Everyday llife

What is the condition of the lover of God or the Master? His attention is always riveted on the Master, the God in Him, even while eating, drinking or sleeping. Sometimes you may become so much engaged in the Master that you do not remember whether you have eaten or not, who you are or what you have been doing, who has come or who has gone. This is the ultimate goal. Such a man is awakened within to the Master and asleep outside to the world.
                
Kirpal Singh



Who is not conscious of his outer life and the environment, is not conscious of his real life; if he claims to be, he only pretends so. There are favourable and unfavourable happenings appearing and disappearing in the life of man. If he is not conscious to develop in the favourable time, the unfavourable happenings are due to him. It is up to the man, as how he reacts. When one is not conscious, he is wavering, and everyone has different impressions on him. The thoughts of others have also different effects on him. Man learns more from the life of others than through his own life. The Conscious Co-worker of the Divine Plan is awake to the merits and demerits of life, and he easily discriminates and avails the right moment of his life.

He does not waste his time in reading novels or looking so-called movies or in idle talks. He knows that it is not beyond his outlook to know all what he needs with his attention. For him the essence of every matter is not more than a shadow.

The Gurmukh does not wear gaudy and attractive clothes, he wears simple, neat, and clean dresses and is not affected by any change in fashion. He keeps his body covered with full dress and does not use half-naked dresses etc. and does not wear any ornaments.
He does not eat from the plate of others and does not serve others from his used food; otherwise his Master has to bear the consequences in accordance with the background of such people according to the natural law. The food fallen from his hand or mouth while eating can credit the negative power. He is very conscious and does not make a display of eating. He does not throw his foodstuff before the dogs and cats or other animals, though he advises others to serve them separately.

*

He does not use meat, fish, eggs, wine and other intoxicants and the foodstuff mixed with the same. He does not serve the same to others and does not provide the money to buy it for others. A little fault committed in this respect will throw him away from the nearness of his Master.

­His Mas­ter ­helps ­him to ­sip ­the un­seen Wa­ter of ­Life ­and ­Bread of ­Life, ­the in­stant ­food ­for ­the ­soul to ­keep ­the ­body ­fresh ­and en­er­get­ic. He is nev­er af­fect­ed by ­the out­ward hun­ger ­and ­thirst ­and ­can ­live ­from ­the in­ner en­er­gy ­for un­ex­pect­ed ­long ­time. In short­age of ­food he ­would pro­vide ­his ­food ­for oth­ers ­and ­would ­like to ­take it af­ter­wards.

The Gur­mukh ­thanks ­for ­the nat­u­ral ­gifts ­that he ­takes or us­es ­for ­his phys­i­cal ex­is­tence. ­This he ­does to ­pay ­off ­the re­ac­tion be­fore­hand. ­Thirst ­and hun­ger ­are ­the ­main forc­es in ­the ­world. ­While tak­ing ­food he ­makes Sim­ran ­and ­thanks ­the giv­er. ­This he ­does to ­get ­the ­right en­er­gy ­for ­the ­right ­cause of ­his Mas­ter. He ­does ­not ­take ­the wa­ter, rath­er he ­eats ­the wa­ter. ­Sip by ­sip he ­takes it in ­sweet re­mem­brance of ­the Mas­ter. By do­ing so, he be­comes ­alert ­and ­fresh to do ­the fur­ther ­work of ­the Mas­terpow­er.
