Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tejwant Singh" data-source="post: 6524" data-attributes="member: 138">Re: Anand Sahib: 20th Pauri: My understandingIs being Nirmal a destination, the last stop of the journey or the journey itself?? Nirmal as mentioned beautifully by Amarpal Veer ji is : free from filth or dirt or impurities, clear, clean, stainless, unsullied, bright, sinless, virtuous.  What the above means is that what/whoever is Nirmal has the tendency to get dirty. Hence it can not be a destination. We wash our dirty clothes so that we can wear the clean ones which also eventually get dirty to be washed again. This inner washing machine never ceases to churn. In order to wash the dirt within we have to be aware of its existence,acknowledge it, accept the need to cleanse the nooks of our conscious. and then with the detergent called NAAM -( Naam japnah, Kirat Karni, Vand kei chaknah) -, we rub our conscious in it, knowing very well that it is a work in progress. It is something to strive for all the time. To be Nirmal for me is a constant inner tug of war which I do win occasionally and with time and perseverance I hope to increase the percentage in my favor. I am still learning how to drive this Gurmat Vehicle, not unconsciously or automatically but every move seems like the first one. Every move is a deliberate motion to get it right. To keep it on the right side of the traffic. Not to cross the Red light. I thank Vaheguru for having given me  room in HIS washing machine which quite often has been put on 'heavy stains' cycle.  Only by tumbling I hope to become Nirmal.  For a while atleast. Tejwant</blockquote>
