O mind! Embrace deep love for the Divine.
By great fortune, one who finds the Guru, (the Divine) carries him or her across (the world-ocean) by the Guru�s Word. -Guru Ram Das Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 82
Message: Fortunate are those who, through a yearning for the Divine, embrace His love from a young age. The early understanding and love enable them to weather the storms we all have to face at different points in our life.� Supported by the Divine, who walks beside us and guides us, we are able to face and overcome our challenges.
The Divine is the source, as well as the inspiration for profound inner awakening. Building on this wisdom from the time of our youth is a sure way of facing life squarely.
However, this is possible only by a close connection with the congregation and wisdom of the Guru. This is the place where we are motivated and inspired to enrich ourselves with the love and virtues of the Divine.
Etymology: From Sanskrit preeti (pleasure, love).
