Okay, tell me on thing. Do you have to live with intellect or the face? How would a beautiful face help if there's no intellect? She would screw everyone in the house. I...had a chance to read this story that a new daughter-in-law came in the home, It was the first day. The whole family was sitting in the drawing room. So, the new daughter-in-law came and all were sitting. So, she stood up suddenly and she says that- -"I 'm feeling highly pleased that I've become your daughter-in-law." "And I have become a part of the home. And I want to make a request to you all." "I want to say a thing." "And it is-that before my arrival," "whatever was going on in his home," "all that-" hmm...!-"will happen in the same way." "So, the who one makes food, he should make food." "One who washes clothes, he must wash them." "The one who was shopping, he should carry on doing shopping." "I have come just to keep your son happy." "So, I will just do that job." "And no one needs to change anything because of me." A thought-less person, when you marry him, then just this would happen. With a desire, they do japa, with a desire, they recite a path. Hmh...! The... this desire of ours... Though Shri Bhagwan, In Bhagvad Geeta is saying this with a magnanimous heart, that the ones who worship with a desire, they are also devotees. But those who worship without a desire, they are the ones endearing to me! Like a mother said to he son, "Son, the milk is finished, run and fetch milk from the market!" He said, "Mummy, I will go only if you give me 500 rupees!" "Well, why?" He replied, "Well, Papa didn't give! So, if you'll give, then I'll do your job!" "So, if you don't give, then, I won't do your job, too!" Say. Would a mother feel happy with such a son? The one who makes a deal...! Makes a deal, if you give this much money, would do the job, otherwise, not! The remorseful thing is that people visiting temples, gurdwaras are making a deal with the Lord. If you give us this, then we'll recite the 'paath', And if you won't give this, then, won't do! Well, dear! Is there anything called love and affection or not? Desire-less. There's no desire at all! A very beautiful line of Bani, I am remembering. I don't desire kingdom, I don't desire liberation, my mind only has love for the lotus feet of the Lord! I don't desire kingdom, I don't desire libereration my mind only has love for the lotus feet of the Lord! I don't desire kingdom... Dear Lord, I don't ask for kingdom and rule! Dear Lord, I don't even ask for moksha! Only, -May I get the love for your Lotus Feet. Nothing else. Dear Lord, if you so desire, you may bestow anything. However, my mind's desire is just this much that I have come to your sanctuary. And may I keep receiving your blessings. And may mind not sway, not stray in the world, The task we have come here to accomplish, attainment of Truth, self-awakening, self-knowledge, May I be able to accomplish that task- I desire only this much from you; I don't want anything else Think, your son... Your son or your daughter... you say to him (her), umm..."Child, do you love me?" And he replies "Yes, I do when you give me an ice cream to eat." Or they say, "I'll love you when if you pass over the estate to me!" Or they say to you, "Sign all the jewellery kept in locker in our name" "then speak of this Love-and affection! Don't talk about such vain things!" "What love is? You too, show it that you love us!" "Write your estate in my name." What would you do at that time? Maybe, due to attachment, you may also fulfill their desire. But, would your heart feel happy? Would your heart feel happy? Would the heart feel comforted if they are such selfish kids... who, from you, only want things, only want money? But, in their heart, they don't have any love for you, they have no respect for you. I don't consider that any parents... Ehhh... can be happy from such a thing whereby a kid straightaway says that-"I don't have anything to do with you." "I'm just concerned with your possessions!" A desire has arisen that... Since the topic of love has come, So, some talk on love is something that must to be done. This shabad... I.. how this love...gets experienced? How, within our heart, it may dwell, Listen with a blissful feeling. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. If the Guru unites me with my Beloved Lord-the breath of life, then I shall not have to face the wheel of reincarnation again in the terrifying world-ocean. My mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. My heart is gripped by a yearning for my Lord, and with my eyes, I behold my Lord Master. The merciful True Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me; this is the Path leading to my Lord Master. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Imbued in the Lord's Love, I have found the Naam- the Lord's Name, Hari Govinda, my Lord-Master. The Lord seems so very sweet to my heart, mind and body; upon my face, upon my forehead, my good destiny is inscribed. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Those whose minds are attached to greed and corruption, forget the Lord, the endearing Lord Master. Those self-willed manmukhs- the ones driven by their minds are called foolish and ignorant; misfortune and bad destiny are written on their foreheads. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. From the True Guru, I have obtained a discriminating intellect; the Guru has revealed the Lord's spiritual wisdom. Devout Nanak has obtained the Naam from the Guru; such is the divine destiny inscribed upon His forehead. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay. Without the Lord, my mind cannot stay.
