Waheguru dhan waheguru. Thanks veer ji for sharing as this is amazing what you wrote. May Waheguru keep you in chardikala 

I have a very interesting story to share from which we can learn about the Greatness of Sri Sukhmani Sahib.
This is Daas' own story. It had been just 2 weeks when I added Sukhmani Sahib to my Nitnem. I did one Paath every day. Though I didn't see any increase in my concentration during reading bani but was still determined to do it with pyaar because of the importance given to it by mahapurush like Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji, Sant Attar Singh Ji and Baba Nand Singh Ji. But soon due to a little bit added pressure of studies and Daas' ungrateful nature, I stopped doing it and instead did 2-3 small banis along with the mandatory Nitnem.
Soon, I started feeling dhendi kala. I felt so bad. I felt less chardikala than my initial days in Sikhi when I used to read only 5 mandatory Nitnem banis. I felt injustice because I hadn't done anything anti gurmat but still, just by leaving an extra bani and switching back to original Nitnem, I lost those chardikala days. 
I was sad. I didn't bother to read more bani and consider it an indication by Guru sahib to do more abhyaas. Instead, I kept doing an ardaas in a formal way (not from heart) asking guru sahib to give me those days back.
One day, I was having a random conversation with my parents and the topic of punjabi came up. I live in Delhi, India and here, punjabi is not taught in our schools. So, I converse with my parents in Hindi only (even today). My family often used to scold me for not conversing in Punjabi despite knowing it. My mother told me that one of her Hindu friends wanted to learn Punjabi. With a big yawn and through facial expressions, my face said I wasn't interested. But still she insisted me to listen to the story.
She told me that her friend's son (20 yrs) was suffering from wheat allergy since 3 years. They took him to the best of the doctors but he wasn't cured. They left no stone unturned and even went to deras of so called sants to give them mantars so that he could be cured. But everything went in vain. Fortunately, she also approached a Sikh babaji who instructed her to do Sukhmani Sahib da paath every day. On hearing this, her son said, "Why should I read the paath of these sikhs? We are Hindus and we don't need to do this"
To this, her mother replied, "Beta, we have gone everywhere else. What's the harm in trying this? ". After his mother's repeated requests, he agreed. They started reading Sukhmani sahib from Devnagari script (Hindi Lipi script) everyday. And, as we know, 
ਅਨਿਕ ਉਪਾਵੀ ਰੋਗੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
All sorts of remedies have not cured the disease
ਰੋਗੁ ਮਿਟੈ ਹਰਿ ਅਵਖਧੁ ਲਾਇ ॥
- the disease is cured only by giving the medicine of the Lord's Name.
... The lady's son was cured within a month and her happiness knew no bounds. They developed a lot of Shradhha for Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. They still read it everyday. 
I was moved by the story. Their gratefulness made me ashamed of my attitude towards my Guru. Being a Sikh, I blamed my Guru and they being a Hindu still thanked him everyday by devoting an hour of their day, praising him.
Their inspiring story motivated me to resume Sukhmani Sahib. And this time, the love with which I read this bani was much more than before. I didn't expect any fal (fruit,benefit) and just did it with a blind belief that it will help me get those chardikala days back and cure the disease of ungratefulness in this Akirtkanh. Without any surprise, those days returned. Some rehats which I struggled to follow like waking up at 2am, cold water Gurmat ishnaan, dietary bibek became relatively easier. And most importantly, the focus during Amrit Vela was far more than before.  I also realized a change in my behavior. If anyone disturbed me while doing Paath, I used to get mad at them after my paath was over. But now, I was calm, peaceful and smiling all the time. Random panktis would play like a tape in my mind and I used to sing them with love.
Indeed, Sukhmani Sahib is Sukhaan Di Mani!
ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
Waaho! Waaho! is the Bani, the Word, of the Formless Lord. There is no other as great as He is.
ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਬਸੈ ਸੁਨੈ ਲਾਇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ॥
One, within whose mind it abides, and who listens to it with love
ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਆਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਚੀਤਿ ॥
that humble person consciously remembers the Lord God.
ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਦੂਖੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੈ ॥
The pains of birth and death are removed.
ਦੁਲਭ ਦੇਹ ਤਤਕਾਲ ਉਧਾਰੈ ॥
The human body, so difficult to obtain, is instantly redeemed.
ਨਿਰਮਲ ਸੋਭਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਬਾਨੀ ॥
Spotlessly pure is his reputation, and ambrosial is his speech.
ਏਕੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਨੀ ॥
The One Name permeates his mind.
ਦੂਖ ਰੋਗ ਬਿਨਸੇ ਭੈ ਭਰਮ ॥
Sorrow, sickness, fear and doubt depart.
ਸਾਧ ਨਾਮ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਕਰਮ ॥
He is called a Holy person; his actions are immaculate and pure.
ਸਭ ਤੇ ਊਚ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਬਨੀ ॥
His glory becomes the highest of all.
ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਗੁਣਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੁਖਮਨੀ ॥੮॥੨੪॥

