  1. Some questions to be asked If Durga did seva of Guru Nanak Sahib ji, by sweeping outside Guru ji's house. Why would Durga would be worshipped by Guru Gobind Singh ji. ? If Durga sought boons from Guru Nanak Sahib ji, then how can Durga have the courage to appear or ability to grant boon on Guru Gobind Singh ji? Guru ji is only clearing our doubts that the real "ajuni saibhun", the one from whom all derive thier power is Akaal Purakh. Sabh Gobind Hai, Sabh Gobind Hai, Gobind Bin nahi koi. Here is a better version of the above. Guru Gobind Singh ji had a clear vision about the creation of a new nation. He moved from Sri Paunta Sahib to Sri Anand Pur Sahib. Here the guru called a meeting of all his devoted sikhs and priests and solicited their opinion about his future action to fight the tyranny of the mughal king, Aurangzeb. The priests suggested to hold a yagya to appease the Hindu goddess of power to attain divine strength. Many kilos of yagya ingredients were collected and the yagya was started. The priests, called masands in those days, had promised that the goddess would appear and would bless the guru. The yagya continued for 40 days but the goddess did not appear. The guru asked the head masand as to why the goddess has not appeared so far. The head masand suggested that the goddess wanted a sacrifice of one of guru’s dearest one. His indication was towards eldest son of the guru, sahibzada Ajit Singh ji. But the guru said that the dearest person to him was none else but the head masand himself. The guru asked the head masand to prepare himself for the supreme sacrifice and the sacrifice would be offered tomorrow morning. The head masand, however, disappeared the same evening. In the morning the guru was told that the masand had disappeared. The guru then poured the entire remaining yagya ingredients in the yagya fire. A huge flame of fire emerged and in the dazzling light of the yagya fire, the guru pulled his sword from the sheath, brandished it in the air and declared that from then on the power would flow from his sword. His sword would be the goddess of power for him. The guru had also found a solution of one of his important question. The masands would have no place in his proposed new Panth. Bhul chuk maaf

Today is the day when khalsa was formed, Lakh Lakh Vadiya Gur pyari sangat nu. Satguru ji has not given much importance to the presence of the body as much as is given to the presence of the mind in Satguru ji's presence. Let us say with single minded focus before starting vichaar of hukamnama. Satinaam Sri Vaahiguroo ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ soohee mehlaa 5. ਉਮਕਿਓ ਹੀਉ ਮਿਲਨ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤਾਈ ॥ umki-o hee-o milan parabh taa-ee. During the early times, the literature was mostly in poetic form, and was based on the love of husband and wife Various poems were written, about the separation of the wife from the beloved husband. the poems of their pain of separation and joy of meeting, appealed them all. Satguru ji, also used this theme, the souls are the brides, and parmatma is the husband. The aatma, the soul is separated from her beloved parmatma, supreme soul. In this line, umki-o - desire, yearning has sprung hee-o - heart milan - meet Parabh - God In my soul, a desire to meet Parabh has risen ਖੋਜਤ ਚਰਿਓ ਦੇਖਉ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਜਾਈ ॥ khojat chari-o daykh-a-u pari-a jaa-ee. Reading scriptures Wandering forests in the sky, in the waters in all directions so very near, so very far Trying to find you, Vahiguroo my mind has become anxious This desire to meet parabh, has arisen and the soul has started searching for you. ਸੁਨਤ ਸਦੇਸਰੋ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਸੇਜ ਵਿਛਾਈ ॥ sunat sadaysro pari-a garihi sayj vichhaa-ee. In the western countries, the houses are so very cleaner then compared to the eastern But not much is done for the cleaniness of the mind, which has accumulated corruption Through love of your gurbani, through the hearing of your naam, this mind is purified Vaahiguroo, the soul has laid out it's bed with care Vaahiguroo, with great care and purity, the bed has been spread for you, Hearing your news of coming, the mind is purified with your words. ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਆਇਓ ਤਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥ bharam bharam aa-i-o ta-o nadar na paa-ee. ||1|| Many do not know about you, and are wandering in doubt. Vaahiguroo, it is your pleasure, to whom you show your path. they do not wander in ignorance anymore. Through all places, wandered this soul, not finding you Wandering, Wandering, the separated soul has come. ਕਿਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਹੀਅਰੋ ਧੀਰੈ ਨਿਮਾਨੋ ॥ kin biDh hee-aro Dheerai nimaano. How can the separated heart be given patience? The bride is separated from her husband Lord long painful days, unending nights, without you Vaahiguroo ਮਿਲੁ ਸਾਜਨ ਹਉ ਤੁਝੁ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ mil saajan ha-o tujh kurbaano. ||1|| rahaa-o. O beloved Vaahiguroo, come and meet me, I am a sacrifice to you||1|| In the wind, the waters, the fires, the skies all pervading, yet detached unattached ever near, ever far, unseen, form of all gobinday mukanday udaaray apaaraay haarian kaarian nirnamaay akaamaay Vaahiguroo jee is doing kirpa, by giving visraam. rahaa-o pause rest ਏਕਾ ਸੇਜ ਵਿਛੀ ਧਨ ਕੰਤਾ ॥ aykaa sayj vichhee Dhan kantaa. Dhan - wife woman Kantaa - husband sanskrit words One bed has been laid out, for both the Parmatma and the wife to sit sleep together This bed is the heart. ਧਨ ਸੂਤੀ ਪਿਰੁ ਸਦ ਜਾਗੰਤਾ ॥ Dhan sootee pir sad jaagantaa. sootee - sleeping Unfortunate is this, that the aatma/wife is asleep while her Parmatma/husband is forever awake. ਪੀਓ ਮਦਰੋ ਧਨ ਮਤਵੰਤਾ ॥ pee-o madro Dhan matvantaa. madro - sharab/wine Seems like the bride has drunk the wine of corruption as it looks intoxicated and has fallen asleep. The soul bride is engrossed in worldy pleasures, and is asleep to her husband Lord, Vaahiguroo. ਧਨ ਜਾਗੈ ਜੇ ਪਿਰੁ ਬੋਲੰਤਾ ॥੨॥ Dhan jaagai jay pir bolantaa. ||2|| Now only then it will awaken, when Parmatma Vaahiguroo, awakes her. When Parmatma Vaahiguroo, calls the bride, then she will wake up. ||2|| ਭਈ ਨਿਰਾਸੀ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਦਿਨ ਲਾਗੇ ॥ bha-ee niraasee bahut din laagay. After wandering and wandering, looking for parmatma, and not finding, it has become sad. So many days have passed by, The soul bride has lost hope. Asking Astrologers, Asking Wise people, Asking Brahmans, Asking Saints Looking in scriptures, Not seeking Satguru ji's Sanctuary, Relating with them who themselves have not found Vaahiguroo, Not finding Parmatma, the aatma losing hope has become sad. ਦੇਸ ਦਿਸੰਤਰ ਮੈ ਸਗਲੇ ਝਾਗੇ ॥ days disantar mai saglay jhaagay. The soul bride says, "I searched all the lands and foreign lands for my husband Parmatma, but I have not found him" In forests, In mountains, In so very many forms of Maya, The soul bride is searching for Parmatma. The soul bride doesnt know that Parmatma is with her already. ਖਿਨੁ ਰਹਨੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਉ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਗ ਪਾਗੇ ॥ khin rahan na paava-o bin pag paagay. The soul bride says, "I cannot remain without my beloved Parmatma even for a moment". ਹੋਇ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਿਲਹ ਸਭਾਗੇ ॥੩॥ ho-ay kirpaal parabh milah sabhaagay. ||3|| Vaahiguroo has become merciful on the soul bride and met the blessed soul bride. Through great good fortune the soul bride has obtained this union.||3|| ਭਇਓ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਸਤਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥ bha-i-o kirpaal satsang milaa-i-aa. Vaahiguroo, becoming merciful, has united the soul bride with the Sat Sangat, true company. ਬੂਝੀ ਤਪਤਿ ਘਰਹਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ boojhee tapat ghareh pir paa-i-aa. The soul bride says the fire of desire has been quenched, Deep within my own self, my own home, Vaahiguroo is found. ਸਗਲ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਹੁਣਿ ਮੁਝਹਿ ਸੁਹਾਇਆ ॥ sagal seegaar hun mujheh suhaa-i-aa. Decorated with virtues of humility, contenment, truth, sweetness, the soul bride looks beautiful ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਿ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥੪॥ kaho naanak gur bharam chukaa-i-aa. ||4|| Satguru Nanak, has dispelled the doubts, The soul bride is united with Vaahiguroo, Parmatma is found within one's own inner being.||4|| ਜਹ ਦੇਖਾ ਤਹ ਪਿਰੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ॥ jah daykhaa tah pir hai bhaa-ee. Whereever I see, there I see Parmatma In the forests, the mountains, in the waters, and the skies, in all beings, all directions, Everywhere is Parmatma present. ਖੋਲ੍ਹ੍ਹਿਓ ਕਪਾਟੁ ਤਾ ਮਨੁ ਠਹਰਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ਦੂਜਾ ॥੫॥ kholHi-o kapaat taa man thahraa-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o doojaa. ||5|| With this Knowledge, The door is wide opened, and the mind has stopped wandering.||1|| rahaa-o doojaa - second pause rest ||5|| This was Today's Hukamnama Katha Translation, April 14th 2007 / Saturday, 1 Vaisaakh (Samvat 539 Nanakshahi).

Kathakaar is saying, the Pauree is said by next succeeding Guru, so in this case Guru Ramdas Sahib ji. Let us absorb the message in Today's Hukamnama. Hukamnama Katha of Saturday 31st 2007 ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥ salok mehlaa 3. Salok by Satguru Amardas ji ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵੇ ਜਗਤੁ ਮੁਆ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥ bin satgur sayvay jagat mu-aa birthaa janam gavaa-ay. birthaa - useless, meaningless gavaa-ay - waste, lose Satguru ji is saying, we can do any type of work in this world, be it wood work, jewelry work, weaving etc but none is of any use The world is engrossed in useless worldy affairs, and the purpose of this precious birth is lost. none of it will be of any use to us in the world hereafter. Seeking Satguru ji, do those actions that please Satguru ji, so may we get Satguru ji's nadar blessing. Singing the glorious praises of Parmatma, our lives purpose is fulfilled. ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਅਤਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਗਾ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ doojai bhaa-ay at dukh lagaa mar jammai aavai jaa-ay. Living life for the love of worldy fulfillments, People come and go in this world, the old leave, the new ones come. Without Satguru ji, realization of Parmatma within is not got. ਵਿਸਟਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੂਨੀ ਪਾਇ ॥ vistaa andar vaas hai fir fir joonee paa-ay. vistaa - excrement, faeces, manure andar - in, within vaas - living, dwelling, abode, residence fir fir - again again joonee - birth Those who are in love with the world and its fullfilments, those who hope for the fullfilment of thier desires. They are like the insects living in excrement, fallen in love with manure, desiring more, taking birth again and again. ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਜਮੁ ਮਾਰਸੀ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਇਆ ਪਛੁਤਾਇ ॥੧॥ naanak bin naavai jam maarsee ant ga-i-aa pachhutaa-ay. ||1|| Satguru ji says, without parmatma's naam as thier support, the messenger of death will beat them and give punishment. At this last ending moment, they will regret thier wasted life and useless actions. ਮਃ ੩ ॥ mehlaa 3. Satguru Amardas ji is giving us updesh. ਇਸੁ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਹੋਰ ਸਗਲੀ ਨਾਰਿ ਸਬਾਈ ॥ is jag meh purakh ayk hai hor saglee naar sabaa-ee. In this creation, there is only 1 Purakh, our husband Parmatma, all the rest are His wives. ਸਭਿ ਘਟ ਭੋਗਵੈ ਅਲਿਪਤੁ ਰਹੈ ਅਲਖੁ ਨ ਲਖਣਾ ਜਾਈ ॥ sabh ghat bhogvai alipat rahai alakh na lakh-naa jaa-ee. Within All is Parmatma, enjoying all, completely detached from All Parmatma, the unseen one cannot be described. we are of small understanding, how can we understand Parmatma, Those who know Parmatma, they are merged in him. ਪੂਰੈ ਗੁਰਿ ਵੇਖਾਲਿਆ ਸਬਦੇ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਈ ॥ poorai gur vaykhaali-aa sabday sojhee paa-ee. On those upon whom Satguru ji has done kirpa, they are bestowed with the vision of Parmatma. Just as today, we have telescopes, through the medium of which we are able to see things far away. Same way, through the medium of Satguru's shabad, we can know Parmatma. ਪੁਰਖੈ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਸੇ ਪੁਰਖ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਜਿਨੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਈ ॥ purkhai sayveh say purakh hoveh jinee ha-umai sabad jalaa-ee. We are soiled with filthy stains, we are deficient in so many qualities, We are affected with the disease of "I" Parmatma is the Purkh, who is free from "I". Parmatma is infinite, without any limit, treasure of virtues. By doing actions abiding in the will of Parmamta, we also become like Parmatma. The disease of "I" is so subtle, that even those who believe themselves to be free of it, are affected with it. Satguru ji is saying, As long as "I" does not burn out, it does not go away. As long as it is not burned, it does not go away. The Shabad of Satguru ji, burns this "I", haumai. ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਸਰੀਕੁ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਨਾ ਕੋ ਕੰਟਕੁ ਵੈਰਾਈ ॥ tis kaa sareek ko nahee naa ko kantak vairaa-ee. Noone can attack or rival Parmatma, All Powerful Parmatma has no enemy. ਨਿਹਚਲ ਰਾਜੁ ਹੈ ਸਦਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਕੇਰਾ ਨਾ ਆਵੈ ਨਾ ਜਾਈ ॥ nihchal raaj hai sadaa tis kayraa naa aavai naa jaa-ee. Parmatma's command over all creation is Forever eternal. Parmatma is the unchanging eternal king and doesn't come or go like worldly kings. Parmatma, the only one true Purkh, is our eternal husband king. Countless beings have come and gone countless will come and go Countless beings are coming and going this instant. We are one of those beings. How great our Parmatma is ? All the estimators try to estimate, even then they cannot find an iota of Parmatma's Greatness. As great Parmatma wishes to be, so great Parmatma becomes. Under Parmatma's command, all do thier actions engrossed in haumai. They serve thier haumai/ "I" and come and go, again and again. ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਈ ॥ an-din sayvak sayvaa karay har sachay kay gun gaa-ee. Parmatma's rule is eternal, who never comes and goes, who is forever present with us. It is our duty to serve such an eternal king, Night and day, Parmatma's sewadars do sewa, singing Parmatma's glorious praises. ਨਾਨਕੁ ਵੇਖਿ ਵਿਗਸਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥੨॥ naanak vaykh vigsi-aa har sachay kee vadi-aa-ee. ||2|| Satguru Amardas ji is saying, beholding the Vision of Parmatma's glory, endless bliss blossoms, endless happiness comes. ਪਉੜੀ ॥ pa-orhee. Pauree by Satguru Ramdas ji Sat Updesh for us by Satguru Ramdas ji ਜਿਨ ਕੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਦ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਤਿਨ ਕੰਉ ਰਖਣਹਾਰਾ ॥ jin kai har naam vasi-aa sad hirdai har naamo tin kaN-u rakhanhaaraa. Those eternally merged in Parmatma's naam, rememberance of Vaahiguroo, No harm pain suffering can come near. Always dwelling in bliss, protected by Parmatma. ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਿਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਮਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਖਾਈ ਮਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥ har naam pitaa har naamo maataa har naam sakhaa-ee mitar hamaaraa. Those who are protected by Parmatma, Parmatma's naam is their Father and Mother Parmatma's naam is their true friend O people of the World, Vaahiguroo is our father, Vaahiguroo is our mother, Vaahiguroo our true friend ਹਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਗਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮਸਲਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਮਾਰੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਨਿਤ ਸਾਰਾ ॥ har naavai naal galaa har naavai naal maslat har naam hamaaree kardaa nit saaraa.

