In kaljug the mortal wonders around after Maya and tries to find peace by chasing money and pleasing the opposite sex. People will do anything for money and the opposite sex, their whole lives are based upon pleasing others and their own dark desires. Going to work, clubs, pubs and parties they spend their lives in search for peace. They chase around the worldly illusion forgetting that it is an illusion. No one has found peace through worldly things. The internal pain and suffering never goes no matter how much one make try and cover it up. The fear of death is always there no matter how brave one may act. Without remembering the lord and living a life according to Gurbani one has:
Negative energy/ is never content/ wastes time in false illusive pleasures/ is never satisfied/ Feels pain and fear burning with the fire of Sin/ The mind is full of evil intentions and corruption/The soul is impure and ones intellect is diseased.
You do not control your seed and semen, and yet you claim to practice abstinence. You are lured by the tastes of the tongue and sex organs. Ang 903 SGGSJ
He does not preserve his semen and seed, and does not chant the Shabad. Ang 945 SGGSJ
But by living according to Gurbani one has:
Positive energies well up inside them/Their soul becomes purer/The feeling of pain goes away/ feeling of contentment in the sanctuary of the lord/ stopped chasing the false and sinful pleasures of the world which lead to hell/ a pure mind which becomes attached to the lord and all corruption is gone.
Your Name, O Lord and Master, is the Purifier of sinners, the Giver of peace, immaculate, cooling and soothing. Ang 207 SGGSJ
In the Lord's Sanctuary there is soothing coolness, peace and tranquility. He has extinguished the burning fire. Ang 210 SGGSJ
The Dark Age of Kali Yuga is so hot; the Lord's Name is soothing and cool. Ang 288 SGGSJ
Those who meditate on You, Lord, those who meditate on you-those humble beings dwell in peace in this world. Ang 11 SGGSJ
The created Universe emanated from within You; there is no other at all. Whatever is said to be, is from You, O God. He is the True Lord and Master, throughout the ages. Creation and destruction do not come from anyone else. ||1|| Such is my Lord and Master, profound and unfathomable. Whoever meditates on Him, finds peace. The arrow of the Messenger of Death does not strike one who has the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is a priceless jewel, a diamond. The True Lord Master is immortal and immeasurable. That tongue which chants the True Name is pure. The True Lord is in the home of the self; there is no doubt about it. ||2|| some sit in the forests and some make their home in the mountains.
Forgetting the Naam, they rot away in egotistical pride. Without the Naam, what is the use of spiritual wisdom and meditation? The Gurmukhs are honored in the Court of the Lord. ||3||
Acting stubbornly in egotism, one does not find the Lord. Studying the scriptures, reading them to other people, and wandering around at places of pilgrimage, the disease is not taken away.
Without the Naam, how can one find peace? ||4|| No matter how much he tries, he cannot control his semen and seed. His mind wavers, and he falls into hell. Bound and gagged in the City of
When one is rid of egotism and pride, his mind is drenched in the Lord's Love. Practicing fraud and hypocrisy, he does not find God. Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he cannot find the Lord's Door. O Nanak, the Gurmukh contemplates the essence of reality. ||8||6|| Ang 906 SGGSJ
