰ ॥

Family and worldly affairs are an ocean of fire. 675

ਮਿ ਰੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਨਿ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਿਵਾਨਰ ॥

O mind, become Gurmukh, and extinguish the fire within. 22

Thoughts are the Sukum form of Maya and they are given by the 5

ਅੰਤਨਰ ਪੰਚ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਕਉ ਧੀਰਜੁ ਧੀਜੈ ॥

The fire of the five passions burns within

him; how can he be calm? 905

Imbalance of the pavan causes the fire

to rage and when there is no love for

God then the mind is always traveling

out the 9 gates

ਅਗਨਿ ਪਾਣੀ ਬੋਲੈ ਭੜਵਾਉ ॥ਨਜਹਵਾ ਇੰਦਰੀ ਏਕੁ ਸੁਆਉ ॥ਨਦਸਨਟ

ਨਵਕਾਰੀ ਿਾਹੀ ਭਉ ਭਾਉ ॥

Fire and water join together, and the breath

roars in its fury! The tongue and the sex

organs each seek to taste. The eyes which

look upon corruption do not know the Love

and the Fear of God.

Agan Bim ke Bani Imbalance of Pavan leads us to Rago and Tamo thoughts.

The 5 work use the Air to give us thoughts. The imbalance

leads us not only to think of the worst in people but also to

say hurtful things to others.

When we say hurtful things as listeners we hang on to

those words and creates DhurmatMal -Evil Mindedness.

Literally means dirt upon dirt or filth upon filth.

Air Water

Fire

Who shapes your mind?

ਕਾਇਆ ਆਰਣੁ ਮਿੁ ਨਵਨਚ ਲੋਹਾ ਪੰਚ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਤਤ ੁਲਾਨਗ ਰਹੀ ॥

The body is a furnace, and the mind is the

iron within it; the five fires are heating it. 990

ਮਿੁ ਵਨਸ ਦੂਤਾ ਦੁਰਮਨਤ ਦੋਇ ॥

The mind is under the power of the duths of

evil intellect and duality. 222

Didn’t you get a Tool?

ਤੁਮਰੀ ਓਟ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਆਸਾ ॥ You are my support, You are my hope.

ਬੈਠਤ ਊਠਤ ਸੋਵਤ ਜਾਗਤ ਨਵਸਰੁ ਿਾਹੀ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਸ ਨਗਰਾਸਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ While sitting down or standing up, while sleeping or waking, with SasGras, I never forget You. ||1||Pause||

ਰਾਿੁ ਰਾਿੁ ਸਰਨਣ ਪਰਭ ਅਪਿੀ ਅਗਨਿ ਸਾਗਰ ਨਵਕਰਾਲਾ ॥

Protect me, please protect me, O God; I have come to Your Sanctuary; the ocean of fire is so horrible.

Reth of the Mun

Code of Conduct for the Mind

• No Ego

• No Animosity

• No speaking against others

• Don’t care what others think

Working in this World

Most of us get burnt because we don’t understand how it works. We have a choice to accept or reject these words like gifts. All our desires are tied to out comes. This causes a great deal of anxiety and we become obsessed with the needs of the body and forget completely to feed the mind. We don’t do Karma and Dharma. Learn to be desireless when doing work. Its your choice how deep to go in Maya. Once you are in its easy to get lost and hard to get out.

ਅੰਤਨਰ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਚੰਤਾ ਬਹ ੁਜਾਰ ੇ॥

The fire of anxiety burns brightly within you. 903

ਅਗਨਿ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਗੁਨਰ ਪਾਨਰ ਉਤਾਨਰਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

The Guru has lifted me up and carried me across the ocean of fire. 178

Ego is the worst- When you do Rago gun activities you think nothing can be done with out you.

• When you are the doer everything is yours and you are trapped by attachment.

• Did you create the Five Elements, this body, this world? Why are you so Attached the only thing you have control of is if you remember God.

• God is the giver, He is the doer!

• Use him as Support.

ਤੁਧੁ ਨਬਿੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਿਾਹੀ ਕੋਇ ॥

There is no other than You,

Lord. ਤੂ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ਕਰਨਹ ਸੋ ਹੋਇ ॥

You are the Creator; whatever You do, that alone happens.

Animosity

When we hang on to what people have said or how they have acted.

See God in Everything

ਜ ੋਦੀਸੈ ਸੋ ਤੇਰਾ ਰੂਪ ੁ॥

Whatever is seen, is Your form,

Never see anyone bad qualities augun

Only see there good qualities

Speaking against others Slander v. Backbiting

Nindia Chugli

• One is where we talk bad against someone, the other is where we speak pleasant in front of that person but speak against them behind their back.

• Thinking or inferring other people’s motives is also Nindia.

There is no cure for the Slanderer

Dealing with People

Always remind yourself.

ਿਾ ਹਮ ਚੰਗ ੇਆਿੀਅਹ ਬੁਰਾ ਿ ਨਦਸੈ ਕੋਇ ॥

I am not called good, and I see none who are bad. 1015

ਮਾਇਆ ਅਗਨਿ ਿ ਪੋਹੈ ਨਤਿ ਕਉ ਰੰਨਗ ਰਤੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਨਣਆ ॥੫॥

The fire of Maya does not affect those who

are imbued with the Lord's Love and who

sing his good qualities. 132

ਸੋਗ ਅਗਨਿ ਮਨਹ ਮਿੁ ਿ ਨਵਆਪੈ ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਉ ॥੧॥

May my mind not be afflicted by the fire of

sorrow; may I sing Your Glorious Praises,

twenty-four hours a day 682

• God is in Surgun

• When you do Nindia you are not praising

God.

• When you do Nidia you think you are

better than others.

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਿ ਤਨਜ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਹਉਮੈ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ॥

O my mind, give up slander, egotism and

arrogance. 29

Don’t Care what others think

This is your game and your life play it with Love.

You have to play it in a way that you will win with single minded focus. • Don’t care what others think, say or do.

• Love the Gurumantra

• Love one another

• Live your life according to Gurumat.

• This is Jeven Jag the right way to live.

ਕੂਕਰ ਕੂੜੁ ਕਮਾਈਐ ਗੁਰ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਪਚੈ ਪਚਾਿੁ ॥

Those who practice Nidia are

dogs; those who slander the

Guru shall burn in their own

fire.

ਰਾਤੇ ਕੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰਨਹ ਐਸਾ ਕਨਲ ਮਨਹ ਡੀਠਾ ॥੬॥

One who is imbued with the Lord's Love is slandered - his is what I have seen in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||6|| 299

ਨਪਰਅ ਰੰਨਗ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਹਜ ਮਾਤੀ ਮਹਾ ਦੁਰਮਨਤ ਨਤਆਗਿੀ ॥

I am imbued with the Love

of my Beloved, and I am

naturally intoxicated with it; I

have forsaken my awful evil-

mindedness. 544

Home work

• Do three hours simran every day. • Work on remembering God with every breath. • Call me if you don’t understand how to do SasGras • Categorize all your thoughts by percentages as you did

last week. • Before you speak think in it needs to be said. • Before you think, think if it needs to be thought. Make

sure your breath is balanced all day. • Anytime you see someone see them and try to treat

them as you would speak or act towards God. • Remember the Reth of the Mind.
