QUESTION:
Satnaam satnaam satnaam sada satnaam
kottan kot dandauth towards paar brahm parmeshar ji, satguru ji and gursangat ji
i never got to understand what guru ji meant by hukam. Guru ji tell us that everything is within the hukam. Everything that happens, every action that we take happens according to the hukam, so if everything is happening according to the hukam, why does guru ji say that we shall get what we deserve from our actions. Guru ji tells us that everything is controlled by the hukam. If that were the case, Why does one suffer, if the actions he/she carried out were controlled by the hukam in the first place....I am so confused!!!! Do you think there is such thing as free will? If there isn't then why do we get judged because if there is no free will then all our actions are done by him!!!! Please put some light on this
sorry if i said anything wrong,
dust of everyone's feet
ANSWER :
in my simple understanding see the Creation like a long train.
The direction of that train is determined by the Driver's Will . That is the HUKAM that is running the whole Creation in a certain way.
Within the carriages we reside and we can do good or bad. That is freewill and we pay the price of our actions - that is karma - consequences. Some go towards the front of the Train towards the Driver, other goto the back- further away.
A BrahmGiani is the Knower of God, is the one who has made it right to the front and is one with the Driver.
Everyone else is running around in the carriages, thinking they are doing everything, forgetting they are part of a bigger Train, a bigger Will - the HUKAM.
I asked Baba Ji once, the first thing Baba Nanak ji asks us in Japji Sahib is "How do we become truthful? How is the veil of falsehood torn down?" And the answer is "Follow the pre-ordained Hukam..." But I said to Baba Ji , but what is the Hukam? How can I follow it if I dont know what it is?
Baba Ji replied, "Only the BrahmGiani is living 100% in the Hukam at all times. So until we become BrahmGiani we need to come under the shelter of one. And follow their Hukam for us."
Its like we have freewill, but we dont know how to get to the front of the train like a child who can sit on His Father's the Drivers lap. So we find the BrahmGiani, the one who is the Driver, to show us the way. We use our free will to make this choice and find our way to our Father's Laps. At that point when ego is totally destroyed, we realise that we are now living 100% the same as the Driver. Whatever Dvine Thought comes from the Driver, is our thought and we enact it. There is no ego and no freewill to get in the way now. We even realise that what we thought was "our thoughts" and our freewill, was actually ALL GOD as well.
That is why Baba Ji says to understand HUKAM very simply, just remember that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that has happened upto this moment in time was the HUKAM. But whatever actions you take right now, you will reap as well. That is freewill. For most of us when we are doing an action, its freewill, when its done though it was the HUKAM. But for BrahmGiani when they are doing an action it is HUKAM and when it is done it was HUKAM.
Hope that helps.
But ultimately who really can understand a BrahmGiani? Only another BrahmGiani ..."brahmgiani kee ghat brahmgiani janaay" ...Sukhmani. So I am not that, so all we can say really about the BrahmGiani Baba Ji is, "Dhan dhan Dhan jaan aayaa jis prasad sabh jagat tariyaaa" ...Blessed Blessed Blesssed is that divine soul, by whose coming, the whole world is ferried across.
