Perspective on Sin & Virtue.
****

“... Magar kisi kaam ka sinful {paaproop} ya virtuous {punyaroop} hona Khuda ke sambandh mein samajhna chahiye. Jis baath se Khuda Khush ho, wah punyaroop hai aur jisse Wah Nakhush ho, paaproop hai.... Satsangiyon ko yeh privilege {visheshadhikaar} hai ki Sant Satguru se dariyafth kar sakte hain ki Kul Maalik ko kya pasand ya napasand hai. Iske muthabik karawayi karni chahiye. Sar Bachan mein Kaha hua hai:
“Guru Aagya se jo shish karayi, so karthuth bhakti phal deyi.”
Paanch baathen karne ke liye Hidayath hai:
{1} Sumiran, {2} Dhyan, {3} Bhajan, {4} Seva, {5} Satsang.
Darasal yeh paanchon baathen ek hee cheez hain....”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, Bachan No. 147, Page 404.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“... But we should construe an act as being sinful or virtuous in the context of God. If something pleases God, it is virtuous and what displeases Him, is a sin.... Satsangis have the privilege of being able to enquire from the Grand Master regarding what the Supreme Lord Likes and Dislikes. One should act by this. It says in the {holy} Sar Bachan:
“Whatever the disciple does with the Guru’s Permission, that deed gives one spiritual fruition.”
Five performances have been decreed:
{1} Sumiran, {2} Contemplation, {3} Meditation, {4} Seva, {5} Satsang.
Actually, all these five things are the same....”