On Whom Satguru ji becomes merciful, that sikh receives Satguru ji's hukam. Today's hukamnama is in Sorath raag by Guru Arjan Dev Maharaj ji. The first line of the hukamnama is relating to a fever, and the last two lines refer to Guru Hargobind Sahib ji, the son of Guru Arjan Dev ji, saved from the fever. In this hukamnama, Satguru ji is praising the Lord, for the fever of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji has been dispelled. In the olden days, mostly sikhs came from the low castes. Satguru ji gave love to all. The higher castes of those time, committed many cruelties on the lower castes, Shudras, Untouchables. If any word of Veda, was heard by them, they would undergo torture, or if they said any word of dharma or religion, their tongues would be cut. As the people of those times had so much fear of gods and goddesses and worshipped them for boons or cure, so whenever someone caught a disease, they would say, "mata has taken over this person", meaning the goddesses has taken over this person, there is no cure, but to pray to mata/goddesses and get the cure of this. This phrase is also in the book, "mera pind" In history texts, Guru Hargovind Sahib ji was about 3 yrs old, when he got the fever, the ppl said, he has got sheetala. meaning Goddess Sheetala has possessed the child. If we look in the history texts, like Sooraj Granth, we will find our history has been distorted, by brahmans. For example, in Sooraj Granth, it is written for this particular incident, that Satguru Arjan Dev ji, performed durga pooja for the cure of Guru Hargovind Sahib ji. But a sikh will know this as false as this does not concur with the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, They are two opposite directions. Our Satguru ji has given us hukam to worship the one Lord of billions of durga goddesses. So why will Satguru ji worship any goddess, Those stories relating to worship to goddesses in our history text of Suraj Granth is baseless. Just like in Islam, the believers they think that there is nothing superior to Quran in bible, it is written to kick a guest out, who doesnt have the bible teachings in their heart. Just like in Hinduism, it is written to give superiorty to Vedas, when doubts arise, over texts in simritees, puraanas etc Same way, in Sikhism, when the question, we have to give superiorty to Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Guru Arjan Sahib ji's son, Guru Hargovind Sahib ji was cured, by blessings of Akaal Purakh. Let us learn and absorb what Guru ji is going to tell us in Today's Hukamnama. But before, Let us all together say, Satinaam Vaahiguroo. sorath mehlaa 5. taap gavaa-i-aa gur pooray. In Sorath Raag, Guru Arjan Sahib ji is telling us the fever of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji has been dispelled through worship of Akaal Purakh. Not through any worship of gods/devtaas goddesses/devis. Poojaa Akaal ki, Parchaa Shabad ka, Deedar Khalsay da The three types of fever are of mind, body, social. This body of five elements, one of the five elements is fire, when the temperature of this element goes high or too low, we get fever. When there are quarrels in home, then there is anxiety in the mind. there is hatred, there is unrest. It is best to do simran. When there were so many wars going on and cruelty of the mughal rulers. In the midst of this unrest, Satguru ji had given us the gift of Sukhmani Sahib ji, reciting it, all anxieties, pains, troubles, fevers are dispelled. There is no fire of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahaankar, When there is simran of Parmatma, there is peace, contentment, love in the heart. vaajay anhad tooray. Through the grace of Akaal Purakh, the fever has been dispelled, Through Satguru ji's updesh, the one unstruck sweet melody of the soul is heard. sarab kali-aan parabh keenay. True peace, happiness can only be obtained in the presence of Satguru ji. If we think, we can obtain peace and hapiness from outside? Satguru ji is saying, Gurmukh pyaray, It's your mistake. Peace can be obtained from simran, The destroyer of sorrow is the amrit naam of Parmatma. Dukh Bhanjan Tayraa naam ji. Sometimes we think if we change our place of living, if we move to a new house, or to a new city, or goto to a foreign country, we will find happiness there. Because We didnt find any happiness in this house, this place, this country. Satguru ji is saying, days chhod pardayseh Dhaa-i-aa. panch chandaal naalay lai aa-i-aa. ||4|| leaving own country, you wander in foreign lands, bringing along the five thieves with you. days disantar bhav thakay tuDh andar aap lukaa-i-aa. growing weary they wander through foreign lands and countries, but parmatma, you have hid yourself within. Gurmukh pyaray, In whose heart, Parmatma resides even for a moment, is rid of all sorrow. days disantar mai saglay jhaagay. khin rahan na paava-o bin pag paagay. this country, foreign lands, All I have travelled, I cannot survive, even for an instant without the feet of my beloved. Those who have accumulated loads of wealth are not happy. Kathakaar is now giving an example about Jahangir, a mughal ruler. Jahangir once came to the famous court of the saint mian mir, to make a request for an ardaas to Allah, so that he can win the war in the south. After saying this request, he gave a 1 ruppe coin to mian mir, but mian mir said, give this to some beggar, around, we have no need of this. Jahangir went about to the saints gathered around mian mir, and offered it to everyone of them, but none of them took it, and all of them said, we have no need of this, give this to some beggar who needs this maya. Then, Jahangir again came back to mian mir, and said "I couldnt find anyone who was willing to take this." Mian Mir told him, "you have not understood it, who the beggar is? " Jahangir became very ashamed, as he realized he was the one who was the beggar, begging for more maya, begging to make an ardaas, so that he wins the war in the south. But all the saints here are satisfied in the name of God. Another example, when Guru Hargobind Sahib ji had camped near a place , and there was also jahangir camped nearby. One person mistakenly went to Jahangir, and offered his honest earning infront, and said, to bless him with the peace, happiness of "parlok"/world hereafter. But Jahangir, told him, I can give you wealth maya, kingdom in this world. But I cannot give you the happiness, peace of heavens. Then he said, You must be looking for Sachay Paatshaah Guru Hargobind Sahib ji, they are camped over there. Quickly, the sikh got up, without fear, took his honest offering back and went to Satguru ji. Satguru ji is saying, Gurmukh pyaray, Those in whose house, there is less attachments, those who have less belongings in this world, they are more happier. When Kabeer ji's house was burnt, and all his belongings were also burnt along with it. Kabeer ji when he reached and saw that his house is burning. He noticed few things, that were still not burnt. Kabeer ji, said, take this also, take this also, this is yours, you forgot this Parmatma, and threw it in the fire. Kabeer ji, was unattached to anything. Sukh is obtained in the presence of Satguru ji, In the simran of Parmatma. kar kirpaa aap deenay. ||1|| Parmamta gives directly, not through any medium. Satguru ji has made our direct contact with Parmatma. Satguru ji has said. Iam the servant of the all pervading Lord, I have come to see this world drama. these days, we goto religious people, and ask them to do ardaas for us. This is not right. baydan satgur aap gavaa-ee. This pain, anxiety, sorrow is dispelled through the grace of Satguru ji. When we see things that others get, but not us, we should still be thankful to God for what we already have. When a muslim priest who didnt have even shoes to wear, and used to pray five times a day, obey the rasool. But when he saw, another person who didnt do anything, but had more then him. He became filled with hatred. Later, when we went to masjid, and saw that a person, who had no legs, but was doing namaz and Thanking Allah. He became ashamed and realized his mistake. Thank Satguru ji for everything we have. Some Old ppl have said, "Looking at the red happy face of others, do not slap yourself, in order to make your cheek red happy too. Slapping referring to jealousy/hatred. sikh sant sabh sarsay ho-ay har har naam Dhi-aa-ee. rahaa-o. sikh, sants, all are imbued with bliss listening to the updesh to Satguru ji. They do not worship water, sun, fire, or moon, they only worship Akaal Purkh. It is the duty of sikh to daily do simran of Satguru ji. Be in the presence of Satguru ji, Absorb the teachings of Satguru ji. jo mangeh so layveh. Our father Satguru ji has everything we need, all creation belongs to, and is under the command of Satguru ji. What we need, we should ask from Satguru ji, absorb yourself in the presence of Satguru ji. Your needs/wants will be fulfilled by Satguru ji. No worldy person can fullfil your wants. Be in the presence of our complete Satguru ji, all others are incomplete, imperfect, they cannot fulfil your needs. Ask and recieve from Satguru ji your needs. Satguru ji is your mother, Satguru ji is your father, Satguru ji is your Divine Lord, Satguru ji is your Divine Beloved. Satguru ji, is saying, if you ask for your needs from your one and only true support, Then Parmatma will do mercy, and your wishes will be fullfilled. parabh apni-aa santaa dayveh. Parmatma has fulfilled all the needs of his devotees, Parmatma is their care taker, their one and all powerful support. Parmatma gives his devotess, what they ask for. har govid parabh raakhi-aa. The fever of Hargovind Sahib ji has been dispelled through the mercy of Akaal Purakh. Do not ask or worship the many gods/goddesses, Kathakaar is giving example, that the moon that shivji has adorned is impure itself, even when the moon tries to wash itself in the ganga. It is not washed of its sin. If that moon adorned by shivji is unable to get rid of its impurity, then this impurity that we suffer from cannot be removed by any devi/devtay. They cannot give us anything. jan naanak saach subhaakhi-aa. ||2||6||70|| subhaakhi-aa - saying, ucharan Satguru Nanak is saying this true words, through worship, through simran of one All pervading Lord, all your sorrows and pains will be removed.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj ji, sweet, amrit nectar your words, sacred, holy, purifying your presence. guroo pyaroo, kirpa of Satguru ji, as per the words, "mai moorakh deho updesh", we moorakhs, of less intellect, are receiving hukamnama updesh from the king of both worlds, during amrit vela hours at Sri Darbar Sahib ji, Amritsar. Todays hukamnama by Satguru Nanak Sahib ji is in Raag Wadahans, Dakhnee Boli the rahaa-o line of this pure holy shabad, containing the main theme of the shabad, sachrhaa saahib sach too sachrhaa deh pi-aaro. rahaa-o. Satguru ji is saying, Only the one self existent Parmatma is true eternal, and all created creation is false perishable. we all are subject to the punishment of death, but we know not that time, when death will come for us. In all beings is Parmatma present, then some people have thought, that when the person dies, then maybe parmatma within also dies. But in todays Shabad, Satguru ji has made us understand that Parmatma doesnt die. In reality, according to hindu philosophy, in our minds we have settled on the fear of death. But in the light of Gurmat, noone dies. nah ko moo-aa na marnai jog. No one dies; no one is capable of dying. nah binsai abhinaasee hog. ||3|| The soul does not perish; it is imperishable. ||3|| sweet words of Satguru ji Why doesnt anyone die? Lets read think about the first lines of above shabad in raamkalee Raag by SatGuru Arjan Dev ji on Ang 885, pavnai meh pavan samaa-i-aa. The wind merges into the wind. jotee meh jot ral jaa-i-aa. The light blends into the light. maatee maatee ho-ee ayk. The dust becomes one with the dust. rovanhaaray kee kavan tayk. ||1|| What support is there for the one who is lamenting? ||1|| Air, Water, Sky, Fire, Earth from these five elements is formed the body, but when the body is no more, then we think its death. These five elements created by Parmatma, they dont die, when the body dies. When the body dies, then dust mixes with the dust, then the air thats in the body, mixes with the air, becoming one. Then the light that is in the body blends with the light, then what is talk of crying here or being sad? We are nothing, But yes, when the five elements join together, we are called manukh human. But when these five elements separate, we may think "that person is dead" ? Who dies? Kabeer ji is saying to mullah, "you are doing the sacrifice of the sheep, but who is in that sheep, noone is there, noone is dying, of what you are doing sacrifice?" "you have caught the sheep, you are sacrificing a body of dust, what dust sacrifice for?" "There is lots of dust, what will sacrificing dust do then? You yourself have said that the soul doesnt die, then who is dead when you have cut this sheep?" Think of death in the light of Brahm, within Brahm what comes and what goes, its unchanging. Who dies? noone dies Kaho naanak gur bharam chukaa-i-aa. Satguru Nanak has dispelled my doubt. naa ko-ee marai na aavai jaa-i-aa. ||4||10|| No one dies; no one comes or goes. ||4||10|| When the soul leaves the body, then it is judged only according to its deeds and actions that it did here, one may do various paths after the person has left the body. from that only the listener will be benefitted, but the soul will be judged only on its deeds. Creation is perishable, it keeps changing, the old one will go , the new one will come, everyone is coming and going. Only the rare one understands this and doesnt attach ownself to anyone. Only the rare one, doesnt lament when one soul leaves the body. It is the gift of parmatma, who gives and takes. Only the rare one understands this hukam of Parmatma, and abides carefree in the hukam. We should not lament over the death of anyone, it is the gift of parmatma, who gives and takes. Let us before contemplating the hukamnama shabad say with single mind Satinaam Vaahiguroo Wad-hans mehlaa 1 dakh-nee. Guru Nanak Sahib ji is giving us the hukamnama in Wadhans Raag and Dakhni boli, (words influence of the southern(dakhan) Indian part/direction) sach sirandaa sachaa jaanee-ai sachrhaa parvadgaaro. Sirandaa - creator, who has created, fashioned all Sachaa - true, Real Parmatma is the only real Creator of all, causing all to be born, to be fashioned. Only Parmatma is true. Rest everything that is seen is an illusion. Rest all is not real, Know it as a dream that vanishes upon waking. Three types of works are being done in the world. It is of nourishing the beings that are already here, and of destroying and creating new ones. If there was no destroying, if people didnt die, then there would be so many that it would not be possible to manage it and if there was no creating then there would be noone left, these three are essential works being done in the world Only one Parmatma is alone, who doesnt die. Rest all dies. Only one Parmatma is feeding, nourishing all, Not any god vishnu Only one Parmatma is creating and destroying, not any other gods and goddesses. Parmatma is the only true one. jin aapeenai aap saaji-aa sachrhaa alakh apaaro. Parmatma created his own self. Self existent Self created Parmatma is the power in all Unseen Parmatma Infinite Satguru ji, has seen the one Parmatma in all and have told us. Sabh may joth joth hai soi In all is light that light is you du-ay purh jorh vichhorhi-an gur bin ghor anDhaaro. Parmatma brought the two grinding stones of the earth and the sky, and created the creation. Without the Guru there is darkness ignorance, without the Guru this is not known understood. sooraj chand sirji-an ahinis chalat veechaaro. ||1|| The sun and moon are under the command of Parmatma They move as per the command hukam of Parmtma, When the earth comes closer to sun, we get summer, pulling moisture from the oceans, forming clouds, it rains. when earth moves farther then winter, All nature is under the control of Parmatma. Even sun moves around in a orbit. Scientists are saying that if the sun moves even one inch closer to Earth, then the increased heating of the earth will cause havoc, making life impossible Same if the Sun moves even one inch farther from the earth, there would be so much cold, making havoc and life impossible for us. All Powerful is the hukam of Parmatma pervading in every detail, every particle wondrous is the hukam of Parmatma sachrhaa saahib sach too sachrhaa deh pi-aaro. rahaa-o. Parmatma you are true, you love us all. People of the world love us for their own meanings and needs. Parmatma, only you love us truly. Parmatma, we are the one who are at fault, giving our love to the false. tuDh sirjee maydnee dukh sukh dayvanhaaro. Parmatma, you are all knowing, you are the giver of sukh dukh. If Parmatma you only created pleasures, comforts then this world would not have progressed anywhere. It would just become lazy, idle, no work, no achievements, why would anyone require to remember you Parmatma If you just wanted create dukh, then this world would have just been destroyed. Whenever you have created a disease, you have also inspired, created the medicine for it soon after Dukh daroo Sukh rog bhaia Satguru ji has told us our medicine is dukh, Knowing pleasure in Dukh, only the gurmukh pyara can know this. In dukh we remember parmatma more, in sukh we become very careless in rememebering Parmatma. When there is too much pleasures, too much maya, then what is the need of getting up early to praise you Parmatma, Kabeer ji is saying, what is the need for asking for sukh, if after sukh, it is dukh that comes. Guru Nanak Sahib ji is saying, Parmatma, Dukh and sukh are your gifts, because of these we remember you. You are the giver of dukh and sukh. Never think that it is because of someother person that you are suffering or enjoying in pleasure. They directly come from Parmatma. naaree purakh sirji-ai bikh maa-i-aa moh pi-aaro. If we all ask for the gift of son, and noone wishes for the gift of daughter, then with whom will we marry the sons? When there is son, then there is rejoicing, when Parmatma gives the gift of daughter, then no rejoicing. This means we are not happy with the hukam of Parmatma. friendship is with woman, marriage with woman. From woman are kings, saints born; why call her bad? Parmatma has created both woman and man, and also created love for the illusion, all these are plays of Parmatma khaanee banee tayree-aa deh jee-aa aaDhaaro. According to the hindu philosophy, there are four sources of creation, Born of egg, and filth(like germs), Born of womb, Born of Vegetation Guru Nanak Sahib ji has said, in Japji kaytee-aa khaanee Meaning there are many more sources of creation other then four mentioned above. kaytee-aa banee Same way there are, Many types of banee/sounds. Parmatma, you are the creator of all, and you are also their support. kudrat takhat rachaa-i-aa sach nibayrhanhaaro. ||2|| Parmatma, within all you are sitting, and you are watching everyone's deeds, No chitr or gupt, the recording angels are required for you, you have no need to write or note this down, you know everything that is going on. aavaa gavan sirji-aa too thir karnaihaaro. Birth and death, you have created this means, and but you never take birth or die. You are eternal. jaman marnaa aa-ay ga-i-aa baDhik jee-o bikaaro. This person, takes births and dies because of his deeds, because of his karma. This person, who is attached to maya, mansions, family, husband, wife, children. As per these associations, this person takes birth again and again. bhoodrhai naam visaari-aa boodrhai ki-aa tis chaaro. This person has forgotten and is deluded, only if he asks for your help, Satguru ji, can he be saved. That person who themselves want to drown in this world ocean, what help can be given to them? gun chhod bikh ladi-aa avgun kaa vanjaaro. ||3|| There are very less people who are merciful or are kind, There are very less people who have love even for evil people. Take a look at the life of Satguru Nanak Ji, who even went to evil kauda rakhshash and uplifted him, who even uplifted people like sajjan thug. Satguru Nanak ji, went to all the evil places, and uplifted all. We should take example from Satguru ji and not feel shame to go to evil places and bring people out of these evils. sad-rhay aa-ay tinaa jaanee-aa hukam sachay kartaaro. Those who leave this world, Satguru ji is saying, don't cry for them. They come and go in the hukam of Parmatma. naaree purakh vichhunni-aa vichhurhi-aa maylanhaaro. When the husband dies, the wife is separated. By being in this world and entangled in maya, we all are separated from Parmatma, we all are the wives of our husband Parmatma. roop na jaanai sohnee-ai hukam baDhee sir kaaro. The messenger of death created by Parmatma, does not take into account the beauty of a person, That messenger does not care for such. baalak biraDh na jaannee torhan hayt pi-aaro. ||4|| The messenger of death does not take into account young or old. Whether a small baby or old, its the same. Death does not let a small baby live four more extra years. Death does not take into account an old wise person who distributes knowledge, Death feels no sympathy towards anyone. Death considers nothing, when the time of death comes, it takes all along. na-o dar thaakay hukam sachai hans ga-i-aa gainaaray. The nine doors close, when death comes. two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth, urinary aperture and one anus and the soul swan flies away into akaash /gainaaray/ space saa Dhan chhutee muthee jhooth viDh-nee-aa miratkarhaa annynarhay baaray. The defrauded widow-body is now separated from the soul swan who has left her, as the dead body is lying in the courtyard. surat mu-ee mar maa-ee-ay mahal runnee dar baaray. The widow then cries out at the door, "My husband has gone, O my mother". rovhu kant mahayleeho sachay kay gun saaray. ||5|| Satguru ji, is saying don't cry out for the dead, you yourself will die one day. You are separated from your husband Lord, so cry out for that and dwell on the glorious praises of the True Husband lord. jal mal jaanee naavaali-aa kaparh pat ambaaray. When one is dead, the body is washed with water, and then the fine clothes are put on the dead body. vaajay vajay sachee baanee-aa panch mu-ay man maaray. Then at that time of death, instruments are played, and True Bani is said. Hindus say, "Ram Ram Sat Hai" walking along the dead body. We, Sikhs are instructed to say Satinaam Vaahiguroo. At the time of death, the loved ones of the dead person, are convinced in thier minds, that they will never meet the person again. jaanee vichhunnrhay mayraa maran bha-i-aa Dharig jeevan sansaaray. Their Friends and relatives, think that "Now cursed is our life, cursed is our living without our loved one" They say like that. But Satguru is telling them, You are separated from your husband Parmatma, think of this and then curse your living in separation from the True Parmatma. Not for anyone else. jeevat marai so jaanee-ai pir sachrhai hayt pi-aaray. ||6|| Only that death is approved, who is dead while still alive. Renounce maya and become a slave of Satguru ji. Become Jivan Mukat. Freed, liberated while living. In this way, you will have love for Parmatma, when you are dead while still alive. when you are free from hope in the midst of hope. tusee rovhu rovan aa-eeho jhooth muthee sansaaray. You have to come to cry in mourning, so cry out and mourn, as this whole world is a false mirage. ha-o muth-rhee DhanDhai Dhaavanee-aa pir chhodi-arhee viDhankaaray. We have been defrauded, we are without our husband lord, attaching ourselves to worldy entanglements, our beloved Parmatma has left us. ghar ghar kant mahaylee-aa roorhai hayt pi-aaray. Within your home is your beloved parmatma, Within your own self, is your beloved parmamta, enshrine love for the one Parmatma, who is within you. mai pir sach salaahnaa ha-o rehsi-arhee naam bhataaray. ||7|| That person, who praises the one True husband within, remains happy always. and through the Naam, the Name of the Husband Lord, that person is blessed. gur mili-ai vays palti-aa saa Dhan sach seegaaro. When Satguru ji is met, Then the person is separated from the world and united with Parmatma. Separated from maya and United with the Truth. Uniting with Parmatma, this is our only true decoration. aavhu milhu sahayleeho simrahu sirjanhaaro. Come all friends, Sat sangio, lets meet and remember our True Creator Parmatma. ba-ee-ar naam sohaaganee sach savaaranhaaro. ba-ee-ar - meaning soul-bride the soul bride is called wedded only through the name of Parmatma. Parmatma, himself does kirpa on us, and creates us and then reunites us back with his ownself. gaavhu geet na birharhaa naanak barahm beechaaro. ||8||3|| Satguru Nanak ji is saying, do not sing the songs of separation, but contemplate the virtues of the One All pervading Parmatma.

