Panna 729: The herons in their white feathers dwell in the sacred shrines of
pilgrimage.
They tear apart and eat the living beings, and so they are not called white. ||3||
In this way keeping the company of Saints is like a lake in which there is pure cool
water, so if at the true Lords feet one cannot control his mind then where else can they
control it. All the outer sins one commits, they wash off at holy places but if they go
to a holy place and commit sin then there is no place for them as Bhai Gurdas Ji says:
A dried out field with water can become lush and green but a field destroyed by water
can not become lush and green with water.
Panna 1381: The crop which is burnt will not bloom, even if it is soaked in water.
Fareed, she who is forsaken by her Husband Lord, grieves and laments. ||62||
So in this way wrongful deeds done outside can be forgiven here but those who
commit sins here will not be forgiven anywhere. With true congregation, individuals
such as Bidhi Chand and Sajan Tugg have been saved.” Baba Ji continued with many
other examples which hit the hearts of these Soldiers very powerfully. Both of them
stood up in shame and with folded hands in front of the devotee and said, “Maharaj Ji!
We are great sinners please bless us Maharaj! We are the greatest of all sinners and
are unforgivable as we still continue to commit sins.”
Baba Ji replied, “Beloveds! This is the door of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj and
each person gets according to their own doings, those with good intentions get good
and those with bad get pain. The Ever Prevailing Creator knows inside of everyone’s
hearts and none can hide anything from him.
Panna 156: I looked in front of me, and I looked behind me, but where could I hide
from You? ||3||
Dedicating ones body to the Lord one makes his life and body worthwhile.
Panna 517: Deep within yourself, worship the Guru in adoration, and with your
tongue, chant the Guru's Name. Let your eyes behold the True Guru, and let your ears
hear the Guru's Name.
Attuned to the True Guru, you shall receive a place of honor in the Court of the Lord.
Says Nanak, this treasure is bestowed on those who are blessed with His Mercy.
In the midst of the world, they are known as the most pious - they are rare indeed.
||1||
Or else all of ones Indrya’s (body limbs) and eyes are incomplete and unpure.
Panna 1362: The eyes which do not see the Holy - those eyes are miserable.
The ears which do not hear the Sound-current of the Naad - those ears might just as
well be plugged.
The tongue which does not chant the Naam ought to be cut out, bit by bit.
So here there is always justice and no one is favoured on.”
