The Path of Devotion - Mane Ki Gat

Japji Sahib with Bhai Baljit Singh

Why is it that two different people could be doing the exact same outward action and reach a completely different spiritual state? Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells us that this path is all about devotion and standing at the door of Vaheguru (God) whilst being imbued. It's being in a state of longing, surrender and love which takes us to a state of devotion. The path is devotion. That is the way that you're going to get through those doors to Vaheguru and when somebody is on that path, you can never describe where they are internally.

Bhai Baljit Singh shares the true story of when Bhai Mardana Ji was hypnotised by Noor Shah to believe he was a ram to exemplify the difference between genuine devotion and obtaining power for ill intentions.
