Living In His Love

The Creator makes those people, who are in love with Him, realize His importance and makes them content. This is not what I say but it is expressed in the Gurbani. His name makes them fully happy and worry free. Let us look the following slok of the Second Guru, Guru Angad Sahib:

ਸਲੋਕ ਮਹਲਾ 2 ॥ ਜਿਨ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਤੇ ਰਤੇ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥

ਨਾਨਕ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥

Salok mėhlā 2. Jin vadi-ā-ī ṯere nām kī ṯe raṯe man māhi.

Nānak amriṯ ek hai ḏūjā amriṯ nāhi.

Slok of Second Nanak.

In essence: Oh Akalpurakh! Those persons who have the glory of your name remain drenched in your love internally. Oh Nanak! There is only one nectar: His Name; yes, there is no other nectar.

It is all about the psychological state of mind in which one’s mind feels totally content after one having the name- nectar. But there is one more fact that His name-nectar is obtained through the Guru’s blessing because the Guru guides the follower through the journey of living in His love:

ਨਾਨਕ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਮਨੈ ਮਾਹਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ਤਿਨ੍ੀ ਪੀਤਾ ਰੰਗ ਸਿਉ ਜਿਨ੍ ਕਉ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਆਦਿ ॥1॥

Nānak amriṯ manai māhi pā-ī-ai gur parsāḏ.

Ŧinĥī pīṯā rang si-o jinĥ ka-o likẖi-ā āḏ. ||1||

Oh Nanak! Akalpurakh’s name nectar is obtained within through the Guru’s blessings. Only those persons who are destined from the beginning taste His name nectar with love.

As per the above Slok, living in His love and enjoying this state of mind is actually preordained. As we see all utter His name, sing His praises but a few of them settle in contentment with a feeling to be with Him all the time, because those few ones are destined to be with Him all the time. Such a state of mind comes with His blessings.

Wishes.
