Shri Guru Arjan says that when we seek the divine wisdom and self-awareness, we get all the desired fruits through the eternal success of breathing through Universal Consciousness. While playing with the fire of ignorance, the Art of Ascendancy gives the shield of truth, tolerance and contentment.

On this path of fire, we cross the trances of ignorance by having the flame of love in the eyes, peace in the mind, dwelling of the heart on clarity and purity of thought; drinking and distributing the water of life while serving all. Thus, the water of life is present in His Name or word since His very Own Will through Word creates Mother Nature, the Creation.

Thus, our life, the journey is filled with truth and compassion through His Grace that it is so glorified that all the days and months are blissful. Our lives then become ever-ascending, glowing with light that eyes of wisdom can see. This Path and Art of Ascendancy or soul evolution gives us, the seekers, blessings as coming through His Grace.

Now, the concept of Grace is not just a presentation of strong logics, our proving how right we are. Then what is it? The simple example is that action has reaction as the activity has reactivity. Now, the Soul and even the Spirit do not participate in the action – reaction and activity – reactivity. These are mental activities in which the soul or the spirit does not play any role as the stage does not participate in the show or a drama.

To clarify it for getting what we deserve we sow the seeds without greed because what greed makes is that it breeds more greed. So, we even need to learn how to pray.

When we pray we learn to use all of our body, mind, heart and soul holistically or spiritually. Thus, slowly, we learn to use both Critical and Creative intelligence. It is the beauty of creativity that is a dynamic, complex and multidimensional process, which we cannot confine to any special time; place, medium and person. Conceptual clarity and agreement is, therefore, lacking among authorities with regard to its nature and definition.

The example of an elephant is there–this much is sure. While considering it merely by knowledge or intellect, we may think as if the blind humans touching the different parts of the elephant. Thus, and then feeling and describing it to one another–the parts of the body of the elephant as a complete identity, say the tail as a rope, the legs as the pillars and so on. So, some facts we agree among ourselves, on others we cannot even understand what each is trying to tell the other, but it is precisely this amorphousness, which is the elephant creativity.

It implies from the above that the meaning of creativity, like that of Love, Learning and Emotions, we cannot adequately boil down into one simple statement. Creativity is an infinite phenomenon and a person can be creative in an endless number of ways toward acquiring the level of a genius. You see, the creative people make a considerable contribution towards Art and Literature, Philosophy and Religion, Science and Technology, Industry and Commerce, natural inputs and outputs like agricultural, artificial developments like transportation, social theories for living and so many others.

The ancient form of creativity was in the form of religion, mysticism, parables and symbols, which if one starts to comprehend, starts the making of a genius within from self, on a spiritual to a social level. You see, it is as easy as one believes and as difficult as one thinks, is not it?  So, what we do in our prayer, we seek. We hope for the best and seek it. Seeking is not desire, but living in the present and getting the results in mind as if the super activity of it is that which follows the Theory of Relativity. We seek light and matter follows, but if we seek matter we lose light.

That is why we never desire for material gains, as we may lose the light that shows us the Path that our conscience follows. In nutshell, we seek light so that we may reap fruits without good actions, as light converts itself into matter after some time. This very time "may" vary and thus this road is the difficult one, but always ends up the best possible that the light can give, including matter, the material side of it, the possessions. Thus, we now understand what seeking light  is and also what we desire when we want "matter"  not light. Let us seek and spread light.

When we seek light, wisdom, then the negative thoughts cannot enter into our mind. When we seek material gains we breed desires that corrupt our knowledge and thus good thoughts are not invited by mind. So, just seeking wisdom invites good thoughts. How we seek is that we use our knowledge to satisfy that what we have is good if we use it, otherwise seeks goods may even spoil what we have. Knowledge we have, but wisdom gives the joy of it, so no bad thoughts. It is a obstacle accepted as challenge accepted for greater opportunities that makes us strong enough to make our mind a better place, is not it. Thanks!
