Young girl dies of swine flu - coping with fear

EMAIL FROM A FRIEND:
 
Dandouth bandana ji,

 

Kot Kot Shukrana ji,

 

Today my family was very disturbed on hearing the news of a young girl 6 year old who died of swine flu. She used to live in neighbourhood and was very lovely , playful girl. Being a father of young girl,,,we feel scared as something like swine flu which spreads thur air ,,,how do you protect your loved ones.My feelings are coming out of MOH,,,but felt the desire to ask these questions

 

While we understand that every thing happens under hukam,,,but heart says

what opportunity did that young soul get  to do Naam simran?  To understand any Gur praasad? How will she be Jivan Mukt when her journey ended so early before she could understand any Naam Mahima?  Its another thing  that even after getting gurprasad, a person can fall from grace.

 

This brings another very important question to forth.....should we as a parent decide to seek Gurprasadi Naam for our children,,,for if any such thing happen atleast we will have the satisfaction that they  had the eternal naam and The Naam will take care of them.

Harjit ji, kindly bless this ignorant fool with some divine insight into this incident as feeling little emotional as the girl was same age as of my daughter and the incident totally shook our souls..that life has no guarantees .

 

Bhool chuk Maaf Karna ji.

REPLY FROM HARJIT WITH GURU'S BLESSINGS:

 

Satnaam Satguru Satsangat ji - dandauth bandhana ji.

 

Our prayers and love go to the family of the child and to Dassan Dass Ji to bless the soul of that young girl.

 

The journey of the soul is more than one lifetime, Baba Ji told us we have had 189 lives just as a human.

 

We are reaping what we have sown and are trpped in Infinite Loop of Maya i.e. reincarnation.  Som ego old, some go young, we get what we have sown from this and past lives.  God doesn't lie to anyone of us, as soon as we take birth we all know we will also die.  But we get comfortable with Maya and fall in the trap we will love a long life. 

 

Dassan Dass ji says in his Gurprasadi writing that we think old age is for Naam Simran when actually it is much harder to go into Samadhi in old age, but if children are encouraged and surrounded with good parents, gurbani , kirtan , simran and seva then they go can stay pure for longer.  Dassan Dass Ji told us that we can not tell anyone to take Gur Prasadi Naam because the feeling has to come from within the individual.  So same with children as is for us, we can teach them to accumulate good deeds, refrain from bad deeds, do some simran every day, listen to gurbani in an encouraging enjoyable way and pray for Gurprasaad of Naam.

 

The reason people feel scared or shocked when a young girl dies is because inside yourself something is getting triggered. And when you ask yourself what, you will start getting to the root cause which is your own 5 thieves.  Moh within us means attachment to our family, which means the fear of losing them.  When a young girl like our daughter dies, then the Moh in us rattles us. But instead of questioning god, the real thing to do is to thank God for showing us how much Moh we still have inside us.  Dont fear, because "karmee apao apanee" - our deeds are our own, the girl who died had her own karma - your daughter has her own - swine flu was just the story, but Karma was the real reason. 

 

Baba Ji told us that KARMA OVERRULES EVERYTHING - we think we are doing something eg going to a wedding because its our close relative, but actually Karma is the underlying reason because we have give and take to fulfill in that time and place with those people.

 

When it is time for someone to die, then no one can save them, but when it is not time then no one can kill them.  Our step uncle was shot 25 times in the head and body and survived, as he was being shot all he could see in his mind's eye was His Guru in spiritual form.

 

"Janam Maran Hukam Ha" meaning that birth and Death are by God's Command  (not by swine flu or whatever other reason we put on it like cardiac arrest for Michale Jackson - it was his time to go according to God's will, the rest is just a story the world gets carried away in, because they think birth and death is in their hand).

 

Dust of your feet
