everything that comes your way as an obstacle can simply be passed through with just a smile. there’s nothing bigger solution than to stay calm even when you’re in a chaos inside. just a descent carve of your cheeks can take your worries away. just get up and see that calm and charm of your face in the mirror, you’ll never let yourself stay in the chaos inside too. but even more beautiful thing is if in that stage of worry you get to remember ‘Waheguru’ nothing in the world can take away your peace.
ਨਾਨਕ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਤਿਸ ਹੀ ਹੇਇ ॥
O Nanak, don’t be anxious; the Lord will take care of you.
our mind is attuned to stay in a state of worry even if everything is going all well…you’ll start to worry that how can it go so well. why isn’t there any problem until now, there must be something suspicious and this cycle would never stop. we are always in a rush of desire for something or the other and never get to a stable state of mind.
ਕਬਹੂ ਜੀਅੜਾ ਊਭਿ ਚੜਤੁ ਹੈ ਕਬਹੂ ਜਾਇ ਪਇਆਲੇ ॥
Sometimes, the soul soars high in the heavens, and sometimes it falls to the depths of the nether regions.
ਲੋਭੀ ਜੀਅੜਾ ਥਿਰੁ ਨ ਰਹਤੁ ਹੈ ਚਾਰੇ ਕੁੰਡਾ ਭਾਲੇ ॥੨॥
The greedy soul does not remain stable; it searches in the four directions. ||2||
Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Raamkalee – 876
the only issue is we are always clicked towards the problem and never want to take a pause and have a thought to find the solution. our mind is so engrossed to think about the wrongs that even after knowing the path to solution, we’re unable to cover that distance. the only way we can walk that path of stability is the remembrance of ‘Waheguru’ which only comes if we submit ourselves to him.
ਚਾਕਰੀਆ ਚੰਗਿਆਈਆ ਅਵਰ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਕਿਤੁ ॥
What good does it do to serve, and be good, and be clever?
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ਤੂੰ ਬਧਾ ਛੁਟਹਿ ਜਿਤੁ ॥੬॥੧॥੩॥
O Nanak, contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and you shall be released from bondage. ||6||1||3||
Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Soohee – 729
