Message on the eleventh day of the lunar fortnight: When one heads in one direction, one does not suffer the pain of reincarnation (misery) again. – Bhagat Kabeer, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 344
Message: With reference to the eleventh (ten plus one) day of the lunar fortnight, Bhagat Kabeer reveals that if we head towards one direction, we are sure to succeed. Meaning, if we are focussed and sincerely endeavour to achieve our goal (single mindedly), we will find our destination –both worldly and spiritually.
Spiritually speaking, our goal is to realise the divine potential within all of us. Once we do so, we do not have to suffer the pains of misery in life again and again. Our body and mind become peaceful and pure. The treasure of divinity and spiritual bliss, which earlier appeared beyond reach, will now be found within. We attain harmony and serenity internally and externally.