Worldy people are engrossed in stress, tensions, worries, anxieties, Guru Ram Das ji seeing this has given us this hukamnama. The reason for all these anxieties and stress is because people have broken thier contact with God. That child who stays within the lines marked by their parents, stays safe. Their Parents are responsible for what happens to their child. Those children who cross the lines and are not obedient, they encounter so many various troubles in thier life. Same way, those sikhs of the Guru, who stay within the lines marked by thier Gurus, and are obedient to their Guru, those who stay in the hukam of the Guru, and do simran, the Guru is responsible for thier welfare. The Guru will take care of them. Today's hukamnama in Bihaagraa Raag, by Sri Guru Ram Das ji is explaining us that those who have not attached themselves to Gurus Teaching, they are wasting their lives. Some people have ages like 50yrs, some 18, some 80, some 67, but if they have not attached themselves to Guru, they are still children. They have not learnt the true way of life. Those gurmukh pyaray even though their age is very less, they do not attach or focus their love / consciousness on anything else other then simran of God's name, on the virtues qualities of God. Satguru ji is saying those are moorakh's, who do not do God's devotional simran Those who have attached to, those are caught in the chains of maya. Those who are focussed on collecting more and more wealth, property; who are attached to their relatives, parents, friends, spouses, those who are attached to thier children and grandchildren and so on. Satguru ji is saying that those who are caught in this enticing maya of world, In the very end of their lives they will regret and repent, crying they will leave this world. dho-ee - access, admittance They will not get their place of rest, their access to God's court sachkhand. Such people are revelling in their useless affairs, gossip disgracing others, lying, false praising, those on whose tongue is nothing but filth, following thier own minds, not doing simran, engaging in useless activities. In the dargeh of God, only the truthful are honored, truthful beings only can sit near God. The False will not find entry there. Those beings who listen to the advice of Guru, they are saved from this corruptions. Dhuni Chand has collected a lot of wealth and is engrossed in Wealth. Satguru ji, took some of his belongings, and told him that, Dhuni chand, we will give you this in the next world. Then Dhuni Chand understood this lesson, that Satguru ji was trying to teach him. That nothing will go with him to the next world. Satguroo ji is there for us at all times. Never does he get tired talking, giving us updesh, nor does he say I dont have time for you, nor does he ignore. Such a beloved Satguru we have. Satguru ji is the only true companion anyone has, our relatives, friends, etc so on are all false. Our Satguru gives us the true name of the Lord, on whose support the entire existence relies. why leave such a satguru, why not do simran? why attach to another? Those who have come to the sanctuary, those who have absorbed in them the teachings of Satguru. Satguru ji has given them the naam. Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Ram Das ji, is telling us do not be lazy, do not delay, do not hesitate to chant meditate on God's name. At the very last moment you won't be able to remember God, who knows how long will there be breath in this body. Here's an example, to dig a well, and use that water to extinguish the fire which is burning the house right now. It is the same case as delaying in remembering God's name, leaving it for later and later, at the very last moment till death comes, or say I will do simran when Im 60, but who gives you the guarantee that you will live upto that age. You do not Know when your breath will leave you, so do not delay in remembering God's name. Just as hindus have 10 festival, blessed days, like the dusshera, pooranmashi, moon eclipse etc etc, Satguru ji is saying to his sikh, that moment when you remember God's name, that day, that moment is blessed. That day for us is very bad, when we are broken, unconscious of our Lord, let that day be any day, any special occasion, Gurpurab, Gur Gaddi divas. O my soul, Guru Ram Das ji is making me understand that the messenger of death or troubles will not come near , if you remember God's name. God is at all times with us, seeing, listening to our every deeds that we are doing. God knows everything. God knows how many ants there are on this earth, How many humans, animals there are. How many trees vegetation there is. how many stars, God knows everything, is seeing everything, every moment, God is looking and God knows and God is forever merciful to all. But just as in school , some children they do not listen to masters teaching, and fail in thier test, in the same way those beings who do not listen to the Teaching of Guru, they fail in life, lose their human lives. Those beings earn sins paap those people who are obedient to Guru, they are not troubled by anxieties, troubles. Those whose minds are pure, those who have learnt to live in the hukam of the Guru, they have fear of nothing. They have no fear from relatives, death, or maya, anyone. God's name is without fear, God is without hatred for anyone. When our mind is absorbed in God, who is without fear, without hatred, then the corruption of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahankaar they will get tired of troubling us, and we do not again wander in doubt. Even if maya is thrown towards them, even if Lot's of wealth, luxuries, very beautiful women/men come to them, they do not waver ever from God's name. To them the whole world is their family, they have no pride of anything. Satguru ji is saying those beings who have absorbed themselves in God's name, the fives theives get tired to trouble them again. Small children who see a fire, find it amusing, and go to put thier hand in it, Just as a mother knows and takes care of this by keeping an eye on the child at all times. In the same way, the sikh of the Guru, is at all times protected by Satguru ji, Satguru ji takes care of his sikh and prevents him from falling down into something which will cause his sikh pain. No doubt, the sikh must be lured by the maya of the world, but Satguru ji again and again saves his sikh from such things. Satguru ji says to his Sikh, do not go there, they will burn you, these attachments of maya, they will bite you, as a snake bites its enemy to death. Then just as a child of the mother then cries, when the Mother takes him away from the luring fire. In the same way, the sikh of the Guru will cry also, and will feel sad within his/her heart, As the sikh learns and grows, having true faith in Satguru ji, and will realize that his/her Good is in the words of the Guru. Like a blind person does not know if he will fall in a ditch, but a gurmukh person saves him, Same way, Satguru ji saves his sikh from falling in the ditch. Satguru ji is saying those who have served the Guru, those who have did simran, all their corruption is gone. In sikh dharm, there are two main things, seva and simran. Seva can be that which we have to do make and realize those who are wandering to bring them on the path of sikhi, Those who by reason of caste, poor, illiteracy reasons, do not have knowledge of sikhi, we have to do their seva and tell them there is no difference in you and me, come lets walk on the path of the sikhi. Simran is of such a Satguru who gives us this true advice. We think that we are serving Satguru ji, but it is Satguru ji who is doing our seva. Satguru ji who gives us sunlight, who gives us air to breathe, who has given us night time to rest, who has given us so much that there is no account. Who has given us food, water to drink. Satguru ji is doing a lot of seva for us. ik araaDhi-aa means single mindedly worship focus on the true lord. Sometimes our mind thinks of people, places, and various conversations, thoughts, sometimes we think of astrologers, sometimes of gods and goddesses like brahma vishnu, parvati etc etc Ik araahdhi-aa means single-mindedly devote our mind to the one Lord and do not think of anything else. Satguru ji is saying those who have devoted themselves to God, single mindedly , they do not have any more desires left. Those who have remembered Satguru ji, those who have served satguru, they have realized the true home of God. They have become one with God. Those who have meditated on God, God has given them abundant blessings, From the very begnning of time, this is thier written destiny.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj ji, sweet, amrit nectar your words, sacred, holy, purifying your presence. guroo pyaroo, kirpa of Satguru ji, as per the words, "mai moorakh deho updesh", we moorakhs, of less intellect, are receiving hukamnama updesh from the king of both worlds, during amrit vela hours at Sri Darbar Sahib ji, Amritsar. Todays hukamnama by Satguru Nanak Sahib ji is in Raag Wadahans, Dakhnee Boli the rahaa-o line of this pure holy shabad, containing the main theme of the shabad, sachrhaa saahib sach too sachrhaa deh pi-aaro. rahaa-o. Satguru ji is saying, Only the one self existent Parmatma is true eternal, and all created creation is false perishable. we all are subject to the punishment of death, but we know not that time, when death will come for us. In all beings is Parmatma present, then some people have thought, that when the person dies, then maybe parmatma within also dies. But in todays Shabad, Satguru ji has made us understand that Parmatma doesnt die. In reality, according to hindu philosophy, in our minds we have settled on the fear of death. But in the light of Gurmat, noone dies. nah ko moo-aa na marnai jog. No one dies; no one is capable of dying. nah binsai abhinaasee hog. ||3|| The soul does not perish; it is imperishable. ||3|| sweet words of Satguru ji Why doesnt anyone die? Lets read think about the first lines of above shabad in raamkalee Raag by SatGuru Arjan Dev ji on Ang 885, pavnai meh pavan samaa-i-aa. The wind merges into the wind. jotee meh jot ral jaa-i-aa. The light blends into the light. maatee maatee ho-ee ayk. The dust becomes one with the dust. rovanhaaray kee kavan tayk. ||1|| What support is there for the one who is lamenting? ||1|| Air, Water, Sky, Fire, Earth from these five elements is formed the body, but when the body is no more, then we think its death. These five elements created by Parmatma, they dont die, when the body dies. When the body dies, then dust mixes with the dust, then the air thats in the body, mixes with the air, becoming one. Then the light that is in the body blends with the light, then what is talk of crying here or being sad? We are nothing, But yes, when the five elements join together, we are called manukh human. But when these five elements separate, we may think "that person is dead" ? Who dies? Kabeer ji is saying to mullah, "you are doing the sacrifice of the sheep, but who is in that sheep, noone is there, noone is dying, of what you are doing sacrifice?" "you have caught the sheep, you are sacrificing a body of dust, what dust sacrifice for?" "There is lots of dust, what will sacrificing dust do then? You yourself have said that the soul doesnt die, then who is dead when you have cut this sheep?" Think of death in the light of Brahm, within Brahm what comes and what goes, its unchanging. Who dies? noone dies Kaho naanak gur bharam chukaa-i-aa. Satguru Nanak has dispelled my doubt. naa ko-ee marai na aavai jaa-i-aa. ||4||10|| No one dies; no one comes or goes. ||4||10|| When the soul leaves the body, then it is judged only according to its deeds and actions that it did here, one may do various paths after the person has left the body. from that only the listener will be benefitted, but the soul will be judged only on its deeds. Creation is perishable, it keeps changing, the old one will go , the new one will come, everyone is coming and going. Only the rare one understands this and doesnt attach ownself to anyone. Only the rare one, doesnt lament when one soul leaves the body. It is the gift of parmatma, who gives and takes. Only the rare one understands this hukam of Parmatma, and abides carefree in the hukam. We should not lament over the death of anyone, it is the gift of parmatma, who gives and takes. Let us before contemplating the hukamnama shabad say with single mind Satinaam Vaahiguroo Wad-hans mehlaa 1 dakh-nee. Guru Nanak Sahib ji is giving us the hukamnama in Wadhans Raag and Dakhni boli, (words influence of the southern(dakhan) Indian part/direction) sach sirandaa sachaa jaanee-ai sachrhaa parvadgaaro. Sirandaa - creator, who has created, fashioned all Sachaa - true, Real Parmatma is the only real Creator of all, causing all to be born, to be fashioned. Only Parmatma is true. Rest everything that is seen is an illusion. Rest all is not real, Know it as a dream that vanishes upon waking. Three types of works are being done in the world. It is of nourishing the beings that are already here, and of destroying and creating new ones. If there was no destroying, if people didnt die, then there would be so many that it would not be possible to manage it and if there was no creating then there would be noone left, these three are essential works being done in the world Only one Parmatma is alone, who doesnt die. Rest all dies. Only one Parmatma is feeding, nourishing all, Not any god vishnu Only one Parmatma is creating and destroying, not any other gods and goddesses. Parmatma is the only true one. jin aapeenai aap saaji-aa sachrhaa alakh apaaro. Parmatma created his own self. Self existent Self created Parmatma is the power in all Unseen Parmatma Infinite Satguru ji, has seen the one Parmatma in all and have told us.

Parmatma brought the two grinding stones of the earth and the sky, and created the creation. Without the Guru there is darkness ignorance, without the Guru this is not known understood. sooraj chand sirji-an ahinis chalat veechaaro. ||1|| The sun and moon are under the command of Parmatma They move as per the command hukam of Parmtma, When the earth comes closer to sun, we get summer, pulling moisture from the oceans, forming clouds, it rains. when earth moves farther then winter, All nature is under the control of Parmatma. Even sun moves around in a orbit. Scientists are saying that if the sun moves even one inch closer to Earth, then the increased heating of the earth will cause havoc, making life impossible Same if the Sun moves even one inch farther from the earth, there would be so much cold, making havoc and life impossible for us. All Powerful is the hukam of Parmatma pervading in every detail, every particle wondrous is the hukam of Parmatma sachrhaa saahib sach too sachrhaa deh pi-aaro. rahaa-o. Parmatma you are true, you love us all. People of the world love us for their own meanings and needs. Parmatma, only you love us truly. Parmatma, we are the one who are at fault, giving our love to the false. tuDh sirjee maydnee dukh sukh dayvanhaaro. Parmatma, you are all knowing, you are the giver of sukh dukh. If Parmatma you only created pleasures, comforts then this world would not have progressed anywhere. It would just become lazy, idle, no work, no achievements, why would anyone require to remember you Parmatma If you just wanted create dukh, then this world would have just been destroyed. Whenever you have created a disease, you have also inspired, created the medicine for it soon after Dukh daroo Sukh rog bhaia Satguru ji has told us our medicine is dukh, Knowing pleasure in Dukh, only the gurmukh pyara can know this. In dukh we remember parmatma more, in sukh we become very careless in rememebering Parmatma. When there is too much pleasures, too much maya, then what is the need of getting up early to praise you Parmatma, Kabeer ji is saying, what is the need for asking for sukh, if after sukh, it is dukh that comes. Guru Nanak Sahib ji is saying, Parmatma, Dukh and sukh are your gifts, because of these we remember you. You are the giver of dukh and sukh. Never think that it is because of someother person that you are suffering or enjoying in pleasure. They directly come from Parmatma. naaree purakh sirji-ai bikh maa-i-aa moh pi-aaro. If we all ask for the gift of son, and noone wishes for the gift of daughter, then with whom will we marry the sons? When there is son, then there is rejoicing, when Parmatma gives the gift of daughter, then no rejoicing. This means we are not happy with the hukam of Parmatma. friendship is with woman, marriage with woman. From woman are kings, saints born; why call her bad? Parmatma has created both woman and man, and also created love for the illusion, all these are plays of Parmatma khaanee banee tayree-aa deh jee-aa aaDhaaro. According to the hindu philosophy, there are four sources of creation, Born of egg, and filth(like germs), Born of womb, Born of Vegetation Guru Nanak Sahib ji has said, in Japji kaytee-aa khaanee Meaning there are many more sources of creation other then four mentioned above. kaytee-aa banee Same way there are, Many types of banee/sounds. Parmatma, you are the creator of all, and you are also their support. kudrat takhat rachaa-i-aa sach nibayrhanhaaro. ||2|| Parmatma, within all you are sitting, and you are watching everyone's deeds, No chitr or gupt, the recording angels are required for you, you have no need to write or note this down, you know everything that is going on. aavaa gavan sirji-aa too thir karnaihaaro. Birth and death, you have created this means, and but you never take birth or die. You are eternal. jaman marnaa aa-ay ga-i-aa baDhik jee-o bikaaro.

As per these associations, this person takes birth again and again. bhoodrhai naam visaari-aa boodrhai ki-aa tis chaaro.

That person who themselves want to drown in this world ocean, what help can be given to them? gun chhod bikh ladi-aa avgun kaa vanjaaro. ||3|| There are very less people who are merciful or are kind, There are very less people who have love even for evil people. Take a look at the life of Satguru Nanak Ji, who even went to evil kauda rakhshash and uplifted him, who even uplifted people like sajjan thug. Satguru Nanak ji, went to all the evil places, and uplifted all. We should take example from Satguru ji and not feel shame to go to evil places and bring people out of these evils. sad-rhay aa-ay tinaa jaanee-aa hukam sachay kartaaro. Those who leave this world, Satguru ji is saying, don't cry for them. They come and go in the hukam of Parmatma. naaree purakh vichhunni-aa vichhurhi-aa maylanhaaro. When the husband dies, the wife is separated. By being in this world and entangled in maya, we all are separated from Parmatma, we all are the wives of our husband Parmatma. roop na jaanai sohnee-ai hukam baDhee sir kaaro. The messenger of death created by Parmatma, does not take into account the beauty of a person, That messenger does not care for such. baalak biraDh na jaannee torhan hayt pi-aaro. ||4|| The messenger of death does not take into account young or old. Whether a small baby or old, its the same. Death does not let a small baby live four more extra years. Death does not take into account an old wise person who distributes knowledge, Death feels no sympathy towards anyone. Death considers nothing, when the time of death comes, it takes all along. na-o dar thaakay hukam sachai hans ga-i-aa gainaaray.

The widow then cries out at the door, "My husband has gone, O my mother". rovhu kant mahayleeho sachay kay gun saaray. ||5|| Satguru ji, is saying don't cry out for the dead, you yourself will die one day. You are separated from your husband Lord, so cry out for that and dwell on the glorious praises of the True Husband lord. jal mal jaanee naavaali-aa kaparh pat ambaaray. When one is dead, the body is washed with water, and then the fine clothes are put on the dead body. vaajay vajay sachee baanee-aa panch mu-ay man maaray. Then at that time of death, instruments are played, and True Bani is said. Hindus say, "Ram Ram Sat Hai" walking along the dead body. We, Sikhs are instructed to say Satinaam Vaahiguroo. At the time of death, the loved ones of the dead person, are convinced in thier minds, that they will never meet the person again. jaanee vichhunnrhay mayraa maran bha-i-aa Dharig jeevan sansaaray. Their Friends and relatives, think that "Now cursed is our life, cursed is our living without our loved one" They say like that. But Satguru is telling them, You are separated from your husband Parmatma, think of this and then curse your living in separation from the True Parmatma. Not for anyone else. jeevat marai so jaanee-ai pir sachrhai hayt pi-aaray. ||6|| Only that death is approved, who is dead while still alive. Renounce maya and become a slave of Satguru ji. Become Jivan Mukat. Freed, liberated while living. In this way, you will have love for Parmatma, when you are dead while still alive. when you are free from hope in the midst of hope. tusee rovhu rovan aa-eeho jhooth muthee sansaaray. You have to come to cry in mourning, so cry out and mourn, as this whole world is a false mirage. ha-o muth-rhee DhanDhai Dhaavanee-aa pir chhodi-arhee viDhankaaray.

When Satguru ji is met, Then the person is separated from the world and united with Parmatma. Separated from maya and United with the Truth. Uniting with Parmatma, this is our only true decoration. aavhu milhu sahayleeho simrahu sirjanhaaro. Come all friends, Sat sangio, lets meet and remember our True Creator Parmatma. ba-ee-ar naam sohaaganee sach savaaranhaaro. ba-ee-ar - meaning soul-bride the soul bride is called wedded only through the name of Parmatma. Parmatma, himself does kirpa on us, and creates us and then reunites us back with his ownself. gaavhu geet na birharhaa naanak barahm beechaaro. ||8||3|| Satguru Nanak ji is saying, do not sing the songs of separation, but contemplate the virtues of the One All pervading Parmatma.

Those people who do abhiyaas of this shabad, they will be protected by Parmatma. 2. This Shabad is indicating that Parmatma is the protector of his devotees. There is an incident during the times of Guru Arjan Sahib ji, when a person was sent from the mughal emperor to arrest Guru ji. That person was not able reach Guru ji, because on his way he had died. People asked Guru ji, "What type of Shabad have you read? that the person on his way was not able to reach you and died". Guru ji said, "It is the kirpa of Parmatma, Parmatma is the saviour of his devotees". Lets absorb the message. Satinaam Vaahiguroo Dhanaasree mehlaa 5. In Dhanaasree Raag, Guru Arjan Sahib ji is giving us updesh har har leenay sant ubaar. Vaahiguroo, you are the support of your devotees, and you protect them. har kay daas kee chitvai buri-aa-ee tis hee ka-o fir maar. ||1|| rahaa-o. Vaahiguroo, Those who plot and plan against your devotees, they themselves get affected with it, and the devotees are saved by your kirpa. Kathakaar is saying about Hari Naryan Granth, in it says, There was one landowner and a king in the same city, the landowner had bad thoughts about the king in his mind, so it did happen, that the king also came to know of this landowner, and he also had bad thoughts against him. Then one day, the king fell sick, and the landowner having mercy in his mind, thought good about the king, thought he was such a generous merciful king. vice versa, the thoughts in the mind about the king also changed, and he thought kind things for the landowner. Kathakaar is saying, even though they never talked to eachother, thoughts about another person reaches that person, doesnt matter what distance they are. Guru ji tells us, Do not keep bad thoughts for anyone in your mind. jan kaa aap sahaa-ee ho-aa nindak bhaagay haar. Who is our real support? Who do we depend on? Who is the giver behind all? Who is unseen and seen in all diversity? Vaahiguroo, you are the support of your devotees, the slanderer has been humbled, losing with the devotees. Vaahiguroo, in this world and the world beyond, we have no support but you. Please do kirpa and make us remember you always. Kathakaar is giving an example, about the state of nindak, and how beneficial they can be to us. The grandfather of Ram Chandra in Ramayana, was Raja Aj. Aj, like his father Ragh used to donate everytime at amrit vela to the sadhus saints. One day, Raja Aj after finishing donating, and running out of food for sadhus, was approached by a sadhu, who asked for donation. Raja Aj said in a hurry, I am done donating, come tommorrow. The Sadhu, said he has to spend the night here, please give something today. Aj : "I dont have to pay off your loan, Go away" Sadhu: "I will not go away without receiving anything" This Sahdu was a real mahapurush, and a saint. Aj was standing in a horse barn, and all there was lidh/horse dung all around. Aj : I have lidh/horse dung. I can give you that Sadhu : If you want to give lidh, then go ahead, give it. Aj put a pile of lidh in the wrap of his cloth. Sadhu said, "God bless you, may this charity of yours, increase by leaps and bounds" == Later on, after some months, Raja Aj, went for hunting, and he came across the residence of that same saint, who he had donated horse dung that morning. Aj saw, there were big hills formed out of horse dung all over the place. Aj shocked seeing all this, asked the sadhu about it. Sadhu said, this is the boon of your donation, God has truly blessed you with hills of horse dung, what you donate you get back in return. Now this will have to be eaten by you. Aj asked the sadhu, What he should do to get rid of not eating the lidh/horse dung. Sadhu said, Nindak's can decrease your load, those who do your ninda, will eat this horse dung. That day, Raja Aj, went into the house of a prostitute, and said "my daughter, I need your help, please walk with me through the town today." Seeing Raja Aj, with the prostitute walking together, the people of the town said all types of things, slandering him, having a queen wife at home, and this shameful person is walking with a prostitute. Due to ninda, This greatly reduced the hills of horse dung that were formed, as those nindaks had to eat it. But even then a small amount of it was left. Raja Aj, asked the Sadhu, why hasnt that small amount of horse lidh gone? Sadhu said, "It is the same amount you donated, this amount you will have to eat it. What you give you are destined to get back also" From that day, Raja Aj, everyday he used to eat small amounts of that lidh, and grieve over his mistake of donating lidh to the saint. bharmat bharmat oohaaN hee moo-ay baahurh garihi na manjhaar. ||1|| The slanderer's minds are torn and death overtakes them and they return not to their homes. naanak saran pari-o dukh bhanjan gun gaavai sadaa apaar. Nanak has sought the refuge of God, the destroyer of Pain, and sings his infinite praise. nindak kaa mukh kaalaa ho-aa deen dunee-aa kai darbaar. ||2||15|| The slanderers reputation is blackened in this world and the world beyond in the court of God. Kathakaar is saying there is some time left, doing katha of Shabad in Bihaagraa Raag by Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. In my own words.. Satguru ji says, this mind is like the tail of a dog, no matter how much good advice is given to it, it never wants to walk that path. Then how can this foolish mind be made to follow the path of gursikhi. Satguru ji is saying, daily keep your commitment, do naam simran even for less time, but do it. In this way you will come on the path. Summary: Satguru ji is telling us that only Parmatma is our real support, we should know that if we seek his support, by remembering him, by loving him Noone can do any harm to us. Satguru ji is telling us to stop ninda, and have good thoughts about all. Please forgive mistakes.

