A Mortals Run.... Loving & Ageing

The world is forgetting, abusing and tearing apart the real meaning of Love. The greatest love one can experience is in communion with God in meditation. When our loving nature is contaminated by selfishness, we start loving things more than persons (especially the Supreme). Cursed is that life, in which the Lord's Love is not obtained.

Spiritual quote on the manmukh and his Love run:

“First, the baby loves mother's milk;

Second, he learns of his mother and father;

Third, his brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters;

Fourth, the love of play awakens.

Fifth, he runs after food and drink;

Sixth, in his sexual desire, he does not respect social customs.

Seventh, he gathers wealth and dwells in his house;

Eighth, he becomes angry, and his body is consumed.

Ninth, he turns grey, and his breathing becomes laboured;

Tenth, he is cremated, and turns to ashes.

His companions send him off, crying out and lamenting. The swan of the soul

takes flight, and asks which way to go”

SGGS137

The love between the soul and the spirit is the perfect love.Why not chant the Lord's Name in your heart, when you are still young?

Ageing is a process of becoming older. It represents accumulation of changes in human being over time and can encompass physical, psychological and social changes. Many mortals attached to Maya have forgotten the fear of old age and death, hence the old age tyrant dances on those mortal's shoulders. But for those who climb aboard the boat of the True Guru, the True Lord comes to their rescue.

Much truth in the below spiritual verses.

“At the age of ten, he is a child; at twenty, a youth, and at thirty, he is called handsome. At forty, he is full of life; at fifty, his foot slips, and at sixty, old age is upon him. At seventy, he loses his intellect, and at eighty, he cannot perform his duties. At ninety, he lies in his bed, and he cannot understand his weakness. After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke”

SGGS138

Serve the Lord in childhood and youth and meditate on God in the middle and old age. This conscious attempt to remain attached to the Lord: there shall be no fear of old age, and the supreme status shall be obtained.
