Divine Control - Does FREE WILL Exist?

Satpal Singh reflects on the concept of individual control (free will) or divine control (Hukam - destiny). Using the shabadh Akhan Jor Chuppai Neh Jor from Japji Sahib.

Wahe Guru! Wahe Guru! I needed to hear all of this. Diving timing, indeed! I value your videos very much. I've been chanting Japji, mostly consistently, for a bit over a year. It has changed me. The insights you share, along with Gurbani Whiteboards channel, consistenty blow apart my old thinking and reveal beautiful new gems. It's a ride, indeed!

[@hardeepkaur5980]

I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR NANAK NAAM FOR TEACHINGS.

[@clearaccessprocess6409]

..this is a perfect description of the non-dualism of the SGGS. When I read in SGGS, what I see, hear, feel when the word 'Guru' is written is: Awareness. We are Awareness experiencing Itself.

[@yeeyee2278]

I have been raised Catholic and have never liked it, I have always had issue with the concept of how it views the separation between the creation and the creator. I have always believed that everything/the creation IS the creator. I am very happy to find a religion that believes the same way, I am going to look more into it, thank you!

[@HarpreetSingh-ym1iv]

Sat sri akal Singh Ji I am a school student and i have a group of 5-6 people who insult me everyday , This is happening from a year now . I started talking less and now they mock me saying I'm a depressed soul . I went through the path of gurbani and Guruji taught to never be against anyone , So while doing my ardas i remember everyone (including them) . I cannot stop talking to them because they will tease me even more . I even had a crush on a girl and she rejected me so they got another reason , They call me a loser . One day i went to guruji with a request to help me , But that day the hukumnama was that we should accept everything . What should i do Khalsa Ji ?

[@Matthewsmum]

Harpreet Singh Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh veer ji. You have taken a Hukamnama that told you about acceptans. Try to see that the people who are insulting you are also characters played by God, I find that this helps me in difficult situations. Is there someone at the school you can talk to who can get them to stop? How old are you? Can you get parents involved?

[@kirandeepkaur924]

I hope this helps you in someway... if it is ‘insults’ then i am assuming it is just verbal. If someone is being horrible to you, i don’t think you should simply accept it and be hurt by it- no one deserves that. I think this may be a good opportunity to help strengthen your mind and *understanding* Gurbani will most definitely help with that. Secondly i would suggest taking up some type of sports/ exercise as this will increase your confidence. A strong/ healthy mind and body will help you in this situation and in your future life.

[@ritiksingh440]

[@shreyasreenath9197]

Actually what is in our control ? I still didn't understand , if a Person shines in his career , is it because God played with this toy to shine in his career or is it because of that persons hard work ? Which way is correct ?

[@shreyasreenath9197]

If a Person gets a passion to be sthg in life is that passion given by God Or is it because of past life karma.

Q. What is under our control? Ans: Well, if I didnt make me & will not wish to kill me ever, then the control over everything & everyone has to be The One God Creator, not Any Other Anywhere has such infinite & unlimited power authority control. Proof please? Ans: Guru Arjun, P77, " ਕਰਮ ਸੁਕਰਮ ਕਰਾੲੇ ਅਾਪੇ ਿੲਸੁ ਜੰਤੈ ਵਸਿ ਕਿਛੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ " deeds actions causes are instigated and done by The Lord Himself, the whole world population of 7.5 billion have absolutely no power or control in themselves."! Hard to believe even thinking this a billion x billion but its True 100%. Again I have quoted Gurbani to prove you wrong & if you accept Gurbani & wish to be The Guru's Sikh then accept what is written &:stated by The Guru without any buts opposition doubt or judgement. The "ape beej aape khaye" means The Lord Himself sows what is going to be on your plate not "you" and that is what The Lord will make "you eat". The word "aape" denotes God Himself not "you" go think it over or Gurbani is false which it is Not!!!!

[@priscilla2062]

Thank you for this powerful talk. It has clarified a lot to me. But I have again a question: When you talk about God having fun in his play, I believe it but It also makes me sick inside the idea of a God having fun in our pain and misery, many people live a life of hell, how would they feel hearing it's all God having a big laugh. Anyway, thank you again. lots of love.

[@rekhacheema69]

I believe the pain is there for a reason and is needed for the future to pan out in a certain way. Any form of misery is a short term reaction for a greater purpose, same with joy. When u begin to understand and focus on how insignificant these feelings are then it will surely lead you to inner contentment/satisfaction. The path to this internal bliss requires the individual to focus a lot on practising mental control. Anyone who watches this video and feels upset that God is 'playing' 'them' is at a mental state which conflicts the true essence of reality.

[@priscilla2062]

@@rekhacheema69 , beautiful words of wisdom , and I entirely agree with you, however tell them to someone going through hell, like the loss of a beloved one or not knowing when it will be your next meal, is a different story. But I know what you mean, and you are right. Ware Guru

[@gurjotsinghchadha]

In case we forgot that God is beyond Fun, Pain or miseries. Those words are used in context to make it possible for the human to understand. The Idea of what we are seeing now is a play is to make people understand the concept of God. Like Guru Nanak said "The world is a Drama staged in a dream" And what do we got to understand from it when he says the world is a drama, the concept of drama is created by human. We don't need to tell a human what a drama is but from it we can tell him that the world is like a drama because it's script is written to which we call destiny, everyone is playing their role and the director and producer of this Drama is God Okay, next "Staged in a Dream" Every human know what's a dream we don't need to tell one. But we can tell him that the world is staged like a drama in a dream because dreams are temporary like our world. Crux : The world is a temporary play To explain something to a human you have to explain it from a Human's eye I hope this helps God Bless 💐😇🙏

[@priscilla2062]

@@gurjotsinghchadha quite complex, but it does help, Thank you. Ware Guru

[@Xx0Mystic0xX]

@@priscilla2062 All pain is a result of Karam, previous actions. Doesnt matter what form you take, child, man, woman. You reap what you sow from your previous lives. Remember though that gurbani teaches that there is no distinction between pain and pleasure. This world is like rehab for us. We are drug addicts addicted to maya. If we kick the habit and accept the Guru, then Naam will carry us back home. Like Rehras sahib tell us, without pain there would be no desire or remembrance of Waheguru. Good or bad is perspective, accept the hukam and realise it is for your benefit.