In the shaloks, Satguru ji has used the vaydik* parampara tradition of saying the shabads, meaning these are irrespective of any religion, sect or division, and in the paurees, Satguru ji is using the laukik* parampara tradition, the language style grammar of the local people of the area. Satguru ji is explaining us in detail the method in which how our lives will be successful, how we are to live our lives successfully. Satguru ji is revealing this method to us in the hukamnama. salok. rasnaa uchrant naamaN There are five karm indriyas (senses) and There are five gian indriyas (senses) karm - work gian - knowledge rasnaa - tongue uchrant - speak naamaN - name (Parmatma's)* rasnaa does both the work of karm indraya and gian indraya when our rasnaa helps in eating the food, by swallowing it, sending it to our stomach, It is doing the work as karm indraya When our rasnaa speaks, saying there is less salt in the dal, or there is less sugar in the tea, It is doing the work of gian indraya. When our rasnaa does the work of karm indriya, swallowing food, we call it jeeb/tongue. When our rasnaa does the work of gian indriya, speaking, we call it rasnaa/(speaking faculty)*. Satguru Paatshah is saying, Our Gian indraya rasnaa's righteous purpose will be fulfilled, when it speaks parmatma's naam. In Japji Sahib, ik doo jeebhou lakh hohi lakh hovahi lakh vees. Let the tongue be multiplied a lakh times, and let these be multiplied even twenty times more. lakh lakh gayrhaa aakhee-ahi ayk naam jagdees. with these hundreds of thousands of times, the Name of the One, the Lord of the Universe be recited. ayt raahi pat pavrhee-aa charhee-ai ho-i ikees. In this way, we climb the steps of the ladder, and come to merge with Him. sun galaa aakaas kee keetaa aa-ee rees. hearing of the talks of etheric realms, even the worms long to return naanak nadree paa-ee-ai koorhee koorhai thees. ||32|| Nanak through the grace of God, it is obtained. False are the boastings of False. Many Gianis also say, when the rasnaa recites the parmatma, progressing in this way, every individual cell becomes a tongue, and starts vibrating on Parmatma's name. Kathakaar is now saying that gurmukh pyara have talked about 4-5 stages in reciting Parmatma's name. First, gurbani should be read out aloud. Second, reading gurbani again and again, the person comes at a stage, when he reads bani, but the second or third person doesnt hear him reciting, this is called "madma"* stage. The tongue is moving, but the person sitting nearby cannot hear. the throat is active but the person nearby doesnt hear it. Third, is the stage of "basanti"*, in which the tongue does not move, nor is throat actively saying anything. The continous recitation goes on continously in the heart. The person has to keep his mind focussed on this continous jaap rememberance recitation of Parmatma's name going in the heart. By being distracted from this rememberance, are the obstacles in this stage. Fourth, is the stage of "Para"*, Kathakaar is saying that among crores (many 10,000,000's), a few attained this stage. Kathakaar is giving example of Bhai Mati Das. In every drop of blood that spill, the continous recitation of Jap ji Sahib was continously heard. whether hindu, muslim, sikh, the aim of all is to be one with Parmatma and recite name of Parmatma. Kathakaar is giving example of another saint, Baba Mansoor, who used to say "Anal Haq", when he was cut bit by bit alive, the drops of blood that spilled were also giving that sound of Anal Haq. sarvanaN sunant sabad amritah. The mind is never steady, and wanders constantly distracted. By keeping the mind focussed on "suniai"/listening to the recitation of Parmatma's naam, it becomes steady on its own. Listen to gur shabad, this is medicine for controlling the five theives of kaam/lust/desire, krodh/anger, lobh/greed, moh/attachment, ahaankaar/pride/ego. Reciting with rasnaa, Listening with the mind, the sick mind will be healed. naanak tin sad balihaaraN jinaa Dhi-aan paarbrahmaneh. ||1|| how much Satguru ji gives honor/respect to those who meditate on Parmatma's naam. Guru Arjan Sahib ji, is saying Iam forever a sacrifice to those who remember Parmatma. Kathakaar is saying, these are not only words, but if we read history we will find many instances where Satguru ji is a sacrifice to those sikhs who remember Parmatma, who have fear and respect of Gurbani. Kathakaar is giving an example of a sangat, which was coming from a far place, and on the way, they did gurbani kirtan. Satguru ji came to know it, but was injured/hurt in the knee, even then he continued walking towards that direction to meet those sikhs who were singing Gurbani. Satguru has said, gurbani is the support of the sikhs, like the backbone in our bodies, which is our main support. Those who don't respect Gurbani, those who don't have fear of Gurbani, They can think of themselves as sikhs, But I dont consider them as my sikhs. Satguru ji gives lot of honor to those who sing gurbani, and have respect for Gurbani. Satguru is sacrifice to those who meditate on Parmatma. habh koorhaavay kamm ikas saa-ee baahray. These days, Our lives have become like machines, we are never free from business/work. Always entangled in so many other works or duties. Satguru ji is saying, all those are false/useless, by doing of which you forget Parmatma. naanak say-ee Dhan jinaa pirharhee sach si-o. ||2|| Satguru ji is saying those who are in love with Parmatma, they are blessed, fortunate. pa-orhee. sad balihaaree tinaa je suntay har kathaa. Satguru is saying, he is sacrifice to those who listen to the katha about Parmatma. That katha which unites one, brings closer to Parmatma. In Anand Sahib, the following line appears suntay puneet kahtay pavit satgur rahi-aa bharpooray. Kathakaar is saying that those who listen to katha are 3 times better then those who speak katha. Kathakaar says, This is because in listening the one pointedness of the mind is required to listen to the katha. pooray tay parDhaan nivaaveh parabh mathaa. Satguru is giving the title of Pardhaan/Chief/Perfect, to those who bow in front of Parmatma. Pradhaan are those who are humble within, consider themselves lowly. Those who are egoists are not pardhaan. har jas likheh bay-ant soheh say hathaa. Some wear fashionable rings, Kathkaar is saying these days, the new fashion among women is to have long nails. To make their hands look more beautiful. Satguru ji Paatshaah, is saying Those hands which write the praises of Parmatma are beautiful. Hindus, before starting any work, they used to write Om. Sikhs write IK Onkaar before starting any work. charan puneet pavitar chaaleh parabh pathaa. Those feet are pure, which walk towards the path of Parmatma. Those which walk towards the temple of God, those which go towards Gurudwara. santaaN sang uDhaar saglaa dukh lathaa. ||14|| In the company of the saints of God, all ones pains and suffering leave.

On that person, upon whom the Lord does kirpa,that person recieves updesh(true advice) from Satguru ji. Satuguru ji is saying, that our relatives, friends, parents, spouse, they are not our true companions, and will not be our support in the world hereafter. They will not go along with us in the world hereafter. In the world hereafter only Satguru ji, will go with us, and is our only companion, our support. When we will go into the house of God, dargeh of Parmatma, then if we don't have good virtues in our bag, then we will not receive honor, we will be neglected. Dharmraj, the judge of good and bad actions of the world, also says those who have gathered virtues in their bag, will obtain honor. Parmatma, is with us at all times. In your mind, you are thinking of your relatives and friends, but none of these will go with you. You will be responsible for your own actions and deeds, none of these will support you in the world hereafter. Kabeer ji says, That family who you think as your own, for that wealth, for the sake of relatives, you are collecting it, they will not go with you. Wakeup sleeping soul and start gathering virtues in your bag. When maya comes, ahaankar increases, when maya leaves, sorrow increases. Dont seek the pleasure of maya. Absorb yourself in the peace of Parmatma's naam. It will stay with you here and hereafter. Let us absorb in the updesh of Hukamnama, Satinaam Vaahiguroo Satguru Arjan Dev ji has blessed us with today's hukamnama in Dhanasaari Raag. Hindus, Muslims say, Parmatma lives only in Mecca, Jagannath temple etc. Or Parmatma lives in the sky. Satguru Gobind Singh ji has said, Some bow towards west, some east; present everywhere, all pervading, is Parmatma. Jin Prem Kio tin hi prabh paiyo Satguru Tegh Bahadur Ji has said, Why go and search for Parmatma in forests? Everpresent with you, is Parmatma. Someone asked a sufi sant, "If Parmatma is in the heart? How to obtain Parmatma?" sufi sant said, "We will tell you later, now Let us go and take bath in the river first" When that person went to take a dip in the river, the sufi sant, put his hand on the head, and did not let him come out, just when that person was on his last breath. The sufi sant, took off his hand, and brought him out. that person said, "If you did not want to tell me about Parmatma, why are you drowning me to my death?" Sufi sant said, "When you were in the water, where you thinking about your family or relations or anyone?" Person said, "No, I was only thinking about saving my life" Sufi Sant said, "When you think of only Parmatma, and noone else, you will find Parmatma, devote yourself to Parmatma" Ramakrishna after hearing clever arguments on the proof that parmatma does not exist from a person said "I believe more in Parmatma now, after hearing such intelligent arguments, such a clever person like you, who could have created you" Just as in forests, fire is unseen. Just as in clouds, rain water is unseen Parmatma is in all. All is Parmatma, Without Parmatma is noone. Sabh Gobind Hai, Sabh Gobind hai, Gobind bin nahi koi. Speak sweet words to all, Parmatma is in all. Whereever I look, there I see you Parmatma. Don't differentiate anyone based on color or appearance, or judge beauty by color or appearance, but by virtues in Guru Granth Sahib ji. Parmatma never was or will be separate from us, do simran of Parmatma. Know Parmatma as the eternal one. Those pleasures which pass away with the blink of an eye, in a instant are trivial, Don't seek those, but seek the bliss Parmatma's simran. Paramatma is sustaining, nourishing everyone by giving them food, and does not differentiate if someone is muslim, sikh, hindu, good or bad, virtue or no virtue. Parmatma's supplies never run short. With each and every breath, Parmatma is taking care of his creatures. Parmatma cannot be decieved, cannot be cut/hole, Parmatma is infinite, Great, high is the form of Parmatma. Rememembering wondrous Parmatma, we dwell in bliss, filled with wonder. Satguru ji, Bless this beggar with such understanding to remember you all times. Iam a sacrifice to your devoteees , who remember you, bless me with the dust of those devotees, so I stay in humility. Vaahiguroo jee Ka Khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ji fateh

When someone asked Satguru ji, why dont we celebrate any festival like ram leela for Parmatma? In Today's Hukamnama, Satguru Arjan Sahib ji, describes the nirgun form of Parmatma. Satguru ji says, Parmatma is present in all forms, leela is celeberated of that person who comes and goes, but parmatma has been ever present in all forms and is also the nirgun, absolute one, without any attributes. soohee mehlaa 5. raas mandal keeno aakhaaraa. Kathakaar is talking about the meaning of Partaal, which appears at the beginning of ang 746, for these three shabads. one meaning is for the Raagi Singhs, on how to do the alaap for it. Many Raagis they just sing the shabad in one taal, one tempo, but when there is parh-taal at the top, the indication is to sing it in different taals different tempos. The other inner meaning, is that Parhtaal is telling us to go through different aspects of us, investigating our lives. Kathakaar is now relating to the Bhai Nand Lal ji rehitnama, of how a singh is to take care of his surat/face, by tying the turban neatly one lad* at a time, doing Kanga two times daily. Kanga/Wooden comb is one of the five gifts given while taking Amrit. When you use kanga to comb your hair, 1,2,3,4,5, how many ever, hair come out, they break out on their own. Kanga is telling us, to do the kangi of contemplation/veechar in your heart. In the amrit vela, when you do kangi, vichaar in your heart, that today, I will do these good things, and abstain from the vikaars / corrupt things. In the night time, before sleep, when you do kangi, count the vikaars you were able to comb out from the mind, and again make a resolution to do the same for tommorrow. Do the kangi of veechar, that today I did this corrupt thing, and I will not do again. I will abstain. Kathakaar is saying, Abstain from corrupt activities, This is that investigation, inner meaning of Partaal. aakhaaraa - stage Kathakar is saying, our body is an Aaakhaaraa, in which two powers of good and evil are operating. The good power is of Bibek(Understanding/Discrimination), and the evil is of moh(Attachment). Moh and Bibek are the chiefs of the two teams of good and evil. Moh within us is saying that, "I will bind this person and prevent this person to go on the path towards Parmatma" Bibek within us is saying that, "I will not let moh affect me, and I will become stronger when I take the medicine of Parmatma's Rememberance, Satguru ji's Shabad" Satguru ji is saying, This whole world is an aakhaaraa, good and evil are the two teams in it. Some, evil, are looting the people, Some, good, are preventing that. Somewhere there is more influence of moh, somewhere there is of Bibek, somewhere there is krodh/anger, somewhere there is of Daya/Mercy. See this drama of the world, and realize only the one Parmatma in all of this. saglo saaj rakhi-o paasaaraa. ||1|| rahaa-o. paasaaraa - expanse, creation Kathakaar is saying, "In Bible, it says that on Saturday, the entire creation was created by Parmatma, and then on Sunday, Parmatma took rest" Many scriptures it is written like that, and thats why they do holiday on Saturday. But Kathakaar is saying, if we ask these humble people, "That when there was no creation, then from where did Saturday/Sunday come from?" Satguru Nanak Sahib ji, has made the decision on this thit vaar naa jogee jaanai rut maahu naa ko-ee. The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season. jaa kartaa sirthee ka-o saajay aapay jaanai so-ee. The Creator who created this, alone knows. Kathaakar is now talking about the story of creation of Adam in Bible, and how eve was created from the limb of Adam. Kathakaar is saying its very strange story if you read it completely, and next day maybe we will read about Parmatma did operation of Adam. These are all imaginations of the mind. Satguru Nanak Sahib ji, has made the decision on this, in one line Keetaa pasaao eko kavaao You created the vast expanse with One Word tis te hoe lakh dareeaao. Hundreds of thousands of rivers began to flow Rahaa-o - Satguru ji is doing kirpa on us with Rahaa-o Rahaa-o - Rest Pause baho biDh roop rang aapaaraa. Kathakaar is talking about the life of Bhai Kaniya ji, who when there was a war going on, Kaniya ji used to feed both the enemies and the sikhs. When someone complained to Guru Gobind Singh ji about this. Guru Gobind Singh ji questioned Bhai Kaniya ji. Sabh mai jot, jot hai soi In everyone is the light, you are the light Kaniya ji said, "I see you in everyone." Satguru ji said, "You have truly recognised me" Parmatma is present in all, in all forms and colors. Parmatma is one, and also Parmatma is present in diverse colors in blacks, whites, brown, in men, women, children, birds, animals, plants, in all. No end can be found to this expanse, manifestion of Paramatma in all. Parmatma is without any limit. paykhai khusee bhog nahee haaraa. Parmatma is watching over all with joy. Parmatma does not tire of this. sabh ras lait basat niraaraa. ||1|| Parmatma is enjoying all within all, while staying detached from all. baran chihan naahee mukh na maasaaraa.

