King Janmeja did not understand (and accept) the word of his mentor. How could he find peace deluded by doubt? Later he repented making this small mistake. �Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 224
Message: Disregard not your mentor�s advice
The verse above refers to the legend of King Janmeja who became very proud of his charitable works.
Rebelling against the advice of his guru, Vyas, he made a mistake that led to suffering and great shame.
According to legend, King Janmeja did not obey the advice of his spiritual mentor, Vyas, and married a beautiful damsel he was forbidden to.� When his queen appeared at a public feast that he organised wearing transparent clothes, the Brahmins he invited laughed. This enraged him and he killed them. As a result of this killing, it is said, he became a leper.
Do we also at times tend to ignore the Guru�s instruction?
That may be one of the causes of distress in our life. Let us pay heed to the Guru�s loving advice and restore our peace of mind.
