God has infused dark energies into our bodies which are tapped into by an uncontrolled mind. This is the way God has set his game in Kaljug, however if we constantly praise the lord by doing Kirtan our minds can be controlled and we will automatically stop doing sins and stop enjoying corrupt pleasures. But to control the mind takes a lot of dedication it is no easy task. One must have a disciplined routine full of devotion to the lord; we must show our devotion by meditating in remembrance of God and reading a lot of Gurbani. If we don’t do this we will never be able to conquer the mind and attain union with God. Doing Kirtan is the only way we will become pure and rid ourselves of the energies that lead us to doom. It is no easy task because the dark energies are very powerful and put up a strong fight, at any given opportunity when your guard is down they come and strike making you commit sin.

Night and day, meditate in remembrance on the one who will be your Help and Support in the end. This poison shall last for only a few days; everyone must depart, and leave it behind. Who is our mother, father, son and daughter? Household, wife, and other things shall not go along with you. So gather that wealth which shall never perish, so that you may go to your true home with honor.