Fortunate we are to have Guru Nanak Sahib ji. Satguru ji is the perfect form of his teachings, who lived his teachings completely. Satguru Arjan Sahib ji in today's hukamnama is saying that the greatest mercy done on us by Satguru ji, is of attaching us to the Eternal power, Parmatma. Those who have followed this path, they are witness to the unique bliss arising from attaching our consciousness with Parmatma, Those devotees have no shortcomings, no needs or wants. Let us absorb today's hukamnama. Satinaam Vaahiguroo soohee mehlaa 5. har charan kamal kee tayk satgur ditee tus kai bal raam jee-o. Satguru Maharaj became merciful, and has attached them with Parmatma. Their support has become Parmatma's lotus feet. Kathakaar is saying about the word "charan kamal", lotus feet. Saying that Satguru Gobind Singh ji has explained this very well. chit charan naam. meaning attaching to name of Parmatma, is attaching one to the lotus feet of Parmatma. har amrit bharay bhandaar sabh kichh hai ghar tis kai bal raam jee-o. Kathakaar is talking about the meanings of "OM"/"AUM" They represent the powers of Brahma, Vishnu, Shivji ( creator /preserver /destroyer) Guru Nanak Sahib ji has blessed us, has joined us with the supreme power, controlling all these three. Guru Gobind Singh ji has said about Krishna Avtaar of vishnu, "Parmatma, these are your messengers, to spread your glory, but when they came here, they called themselves Parmatma, but in reality, its your power who is behind all of it" In this way, Guru Nanak Sahib ji has joined us with the one and only Parmatma behind all dieties. Before Gurdev came, Someone used to worship durga, hanumaan, or fire god. Gurdev ji is saying, Worship the one, whose treasures are overflowing. Everything is in the house of Parmatma, Whatever any devotee asks from Parmatma, Parmatma gives that to his devotees. baabul mayraa vad samrathaa karan kaaran parabh haaraa. Many religions, they have termed parmatma as having a gender. But in Guru Granth Sahib ji, it is said, we can not call Parmatma male, nor can we call Parmatma female. Something's we cannot talk to our mother, because we are shy, or not feeling comfortable. then we talk our inner thought with our friends. Guru Granth Sahib ji is so great, that everything that is written is true. Parmatma, you are my mother, my father, my brother, and my companion. Noone can help me other then you. When this Body has become old, then our relatives put food in our mouths, because our body is weak, O Parmatma you are in those relatives, who is feeding us. Parmatma, you are greater then everyone. Parmatma, you are behind everything, you are the cause of all causes, whatever happens is your doing. jis simrat dukh ko-ee na laagai bha-ojal paar utaaraa. Gurmukh pyaria, remember Parmatma By Remembering Parmatma, you will never suffer any sorrow or pains and You will cross over the world ocean. Some people will doubt then, looking at the lives of great gurmukhs, like Bhai Mani Singh and say then Why were the body parts of Bhai Mani Singh ji, cut one by one? Why did Bhai Taru Singh ji had his scalp shaved? Why did so many Gurmukh pyaray undergo so much suffering? Satguru ji, Please clear these doubts. Through Satguru ji's teaching, we rise above body consciousness, Those who are attached to body only they feel pain and suffer. Those who read Satguru ji's bani they rise above body consciousness, above moh mamta maya. rising above, above all these, how can they suffer? Unmoved, Unshaken was Banda Singh Bahadur ji, when his eyeballs were taken out with red hot iron rods The Torturers asked, "Of what are you made? We have tortured you in so many ways, but you did not feel or react at all" Banda Singh Bahadur ji replied, "This is the difference between you and us, you are torturing our bodies, destroying them with your tortures, but we are not our bodies, we are unaffected." "When Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji, made me his own "banda"/man/person, since then I have risen above this body. You are limited to Body, but Im not my body" Kathakaar is saying, As we are attached to our bodies, this is the reason why we suffer in this world, this fevers, this sorrows, are attached to the body. We don't see our true eternal home and the eternal Parmatma. Those who have read Satguru ji's bani, Parmatma has uplifted them above body consciousness. aad jugaad bhagtan kaa raakhaa ustat kar kar jeevaa. aad - begnning jug - age/time Jugaad - when one age/time ends and another age starts. ustat - praising greatness Parmatma is protecting his devotees since the begining and throughout the ages, Praising Parmatma the devotees live. Listen my mind, praise, adore the one Parmatma in your mind. naanak naam mahaa ras meethaa an-din man tan peevaa. ||1|| Baba Fareed ji, used to adore eating sugary food. They were very fond of it. Kathakaar is telling us, to try and drink the "kachaa"/unripe* milk of a cow. It is very sweet. Baba Fareed ji, is saying I have eaten all the sugary foods, sweeter then the sweetest is Parmatma's naam. Honey is sweet, But nothing is comparable to the name of Parmatma. Says Nanak, night and day, The body and mind drinks the amrit ras of Parmatma. har aapay la-ay milaa-ay ki-o vaychhorhaa theev-ee bal raam jee-o. Those who remember Parmatma, Parmatma merges them in his own being. We separate from our relatives, and friends again and again. But the devotees never again separate from Parmatma Like a raindrop merges into the ocean, Those whom Parmatma has merged into his being, they are never separated again. jis no tayree tayk so sadaa sad jeev-ee bal raam jee-o. Parmatma, Those who have your support, they live eternally. Worldy rulers like akbar, jahangir, Shah Jahan(King World) come and go. Bhagat Namdev ji was born in an ordinary family, Bhagat Kabeer Ji was born in an ordinary family, Your devotess. They are still remembered today. tayree tayk tujhai tay paa-ee saachay sirjanhaaraa. The sons of kings like akbar, they have inherited the rule from their fathers. Parmatma, Your support, is gotten from you. You have given the gift of your name, to your devotees. You have created the entire existence. jis tay khaalee ko-ee naahee aisaa parabhoo hamaaraa. How is parmatma? What are his signs? Satguru ji is saying, From the door of Parmatma, noone leaves empty handed. Whoever has got anything, they have got it from Parmatma, Everyone begs from the one Parmatma. Kathakaar is giving example, of how a king who was dying of thirst, when he met a woodcutter along the way, asked for some water, the woodcutter gave him some water, and the king told him, you saved my life, Take this ring of mine and come to my court and I will give you rule and wealth of many villages*. Kathakaar is now talking of how recently, during Basant, how so many kids and children spend 1000's ruppees on flying Kites. One Mahapurakh, told a person, Take lesson from the kids, and rememeber Parmatma. person said, what do you mean ? How can these kids teach me about remembering Parmatma? You see, when the kids fly kites high in the sky, on one side, they tell their mothers, "O mother, send me the cup of tea upstairs, my kite is flying too high in the sky, I cannot come down; Same time, he is talking to his neighbour friend, who is telling him, more higher, more higher let it go, Same time, he is asking his freind to free more thread, kite is going higher. But his attention is focussed on the one Kite. Like the kids atention is solely on the kite at all times, but doing saying other things as well, Same way you remember Parmatma. Muslims they have to say their five prayers at set times of the day. But Guru Sahib ji, has made it very easy for us, has told us, Gurmukh pyara remember Parmatma whichever way you can, while involved in your business work, while walking, talking to others, while doing any activity, you can remember the one Parmatma. Muslims have so many strict regulations in remembering Parmatma, they have to face the mecca while offering their prayer they cannot talk, cannot be disturbed. If someone crosses them in the front, then they think the prayer is rendered useless. So much strictness there is. Kathakaar is now going back to the story of the woodcutter, and the muslim king. When the woodcutter reached the palace of the muslim king. The woodcutter did not know anything, was illiterate. The woodcutter saw the king in a window, he was standing, and speaking something, He asked the guard, what is the king doing?? The guard said, He is doing namaz/prayer, he is asking from Allah, Parmatma. Hearing this, The woodcutter immediately started leaving to his home. The King called back, "friend, I recognise, you saved my life, by giving me water, ask what you need? What can I do for you?" Woodcutter replied, "I don't want anything from you, Because I have realized that you are a beggar and also Iam a beggar. I will ask from Parmatma. Why should a beggar beg from a beggar ? I will ask from that one, who gives you, from that one, who gives to all." Parmatma, you give to everyone, of all, you are the one giver, all beg from you, Parmatma. Kathakaar is saying, he read in a granth, about a muslim fakir/priest who was charitable, and wanted to feed someone one evening. The muslim fakir, saw a person walking past his home, it was night time, and time for dinner. The muslim fakir, called out, said, "O Brother, come and have food at my house tonight." That person became happy in the heart, and seeing a plate full of good food, went to the house of the fakir. When that person started eating food, and hardly half was eaten, then the muslim fakir slapped that person in the face. The muslim fakir became angry and said to him, "your an evil man, you did not even once thank Parmatma, not even once you took the name of Allah before eating your food, not even once you remembered Parmatma getting the gift of this food. Take the rest of the food, and get out of the house." He left the house. That night, when the muslim started doing his prayers, the muslim fakir heard "Akash Vani"/Voice from the Sky saying this, "Today your prayers will not accepted. That person who came to your house to eat food, you slapped him out of the house because he didnt remember me, while eating food. I have been feeding that person ever since he was born, I feed him, I give him, even when he doesnt remember my name. Whether he remembers me or not, I sustain him, I take care of him, Iam his creator. What made you think that you were feeding that person, what gave you the authority to slap the person and consider yourself as the judge to let him eat or not. It was I who feed everyone. Im the one giver of all" sant janaa mil mangal gaa-i-aa din rain aas tumHaaree. mangal - song of happiness, joy, bliss The devotees of Parmatma, forever sing the songs of joy and Thank the great Parmatma. Kathakaar is saying about the son of Prophet Mohammed, "The son and few of the disciples were going to haj in mecca, On the first night of the journey, they didnt get any food. The son asked them, let us thank God. Disciples thought, what thank? We didnt even eat today. Anyway they did Thank Parmatma. The second day, same thing, the disciples revolted a bit, as they had no food for two days. The third day, the disciples didnt thank Parmatma. But Prophet Mohammed's son, said to them, we should thank Parmatma, Only Parmatma knows our good. Who knows, we would have got into trouble if we were given something to eat." Parmatma, during the day, you support, during the night, you support, Without you, we have no support, we are forever thankful to you. You are our only care-taker. You know the good for us all. Day and night, your devotees, join to sing, the songs of joy and thank you, Vaahiguroo. safal daras bhayti-aa gur pooraa naanak sad balihaaree. ||2|| The beloveds of Parmatma, thier sight darshan is blessed to have. We are a sacrifice to them. sammHli-aa sach thaan maan mahat sach paa-i-aa bal raam jee-o. sammHli-aa - carefully take care of, Like when the mother says to her child, "Sambhal kai rakh lai jaib vich, gum na kari", Carefully keep this in your pocket, don't lose it. Satguru ji is saying, Carefully keep, take hold of the Parmatma in your heart, remember Parmatma, you will obtain honor, greatness and the eternal place. This way you will meet the true Parmatma. satgur mili-aa da-i-aal gun abhinaasee gaa-i-aa bal raam jee-o.

That blessed day when Parmatma, has merged you in his ownself. When your consciousness is attached to, The inner knower Parmatma. sat santokh vajeh vaajay anhadaa jhunkaaray. It is the belief of adhyatmik purushs, that when one single mindedly remembers Parmatma, continously, then a state will dawn within, and the person will percieve ik ras Jaap/ one continous blissful Jaap of Parmatma going within, which we call anhada jhunkaaray, which we call the panj shabad. Those who absorb sat/truth and santokh/contenment within and remember Parmatma. In them, one continous blissful Jaap Of Parmatma goes on. sun bhai binaasay sagal naanak parabh purakh karnaihaaray. ||3|| Hearing the ik ras jaap/ one continous blissful jaap of Parmatma within, the mind, consciousness does not go out searching, It has become inwardly attached to Parmatma's simran. No fear is left in the mind. Remembering Parmatma, they have become one with the form of Parmatma. upji-aa tat gi-aan saahurai pay-ee-ai ik har bal raam jee-o. tat means essence, liberation, principle When the Gurmukh pyaray realize the liberation, when they have realized that parmatma, you are here and there, everywhere you are in this world and world beyond, Then in the mind, no fear of anything is left. For all is you, Parmatma sabh gobind hai, sabh gobind hai, gobind bin nahi koi all is parmatma, all is parmatma, without parmatma is noone They remember Parmatma in this way. barahmai barahm mili-aa ko-ay na saakai bhinn kar bal raam jee-o. When the soul merges with Parmatma, then noone can differentiate them. Like water mixes with water. bisam paykhai bisam sunee-ai bismaad nadree aa-i-aa. bismad - blissful wonderful meaning who cannot described The Gurmukh pyaray see that sight, which cannot be described, hear that, which cannot be described, The One Parmatma they behold wihin. jal thal mahee-al pooran su-aamee ghat ghat rahi-aa samaa-i-aa.

Tu Tu Kartaa Tu Huaa, You, You Remembering, became You From where it came, into that it has merged. It is the eternal source of Joy, Bliss, peace and is obtained Not through wealth, worldly good or maya. Only through the rememberance of Parmatma, it is obtained jis kay chalat na jaahee lakh-nay naanak tiseh Dhi-aa-ay. ||4||2|| The One Parmatma, whose ways cannot be described. Says Satguru Nanak, Remember that Parmatma always. Keep your consciousness focussed on Parmatma. Kathakaar is saying, due to the very long hukamnama, and less time, he could not go into detail of some complicated subjects and to do kirpa on him and forgive mistakes and may this essence become a part of our lives.

One cannot find Parmatma, through any dress or garb, saffron robes, or shaving the head. The mind has to be shaved of filth, not the head. A person does not change, by changing dress, but a person changes when his/her thoughts change. Once a jogi, smeared in ashes, symbolizing that all world is false, all will be ashes, came to Satguru ji. His dress of smearing in ashes, symbolized that he has left all associations with the world and is detached from it. That Jogi came and started talking with Satguru about various things, One of Guru's sikh was behind, doing the seva of chaur sahib. He was listening to the conversation, and everytime the Jogi spoke to Guru ji, that Sikh, used to imitate the Jogi, making fun of him. The Jogi, tolerated for sometime, but after sometime became very angry, and said, Satguru ji, look at this sikh of yours, he has no respect, when two Mahapurakhs are doing discussion, he is imitating me everytime. That jogi thinks of himself as a "Mahapurakh". Satguru ji, asked the sikh, to explain what he was doing. The sikh said, Satguru ji, I was only seeing if this Jogi really has ashes within or fire of maya within. Satguru ji, your bani says, antar agan baahar tan su-aah Within is fire, outside is ashes gal paathar kaisay tarai athaah wearing a heavy stone around the neck, how can he cross the unfathomable ocean of life? Satguru ji has said, by rubbing ashes on the body, one does not become one with parmatma. Kathakaar is telling another one , about a gidar / Jackal who fell into water which had blue dye, so his skin color changed into blue. One sherni/Lioness saw him and asked "who are you?" The gidar replied, "Parmatma has sent me, and Iam your king" Kathakaar is saying this is case with the sants these days, He goes on to say that word "sant" has been used four contexts by Guru Granth Sahib ji. 1. Sant, It is used for Parmatma 2. Sant, It is used for Guru Sahib ji 3. Sant, It is used for the Bhagats, whose bani is Guru Granth Sahib ji, like Bhagat Kabeer ji, Bhagat Namdev 4. Sant, It is used for SatSangat, that congregation of Gursikhs, like People gathering in Gurudwara with Guru Granth Sahib ji, that congrgation is also sant sang. Kathakaar is saying It is not used for any single individual, but congregation. Guru Sahib ji, used the word "Bhai" instead, like Bhai Gurdas ji, Bhai Randheer Singh ji, Bhai Nand Lal ji .. etc.. Guru Sahib ji, used Bhai, we are all one, and our father is the one parmatma. Today's False indivduals call themselves and advertise themselves as Sant, and tell us to renounce everything, eat only dal, whereas they themselves are living in big houses, Driving expensive cars, eating all food delicacies and telling the poor person, who just uses an inexpensive scooter, to renounce that as well. If we look at the life of Guru Nanak Sahib ji, then we will see that Guru ji did not renounce anything, Guru ji has his house, has his own land, they did renounce maya, but they renounced it in a different way. It is by sharing with others. Vand Chakna. Kathakaar is saying to be beware of people who call themselves Sants and not follow anyone but Satguru Granth Sahib ji. Kathakaar is saying, we goto sadh/sant, to get peace in our busy lives, these sadh sant, have failed grade 5 in school, and they go out and become sadh sant. Kathakaar is also saying, we never call a humble person wearing, pant shirt, "a sant", but when we see someone dressed up in Bana, and does not even know oorhaa airhaa, we readily call that one a sant, and start bowing to them, even though if that person is more corrupt. We are attached to dress more then the inner quality Kathakaar is giving example of one incident in history, Satguru ji, when he went into a particular region to preach, where the dress code was different, In order to preach there, Satguru ji, in order to teach his sikhs an important lesson as well, dressed up in lungi as well. Bhai Maan Singh ji, looked at Satguru ji, and said, you have become "tankhya"( not following the panth ) Satguru ji said, "Changing the outer dress, the person within does not change, But changes only when the mind within has become pure or corrupt" Jaisa Des Taisa Bhais As is the country, So is the dress. As long as our soul has not reached inner spiritual heights, till then we are not pure, by wearing outer dress, nothing within will change. Satguru ji, hunted a tiger once, and removed his flesh and put it on top of a donkey. The donkey seeing his tiger flesh, went hither and thiter destroying crops, thinking himself to be tiger, until its owner recognised his lost donkey, garbed in tiger skin. Kathakaar is saying, when Guru Hargobind Sahib ji became the Guru, many sikhs started doubting him, because Satguru ji was not at all similar in lifestyle to the previous 5 gurus, Satguru ji's dress was also different, started wearing weapons, started going on hunting expeditions, ignored sikhs, but instead gave love to deciets like Painde Khan, Satguru ji was teaching us lessons which had to be taught. Satguru ji did not call "Sant", Satguru ji, always has used "Bhai" / Brother. If we look at the history, we see the life of Bhai Mardana ji, who stayed his whole life with Guru ji, but Guru did not call him Sant, but "Bhai", his own Brother. If we look at the 5 pyaras, who came out of the crowd of hundreds thousands, Satguru ji, did not call them "sant" but called them "Bhai", Bhai Daya Singh ji, Bhai Dharam Singh.. Kathakaar is then describing the history of Nanakana Sahib and how it was freed of the "Mahants" there, about some Individuals used to loot the people and abuse them. Kathakaar is telling us to start doing Sehaj Path of Guru Granth Sahib ji, He is saying, very few are people who have read Guru Granth Sahib ji, from begninng to end. In Today's Hukamnama, Satguru ji is saying, through outer dress or garb, you will not obtain parmatma. Let us absorb todays hukamnama in our lives. Satinaam Sri vaahiguroo Sorath mehlaa 9. man ray gahi-o na gur updays. In Sorath Raag, Satguru Tegh Bahadur ji is giving us hukamnama. Sorath raag is a night time raag, feeling of motivation, Virtues of God. 9pm-12am O my mind, you have not lived, you have not obeyed/listened/accepted(suni-a) Satguru ji's Teaching. Satguru ji, has sacrificed everything for us, but we have not done anything for Satguru ji If we cannot do anything for Satguru ji. If we cannot give anything to Satguru ji. Then, atleast let us not put black marks in the name of sikhi. Let us not become alcholics and call ourselves sikhs, or engage in corruption and call ourselves sikh. What does Satguru ji want of us? Does he want us to earn sins and return back to him?? or to do good deeds and follow the way he has shown us. When a parent leaves us, the last words of his parent, that the child always does. Have we followed the updesh of Satguru Gobind Singh ji? Who is our Guru? Who do we follow? Who do we keep in our mind? Maya or Satguru Granth Sahib ji? Who do we give our love to? We have to think about this more, and the great Sacrifices, Satguru ji has done for us. kahaa bha-i-o ja-o mood mudaa-i-o bhagva-o keeno bhays. ||1|| rahaa-o. Kathakaar is saying, We have become amritdhari, but what is the use, we still tell lies and do corruption? What is the difference between non-amritdhari, who says lies, and one who is amritdhari, and says lies? When the mind had to be shaved of corruption,Satguru ji, is saying what will Shaving the head do? What will adorning the bana/garb do, when within is fire of maya. saach chhaad kai jhoothah laagi-o janam akaarath kho-i-o. Satguru ji, is telling what is saying truth, and what is telling lies. When someone is suffering, and by your telling lies, that person becomes happy, that is good, even if you go into loss. To understand what this really means, and which situation it applies to, Kathakaar is giving example When some corrupt murderes are chasing a woman, and that woman trying to save her life and respect, finds a place to hide. She hides herself in a place, and we see it. The corrupt murderes when they ask us, and if we tell "the truth", thinking of doing a great deed by telling "the truth", that she is hiding over there. Then there is no greater sin then this. This is the greatest sin. Instead, tell lies, and save the life of the woman. This is what it means, to tell lies, and save someone lives. Where someone benefits, where someone suffers, say those words, that will help that person, even if its your own loss. when 1000 people will be fed, by your telling lies, when 1000 lives will be saved, by your telling the wrong information. That is good, merit, "pun". You will have to find for yourself, and know from your own intuition where to say the lies, and where to say true. Satguru ji, is saying, leaving the truthful way, and attaching to corruption, this precious life is being wasted kar parpanch udar nij pokhi-o pas kee ni-aa-ee so-i-o. ||1|| parpanch - decits, cheating, corrupt works, hypocrisy doing filthy works, eating and then sleeping like an animal. raam bhajan kee gat nahee jaanee maa-i-aa haath bikaanaa. Not knowing the way of God's devotion, Sold in the hands of Maya. urajh rahi-o bikhi-an sang ba-uraa naam ratan bisraanaa. ||2|| entangled in vice and corruption; and not recognizing the jewel of the Naam. ||2|| rahi-o achayt na chayti-o gobind birthaa a-oDh siraanee. Wasting precious moments, thoughtless, not remembering Gobind, and life is uselessly passing away. kaho naanak har birad pachhaana-o bhoolay sadaa paraanee. ||3||10|| Satguru Nanak, this person is forever making mistakes, please be merciful and wakeup this person. Bless this person with your rememberance. Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ki fateh Wednesday's Katha - 21/02/2007 forgive any mistakes.

Satguru is your sole supporter, establish all relations with Satguru ji. None other will go with you. Know that this world is a dream. With humility, pray to Satguru, empty your heart, know that you have nothing/noone other then Satguru ji. Let us read and contemplate by Satguru Arjan Dev ji, Todays Hukamanma in Raag Soohee. Here is a brief description about Raag Soohee. "Soohee is an expression of such devotion that the listener experiences feelings of extreme closeness and undying love. The listener is bathed in that love and genuinely comes to know what it means to adore." - Prof Surinder Singh Being away from home. The soul being away from the House of Lord and the joy of meeting the true husband. raag soohee is perfomed between 9am-12pm saajan purakh satgur mayraa pooraa tis bin avar na jaanaa raam. saajan - good natured, friend, companion purakh - being, personality pooraa - complete, perfect, greatest, highest, whole tis - in reference to Satguru, that, whom bin - without avar - another na - not jaanaa - know raam - all pervading Lord Kathakaar is talking about "ounkar" It is in Saajan(u), Purakh(u), Satguru , ਸਾਜਨੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ.