I think this vishraam is wrong. And the meaning you have given is also not right according to vishraam. Actually with the vishraam position, the pankti makes no sense.
I think the meaning with this vishraam will be, Oh thee, I ask for Bhavani. Or Oh thee, Bhavani is my only plea. 
Again, how can Havan make a plea? I think ਕੀ definitely means 'of'. 
Where did you get this? 
With that vishraam, if we use Vaheguru as meaning of Bhavani, then meaning would be, Oh thee, I only ask for Vaheguru. Or it can be Oh thee, I only for ask for you.
However, Bhavani is name so we can't put 'you'. With that, first meaning is correct but doesn't make sense. Just see,
oh Paapiman, I only ask for Paapiman.
Doesn't make sense right? 
I think ਕਾਰ only means a deed or work or shape. Can you give any pankti or refer to mahankosh? 
With that vishraam and pad chhed, I think meaning should be 
Oh Akaal Purakh the giver of wealth, please listen to my plea.
Here you haven't done pad chhed of ਹਮਨ so I have put it's meaning as 'me/mine' only.

Yes bro I do believe in paras Kala of Gurbani.
When we read bani near water, it makes it amrit and when we consume it, it does have effect on us. Surprisingly, science has also proved it. 
When we normally read bani, then I don't think it purifies air. I think bani changes the vibrations around us but doesn't do anything to air. (Eg: if you read bani near polluted water, it will not purify all the gandh from it. It will still be impure)
When we talk about fire, I can't think of any effect it will have on fire.
If we talk about earth. I don't know what effect will it do the land/earth.
And I don't know why but the name of the fifth element is not striking in the mind of this moorakh right now.

It would help if you find a pankti where ਕੀ means through. It will help in vichar.

READ THIS SAAKHI
 
SAAKHI STARTS 
Bhai Moola, Bhai Sooja, Bhai Chandu, Bhai Raamdaas Bhandaari, Bhai Baala and Bhai Sayeen Daas came to Siri Guru Arjun Dev jee Maharaj and asked a very important and pertinent question about way the system of Karma works in Sikhi. They asked if the Paap (sins) and Punn (good deeds) of Gursikhs are accounted for and rewarded separately or are they netted out against each other and only the remaining Paap or Punn are rewarded. In other words, their question was that as an example if someone has 100 Punns and 60 Paaps, then do they pay for 100 minus 60 = 40 Punns or do they get fruits of 100 Punns and 60 Paaps separately.

This is a very relevant question for us. Do our Punns delete our Paaps and do our Paaps dampen the fruits of our Punns or are the Paaps and Punns accounted for separately and the Jeev gets fruits of all the Punns and Paaps they commit.

Siri Guru Arjun Dev jee in response to their question, informed them that for the purpose of the accountability of Karma, there are 4 kinds of Sikhs:

1. Sehkaam Karmi
2. Nihkaam Karmi
3. Upaashna waale
4. Giani

Then Guru Sahib asked them, about which kind of Sikhs was their question related to. The Sikhs with folded hands and extreme humility requested Guru Sahib to tell them about all 4 kinds of Sikhs and how Karma affects them differently.

Hereon, the summary of Guru Sahib's Updesh, as written by Bhai Mani Singh jee in Sikha dee Bhagatmaala, is presented:

In the rule of a king, there are 4 kinds of citizens. The first kind pay taxes based on a certain percentage and no matter what, they have to pay their share. The second kind have a fixed amount they pay as taxes and even if their income is high, still they end up paying little taxes and get to keep most of their wealth. The third kind are close to the king and sometimes present the king with good horses or other gifts and as a result they enjoy tax free income and also get many other perks. The fourth kind are the Maafi citizens who are very close to the king. They go about travelling with the king and instead of paying taxes, they get paid by the state for being close to the king.

