Guru Arjun Dev Ji tells us that the root cause of conflict is anger. Anger is such an emotion that it doesn't allow compassion to rise up within us. Anger is a strong emotion that takes control over our mind and makes us dance like a monkey. Our journey to recovery begins when we take our guard down, stop justifying being angry and beg before Vaheguru Ji (God) to help and save us. ਹੇ ਕਲਿ ਮੂਲ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੰ ਕਦੰਚ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਨ ਉਪਰਜਤੇ ॥ O anger, you are the root of conflict; compassion never rises up in you. ਬਿਖਯੰਤ ਜੀਵੰ ਵਸੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਨਿਰਤੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਜਥਾ ਮਰਕਟਹ ॥ You take the corrupt, sinful beings in your power, and make them dance like monkeys. ਅਨਿਕ ਸਾਸਨ ਤਾੜੰਤਿ ਜਮਦੂਤਹ ਤਵ ਸੰਗੇ ਅਧਮੰ ਨਰਹ ॥ Associating with you, mortals are debased and punished by the Messenger of Death in so many ways. ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਦਯਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਅ ਰਖੵਾ ਕਰੋਤਿ ॥੪੭॥ O Destroyer of the pains of the poor, O Merciful God, Nanak prays for You to protect all begins from such anger. ||47|| ਹੇ ਕਲਿ ਮੂਲ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੰ ਕਦੰਚ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਨ ਉਪਰਜਤੇ ॥ O anger, you are the root of conflict; compassion never rises up in you. ਬਿਖਯੰਤ ਜੀਵੰ ਵਸੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਨਿਰਤੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਜਥਾ ਮਰਕਟਹ ॥ You take the corrupt, sinful beings in your power, and make them dance like monkeys. ਅਨਿਕ ਸਾਸਨ ਤਾੜੰਤਿ ਜਮਦੂਤਹ ਤਵ ਸੰਗੇ ਅਧਮੰ ਨਰਹ ॥ Associating with you, mortals are debased and punished by the Messenger of Death in so many ways. ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਦਯਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਅ ਰਖੵਾ ਕਰੋਤਿ ॥੪੭॥ O Destroyer of the pains of the poor, O Merciful God, Nanak prays for You to protect all begins from such anger. ||47|| Please SUPPORT our work www.basicsofsikhi.com/donate Contact us: www.basicsofsikhi.com/contact-us Follow us online: www.facebook.com/Everythings13.BasicsofS­­ikhi www.twitter.com/everythings_13 www.instagram.com/basicsofsikhi www.soundcloud.com/basicsofsikhi www.basicsofsikhi.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzwbdBQIgRA

Guru Ram Das Ji says I’ll touch the feet as a humble servant day & night of those devotees that meditate on God's name. Guru Ji makes it clear that even if the world classes you to be of low caste, immersing yourself in the love of God like Bhagat Ravidas Ji, Bhagat Namdev Ji & Bidar Ji, you will reach the highest state. Bhai Baljit Singh explains that Vaheguru Ji (God) didn’t take into account that Bhagat Ravidas Ji made shoes for a living, Bhagat Namdev Ji dyed fabric or Bidar Ji was the son of a maid. Vaheguru Ji saw the devotion within their hearts. Devotion is said to be the shortest route to reaching Vaheguru Ji’s heart but it involves complete dedication and intensity. ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਘਰੁ ੬ Soohee, Fourth Mehla, Sixth House: ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ One Universal Creator God.