Satguru is my perfect beloved companion, like my Satguru, another one, I know not, noone i have, Without Satguru, noone i know, other then Satguru, O my Lord. All worldy friends and companions only come to go, at the moment of death, all leave everyone. my mind; why seek their company?

More dear then all, is my beloved Satguru ji Kathakaar is telling about a sikh of the Guru, who was holding the nishaan sahib of Satguru ji, So much love, that when the knees were cut, the nishaan sahib was still held with the mouth. So much love, death cannot kill, forever serving you, singing your praise, bless me with this gift. jee-o pind sabh tis kaa dee-aa sarab gunaa bharpooray. jee-o - life, soul pind - body, village sabh - all dee-aa - given sarab - all gunaa - virtues bhar - fill pooray -completely bharpooray - completely filled This life, soul and body, all, Satguru has given Satguru ji is the embodiment of all virtues.

Parmatma is the destroyer of sorrows, of pains; is the treasure of virtues. The devotees, the lovers of Parmatma, they have Parmatma in thier control, they are Parmatma's beloved. Have faith in Parmatma, his power is above all. Kathakaar was talking about how Guru ji did kirpa on one family, and the birth/gender prediction machine told they will have a particular gender child, but the mother wanted the opposite gender, and did ardaas to Guru ji, the ardaas was granted and Guru ji's power proved the machines wrong. sant charan gur sayvaa laagay tinee param pad paa-ay raam.

From where you came, To whom you belong, Like the river flows into the ocean, so will you absorb, become one with your owner Parmatma. naanak naam niranjan japee-ai mil satgur sukh paa-i-aa. ||3|| Guru Nanak Says, contemplate, think about the greatness of the Parmatma's name, Remembering Parmatma's name, you will be filled with Supreme bliss joy happiness.

Parmatma is in all hearts, pervading all space. In every particle interspace, Parmatma is present. kaho naanak kaaraj saglay pooray gur charnee man laa-ee. ||4||2||5|| Says Nanak, Those devotees have all their works completed, who have attached themselves to the Guru's feet, shabad of Satguru. What is the state of those ? who have attached themselves to Satguru's feet? In Davygandharee, Satguru Arjan Sahib jee is telling us. Satguru ji, your words are ambrosial nectar for me. Kathakaar is telling of a story about, when a sikh, used to turn his back during certain lines of gurbani kirtan. When asked why you are doing this? the sikh said, this is because some lines of Gurbani are slapping me in the face, thats why i turn my face. But Those who are one with parmatma, all words of Satguru are sweet Kathakaar, is saying, all words of Satguru are ambrosial sweet to that one, who is attached to Satguru's feet. For them, Parmatma is very sweet, enticing to the mind, peaceful, blissful. They need not dynasties, or kingdoms, they need not liberation of any type. All they need is to be attached to Satguru's feet, to Satguru's shabad. Those who are melted in love of God, are those who have become one with Parmatma, They say "Satguru ji, Do mercy on me, I only want to be united with your feet." All gods, goddesses they all thirst, they all seek the darshan/sight of Parmatma. Im a beggar, I have come to your door, O Parmatma, Beautiful Parmatma, my mind is attached to you. You have carried me across the terrifying world ocean. You have lifted me above births deaths. Kathakaar, is saying join the satsangat, and sing the praises of Parmatma. singing the praises of Parmatma, you will be carried across. Those who sing, their lineage's family ancestory is also carried across. On whom parmatma has done kirpa, they remember parmatma every moment. eating, sleeping, working, they remember parmatma. Parmatma is the protector of his devotees. Who is not met through any dress or garb. Singing beautiful songs, but they have ahankaar within. In this way, Parmatma is not obtained. Those who know the 4 vedas, who speak very sweet words, are intelligent, beautiful, Still not met through any of your means and attempts. Satguru ji is saying, This gursikhi, thinner then the width of the hair, the path is sharper then the double edged sword, you will not cross across like this. Know that Parmatma is not met, until Satguru does kirpa, until Satguru does mercy on you. Know that a beggar cannot get anything on its own, without the grace of the giver. Pray to Satguru, for Satguru is the All powerful Parmatma, Lord of all, Pray to Satguru, so that he does kirpa on you, and you can meet Parmatma. Through Satguru ji's grace, the effort to meet Parmatma, we make. Forgive any mistakes. Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo ji ki fateh Katha translation of 21/02/2007

On that person, upon whom the Lord does kirpa,that person recieves updesh(true advice) from Satguru ji. Satuguru ji is saying, that our relatives, friends, parents, spouse, they are not our true companions, and will not be our support in the world hereafter. They will not go along with us in the world hereafter. In the world hereafter only Satguru ji, will go with us, and is our only companion, our support. When we will go into the house of God, dargeh of Parmatma, then if we don't have good virtues in our bag, then we will not receive honor, we will be neglected. Dharmraj, the judge of good and bad actions of the world, also says those who have gathered virtues in their bag, will obtain honor. Parmatma, is with us at all times. In your mind, you are thinking of your relatives and friends, but none of these will go with you. You will be responsible for your own actions and deeds, none of these will support you in the world hereafter. Kabeer ji says, That family who you think as your own, for that wealth, for the sake of relatives, you are collecting it, they will not go with you. Wakeup sleeping soul and start gathering virtues in your bag. When maya comes, ahaankar increases, when maya leaves, sorrow increases. Dont seek the pleasure of maya. Absorb yourself in the peace of Parmatma's naam. It will stay with you here and hereafter. Let us absorb in the updesh of Hukamnama, Satinaam Vaahiguroo Satguru Arjan Dev ji has blessed us with today's hukamnama in Dhanasaari Raag. Hindus, Muslims say, Parmatma lives only in Mecca, Jagannath temple etc. Or Parmatma lives in the sky. Satguru Gobind Singh ji has said, Some bow towards west, some east; present everywhere, all pervading, is Parmatma. Jin Prem Kio tin hi prabh paiyo Satguru Tegh Bahadur Ji has said, Why go and search for Parmatma in forests? Everpresent with you, is Parmatma. Someone asked a sufi sant, "If Parmatma is in the heart? How to obtain Parmatma?" sufi sant said, "We will tell you later, now Let us go and take bath in the river first" When that person went to take a dip in the river, the sufi sant, put his hand on the head, and did not let him come out, just when that person was on his last breath. The sufi sant, took off his hand, and brought him out. that person said, "If you did not want to tell me about Parmatma, why are you drowning me to my death?" Sufi sant said, "When you were in the water, where you thinking about your family or relations or anyone?" Person said, "No, I was only thinking about saving my life" Sufi Sant said, "When you think of only Parmatma, and noone else, you will find Parmatma, devote yourself to Parmatma" Ramakrishna after hearing clever arguments on the proof that parmatma does not exist from a person said "I believe more in Parmatma now, after hearing such intelligent arguments, such a clever person like you, who could have created you" Just as in forests, fire is unseen. Just as in clouds, rain water is unseen Parmatma is in all. All is Parmatma, Without Parmatma is noone. Sabh Gobind Hai, Sabh Gobind hai, Gobind bin nahi koi. Speak sweet words to all, Parmatma is in all. Whereever I look, there I see you Parmatma. Don't differentiate anyone based on color or appearance, or judge beauty by color or appearance, but by virtues in Guru Granth Sahib ji. Parmatma never was or will be separate from us, do simran of Parmatma. Know Parmatma as the eternal one. Those pleasures which pass away with the blink of an eye, in a instant are trivial, Don't seek those, but seek the bliss Parmatma's simran. Paramatma is sustaining, nourishing everyone by giving them food, and does not differentiate if someone is muslim, sikh, hindu, good or bad, virtue or no virtue. Parmatma's supplies never run short. With each and every breath, Parmatma is taking care of his creatures. Parmatma cannot be decieved, cannot be cut/hole, Parmatma is infinite, Great, high is the form of Parmatma. Rememembering wondrous Parmatma, we dwell in bliss, filled with wonder. Satguru ji, Bless this beggar with such understanding to remember you all times. Iam a sacrifice to your devoteees , who remember you, bless me with the dust of those devotees, so I stay in humility.

If we think of the worldy religions, then in total there are about 350. Where there would have been universal appeal for them, but they are narrow within themselves. For example, the world of islam, think that Allah only understands and recognises Arabic language. Hindu Brothers think that in the house of parmatma, think only language of the shesh nag(thousand headed snake) is spoken only, Sehaskritee/ Sanskrit is only the language there. Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee, did not confine dharam/religion inside any boundaries. Like a well, or a stream, river; its purpose is to quench thirst of the people; Same way the purpose of religion is give peace to people. For this reason, Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee went to different pilgrimage centres, went to mecca, went to hindu sacred places, and spread the True Teachings. Satguru Maharaj ji went and met one islamic priest, and that priest recognised him as Satguru of all, and asked several questions to make his life successful. And Today's Hukamnama, is related to this, that Satguru Nanak Sahib jee went to different places and removed thier doubts. When various people from various places came to Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee, then Guru ji, removed their doubts by teaching them the truth by giving examples of their own regions/cultures. For example, one musalman, asked Guru Nanak Sahib jee several questions. The very first question he asked was. 1. What is the real name of God? When we read in the various scriptures we see several ways that "name" has been defined. One is a relational name (for example, sita raam,from ramayana), one is of the caste name,( for example raghu vir raam, raghu is a caste dynasty). But our Gurus did not follow this system, and gave us the name "Vaahiguroo". Vidvaans, have done 3 meanings of the word Vaahiguroo. Vahiguroo - One who gives inspiration, One who is wondrous form achraj saroop, and Bismaad roop form In Today's hukamnama, Gurdev used the very first line, which is resembling the achraj saroop. According to Snatan Dharma, Brahma is considered the creator, vishnu the nourisher.. In Hindu Purana's , there is a story that Brahma was born from the navel of Vishnu, Then the doubter is thinking, if Brahma is born from the navel of Vishnu, then from where is Vishnu born? Guru Nanak Sahib jee has said that there is only one God and there are millions of Brahma's and vishnu's. In Jaap Sahib, we read daily, it's sacred words, Akrita Krit hain. Meaning, Parmatma is not created. O Parmatma, you are wondrous, my mind is in love with you, seeing your beautiful creation. deen dunee-aa ayk toohee sabh khalak hee tay paak. rahaa-o. deen - heavens, beyond this world. dunee-aa - this world Khalak - people, world Different languages have different meanings of the same word, in this line. In arabic / Paak - pavittr, pure In sanskrit / Paak - Kitchen, rasoi In punjabi /paak - flthy bad blood We have to know what Gurdev is saying, and use that appropriate meaning for paak. Parmatma, you the Lord of this world and the worlds beyond, remaining among the (filth)people of this world, You are pure, pavittr. For example, a lamp's work is do give light, it can be used by a priest in a temple, or by prostitute in her home, the priest does good work with it, whereas the prostitute does filth, using the light of the lamp. But the lamp is neither pure nor good. For example, the duty of sun is to give light, it falls equally on the muddy pool of water, it falls equally on a Gurudwara, Its purpose is to give light. Such is parmatma forever pure among the filth of this world. Guru Amar Das ji, when he was young in his earlier age, before becoming Guru, one time while he was sitting, a hindu astrologer by chance noticed padam rakha, the fortune line on Guru ji's foot, and bowed to Guru ji, and said, Baba ji, you will one day have the canopy over your head. You will be the Lord of the three worlds. Guru Amar Das ji, said this is good thing, that you have told, tell me what gift you want? the Astrologer said, Not right now Baba ji, When the time comes I will ask you. Later, when Guru Amar Das ji, became the Guru and established the city of Goindwal, and had a great following, lot of people came and the news spread to that astrologer. The astrologer came to the court of Guru ji, he couldnt control his laughter also, because his prediction turned true, Guru ji also recognised him. Guru ji asked, Pandit ji you have come, ask for your gift. But Guru ji said, be thoughful of what you ask for, if you want worldy gifts, or gifts for beyond this worlds. Astrologer, said Guru ji, I do not want to beg from people's door to door for worldy things, Guru ji do mercy on me, give me both the gifts of this world and the next, the world beyond. Guru ji did mercy, and fulfilled the wish of that pandit. Same way, in this line of Today's hukanama, Guru ji is saying, that the one Parmatma controls all matters not only in this world, but also in the next world, the world beyond. The one Parmatma is present in both this world and worlds beyond this world, present among the world,people of this world, you are pure. khin maahi thaap uthaapadaa aacharaj tayray roop. As you wish, You destroy and create in an instant. You are wondrous O Parmatma. In an instant, you convert a king to a beggar and a beggar to a king. In an instant, you convert a desert to rainforests. O Lord, your works are wondrous. They are awe-inspiring. You have infinite forms, from one drop of water, a creature is born, you created eyes for them to see, ears to hear. wondrous is your works. Who can desrcibe your wondrous acts? In this world, all around is darkness, O Parmatma, you are the light in it. You are the owner; Lord of all creation. You never get angry on us, even though we are involved in filth, you are forever merciful on us. Just like a mother who is merciful to his child, even though the child can be bad. But the mother is always forever merciful. Bhai Sham Singh ji is saying, that the tree of peepal, or anyother tree provides shade from the sun, But the shade of mother is even deeper. Those who remember you, Lord, they do not go to hell, those who remember you with the rising sun, and the setting sun, they do not goto hell. In quran, muslim dharma, there are four angels, one of them azraael which takes the soul out of the body, at the time of death. Satguru ji is saying, you would not be afraid of Azraael, the angel/messenger of death. He will become your friend, if you remember God's name. He will become your servant, if you remember , if you take the support of the Lord. Kathakar is now saying that we should not add extra, our own words in the ardaas. Like Teg Bahadar Simriye Ghar Nau Nidh Awai Dhaai Sabh Thaaeen Hoi Sahai Some ppl they add Guru Teg Bahadar Simriye, or hind ki chaddr, Teg Bahadar Simriye.. We should not modify the words of Guru Gobind Singh in the ardaas. As Guru ji has written. We should read it. All sins are destroyed by having your blessed sight. This world is only temporary place. True place, True home is your name. True peace will come from your Name. Only praise the one Lord. O Parmatma, unite me with the true congregation which have not forgotten you, remove my pride, make me the servant of your servants, who have not forgotten you. Bless me so that I can sing your praises before sunrise. Bless me with the sight of those beings who have not forgotten you. So that I may forever sing your praises with every breath. May I forever earn the bliss of your name. Parmatma, you are forever with me, you never leave me. You are the treasure of peace. I have expereinced all sort of joys, but O Parmatma, the joy that is in meeting you, that joy is not found in any other thing. That person is fortunate who remembers you. Those souls are married to their Lord, in their hearts is eternal peace bliss. forgive any mistakes, hukamnama katha translation of Monday 19/02/2007 Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ke fateh

On Whom Satguru ji becomes merciful, that sikh receives Satguru ji's hukam. Today's hukamnama is in Sorath raag by Guru Arjan Dev Maharaj ji. The first line of the hukamnama is relating to a fever, and the last two lines refer to Guru Hargobind Sahib ji, the son of Guru Arjan Dev ji, saved from the fever. In this hukamnama, Satguru ji is praising the Lord, for the fever of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji has been dispelled. In the olden days, moslty sikhs came from the low castes. Satguru ji gave love to all. The higher castes of those time, committed many cruelties on the lower castes, Shudras, Untouchables. If any word of Veda, was heard by them, they would undergo torture, or if they said any word of dharma or religion, their tongues would be cut. As the people of those times had so much fear of gods and goddesses and worshipped them for boons or cure, so Whenever someone caught a disease, they would say, "mata has taken over this person", meaning the goddesses has taken over this person, there is no cure, but to pray to mata/goddesses and get the cure of this. This phrase is also in the book, "mera pind" In history texts, Guru Hargovind Sahib ji was about 3 yrs old, when he got the fever, the ppl said, he has got sheetala. meaning Goddess Sheetala has possessed the child. If we look in the history texts, like Sooraj Granth, we will find our history has been distorted, by brahmans. For example, in Sooraj Granth, it is written for this particular incident, that Satguru Arjan Dev ji, performed durga pooja for the cure of Guru Hargovind Sahib ji. But a sikh will know this as false as this does not concur with the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, They are two opposite directions. Our Satguru ji has given us hukam to worship the one Lord of billions of durga goddesses. So why will Satguru ji worship any goddess, Those stories relating to worship to goddesses in our history text of Suraj Granth is baseless. Just like in Islam, the believers they think that there is nothing superior to Quran in bible, it is written to kick a guest out, who doesnt have the bible teachings in their heart. Just like in Hinduism, it is written to give superiorty to Vedas, when doubts arise, over texts in simritees, puraanas etc Same way, in Sikhism, when the question, we have to give superiorty to Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Guru Arjan Sahib ji's son, Guru Hargovind Sahib ji was cured, by blessings of Akaal Purakh. Let us learn and absorb what Guru ji is going to tell us in Today's Hukamnama. But before, Let us all together say, Satinaam Vaahiguroo. sorath mehlaa 5. taap gavaa-i-aa gur pooray. In Sorath Raag, Guru Arjan Sahib ji is telling us the fever of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji has been dispelled through worship of Akaal Purakh. Not through any worship of gods/devtaas goddesses/devis. Poojaa Akaal ki, Parchaa Shabad ka, Deedar Khalsay da The three types of fever are of mind, body, social. This body of five elements, one of the five elements is fire, when the temperature of this element goes high or too low, we get fever. When there are quarrels in home, then there is anxiety in the mind. there is hatred, there is unrest. It is best to do simran. When there were so many wars going on and cruelty of the mughal rulers. In the midst of this unrest, Satguru ji had given us the gift of Sukhmani Sahib ji, reciting it, all anxieties, pains, troubles, fevers are dispelled. There is no fire of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahaankar, When there is simran of Parmatma, there is peace, contentment, love in the heart. vaajay anhad tooray. Through the grace of Akaal Purakh, the fever has been dispelled, Through Satguru ji's updesh, the one unstruck sweet melody of the soul is heard. sarab kali-aan parabh keenay. True peace, happiness can only be obtained in the presence of Satguru ji. If we have think we can obtain peace and hapiness from outside? Satguru ji is saying, Gurmukh pyaray, It's your mistake. Peace can be obtained from simran, The destroyer of sorrow is the amrit naam of Parmatma. Dukh Bhanjan Tayraa naam ji. Sometimes we think if we change our place of living, if we move to a new house, or to a new city, or goto to a foreign country, we will find happiness there. Because We didnt find any happiness in this house, this place, this country. Satguru ji is saying, days chhod pardayseh Dhaa-i-aa. panch chandaal naalay lai aa-i-aa. ||4|| leaving own country, you wander in foreign lands, bringing along the five thieves with you. days disantar bhav thakay tuDh andar aap lukaa-i-aa. growing weary they wander through foreign lands and countries, but parmatma, you have hid yourself within. Gurmukh pyaray, In whose heart, Parmatma resides even for a moment, is rid of all sorrow. days disantar mai saglay jhaagay. khin rahan na paava-o bin pag paagay. this country, foreign lands, All I have travelled, I cannot survive, even for an instant without the feet of my beloved. Those who have accumulated loads of wealth are not happy. Kathakaar is now giving an example about Jahangir, a mughal ruler. Jahangir once came to the famous court of the saint mian mir, to make a request for an ardaas to Allah, so that he can win the war in the south. After saying this request, he gave a 1 ruppe coin to mian mir, but mian mir said, give this to some beggar, around, we have no need of this. Jahangir went about to the saints gathered around mian mir, and offered it to everyone of them, but none of them took it, and all of them said, we have no need of this, give this to some beggar who needs this maya. Then, Jahangir again came back to mian mir, and said "I couldnt find anyone who was willing to take this." Mian Mir told him, "you have not understood it, who the beggar is? " Jahangir became very ashamed, as he realized he was the one who was the beggar, begging for more maya, begging to make an ardaas, so that he wins the war in the south. But all the saints here are satisfied in the name of God. Another example, when Guru Hargobind Sahib ji had camped near a place , and there was also jahangir camped nearby. One person mistankly went to Jahangir, and offered his honest earning infront, and said, to bless him with the peace, happiness of "parlok". But Jahangir, told him, I can give you wealth maya, kingdom in this world. But I cannot give you the happiness, peace of heavens. Then he said, You must be looking for Sachay Paatshaah Guru Hargobind Sahib ji, they are camped over there. Quickly, the sikh got up, without fear, took his honest offering back and went to Satguru ji. Satguru ji is saying, Gurmukh pyaray, Those in whose house,there is less, those who have less belongings in this world, they are more happier. When Kabeer ji's house was burnt, and all his belongings were also burnt along with it. Kabeer ji when he reached and saw that his house is burning. He noticed few things, that were still not burnt. Kabeer ji, said, take this also, take this also, this is yours, you forgot this Parmatma, and threw it in the fire. Kabeer ji, was unattached to anything. Sukh is obtained in the presence of Satguru ji, In the simran of Parmatma. kar kirpaa aap deenay. ||1|| Parmamta gives directly, not through any medium. Satguru ji has made our direct contact with Parmatma. Satguru ji has said. Iam the servant of the all pervading Lord, I have come to see this world drama. these days, we goto religious people, and ask them to do ardaas for us. This is not right. baydan satgur aap gavaa-ee. This pain, anxiety, sorrow is dispelled through the grace of Satguru ji. When we see things that others get,but not us, we should still be thankful to God for what we already have. When a muslim priest who didnt have even shoes to wear, and used to pray five times a day, obey the rasool. But when he saw, another person who didnt do anything, but had more then him. He became filled with hatred. Later, when we went to masjid, and saw that a person, who had no legs, but was doing namaz and Thanking Allah. He became ashamed and realized his mistake. Thank Satguru ji for everything we have. Some Old ppl have said, "looking at the red happy face of others, we should not slap ourselves(through greed/jealousy) and make our face red." sikh sant sabh sarsay ho-ay har har naam Dhi-aa-ee. rahaa-o. sikh, sants, all are imbued with bliss listening to the updesh to Satguru ji. They do not worship water, sun, fire, or moon, they only worship Akaal Purkh. It is the duty of sikh to daily do simran of Satguru ji. Be in the presence of Satguru ji, Absorb the teachings of Satguru ji. jo mangeh so layveh. What we need, we should ask from Satguru ji, absorb yourself in the presence of Satguru ji. Your needs/wants will be fulfilled by Satguru ji. No worldy person can fullfil your wants. Be in the presence of the complete Satguru ji, all others are incomplete, imperfect, they cannot fulfil your needs, Ask from Satguru ji what you need. Satguru ji is your mother, Satguru ji is your father, Satguru ji is your Divine Lord, Satguru ji is your Divine Beloved. Satguru ji, is saying, if you ask for your needs from your one and only true support, Then Parmatma will do mercy, and your wishes will be fullfilled. parabh apni-aa santaa dayveh. Parmatma gives his devotess, what they asked for. har govid parabh raakhi-aa. The fever of Hargovind Sahib ji has been dispelled through the mercy of Akaal Purakh. Kathakaar is giving example, that the moon that shivji has adorned is impure itself, even when the moon tries to wash itself in the ganga. It is not washed of its sin. This impurity that we suffer from cannot be removed by any devi/devtay. They cannot give us anything. jan naanak saach subhaakhi-aa. ||2||6||70|| subhaakhi-aa - saying, ucharan Satguru Nanak is saying this true words, through worship, through simran of one All pervading Lord, all your sorrows and pains will be removed.

