9 steps that lead us away from Guru Sahib

Postby loonharami » Mon Sep 07, 2009 10:11 am

The 9 steps that our mind takes when committing an immoral deed:
1) Looking at someone of the opposite sex and having dirty thoughts.
2) Listening upon dirty conversations.
3) Remembering this person’s face.
4) Praising that individual’s appearance to others.
5) In your mind thinking endlessly about this individual.
6) Privately thinking dirty thoughts of this individual.
7) Making plans on how to achieve goal to get closer to this individual.
8) Carrying out actions which assist in accomplishing goal.
9) Achieving the goal.


According to Guru Sahib’s Teachings these are 9 steps our mind falls into that lead us away from God and away from our true objective. A Gurmukh is one who has controlled his mind through Maharaj’s blessing and does not fall into these traps of Maya. Khalsa is pure on the inside and outside, jeeahu niramal baaharahu niramal ||
gur kaa sikh bikaar thae haattai ||
The Sikh of the Guru abstains from evil deeds.

mithhiaa naethr paekhath par thria roopaadh ||
False are the eyes which gaze upon the beauty of another's wife.
akhee vaekh n rajeeaa bahu ra(n)g thamaasae||
The eyes are not satisfied with beholding sights and exhibitions.

akhee praem kasaaeeaa har har naam pikha(n)nih ||
The eyes which are attracted by the Lord's Love behold the Lord through the Name of the Lord.

jae kar dhoojaa dhaekhadhae jan naanak kadt dhicha(n)nih ||2||
If they gaze upon something else, O servant Nanak, they ought to be gouged out. ||2||
par thria roop n paekhai naethr ||
The Gurmukh is one who does not gaze at the beauty of another’s wife.

My eyes are covered with so much filth from the countless sins iv commited in my past lives,
In this life i have engdlessly commited sins with these eyes over and over again leading me to be spiritually blind and a lustful beast!

I am scared of those Saints who are one with God, They can see right thru me, They can see thru the Religious displays, they can see what i truly am,
These eyes which were given to me by Guru sahib i have not used them to read bani nor have i Prayed to see Guru Sahibs Darshan, these eyes are filthy they ought to be cut and thrown out,
I have Forgotten the Giver and have chased Maya around day and night she has blinded me she has thoguht me to think that looking at sumone lustfully will give me pleasure, but what happens i suffer for millions of days for these lustful acts i commit,, Save me dear Lord bless me with the dust of your servants feet because that is the holy water which washes me eyes and blesses me with the ability to see you, see you in everything

bikhai ban feekaa thiaag ree sakheeeae naam mehaa ras peeou ||

Renounce the tasteless water of corruption, O my companion, and drink in the supreme nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
(Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Raag Bilaaval, Pannaa 802)

Hi everyone,
I'm someone who had cut his hair and has kept it again (going on almost 1 year). I have also been reading 1 ankh of gurbaani everyday, reading the meaning with each line.
