I agree with the answer above.
My answer from another angle:
God is within each entity not a separate entity.
One gets what one deserves based on one’s deeds.
We must work for what we really want.
ਜੇਹਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲੁਣੈ ਕਰਮਾ ਸੰਦੜਾ ਖੇਤੁ ॥ (ਮ:੫, ਪੰ:੧੩੩)
Whatever you so , so shall you reap, this land is produces based on one’s deeds.
ਬੀਜੇ ਬਿਖੁ ਮੰਗੈ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਵੇਖਹੁ ਏਹੁ ਨਿਆਉ ॥੨॥ (ਮ:੨, ਪੰ:੪੭੪)
Sowing poison and expecting AMRIT as a result, is not the just expectation.
ਨਰ ਚਾਹਤ ਕਛੁ ਅਉਰ ਅਉਰੈ ਕੀ ਅਉਰੈ ਭਈ ॥ ਚਿਤਵਤ ਰਹਿਓ ਠਗਉਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਫਾਸੀ ਗਲਿ ਪਰੀ ॥੩੮॥ AGGS 1428
Nar Chahat Kach Aur Aurai Ki Aurai Bhai || Chitavat Rehio Thagour Nanak Fasi Gal Pari ||38||
One wishes for something, but something different happens. Nanak says one plots to deceive others, but places the noose around own neck instead. Worldly temptations are never fulfilled. After one, another crops up. One never gets contentment in the world. The only way to fulfill the worldly temptations is to control them by adopting and assimilating the Virtues of the God with their consciousness. God has made arrangements in advance to fulfill our daily requirements. We need to work for them. People beg for children from God but God has provided them as well in advance. If for some reason there is a defect in the body, one should seek treatment for it. If the defect cannot be treated then accept it as Will of the God (Hukam) and live with it happily. We will then never ask God Why me? And will never try to bribe God or make business dealings (Sukhna Sukhni). We should be asking for God’s blessing in the form of Virtues (Naam), and contentment.
ਵਿਣੁ ਤੁਧੁ ਹੋਰੁ ਜਿ ਮੰਗਣਾ ਸਿਰਿ ਦੁਖਾ ਕੈ ਦੁਖ ॥ ਦੇਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੀਆ ਉਤਰੈ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਭੁਖ ॥ AGGS 958
Vin Tudh Hor J Mangana Sir Dukha Kai Dukh || Deh Naam Santokhia Otarai Mann Ki Bhukh ||
To ask for any other than You God is the most miserable of miseries. Please bless me with Your Virtues (Naam), and make me contented so that the hunger of my mind (Mann) for worldly desires is satisfied.
Thank you for this informative answer!
ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ਰ ਜੀ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਵਸਤ ਲਈ ਪੂਰੀ ਤੜਪ ਜਾਣ ਕੇ ਹਰ ਇੱਛਾ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।ਪਰ ਗੁਰਮਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿਰਫ ਸੱਚ ਦੀ ਭੁੱਖ ਹੀ ਪਰਵਾਨ ਹੈ।????????
I only add this, GOD GIVE US WHAT GOD IS. God of Guru Nanak is SHABAD , WHOLE OF SGGSJI, DIVINE WISDOM, TREASURE OF GODLY VIRTUES. As DR. Kala Singhji wrote WINN TUD HORE JE MANGNA SIRR DUKHAN KE DUKH meaning praying for anything else, other than DIVINE WISDOM simply leads to ignorance, pain and suffering. Our focus when performing religious actions be praying for DIVINE WISDOM .