But those sikhs did not give it to him, saying, this is for satguru jee only, not for you. They then proceeded with the honey to Satguru ji. Upon reaching Satguru ji, the honey had insects in it, and was smelling bad. Satguru ji said, this is because you didnt feed my beloved sikh, Know it that between me and my beloved gursikh, there is no difference. Hearing this, they asked forgiveness and proceeded to give the honey to that gursikh as told by Satguru ji. Upon reaching the gursikh, the honey changed back to fresh fragrance honey. When Baba Buddha ji requested some sikhs to do some kirtan, because he was thirsting to hear the beloved words of the Guru, the sikhs didnt do it, but instead they went to Guru Amardas ji, and started doing kirtan there, Guru Amardas ji, turned his backs on the kirtan doings sikhs.

We try to find you in mountains, forests, in rivers, temples. Satguru ji is saying, Look within your ownself, Parmatma is there. Look for Parmatma within your own self. Why go and search in forests?

When the drop of water merges into the ocean, it cannot be distinguished as separate again. ||2||1||117|| guroo roop sadhsangat jee, guroo roop khalsa jee, today's hukamnama by Satguru Arjan Dev jee in Bilaaval Raag is about leaving our own "I" haumai. In leaving our Identity, haumai is liberation itself. "I" is what keeps us away from God. If we abandon this feeling of I, then we have obtained liberation. Everything was created by God, this body and soul, this mind belongs to God. To some God is merciful, and they have met him in Satguru ji. Satguru ji has given this advice, to abandon your own haumai, "It is I". When we do some work, we have to think it is Satguru jee doing it, It is for Satguru jee you are doing everything. We are nothing but a tool of Satguru jee, in this way Satguru jee will take care of us in every way. Because whatever we do in this world, our mind is with Satguru jee. It will merge with Satguru jee. In hindu Dharma, there is this notion of three worlds, trilok. In muslim dharma, there is notion of fourteen worlds, and that God resides in the 7th sky, In hindu dharma, there is this notion of that Vishnu is also the creator, and destroyer, and that Vishnu is the God, who has his seat on the thousand headed sepent. And muslim dharma believe in Allah having his seat in the 7th sky, and they worship Prophet Mohammed. Although in Guru Granth Sahib jee, we see words like Triloki, and fourteen worlds, this is only for the understanding that God is present everyehwere. Satguru jee has condemned all these notions that God is Vishnu, or sitting on the thousand headed serpent, and that God is only in the 7th Sky. Satguru jee has said, God is everpresent everywhere, with everyone, in all of time. Let us singlemindedly, absorb the meaning of Today's hukamnama. raag bilaaval mehlaa 5 dupday ghar 8 the word raag has two meanings. 1. The way to recite the shabad, as musical framework. 2. Love/Prem Sach kahon sun leho sabai jin prem kio tin hee prabh paio. In this Guru ji has not mentioned any hindu, muslim or any faith, This is a message to all. That God is only obtained through prem. Kathakaar is now talking about how throughout history, various sages have told their disciples, that it is not you who does, but it is God who does everything through you. In this we way we do not acquire any further "karma". As one sows, so shall one eat If everything is sowed for God, through God, then we won't have to eat the fruit of it. whether Good or bad fruit. It is God's, this way, we acquire no more good or bad karma, and are liberated. Whatever we do we have to offer to God. Kathakaar is now talking about a mahapurush Mansoor, who is asked three questions. 1. What is the limit of charity 2. What is the limit of love 3. What is the limit of renunciation Mansoor was sentenced to death, because he used to say "Anhal Haq" meaning "Iam God" "Iam God" same as "Aham Brahmasi" Mansoor said " first let me feed you something, before we start discussion." After the guest ate the food, Mansoor said, this is the limit of charity. Guest said, " I do not understand, how can this be the limit of charity?" Mansoor said, "Tommorrow, the hukamat(ruling authority), is going to hang me to death, and yesterday they gave me this last bit of food, I have not eaten this because my perishable body is going to die tommorrow, why should I waste this precious food on my perishable body, Im giving this to you, Its more useful to you, this is the limit of charity, I have nothing else with me." The Guest understood this and accepted this as the limit of charity. Mansoor said "Close your eyes and see something" Guest closed his eyes, as requested by mansoor, and he saw Mansoor was lying dead, he screamed, out of seeing this sight. When the guest fakir opened his eyes. Mansoor said, "People think thier body will live longer, in this hope of living four more days or so, they are attached to this hope. But Mansoor said, those who are devotees of God, they have left their attachment to the body, they have renounced it long back, This is the limit of renunciation" Mansoor said, "Tommorrow, do this for me, these people will hang me to death, be there at that place, and do not be late, and I will tell you the limit of love" Tommorrow, The Guest fakir was there witnessing the sight. Mansoor's both hands were cut and the blood that flowed out, he put it on his face, and all this time he said "Anhal Haq" Next his both feet were cut off as well. Mansoor told the guest fakir, O friend this is the limit of love, as a wife dresses for her husband wears red color, same way Im getting dressed for my beloved God with the red color of my blood on my face. I sacrifice my everything for God, this is the limit of Love. this is meaning(2) of raag, prem, love. Satguru Arjan Dev jee is doing kirpa on us, and blessing us with Today's hukamnama. Parmatma is Ik, do not divide parmatma through many faiths/relgions. Parmatma has many names but is Ik. worldly doors can close on us. The open "oorha" in IK Oankaar is signifying, that the door of Parmatma never closes, parmatma is there forever for us. Parmatma, These hands are yours, These eyes are yours, all is yours, everything is yours. Iam nothing, everything that is, is yours. Kathakaar is talking about Siropa, That some people used it as towel, and it is not meant to be used as a cloth, it is kirpa of Guru ji, and should be used only to cover the head, as a turban. Kabeer jee is saying our family, friends, relatives, They are all like birds on a tree, At night time (life) they all gather on the tree, During the day time(death time) they fly away, they never will meet again! Parmatma is the doer in both the living body, and when the body decays during death, it's Parmatma causing it decay. It is because of Parmatma's light in the body, that the body lives. After the soul lives, it is doesn't have any form, It is still Parmatma in it, That does all. The wonder of Parmatma cannot be described. The village is, till the dwellers are. When they dwell not, the village exists not. Parmatma is pervading everywhere, all powerful cause of causes, why dont you remember Parmatma? Who knows when Parmatma will take your life away? Parmatma, is the king, Parmatma is also the subject people, Parmatma is all. Only Parmatma exists. In summer time, we get kulfi, some are yellow, green, red, the child says, we want lal kulfi, pili kulfi. Just as there are assorted colors of kulfi for children, But they are all made from the same liquid, just different color. In the same way, someone is raja, someone is beggar, but all are one and the same, All is Parmatma. Guru Amar Das jee your glory belongs to you alone, How can I describe your virtues. Satguru ji is saying, Don't do corrupt works, Don't try to decievie, Parmatma is within you. Kathakaar is saying, sometimes we see, that people in their parties at home, they spend extra money, but when it comes to parmatma's langar, they decieve by spending less. Everything belongs to Parmatma, Parmatma is the giver, is the taker, is the doer of all. Vaahiguroo jee, you are in all, You see yourself in all, Without you noone is. I m not, you are, all pervading. Vaahiguroo jee, As is your hukam, As you do kirpa, so does this mortal realize. Vaahiguroo jee, you are apaar, without limits you are Meeting you, I have come to know this. As a drop merges in the ocean, no difference in them remains.

Satguru ji fulfills all wishes of his humble devotees. bilaaval mehlaa 5. Bilaaval is the raag of happiness. There are two meanings of Bilaaval, one outer meaning, and one hidden meaning. Kathakar, is now talking about a recent news article, degrading Dasam Granth Sahib ji, He is saying that those ppl whose minds, thinking is filthy, they will talk only filth, they do not see the gems, or the virtues of Dasam Granth Sahib jee. The ones who are seeking virtue, Those who are seeking , who are thinking truth, they will see truth in it. Regarding Interpreting Dasam Granth Sahib ji, The Kathakaar is giving an example of three people, who are hearing a black titar (Partridge) All three of them, decide to tell what the titar is actually saying, The first one, whose mind is involved in cooking at all times, says, kala titar is talking about salt and water. The second one, who used to do a lot of sports, says to the first one, you are wrong, it is actually saying, eat a lot of desi butter, get strong, do exercise. The third one, is saying, you both are wrong, because the kala titar is not going to eat to get strong, to do wrestling. Both of them agreed that its true.. Then they asked what do you think about what its saying? third one said, "sacrifice to your creation, O Lord" Now, as we see from the above, noone understands the true language of kala titar, but all of them are interpreting according to their own thinking. As they have thier mind, so do they think according to that. This is the case of so many ppl who try to interpret Dasam Granth Sahib ji. When there is no filthy thinking, then only can we see the true teaching. Kathakaar now giving another example, ਅਜੁ ਨ ਸੁਤੀ ਕੰਤ ਸਿਉ ਅੰਗੁ ਮੁੜੇ ਮੁੜਿ ਜਾਇ ॥ अजु न सुती कंत सिउ अंगु मुड़े मुड़ि जाइ ॥ aj na sutee kant si-o ang murhay murh jaa-ay. This night, I did not sleep with my Husband Lord, and now my body is suffering in pain. ਜਾਇ ਪੁਛਹੁ ਡੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਤੁਮ ਕਿਉ ਰੈਣਿ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥੩੦॥ जाइ पुछहु डोहागणी तुम किउ रैणि विहाइ ॥३०॥ jaa-ay puchhahu dohaaganee tum ki-o rain vihaa-ay. ||30|| Go and ask the deserted bride, how she passes her night. ||30|| Above you see the "word meanings" Kathakaar is saying that the above inner hidden meaning is not related to "bodily pain". Fareed ji is saying, this night I didn't remember, think of my Lord, and I feel the suffering of this longing to remember. What would be the condition of those people who never remember thier Lord? Kathakaar is saying, this is two different meanings. Raag Bilaaval, is a unique raag among raags. But the main purpose of Guru Granth Sahib ji's bani is to unite the soul with Parmatma. A parrot that is within the nest, has no fear of the cat. ਸੂਆ ਪਿੰਜਰਿ ਨਹੀ ਖਾਇ ਬਿਲਾਸੁ ॥ सूआ पिंजरि नही खाइ बिलासु ॥ soo-aa pinjar nahee khaa-ay bilaas. the cat cannot eat the parrot in its cage The inner meaning of this is, the soul which is under the protection of Parmatma, has no fear of messenger of death. This is what bilaaval raag is like, the words in it have inner hidden meanings. ਕਰੁ ਧਰਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਥਾਪਿਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਨੋ ਦਾਨਿ ॥ करु धरि मसतकि थापिआ नामु दीनो दानि ॥ kar Dhar mastak thaapi-aa naam deeno daan. Placing His Hand upon my forehead, God has given me the gift of His Name. Kathakaar is saying, we have never seen the five fingers of God, nor have we seen his hand, then how do we know the hand of God? mastak - forehead Jyotish vidya / Astrology says that the destiny of a person is written on his mastak. When a person goes and bows his head in front of the Satguru ji, then his destiny will be changed. Destiny will be changed, when the vichaar/Thoughts of that person will change. When the way of thinking of that person will change. When one contemplates Guru ji's bani, which changes the mind, the way of thinking. A person will do good deeds when one comes in the sanctuary of Satguru ji. kar Dhar mastak thaapi-aa naam deeno daan. naam is singular in above line. Only one naam there is. Why is it singular? In islam, they believe in three, Khuda Allah, Prophet Mohammed, and Satan. In hindu faith, they believe in brahma, vishnu, mahesh, Whenever a hindu remembers two names. like Jai Sita Raam, Jai Radha Krishna, Lakhsmi Narayan. If they worship Krishna, they first worship Radha. But in Sikhi, We only remember naam of the one Powerful God of all. Guru ji unites us with the Supreme Lord. Satguru ji didnt ask us to worship any other. Satguru ji and Parmatma are one. On whom, Parmatma has done kirpa, they are given the gift of naam. When we do devotion of Parmatma, without seeking anything in return. Parmatma will do kirpa. ਸਫਲ ਸੇਵਾ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕੀ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਨਹੀ ਹਾਨਿ ॥੧॥ सफल सेवा पारब्रहम की ता की नही हानि ॥१॥ safal sayvaa paarbarahm kee taa kee nahee haan. ||1|| One who performs fruitful service for the Supreme Lord God, never suffers any loss. ||1|| These day there are so many people who we do work for, companies, etc, so many people who think they are in authority. So many bosses etc. Satguru ji is saying, that the Lord of all, is Parmatma, do service for Parmatma, and never will you suffer any loss. Parmatma is the highest of the high. Kathakar is now talking about the facial hair women have, and thinking to be beautiful, they shave it. Kathakaar is saying if women are going to shave their facial hair, then it is a mistake of Parmatma, Parmatma must have been wrong to give that to women, We are proving Parmatma wrong, Saying this is not right, and shave the facial hair and do fashion. Parmatma is never wrong, we are always wrong. There is one traveller who got tired, and on the way, sat underneath the shade of a tree which had very tiny fruits, The traveller started thinking to himself, what did Parmatma do here, this tree has useless tiny fruits. While he was thinking this, one tiny fruit fell on his head. Then he thought to himself, Parmatma is right in making it small, if it would have been big, i would have got hurt, when it fell. If we ask fashion, or to be beautiful from parmatma, Then what have we achieved in that? We only get more engaged in corruption and sin. Will one think of reading Jap ji Sahib paath or be attached to maya corruption? Whatever parmatma has done, and is doing is always correct. Humbly accept and know that our own good is known only to Parmatma. Kathakaar is now saying, that some ppl worship gods and goddesses, but they wont get liberation from that. Satguru ji is saying, Rewarding is that service to Paarbrahm Parmatma, through which we are earn the true profit. ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਰਾਖਤਾ ਭਗਤਨ ਕੀ ਆਨਿ ॥ आपे ही प्रभु राखता भगतन की आनि ॥ aapay hee parabh raakh-taa bhagtan kee aan. God Himself saves the honor of His devotees. We say that Parmatma, make us meet those, by meeting those we remember you. Give us such company. bhagtan - is a plural word for devotee - devotees Those devotees live in the fear of Parmatma, they are protected, their honor is kept by Parmatma. ਜੋ ਜੋ ਚਿਤਵਹਿ ਸਾਧ ਜਨ ਸੋ ਲੇਤਾ ਮਾਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ जो जो चितवहि साध जन सो लेता मानि ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ jo jo chitvahi saaDh jan so laytaa maan. ||1|| rahaa-o. Whatever God's Holy servants wish for, He grants to them. ||1||Pause|| Kathakaar is talking about a patanjal Shastar, that there is one type of concentration exercise that they just focus their eyes on a blank screen of wall, their eyes get tired and tired. Kathakaar is saying that when they do this, they try achieve concentration of the mind, when the concentration of mind is acheived they are able to throw down birds flying in the sky. This is the only thing gained from that. Those who have come in the sanctuary, Those are pleasing to parmatma, Those who remember thier Lord, their every desire, wish is fulfilled. ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰੇ ਚਰਣਾਰਬਿੰਦ ਜਨ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ॥ सरणि परे चरणारबिंद जन प्रभ के प्रान ॥ saran paray charnaarbind jan parabh kay paraan. God's humble servants seek the Sanctuary of His Lotus Feet; they are God's very breath of life. Parmatma loves the devotees. Those devotees who have gotten the kirpa of Parmatma. Those devotees are so much loved by Parmatma, that Parmatma thinks them to be his own breath of life. ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਿਲੇ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮਾਨ ॥੨॥੨॥੬੬॥ सहजि सुभाइ नानक मिले जोती जोति समान ॥२॥२॥६६॥ sahj subhaa-ay naanak milay jotee jot samaan. ||2||2||66|| O Nanak, they automatically, intuitively meet God; their light merges into the Light. ||2||2||66|| Satguru ji is saying, while doing any work, or activity remember the Ik Parmatma, and you will easily sehaj merge with Parmatma. Kathakaar is giving sangraand Hukamnama, As it is 12 February, it is the begning of month of Phalgun, 1st Phalgun Monday BAARAH MAAHAA ~ THE TWELVE MONTHS: MAAJH, FIFTH MEHL, FOURTH HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: In the month of Phalgun, bliss comes to those, unto whom the Lord, the Friend, has been revealed. The Saints, the Lord’s helpers, in their mercy, have united me with Him. My bed is beautiful, and I have all comforts. I feel no sadness at all. My desires have been fulfilled-by great good fortune, I have obtained the Sovereign Lord as my Husband. Join with me, my sisters, and sing the songs of rejoicing and the Hymns of the Lord of the Universe. There is no other like the Lord-there is no equal to Him. He embellishes this world and the world hereafter, and He gives us our permanent home there. He rescues us from the world-ocean; never again do we have to run the cycle of reincarnation. I have only one tongue, but Your Glorious Virtues are beyond counting. Nanak is saved, falling at Your Feet. In Phalgun, praise Him continually; He has not even an iota of greed. || 13 || Those who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord-their affairs are all resolved. Those who meditate on the Perfect Guru, the Lord-Incarnate-they are judged true in the Court of the Lord. The Lord’s Feet are the Treasure of all peace and comfort for them; they cross over the terrifying and treacherous world-ocean. They obtain love and devotion, and they do not burn in corruption. Falsehood has vanished, duality has been erased, and they are totally overflowing with Truth. They serve the Supreme Lord God, and enshrine the One Lord within their minds. The months, the days, and the moments are auspicious, for those upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. Nanak begs for the blessing of Your Vision, O Lord. Please, shower Your Mercy upon me! || 14 || 1 || 1st, Phalgun Monday, 12 February, 2007 (Ang: 136) Sorry for the late reply, Today's hukamnama katha of Tuesday will be posted soon.