Same way, Maharaj jee too has 4 kinds of Sikhs:

Sehkaam Karmi, the first type of Sikhs are Sikhs in appearance only but all their priorities are Maya related. Any Karma related to Dharma that they do is only to forward their Maya related agenda. Any Paath or Naam Simran they do is only for their selfish needs. On the heads of such people, the stick of Jamdoots (messengers of death) always remains. Their Paaps and Punns are accounted for separately. If they have total of 160 Karma which include 80 Punns and 80 Paaps, they get fruits of all 160 Karams and none of their sins are netted out against their good deeds. Depending on their Karma, they enjoy the fruits of heaven and hell in the next world. Since they are Sikhs, they do get to be born in the homes of rich and prosperous people in their next life and occasionally are given opportunities to earn Gurmat related Karma - Naam Simran and Gurbani Paath.

Nihkaam Karmi, the second type of Sikhs, they become Sikhs not out of some greed or vested interest but because they like to be Dharmi (religious). They do good deeds and religious deeds out of pleasure and because such is their natural disposition, as opposed to doing it just for their Maya-related agenda. Even though they have natural tendency to do good deeds, still they do end up committing many sins as well because due to lack of serious Naam Simran and Gurbani Paath, they come under the influence of Maya and 5 Bikaars. Their Paaps and Punns are taken together and evened out and they only pay for their remaining Karma. As an example, if a Nihkaam Karmi Sikh has a total of 160 Karma which include 100 Punns and 60 Paaps, most of their Karma are netted out and they pay the fruits of only 40 Karma. Their sins are netted out against their good deeds and they seldom go to hell as a punishment of their sins. They get to be born in homes of Sant Gursikhs and are given ample opportunities to engage in Naam Simran and Gurbani Paath.

Upaashna Waale Sikh: Upaashna waale Sikhs are such Sikhs who have their priority set on Naam and Gurbani Paath only. Their natural disposition is religious and they willingly do only good Karma. They always do Punns and spend time in Naam Abhyaas and Gurbani Paath but still contrary to their natural disposition, they commit some Paaps (sins) as a result of their Prarabadh (destiny) or when they come under the influence of Bikaars. Guru Sahib forgives their Paaps and if such Gursikhs don't reach their spiritual destiny, then they take another Janam and are born in the homes of Sant Gursikhs and eventually get Gyaan and are released from birth and death.

Gyani: Gyan Gursikhs who have realized their self as well as Vaheguru, consider this world to be Mithiya (false). They reject the system of Karma and depend solely on Vaheguru jee's Naam. Since they don't associate with Haume, none of their Karma falls under the Karma system. Just as darkness does not go near sun, same way Bikaars and Paaps don't go near Gyani Gursikhs. They are free from Karma. They neither get rewarded for their Punns nor get punished for their mistakes. First of all they don't commit any mistake but if they unwittingly do commit a mistake as per this Gurbani Pankiti: ਜੇ ਬਾਹਰਹੁ ਭੁਲਿ ਚੁਕਿ ਬੋਲਦੇ ਭੀ ਖਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਭਾਣੇ ॥, they are not held accountable for it. Then the Gursikhs asked Guru Sahib as to what happens to the Punns that are done by a Gyani and the mistakes they make. Guru Sahib gave the most interesting and revealing answer. Guru Sahib said that since the Gyani rises above the effect of Karma, any Punns that they do during their life here on Earth, are given to the ones who serve them. In other words, the Gursikhs who serve the Gyani Gursikhs, get the rewards of the Punns done by Gyani Gursikhs. On the other hand the ones who slander Gyani Gursikhs, get the fruit of unwitting mistakes committed by the Gyani Gursikhs. Gyani stays Nirlep (aloof) from all effects and fruits of Paaps and Punns.

As for the future of these 4 types of Gursikhs, the Sehkaam Karmi Sikhs are born in heavens and other high realms where they enjoy good life and then come back on Earth and are born in the homes of rich and prosperous people. They occasionally get chance to earn Gursikhi and eventually over many life forms, slowly rise to become Jeevan Mukat.

The Nihkaam Karmi and Upaashna waale Gursikhs get to go to higher Khands and are reborn here in this world in the homes of Sant Gursikhs. They get many chances of doing Bhagti and they get to meet Sadh Sangat. Eventually they become Gyani Gursikhs and get everlasting blissful life in Sachkhand.

Gyani Gursikhs of course get to go to Sachkhand after their exhausting their time here on Earth.

The above thoughts are in accordance to Gurmat. In religions like Buddhism and many sects of Hinduism, the system of Karma is all powerful and totally independent. In Gurmat, the system of Karma is there but it is not run automatically (especially for Gursikhs) but Vaheguru jee is actively involved as a witness of the Karams of Jeevs and in giving the fruits of the good and bad Karma of Jeevs and Gursikhs. It seems natural that everyone cannot be given the same fruit of a single Karma.

