Dear Moderator.

something has been troubling me for a while, i;ve tried getting passes, and I cant, I need an answer.

I am told, and I beleive, that nothing in this world or anywhere, happens without the order of God (Hukmay Andhar Sabh Ko, Bahaar Hukam na koi)

Everyone lives within his order, outside is no one, to me this measn everything is done by the creator as per his order. I.e. I am writing this email under is order??

then further on the Jap Ji Sahib says "Appay Beej, Appay hi Khao" i.e. you reep what you sew.

how can i be reeping what I sew, when god is making me do this etc?? under his order?

do we really have free will, or is this just god??

to further my confusion - Guru Nanak in 9th form says "Chintha Tan ki keejiye, jeh anhoni hoi" you should only worry, if something (honi)happens to you that is not supposed to. i.e. dont worry about anything, everything is within his will.

"Hukami Rajai Challna" be contempt in his will

yet ""Appay Beej, Appay hi Khao" i.e. you reep what you sew.

Don't blame your weaknesses on God's Will. We all have ego and intuition. If we are living in our ego, we cannot hear God's Will. If we are living in our intuition we can hear and then OBEY God's Will. This doesn't not mean that we sit around and wait for something to happen to us or for us, no...we listen through our intuition and then act accordingly...making that important phone call, making a decision or whatever. Japji talks about listening and obeying, but the key is quieting the ego so we can truly hear from our intuition. I hope this was helpful. GTKK
