When we invest our emotions in this materialistic and mortal world, we rarely receive lasting energy in return. Instead, we often feel unbalanced, depending on the reactions we get from the outer world. However, Guru Maharaj Ji rejuvenates our understanding through Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teaching: "Ram Kaho Chitt Laye", meaning we should direct our chit (emotions and attention) only towards God.
We must live on this earth, fulfilling all our roles and responsibilities, but we should not become emotionally attached to this transient world. All our emotions should be offered to God. In return, God will certainly bless the soul to walk a better path, live a better life, and form a deep and lasting bond with the Divine.
Most of us face life's challenges primarily due to emotional imbalance. But if, from the beginning, we train ourselves to present all our emotions to God alone, we will live a more stable, peaceful, and positive life—one where energy grows daily, negativity fades, and happiness becomes our natural state.
