Guru Nanak Daata Baksh Lai
Baba Nanak Baksh Lai
ne day I was busy for quite some time in writing down all my personal
accounts of the last few months and in filing the relevant receipts.
When I went into the holy presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at the time of my evening prayer and got immersed in Nam Simran I was blessed with a revealing vision.
Baba Harnam Singh Ji Maharaj asked me “You spent most of the day today in account keeping. You ask for the details of accounts from every one you deal with. If you are asked to furnish the accounts of this birth of yours?” (I was shaken). “Not only of this birth if the whole account of all your previous births is called for, what shall happen to you?,” He added. I was totally shaken and realised that everyone is accountable for one’s deeds, good or bad. Every one is answerable for one’s sins to God. One has to render a detailed account of all the deeds. And how perfect would be the accountability and dispensation of justice in the highest Court of Truth and nothing but the Truth.
Suddenly I remembered the holy words of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj:
‘Saadhi Hasaab Naal Nahin Mukini
Hasaab Naal Saadhi Poori Nahin Paini’
We can never be saved on the basis of our accounts, deeds. And thereafter, I suddenly saw my own worshipful father standing with folded hands in utmost humility with a prayer rising deep from his soul.

I then fully understood the significance of this great spiritual prescription, a wonderful remedy for the dreadful malady of one’s deeds from which none can escape.
Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's infinite mercy knows no limits. Guru Nanak forgives the greatest sinners. The all compassionate Lord Guru Nanak did not ask Kauda, Sajjan, Leper of Dipalpur, and so many others to render their accounts.
This prayer uplifts every aspirant into the orbit of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's infinite Grace. It rescues every one from the clutches of one’s accounts. I stood behind my father and prayed to Sri Guru Nanak Sahib, the most compassionate Lord, for His mercy. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's very nature is mercy and compassion.
Namo Namo Namo Namo Net Net Net Hai
Baba Harnam Singh Ji Maharaj smiled and the vision was over.
Sukh Nahi Fun Dooey Tiey
Aapey Baksh Laye Prabh Saacha
Aapey Baksh Milawanyia
Sri Guru Amar Das Ji says-
Should the Lord
demand an account of one’s deeds
Who can render it to the satisfaction of the Lord.
Bliss can never be attained on the basis of one’s accounts
Only the Lord through His Grace forgives
and bestows the Bliss of union with Him.

It is an all out petition of Mercy to the all Merciful Lord Guru Nanak. And this soulful petition works wonders, works miracles.
