In my mind, a yearning for the Divine has welled up.
The Perfect Guru has implanted the Naam of the Divine within me; I have found the Divine as I have obtained the Naam of the Divine. -Guru Ram Das Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 82
Message: As we become conscious of the Divine presence in and around us, there wells up a yearning to know more about Him and His role. This yearning helps us discover what is most treasured and transformative in human existence � the understanding that the Divine is the giver of all of life; that His wisdom is realized through His grace and that He helps define the real from the illusion.
Understanding Divine grace through and within our everyday experiences, we come to a new sense of who we are. We may find ourselves sometimes directionless and at other times overloaded. But this seeking is a treasure hunt where everyone wins. No one has all the answers. The self-centred may think they do.
Hence, attending the congregation of the Guru-centred persons plays a big role. The divine understanding of Gurbani received from this association enables us to stay attuned to the Divine, all the time.
