Fortunate are those whose destiny is to receive! Gur Bin Gyan Kahan Say Paaoon

Guru's Hukum for today. What I get out of this is that truly fortunate are those who obtain His nadar and are helped to stay detached from Maya and whose destiny is to receive from the creator. Now, one may ask, receive what? I think it is Naam, wisdom, gyan, and company of the sadh sangat if one is fortunate enough, which are the things that bring peace, tranquility, contentment, spiritual success in one's life. Since Creator is the ultimate giver of all, they don't have to worry about wordly things and about staying in the cycle of rebirth and death.

My problem is that mind starts wandering again in all kinds of directions after a while. From things at job, to TV shows, to family affairs, to bills, to bollywood songs, sexuality and all. I guess I am no different when it comes to being in the grip of maya. But still this is very helpful in focussing on Waheguru's name. Read and share if you like.
