7. AMRIT TODAY? NEEDED OR NOT??

8. If Guru Gobind Singh ji took Amrit themselves, is that not a clear indication that we should do the same? We like to say we are the sons and daughters of Guru Gobind Singh ji, but shouldn’t we take the FIRST step to have the honour to call them our father. By taking Amrit, obtaining Naam and following Rehit one has the right to call themselves the child of Guru Gobind Singh ji. NOT prior to that.

9. ਜਉ ਤਉ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਖੇਲਣ ਕਾ ਚਾਉ ॥ If you desire to play this game of love with Me, ਸਿਰੁ ਧਰਿ ਤਲੀ ਗਲੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਆਉ ॥ then step onto My Path with your head in hand. ਇਤੁ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪੈਰੁ ਧਰੀਜੈ ॥ When you place your feet on this Path. ਸਿਰੁ ਦੀਜੈ ਕਾਣਿ ਨ ਕੀਜੈ ॥੨੦॥ give Me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion. ||20|| Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Salok Vaaraan Thay Vadheek on Ang 1410 GURBANI SAYS

10. ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਮੁਨਿ ਜਨ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਖੋਜਦੇ ਸੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ The angelic beings and the silent sages search for the Ambrosial Nectar; this Amrit is obtained from the Guru. ਪਾਇਆ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਗੁਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕੀਨੀ ਸਚਾ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਆ ॥ This Amrit is obtained, when the Guru grants His Grace; He enshrines the True Lord within the mind. ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਸਭਿ ਤੁਧੁ ਉਪਾਏ ਇਕਿ ਵੇਖਿ ਪਰਸਣਿ ਆਇਆ ॥ All living beings and creatures were created by You; only some come to see the Guru, and seek His blessing. ਲਬੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਚੂਕਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਭਲਾ ਭਾਇਆ ॥ Their greed, avarice and egotism are dispelled, and the True Guru seems sweet. ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਪਿ ਤੁਠਾ ਤਿਨਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧੩॥ Says Nanak, those with whom the Lord is pleased, obtain the Amrit, through the Guru. ||13|| Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Raamkalee on Ang 917
