Day 2 : Devotion to the GuruWhat are we here for? What should we be doing? Some arebusinessmen, some are factory workers, but we all have onething in common, we want happiness, or sukh. No one wantspain, or dukh. Waheguru is the Ocean of Happiness, the Oceanof Anand, or Bliss. If we walk to the Sun our shadow is behindus. If we walk to Waheguru then our dark times are behindus. If we turn our backs to Waheguru then we walk into darktimes. Sukhmani Sahib is the prayer which contains the treasureof peace. It was written by Guru Arjun Dev jee. It contains24 sections, one reading a day makes our 24 hours successful.It only takes an hour and a quarter to read.By remembering Waheguru all Dukh, all suffering and sorrowdeparts, and meditating on ‘Waheguru Waheguru’ we gather allSukh, all happiness. Guru Arjun Dev jee says this,“Simaro Simar simar sukh paavo.Remembering Waheguru obtain all Sukhs.”The prayer Sukhmani is the treasure of sukh. Like milk containsthe treasures of yoghurt, butter, indian sweets and cheese.So in the same way, God’s Name, or Naam contains the treasureof all sukhs.In a dry field no seed can germinate. A son can’t be born withouta mother. A person without devotion to Naam can’t getsukh. The more devotion one has the more Sukh one is blessedwith.19
