Honey22 ji,
Beatiful shabad you posted from fifth master. He didn't just said it, but lived by it accepting Lord's will saying
ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਲਾਗੈ ਮੀਠਾ ॥
His Will seems sweet to me.ਪੰਨਾ 896, ਸਤਰ 4
Staying in 'Bhana' or 'raza' is one of major tenat of sikhi. That is one the reason a sikh would never hesitate from martyrdom (not for greed of heaven or virgins but acceptance of His will) , sikh would never lose control in face of death or pain bacause a sikh accepts His will and believe what is suppose to happen, will happen. This shabad and many more (maybe over hundreds) shabad's in Gurbani showed Lord's total control, even over our thoughts. Sikhi totally support 100% pre-destiny. This needs another thread as there is so much to discuss (if somebody want to). But does that mean I should sleep off every morning waiting for Guru to wake me up and put whole bani in my mind? I don't think so.
After shaheedi of fifth master (accepting Lord's will like a sweet), sixth master started wearing arms. This is another aspect of sikhi. Staying in 'Bhana' is must for a sikh, so a sikh should happily accept Lord's will, but concept of staying in 'bhana' is not to make sikh lazy or coward waiting for Lord to send help. Lord is not going to break His own laws of nature to send special help for us, because we believe in guru's words 100%, but don't feel like living what guru told us.
Some of my sikh brethern have done tremendous effort starting this website to discuss sikh matters. You suppose they should have sit home waiting for Lord to send cheque to start sikhi website.
Honey22 ji,
i don't think there is much to discuss. You posted this shabad from fifth master to answer my question. Actually this shabad can be posted to answer any question. I can tell my parents I failed my year in university because it was His wish. I can eat off all my roommats' stuff in fridge blaming it on Lord.
We must accept absolute control of Lord (
me specially) over our thoughts and lives, but not to make excuse to avoid making any effort.
Guru Rakha.

Wow.
There is only One Karta Purkh.:happy: If He dosn't Will and He doesn't Do, human body(whom you may think is seprate) cant take another breath.
Checks also come from God Himself, and He is the Doer-There is no second.
Your Friends are no seprate entities from Him. It is Him doing everything. No body can make any effort if He doesnt Do.

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:
You are the True Creator, my Lord and Master.
Whatever pleases You comes to pass. As You give, so do we receive. ||1||Pause||
All belong to You, all meditate on you.
Those who are blessed with Your Mercy obtain the Jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
The Gurmukhs obtain it, and the self-willed manmukhs lose it.
You Yourself separate them from Yourself, and You Yourself reunite with them again. ||1||
You are the River of Life; all are within You.
There is no one except You.
All living beings are Your playthings.
The separated ones meet, and by great good fortune, those suffering in separation are reunited once again. ||2||
They alone understand, whom You inspire to understand;
they continually chant and repeat the Lord's Praises.
Those who serve You find peace.
They are intuitively absorbed into the Lord's Name. ||3||
You Yourself are the Creator. Everything that happens is by Your Doing.
There is no one except You.
You created the creation; You behold it and understand it.
O servant Nanak, the Lord is revealed through the Gurmukh, the Living Expression of the Guru's Word. ||4||2||

Raag Maajh, Ashtapadees: First Mehl, First House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
By His Command, all are attuned to the Word of the Shabad,
and all are called to the Mansion of His Presence, the True Court of the Lord.
O my True Lord and Master, Merciful to the meek, my mind is pleased and appeased by the Truth. ||1||
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who are adorned with the Word of the Shabad.
The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, is forever the Giver of Peace. Through the Guru's Teachings, it dwells in the mind. ||1||Pause||
No one is mine, and I am no one else's.
The True Lord and Master of the three worlds is mine.
Acting in egotism, so very many have died. After making mistakes, they later repent and regret. ||2||
Those who recognize the Hukam of the Lord's Command chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are glorified with the Naam.
Everyone's account is kept in the True Court, and through the Beauty of the Naam, they are saved. ||3||
The self-willed manmukhs are deluded; they find no place of rest.
Bound and gagged at Death's Door, they are brutally beaten.
Without the Name, there are no companions or friends. Liberation comes only by meditating on the Naam. ||4||
The false shaaktas, the faithless cynics, do not like the Truth.
Bound by duality, they come and go in reincarnation.
No one can erase pre-recorded destiny; the Gurmukhs are liberated. ||5||
In this world of her parents' house, the young bride did not know her Husband.
Through falsehood, she has been separated from Him, and she cries out in misery.
Defrauded by demerits, she does not find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. But through virtuous actions, her demerits are forgiven. ||6||
She, who knows her Beloved in her parents' house,
as Gurmukh, comes to understand the essence of reality; she contemplates her Lord.
Her comings and goings cease, and she is absorbed in the True Name. ||7||
The Gurmukhs understand and describe the Indescribable.
True is our Lord and Master; He loves the Truth.
Nanak offers this true prayer: singing His Glorious Praises, I merge with the True One. ||8||1||
No excuses Lalihayer Ji, no excuses, THIS IS ALL IS HIS PRAISE- ONE AND ONLY ONE.

Bhairao, Fourth Mehl:
All hearts are Yours, Lord; You are in all.
There is nothing at all except You. ||1||
O my mind, meditate on the Lord, the Giver of peace.
I praise You, O Lord God, You are my Father. ||1||Pause||
Wherever I look, I see only the Lord God.
All are under Your control; there is no other at all. ||2||
O Lord, when it is Your Will to save someone,
then nothing can threaten him. ||3||
You are totally pervading and permeating the waters, the lands, the skies and all places.
Servant Nanak meditates on the Ever-present Lord. ||4||4||
No need to give emails out, I dont need it- Guru Mere Sang Sadaa Hai Naalay.
He has given us this medium for conversation in which you think your friends have invested a lot of THEIR money and THEIT time- let us USE this one.
Thanks
