True devotion is something so pure that we cannot taint it even if we try, because of the devotee’s strong resilience. All the evil in the world around him/her simmers down and the focus remains only on God (Nirankar). Since we are having devotion for Nirankar, these positive virtues just come naturally to us, because we understand. What does Nirankar stand for? What does our Satguru represent? What does Nirankar constantly tell us through the voice of our Satguru? Love which builds bridges–not walls, lets blood flow through veins–not in drains. Let us look for the lighthouse to guide us to eternal bliss.
Being in sangat plays a big role in growing our devotion and in letting it blossom. As children who have grown up hearing words of wisdom from saints in sangat, we were bound to develop this faith sooner or later; curiosity comes to play, God knowledge comes, understanding, and then our actions we choose to take.
Do sewa (selfless service) with no selfish motives. That is already humility and kindness. Do simran (pray), that is already giving love to our almighty. Do satsang (spiritual meet-up), which teaches us to forgive others, forget about our own ego, and always do the right thing to become a better person and inspire others around you to be better and kinder too.
When we have true devotion, we’re listening to Nirankar’s words of wisdom; when we do sewa, simran and satsang, these virtues of love, forgiveness, humility, and kindness, all come to us without having to even think, just like instincts. Our everyday thoughts, speech, and actions are thoroughly influenced by our true devotion.
