Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Recently Daas has noticed that many people still feel the need to feel higher or lower from others; however, this is not Gurmat. as Gurbani says this: "ਜਾਣਹੁ ਜੋਤਿ ਨ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਜਾਤੀ ਆਗੈ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਹੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ जाणहु जोति न पूछहु जाती आगै जाति न हे ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ Jāṇhu joṯ na pūcẖẖahu jāṯī āgai jāṯ na he. ||1|| rahā▫o. Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ||1||Pause||" (Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 349). (Note: This does not mean that everyone is Vaheguru; but rather, that everyone has Vaheguru's light inside of them, only Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the 11 Gurus have the light of Vaheguru fully shining inside of them.) So that is what Daas will focus on for this topic.
A Gurmukh who can see Vaheguru in all things is definitely the type of person that would be hard to find; as there are many mistakes throughout us; and sometimes we want to feel higher or lower because of what we do; rather than accept that it is Hukam. Vaheguru is not interested in our ranks in society; but rather our service to humanity and to the message of what he preached. This equality does not mean groups are equal; but rather there are no groups: and humanity is one. "ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥ आई पंथी सगल जमाती मनि जीतै जगु जीतु ॥ Ā▫ī panthī sagal jamāṯī man jīṯai jag jīṯ. See the brotherhood of all mankind as the highest order of Yogis; conquer your own mind, and conquer the world." (Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 6) This is important as it shows that not only humanity is equal; but rather they are one, and not separate groups. Something to know is that rules of growing in Bhagti apply to everyone; nobody is exempt from following the same rules of Bhagti; and that is to go to Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji because everyone needs the Satguru equally; and built the qualities of a Gurmukh. Vaheguru, this was a very important topic; as sometimes; in the name of "false equality", we organize humanity into different groups; rather than accept humans as one; and we make the groups equal, not the people; however. Gurmat is about humanity as equal not groups. We also must attempt to see Vaheguru in all; since he is the cause for everything, and we must especially not divide ourselves over small issues. Most importantly, we should acknowledge that the rules for Bhagti apply to everyone, and the only way one can progress is through the Satguru, Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Vaheguru, Vaheguru, Vaheguru; this is the what we must remember. Vaheguru, Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni, Forgive Any Mistakes from Daas. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
