Satnaam satguru ji's gyan has taught us the following about dealing with losses and tests of our faith:
We go after happiness but end up with sadness, we chase after profits but end up with losses, we expand our families through marriage and children but end up death, we all want healthy bodies but cant avoid sickness. Too many losses during our lifetime leads to feelings of failure, depression and loss of faith. Too many successes leads to arrogance, pride and extravagant showy life. So what is the way through the maze of the mind? Dont withdraw from life in order to avoid sickness, heartache and losses, live your life positively and take opportunuties that come as per your karma and satguru ji kee seva. But always look inside at the state of your mind. Losing money or family members or your health is not the real loss. Losing your peace of mind and your faith in your satguru is losing everything. Winning profits and getting success in life is not the real thing as its only temporary happoness in the mind. The real success is even winning the lottery you keep your mind as a humble dog at your satguru j's lotus feet.
So dont withdraw from life because you got hurt, live life and when you get hurt again say "your will is sweet i only want the love of yoir lotus feet - satnaam". Dont let maya make you cry, dont cry for maya either, while we have desires for sukh we will cry on getting dukh. So dukh sukh eko jaan - see dukh and sukh as the same. Evreytime you have sukh, satnaam, everytime you have dukh, satnaam. Tie both ends together, see satnaam in gold and dirt, see satnaam in black and white, see satnaam in day and night, see satnaam in sex or single life. So live life and laugh at losses and maya and thank satguru for freeing our mind. Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam.
