Bal Rehal

This is the shabad which bhagat Ji recited at that time. I think the sakhi itself is in the Guru Nank Janam sakhi written by Bhai Bala. I am not sure, but I think this shabad is not included in the SGGS. The sakhi goes something like the pundits who were with Naamdev were jealous of Bhagat Naandev Ji. So they planned a clever way to get him killed (indirectly) as there was a well near a certain Mandhir. They invited him to a rein swai where they would perform all night kirtan at this mandhir. There was a haunted well nearby - whoever approached it got killed - therefore it was out of use. Some time into the kirtan, the Pundits started saying they were thirsty. No one would volunteer to go to the haunted well to fetch water. Bhagat Naamdev was sent. When he went there, he saw a huge scary ghosty figure shoot out to stop him from fetching water. However Bhagat Ji saw Parmatmas roop in everyone. Therefore he started to sing this shabad - asking God why he was appearing to him in this dreadful form. The scary roop changed into the image of God which he had fixed in his mind. The evil pundits were thus ashamed. Their plan to kill bhagat Ji did not work. Was a human eyeball....very huge... but amazingly I was not scared. It was surrounded by some warm comforting light which just gives you the feeling it is not evil. (as some things which are evil can be sensed right away)

I don't quite know why this had happened but I had a dream after i was reading about the third eye. I am looking at a huge eyeball ..... just eyeball hanging about in the air. Then I get a message like I need to join my hands and ask for kirpa...... The name waheguru gets spelled in Punjabi in the air....(by me using my finger under the guidance of this power) and I pick that air up and put it on my forehead and pray ..... kirpa karo..... So eyeballs and eyes are not necessarily evil... Also the brain will portray to us what we have been thinking about. So if you concentrate on the eyes and shapes.... they will start to distract you.... They will start to entertain you and you will see good shapes and some evil too... However we have to remember that there is good in everything even evil. When Baghat Naamdev was sent to the mandhir which was believed to be inhabited by a deadly spirit - he imagine it to be God and the spirit did change into God to give him darshan. All the pandits were amazed. There is a particular shabad which Bhagat Ji said at that time. Therefore we need to train ourselves too to look for good even in evil. We are never quite alone, I suppose even when we think we are sitting alone in a room. Other entities are around us watching us. With simran as we become more aware or more enlightened (used for purposes of expression) then it is possible we can sense or see these other entities as eyes. It is like when we enter a roomful of people we will feel all their eyes on us. However after some time we forget about it and start to concentrate on ourselves. Perhaps as "aware" people we will keep seeing these things and eyes around us ... and we will just get used to it as time passes. Its just that we have spent so much time in ignorance and maya that we don't know how it feels to be pure and nearer to God's creation, which is vast and unlimited.

Why do I feel like an alien when I hear the phrase ... Mohe pardesan dhuur te ayi

I may not be totally right, but rough calculation on my part... recommends you to try to stick to this routine for at least 6 months. (for added and best benefits)All kirpa comes from Guru Ji... but don't let it just go after the first 40 days.. Try to get the courage and work against all odds to get going again.

SGGS Ang 409... lovely shabad explaining his hukam to us and how to stay away from worldly things and yet still live in the world. ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ One Universal Creator God.

Why do you specifically seek this type of info. Perhaps if we know then you can be given help specific to your case. A good general read on understanding the nature of lust is available on a Christian website. The lessons on defeating lust are much similar in Sikhism too. The story of Bhai Joga Singh is a good example of how Guru Ji gives a person the ability to stand up to these 5 thieves which creep upon the human being. There are many lines in Gurbani which make us aware of these five vices which are kaam, karodh, lobh moh and ahankaar. It is sadh sangat and The true Guru who can keep you safe from these vices. One of these vices is Kaam or lust. Here is the sakhi of Bhai joga singh A Christian website which explains how to overcome lust. http://www.overcoming-lust.com/articles/fourteen-means-overcoming-lust/ More lines from Guru Granth Sahib Ji will take some time to be posted on here.

The best example to answer this question is what happened to Ravan. he had great kamayi which got ruined by Kaam and he lost everything including his soul, ten heads and 100 sons.
