Hukam Rajaayi Chalna .....

"kiv sachiara hovayi - kiv koodhai tutay paal
 Hukam rajaayi chalnaa Nanak likheya naal"
                                              (Japuji Shaib)


How can we become ‘Truthful’ - How can the veil of delusion or illusion be broken?
Nanak says   staying in (Lord's) Hukam and living according to his Raza (will).

After reading or listening to this verse from the Gurubani, instantly a question arises in mind that how can we know the Lord's will?
How do we know what is His Hukam (Command) and Raza - His wish?
The answer is also found in Gurubani and other religious texts.
For example, in Sukhmani Sahib, Guru Arjun Dev, while describing the qualities of a Saint, writes:

                       "Jo hoaa – hovat so jaanay
                        Prabh apanay ka huqam pachhanay"

 The saints believe that
"Whatever happened was supposed to happen that way.
They understand that it was the Lord's command”.

Because nothing is contrary to the command of the Lord or the rules made by Him.

We often think that " I wish it did not happen the way it happened" and become upset, angry or very sad.

But the Bhaktas -the devotees, in every situation, accept it by believing "whatever was supposed to happen, happened"

If we think deeply, we can have only two options when something happens:

1. Replace whatever has happened with the way you wanted it to happen - according to your wish.
2. Or, change your thoughts - the idea that "I wish it did not happen this way".

Can the past events be changed?
Can we change the incidents that have already happened by thinking over and over: “I wish it did not happen this way”?

We know this is not possible.
But the desire - our thoughts can be changed.

In reality, we have only two choices:
Either keep suffering by thinking over and over "I wish it did not happen like that"
Or change our thoughts - by accepting that "whatever happened - was supposed to happen".


Instead of blaming others or ourselves, the situation or circumstances - willingly accepting it and keep moving forward with life in a normal way with intuitive sense is the key to live a peaceful life.
