Giani Jarnail singh “PK70 Ji..whay we dont miss HIM ?
imho we only "miss" one who we have forgotten ?? If He is there all the time..where got time to miss ?? my formula..remember (by not forgetting) all the time..not easy..bt very worthwhile...difficult..but well worth the effort..
Lucy ahmed” pk70, how can we miss someone who is always with us?
If someone we love and care is always with us, I think, the love is nothing but glowing, and blossoming every single moment.”
Giani Jarnail Singh Ji and Lucy Ahmed, pretty good views and enjoyable to read, with all due respect, you have no inkling what Guru says in the Shabad I quoted that inspired me to understand “missing”. Remembering, feeling close is very different than be in love with Him. Such love changes our outward behavior, making it very strange to others who observe us. Why I am saying this because “ koyee aakhe bhootna koyee kahe betala…” shabad describes picturesque situation Guru Nanak experienced. Did any of you have that experience? I didn’t. Were you ever laughed at because your attention was in His thoughts? I doubt. Did some one said like this to you or me? No. Words don’t bring experience, feelings like that do not surge with mere words unless undivided mind is set on it. This idea is supported by Guruji” Sach Karni De Paeeai DAR GHAR MEHL Pyaar” Sri Raag Mehla 1 (SGGS 18) In essence, it is the action/deeds which help to realize HIM”
Going crazy for Him, that is missing Him. Guru ji also says “ He is within us”, why was he(Guruji) crazy for Him by his own words when HE was within him E was within him HHH? That’s the point to understand and Guru ji’s love and his missing for Him. Why many shabadas are there on death? Why crying on death is ridiculed by Guru ji? As we say He is with us, why to cry when some one who is very dear to us, goes(dies) to Him? It is not easy to put in words, actually its super high experience but you just put in a few lame words that he is with us. Such statements have nothing to do with that experience of missing Him while being crazy for Him. Guru ji missed Him as he loved Him and he shared that experience with his followers, why his followers just stuck with this sentence” He is with us always”? And, say we remember Him always. Where is the pain of separation expressed in the Shabad in us? Did you feel like that ever? I didn’t, that is why I am sharing with you the plight of my heart. Guru ji keeps describing actually who is “Bourana” in His love, and here are we who just feel happy by saying simply” He is with us”. There is another strong word used by Guru ji” rang ratte” totally lost in Him” Only when you live that feeling of Him within, you will see how your outward behavior is changed exceedingly, and you will hear those kinds of comments (bhootna, betala)from people. If you are blended among them (I am also included in your category), why would you o and I get those comments? No chance. In reality we are starving for good compliments, praise or something like that. Something if said unlikable, we go down emotionally and our behavior gets changed. Did some one said “ bourana” to you and me? No is my answer. You will find your own statements have no bearing when in this very context Guru ji answers these questions in detail “why we don’t miss Him,”” how can we in reality go close to Him, how to find Him within” “ why cannot we see Him even when He is within and what are obstacles in our way.” Here is the Guru Shabad please enjoy and try to understand how to go to that high elevation Guru ji wants us to go

( In essence: Where is that place where You live, O Lord? What is that place called? Among all those places which is that secret one where you live, Where is that place I wander sadly in longing. Is there any one who can tell me about that.. || 1 || How can I cross over the world-ocean? It is not possible to die while living. ||)

Above are questions, and below are answers given in detail
In essence:“There is a door of pain to that place , and anger is the guard at it; hope and anxiety work like the two shutters to that. The moat around it is filled with Maya water-attraction as an obstacle; in this moat He resides in natural state of Truth. || 2 || O Lord, You have so many Names, I do not know the limit. One thing is sure that there is no other one equal to You. No need to say loudly about His qualities, it is better to say tuned to Him in mind because The Lord Himself knows and acts. || 3 || As long as there is hope and anxiety, how can anyone praise only the One Lord? If one in the midst of hope, remains indifferent to hope; then, Nanak says, one shall meet the One Lord. || 4 || This is the way to cross over the world-ocean and this is the way to remain dead while being alive. || 1 || Second Pause “||
