I am blind, totally blind, entangled in corruption and poison. How can I walk on the Guru's Path?

Life Of Guru Nanak: Chapter IX
Life Of Guru Nanak: Chapter IX: "One day Mardana took it into his head to ask the Guru to explain the cause of the Saiyidpur massacre. and said, 'Sir, some Pathans have done wrong; but why have so many been killed on their account?' The Guru pointed out a tree, and told Mardana to go and sleep under it. When he awoke, the Guru would give him an answer. Mardana accordingly went and lay down to sleep under the tree. A drop of honey fell on his naked breast. As he slept, ants came to drink it, and the sleeper half unconsciously crushed them to death with his hand. The Guru asked him on awaking what he had done. He replied
[1. Ohi, ohi! There is a pun on the word ohi. It means, Alas! and He (God) is.
2. �sa Ashtapadi.]
{p. 119}
that one insect had bitten him, and so he had killed them all. The Guru replied, 'It is in that very way the people of Saiyidpur were killed.' Upon this Mardana fell at his feet, and the remnant of the inhabitants of Saiyidpur became his disciples.
After this the Guru returned to the Emperor's camp with the object of obtaining another interview with him. He visited the prison and sang hymns for the prisoners whose treatment he deplored. Under the influence of such feelings he composed the following:--
Babar ruled over Khurasan and hath terrified Hindustan.
The Creator taketh no blame to Himself; it was Death disguised as a Mughal who made war on us.
When there was such slaughter and lamentation, didst not Thou, O God, feel pain?
Creator, Thou belongest to all.
If a tyrant slay a tyrant, one is not angry
But if a ravening lion fall on a herd, its master[1] should show his manliness.
The dogs of Lodi[2] have spoiled the priceless inheritance; when they are dead no one will regard them.
O God, Thou Thyself joinest and Thou Thyself separatest--lo! this is Thy greatness.
If any one give himself a great name and enjoy himself to his heart's content,
In God's view he is as a worm which nibbleth corn
But he who while alive is dead, may gain something, "
i foudn this, its very similar to the accounts and the pple that must be wondering and questions bout what happended in Asia wit the Tsunami
