One who enshrines the Name of the Divine in one’s heart is a great king.
– Guru Arjan Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 1155
Message: By living to be the embodiment of the love and goodness of the Divine, one can become a King.
With goodness as a guiding force, one becomes the �capital� of divine wealth. All virtues and their respective power will be in one�s hands. With the hand of the Divine placed on one�s forehead, one can be accomplished, successful and strong. Respected by all, one will be carefree and independent, enjoying peace, calm and poise. As the embodiment of the Creator, one�s position of honour and respect is long-lasting. As one sees the Divine manifested in the creation, one sees Him present in everyone and everything.
Sadly the reverse is the other possibility. The person who is self-centred is not going to achieve much in comparison. Power, wealth and respect gained without right guidance is limited in its capacity to do good for oneself or others. Subject to one�s egoism, success is short lived.
Do you wish to be a King or a subject?
Etymology: From Sanskrit raajan (chieftain, king) ? Pali raajaa.