Let's take a worldly example to illustrate the point that all sinner are not treated equally by Vaheguru. If a repeat offender goes to the court of a worldly judge, the judge is likely to give him the maximum sentence possible and on the other hand if a first time offender goes to the same judge for the same offense as the repeat offender, then the judge is likely to go easy on the first time offender. Same way, a Gursikh who is indulged in Naam, Gurbani and Punns for the most part would get much less punishment for a rare sin as opposed to a Sikh of first stage who is still very much engaged in Maya.

This Updesh of Guru Sahib should prompt us to strive to become Gyani Gursikhs and at least at the current time be at the level of Upaashna waale Gursikh, who are always eager to do Bhagti by engaging in Naam Abhyaas, Gurbani Kirtan and Paath. Guru Sahib Kirpa Karan.
 
 
SAKHI ENDS
 
Now, I think we have understood the superiority of having Guru Sahib as your Guru and Vaheguru as your Worshipee. People are born in houses of Sikh Families as a result of their good karams.
If a non Sikh worships Vaheguru and keeps Rehat and reads bani with Prem, he will certainly be born in the house of a Sant or Brahmgyani abd get many chances to increase his kamaayi and get liberation.
Bhul chuk maaf

This is my opinion (not trying to prove yagya gurmat or not, but honest opinion)
ਸੁਣਹੁ ਤੁਮ ਭਵਾਨੀ= Please listen oh Bhavani 
ਹਮਨ ਕੀ ਪੁਕਾਰੇ
ਕੀ ਪੁਕਾਰੇ means plea of. Whose pukaar? If you put meaning Havan then, oh Bhavani listen to plea OF Havan which doesn't make sense.
Hence, ਹਮਨ needs to be a living person pleaing to someone. 
Also, as per your arth, how does ਕੀ mean 'through'? As per your ਹਮਨ ਕੀ ਪੁਕਾਰੇ means plea through Havan but how does ਕੀ mean through? 
Note: Veerji, speaking in polite tone.
Trimandeep Singh 

I believe in paras Kala. If we read bani near water, it becomes amrit, provided gurmukh is rehitvaan naam abhiyasi.
If someone listens to Kirtan, it does have effect on him/her.
In both acts, water around which bani was read is consumed and in the second one, amrit bani goes into our ears.
In Havan, what role does the fire play? If you say while reading bani, it is going in our ears, then even in absence of fire, bani will go in our ears. 
The role of fire hasn't been told by any of the people who support heaven.
You did say that Agni Devta is postman of Vaheguru. But, still without him Vaheguru will listen to us. We don't need anyone to send our message to Vaheguru. Bani is itself a talk with Guru sahib.
Note: Veerji, politely Keh reha haan.
Trimandeep Singh 

I was going to quote exact same pankti. : )

1) Great Bhagat. Bhai Gurdaas Ji hasn't made any comparison in the Shabad so, it should be 'Great Bhagat' only. By 'Vadda Bhagat' I think he means that sometimes,  bhagats of Vaheguru too come under 5 vices but this Vadda Bhagat always remained free of maaya (meaning kept doing bhagti with faith).
2) please can you quote pankti? 
Bhul chuk maaf
Trimandeep Singh 

Maybe, presence of ਤੁ means singular.
Trimandeep Singh 

Thik hai veer, havva vich gallan nhi karaanga.
Changa 
Trimandeep Singh 

Yes, only then did I realize ਕੀ becomes irrelevant if Haman means Havan.
But still grammar applied only according to my limited knowledge.
Trimandeep Singh 

Can you please tell about Dargahi Parshaad? I don't know much about Nanaksar Maryada and it's saakhis.
Thank you 
Trimandeep Singh 

Thanks. So Baba Nand Singh Ji gave some power to Devotees to do Paath of Sri Guru Granth Sahib? Or did he gave this task to all devotees and told them that this is the 'Dargaahi Parshaad'?
Also, 
The devotees had to do all these in one month? 
Or either any one of them in a month? 
Dhanvaad Jio
Trimandeep Singh 

Oh that's so motivating to hear!
Dhan Baba Nand Singh Ji! 
ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਲਿ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਮ ਮੂੜ ਪਾਪੀ ਜਿਤੁ ਲਗਿ ਤਰਾ ॥
O God, please be merciful to me, that I may be with the Divine Guru; I am a foolish sinner, but holding onto Him, I am carried across.
Trimandeep Singh 

When name of Baba Nand Singh Ji was mentioned, Daas did reply but now, has no problem. Though still I am against it, I don't consider doing vichar on it because noone can understand Brahmgyani's leela.