If we look at our bhartiya(Indian) way of attaining God, there are two main ways ie 1. Hatha yoga 2. Sehaj yoga Patanjali Rishi(saint seer) has more emphasized on Hatha yoga, which include practices like controlling breath, pranayama, keeping fasts. The way of Guru Nanak Sahib jee, and the way of devotional bhagats of 15th century, then we will see that they have stressed on Sehaj yoga. Baba Trilochan jee asked Baba Namdev ji, Mahapurshu, on one side you are aiming to acheive God, but on the other side, you are weaving clothes, weaving comforters, sewing them etc. How will you find God like this, Namdev ji? Namdev ji humbly replied to Trilochan ji, The relation with God is through my mind, with the body I do my work, but with the mind I focus my consciousness on God. My body has needs, my family has needs, I can fulfill those needs through the use of my body, While I focus my mind on God. - In that which, God is remembered in the morning, evening, night is called sehaj yoga. Satguru Patshaah Maharaj has stressed on Sehaj yoga. Gurdev ji is saying, only remember the one. Todays hukamnama is in Raag Dhanaasaree, By Guru Nanak Sahib ji. Sehaj has three meanings. 1. Shanti, peace 2. Gian, Knowledge 3. adolta, Unwavering, fixed Guru ji is saying, those whose minds have become sehaj(adol) on God, accepted is this union with God. How do we become adol? We often read bio, histories of sant mahapurush's, so that we can give some lesson to our own lives. The life of Baba Buddha Shah, is very inspirational for us. Baba Buddha Shah, when he was young, was grazing sheep and was doing rememberance of Allah, while Guru Nanak Sahib jee noticed him. Baba Buddha Shah, through kirpa, was blessed with opportunty to meet Guru Nanak Sahib jee, and Baba Buddha Shah thought to himself, that he should do some seva of Guru Nanak Sahib jee. He brought milk for Guru ji. Guru ji said, Baba Buddha Shah, we will take your milk when we come in our sixth form (of Guru Hargobind Sahib). Baba Buddha Shah, thought to himself, if Guru ji has promised to come and take the seva of his offering of milk, then Guru ji will eventually meet me in the sixth form. The mind of Baba Buddha Shah, became Sehaj(Adol/Unwavering) on this truth. This is a promise of such a long time, The mind of Baba Buddha Shah is adol on the fact that eventually Guru ji will accept his seva of milk. History says, that Guru Hargobind Sahib jee, accepted the offering of milk from that Guru Pyara Baba Buddha Shah, and made his life purpose fullfilled. So in this same way, In Today's Hukamnama, Satguru Nanak Sahib ji is saying, Those whose minds have become adol, those whose minds have no doubts in them are counted as those who meet God, those who have not made their mind yet, those who are not adol in thier purpose of fullfilling this, they are not in the counting yet. Those whose minds have become adol, they do not come and go in birth and death. What is the reason for that? Because when the mind is sehj/adol. Then the mind does desire anything else, only when the mind desires more and more, does it come again and again to fullfil its wishes. Kathakaar is now talking about Jyotshi Granth, that he possesses. He is saying, he has read several things in it. He said the essence of it is that, due to "sanskaar" (unfulfilled give and take/karma/desires), humans take birth again and again. These Sanskaars are erased when one comes in the sanctuary of Satguru ji. Those ones whose mind is Sehj/adol in God, they do not come and go in reincarnation, birth and death. thaakur meh daas daas meh so-ay. slave is in the Lord and Lord is in his slave is like the gurbani pankti of Saagar may boond, boond may saagar drop is in the ocean, ocean is in the drop Saints, are the beloveds of God. If there was no God, then Saints would not have preached about God. Within true beloved saints, God is present, Within God, the true beloved saints are present. Whereever I see, there I see God. If there are doubts that Parmatma is not present. The reason is that Satguru ji's sanctuary is not sought. As long as the mind is not fixed on IK, until then the mind will not become sehj/adol Satguru ji has given me one understanding: There is only one(IK) giver of all, may I never forget the one(IK) guraa ik dayhi bujhaa-ee. sabhnaa jee-aa kaa ik daataa so mai visar na jaa-ee. ||5|| Come in the house of Satguru ji, That house is the mat/wisdom of Guru ji. Kathakaar is giving example of the company of bad company/sangat In history, it is said that one mulla, was a good friend of Guru Nanak Sahib jee, and he was separated for six months, later Guru Nanak Sahib jee went by that route where the mulla lived, but by this time, mulla was in a bad company, and had changed, he didnt have desire to meet Guru ji, Mardana called out for mulla, but his wife came out and said(as mulla asked her to say), that he was not in the house. Guru Nanak Sahib ji, said, if mulla is not there, then lets go Mardana, as soon as Guru ji said this words, a snake came out near Mulla, and bit him. This is because, the spoken words of Satguru become true, whatever the Satguru says becomes true. If Satguru is leaving, it is because mulla is not there. Hence, mulla had to be not there. True Guru is that, who merges us in the truth. Vaahiguroo is the eternal name of truth, power. Those who are saints of God, they have only one work, of Rememberance of God. They have no other work to do. Just as a gambler never leaves his gamble, Just as an alcoholic never leaves his addiction. They dont leave their works. Just as a prostitute likes corruption. For Parmatma, Purity is what is pleasing. In the mind of saints is Parmatma, those alone are pure, who are one with Parmatma. Those who are beloved of Parmatma, they are accepted in the court of Parmatma. Between Satguru ji and Parmatma, there is no difference. Those who have met Satguru ji, they have met Parmatma. Satguru ji, is saying, by being stubborn; Parmatma is not obtained. Nor through any rituals. Nor through any dress or garb. Parmatma has created these bodies, within these bowls of bodies, is the name of Parmatma. As long as we dont have love for naam, The name of Parmatma does not well up from the bowl. Those who think they are very wise, Those who think themselves very intelligent, very knowledgable, are lost in debates and arguments, forgetting Parmatma. Sahas Sianpa lakh hoia, Ta ik na chalay naal. Just as eating healthy food, we have strong bodies. We have to eat the food of rememberance of Parmatma's name. When we have devotedly served Parmatma, we are united with Parmatma. Some are doing pilgrimages, some are renunciates in forests. They do various things, but thier minds is wavering. Its not fixed(sehj/adol). Without pleasing Him, what good are ritual cleansings? tirath naavaa jay tis bhaavaa vin bhaanay ke naa-ay karee. We have cleaned our bodies through soap and water, but how do we clean our dirt of the filthy mind? How to make it pure Those Gurmukh pyaray, who have absorbed the true wisdom of Satguru ji, they have obtained honor and glory In this way, O Gurmukh, understand that Parmatma is within you, understand that Parmatma is very subtle, you will need to devote single mindedly, abondaning everything else to see this. When you see this, your mind will become sehj(adol), That parmatma is existing Parmatma, makes successful millions of people in one instant. Gurdev, kirpa karo, parmatma milao. Gurdev do kirpa on us, so we meet Parmatma. Vaahiguroo, make us understand your hukam, make us obedient to you. Gurdev Nanak Sahib is saying, Gurmukha, continously devote yourself to the praises of parmatma, remember parmatma single mindedly, then your mind will accept hukam of Parmatma with love. Satguru ji, Bhula chuka de maafi. Vaahiguroo Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaahiguroo Jee ki Fateh Hukamnama of 10/02/2007 Saturday

That Gursikh who for even one instant, remembers his Guru, then Bhai Gurdas ji is saying, Satguru ji remembers his sikh again and again. In History there is a conversation between Satguru Gobind Singh ji and Bhai Daya Singh ji, Satguru ji was seeming to be engaged in counting. Then Bhai Daya Singh ji, said Satguru ji, you have taken us out of all worries, Satguru ji, what are you engaged in counting?. Satguru ji said, Bhai Daya Singh, You misunderstood, Im thinking of those Gurmukhs who remember me, and counting those, taking those out who don't remember me. Those that will think of Wealth at the time of death, are reborn as snake - of family at the time of death, are reborn as a pig - thinking in kaam, that person will be reborn as a prostitute. - thinking of mansions will be born as wandering ghost/pret that person who remembers Lord, will be liberated, will obtain God. But don't leave this to the time of death, if we remember God now, then at the time of death we will remember God. If we are entangled in worldy affairs now, then we will remember worldy affairs also at the time of death. Maharaja of Patiala, Raja Bhupinder Singh asked Sant Attar Singh ji (Mastuane Wale), Sant ji, Why have you kept so many singhs along with you? It seems they are spoiled, their way of talking to you makes me think that their is no difference between them and my soldiers. Sant ji, said, I have kept them in the hope that they will change and help to spread the true message to all. But There is a world of difference between your soldiers and my singhs. Raja said, Sant ji, how is the difference? Sant ji, said, OK tonight we will show you. Then at the middle of the night, Sant ji and Raja, went with a bucket of cold water, towards the singhs of Sant Attar Singh ji and sprinkled drops of cold water on them. Immediately those singhs thought it is amrit vela we should get up and do simran of God. Sant ji, said to them, Singho, go back to sleep, its not amritvela yet, we were just passing through here. Then, Sant Ji and Raja, went towards the Soldiers of the Raja, and sprinked drops of cold water on them, Immediately Soldiers said, we have been attacked by enemies, get ready get prepared. Then the Raja said, no go back to sleep. We were just passing by here. Sant ji said to Raja, Did you understand the difference? Raja said, No Sant ji, I didnt understand. Sant ji, said , See my singhs, even in their sleep they are thinking of amrit vela, and thinking of God, their thoughts are towards God, and when the drop of water was sprinkled on them, then they thought its amrit vela. But your soldiers their thoughts and focus is towards war, when water is sprinkled on them, they are thinking of their enemies. This is the difference. In the same way, we should not wait till our last ending moment to think of God. We have to devote ourselves now, to remember God in our last moments. In Todays Hukamnama, Guru ji is telling us, that by remembering God, all your troubles will vanish. Parmatma, will do kirpa on you. Let us single mindedly listen and obey Guru's word. Sometimes we remember our children, sometimes maya, sometimes wife, sometimes relations etc. Gurmukh, remember Parmatma, and your happiness, comforts will be with you at all times. When we goto Hazoor Sahib, there is also a nearby Gurudwara. There is a story of some devotees, who used to read gurbani, but couldnt memorize it. They were locked up in a fort, and could not get out. After reading the lines in Sukhmani Sahib. Satguru sikh kay bandhan katai They thought, that Satguru ji cuts the bonds of his sikh, we should remember him them, as they were unable to learn the whole bani by heart, they just recited the line Satguru sikh kay bandhan katai Satguru Sikh kay bandhan katai Satguru Sikh kay bandhan katai over and over again they recited it. At that time, Guru Gobind Singh ji had left his bodily form, and Guru Granth Sahib ji were presiding on Gur Gaddi. The devotees, knew it, and they again and again recited the lines. Satguru Sikh kai bandhan katai Satguru Sikh kai bandhan katai Like this, Guru Gobind Singh ji, gave them darshan, and said , Gurmukh pyaro, You have been remembering me, I have come and you have closed eyes, open your eyes. Guru ji, cut their bonds, when they said Dhan Guru Nanak , Vaahigurooo Those who remember Satguru, they are forever in bliss, forever happy. Pains, sorrows do not come near them There are 4 types of dukh(sorrow) 1. separation from loved ones 2. hunger of food 3. fear of death, fear of jamdoot/ of messenger of death. 4. bodily pains There are 5 types of kalays (worries? anxiety?) 1. Ignorance / Unknowing 2. Ego Pride, That Iam something, That Iam great, worrying that noone should be greater then me etc 3. Unequality, like castes, division among peoples. All are not equal. 4. Moh/Attachment 2. Jealous/hatred When you do simran parmatma, then you will see parmatma in all, then all these dukh kalays will not come near you. Your mind will stay in bliss. Many times, we sing praises of Lord, but we think of Parmatma "as someone else". But Kathakaar, is saying, don't do simran like that. When you do simran of Parmatma, think of Parmatma "as your own". Dukalan Prnaase Diayalan Saroope Destroyer of sorrows pains, embodiment of mercy Sada ang sangay ,abhangan bibhootay Ever present by our side, indestructible eternal illumined glory Your name is the support of all, it gives sustenance to all. We come to understand this through the updesh of Pooran Satguru ji only. Remember Lord at all times, you will cross over the worldy ocean. O Lord, You are yourself the listener and yourself the advisor, you yourself are the doer, you yourself are the enjoyer in all, You yourself are the giver. What can the poor creatures do?? They are mere puppets, like trumpetts, as you blow them, so do they make noise. how can they praise your glories O Lord, you are merciful on all, Some do nitnem you do kirpa on them, some do aarti, you do kirpa on them, some read namaz, some pray to you, you do mercy on all, You do not belong to any religion or sect. You are merciful to all, your worth cannot be estimated. Your creatures should think of you, as ever present. Your creation is wondrous, Iam in awe at the miracle of your creation. I humbly pray to you, I do not consider any lesser gods, as my diety, I Only consider you as my Lord Master. On whom you have done mercy, they have become wise. As this breath continues to come and go, I am forever a sacrifice to you. Satguru ji, that place where you have placed your foot, the dust of that place has become pure. Kathakaar is giving example of sacred places like Anandpur Sahib, Nanaksar , those places where Satguru ji have been. This was todays hukamnama, let us absorb the message and remember Satguru ji every instant. Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ki fateh. hukamnama of 09/02/2007 Friday forgive any mistakes
  24. ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਭਗਤ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਜੀ ਕੀ धनासरी भगत रविदास जी की Dhanaasree bhagat ravidaas jee kee Dhanaasaree, Devotee Ravi Daas Jee: ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥ ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad. One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: ਹਮ ਸਰਿ ਦੀਨੁ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਨ ਤੁਮ ਸਰਿ ਅਬ ਪਤੀਆਰੁ ਕਿਆ ਕੀਜੈ ॥ हम सरि दीनु दइआलु न तुम सरि अब पतीआरु किआ कीजै ॥ ham sar deen da-i-aal na tum sar ab patee-aar ki-aa keejai. There is none as forlorn as I am, and none as Compassionate as You; what need is there to test us now? ਬਚਨੀ ਤੋਰ ਮੋਰ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨੈ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਪੂਰਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥੧॥ बचनी तोर मोर मनु मानै जन कउ पूरनु दीजै ॥१॥ bachnee tor mor man maanai jan ka-o pooran deejai. ||1|| May my mind surrender to Your Word; please, bless Your humble servant with this perfection. ||1|| ਹਉ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਉ ਰਮਈਆ ਕਾਰਨੇ ॥ हउ बलि बलि जाउ रमईआ कारने ॥ ha-o bal bal jaa-o rama-ee-aa kaarnay. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Lord. ਕਾਰਨ ਕਵਨ ਅਬੋਲ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ कारन कवन अबोल ॥ रहाउ ॥ kaaran kavan abol. rahaa-o. O Lord, why are You silent? ||Pause|| ਬਹੁਤ ਜਨਮ ਬਿਛੁਰੇ ਥੇ ਮਾਧਉ ਇਹੁ ਜਨਮੁ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ਲੇਖੇ ॥ बहुत जनम बिछुरे थे माधउ इहु जनमु तुम्हारे लेखे ॥ bahut janam bichhuray thay maaDha-o ih janam tumHaaray laykhay. For so many incarnations, I have been separated from You, Lord; I dedicate this life to You. ਕਹਿ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਆਸ ਲਗਿ ਜੀਵਉ ਚਿਰ ਭਇਓ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖੇ ॥੨॥੧॥ कहि रविदास आस लगि जीवउ चिर भइओ दरसनु देखे ॥२॥१॥ kahi ravidaas aas lag jeeva-o chir bha-i-o darsan daykhay. ||2||1|| Says Ravi Daas: placing my hopes in You, I live; it is so long since I have gazed upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||2||1|| Worshipped by all, King of all , Ocean of Mercy, Satguru ji has done great mercy on us, and given us hukamnama, during the ambrosial hours of morning. In Today's shabad, Ravidas bhagat ji, In rahaa-o pankti is saying, ha-o bal bal jaa-o rama-ee-aa kaarnay. kaaran kavan abol. rahaa-o. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Lord. O Lord, why are You silent? ||Pause|| We can be a sacrifice to only those, who we love so much. Satguru Gobind Singh ji has given us everything, who sacrificed his whole family for us. God is taking care of us in every way, Ravidas is saying "Iam a sacrifice to you, my Omnipresent Lord" We worldy people, even if we are rulers and kings, but in front of Lord, we are beggars. The breath we are taking every moment, this is from God. We are given a limited number of breaths, and any amount of money cannot give a person more breaths. God, has given us water, without which life is not possible. Through water all life originated. We should not pride ourselves of our achievements , like if there are airplanes today. All this is possible through mercy of God. If God didnt give us metals and resources, from where could we make all this. God gave us vegetation, our food, without which we die. God is the protector of his devotees. Bhagat vachal. God you even take care of those, who even forget all that you have done for them. You are most merciful. You are the inner knower, knower of all hearts. When I think, of you as the inner knower, I feel ashamed of my sinful life, that I have not remembered your name. But when I see that you have even carried across sinful beings, through your mercy. Im a sacrifice to you, O Parmatma. Im like the simmal tree, and you O God are like the sandalwood tree, when you are near me, simmal tree absorbs the qualities of the sandalwood tree. There is noone as sinful as me, noone as compassionate as you. When a queen, made Ravidas ji sit on a elephant, with a canopy on his head. Ravidas ji is thinking, O Parmatma, a sinful person like me, a low caste chamar like me, who can give this greatness other then you , O Lord? We are always beggars in front of you, O Lord. There is noone as merciful and kind as you, and no sinner as me. Like as much water is in the ocean, so much sins are in me, Do your mercy on me Lord, you even carry stones across the ocean. Let us absorb todays hukamnama with single minded devotion. Satnaam Sri Vaahiguroo ji. In Raag Dhaansare, Bhagat Ravidas from beneras, a devotee of God, who worked as a leather worker. Bhagat Ravidas ji, is saying you do so much mercy on us. Day and night you have given us comfortable places to live, you have given us air to breathe, you have given us sunlight, warmth. You have given us food to eat. You have given us everything, There is noone as sinful as me, and noone as merciful as you. My mind has settled on your words, If you say, be content, do seva, do simran, my mind now agrees to this. Please do mercy on me, that I earn my living as per your words. Give me this perfection. O Parmatma, Im forever, again and again a sacrifice to you. You are beautiful O Lord, You are wondrous. For what reason, O Lord you are not talking to me? Rahaa-o Pause Parmatma, for so many births, so many births, I have been wandering, I have been separated from you, but now O Lord, my mind has agreed on your words, I will walk on the path shown by your words. I will dedicate this life to you, O lord. Parmatma, for so long, I have been waiting for your darshan, Now do kirpa Maharaj ji, give me your darshan/sight. Kathakaar is now saying, that with these eyes, darshan cannot be had, as long as one does not contemplate gurbani, that person will not have darshan. Hill rajas, fought wars with Satguru ji, but did they really have darshan of Satguru ji? Their hearts were stone-hearted. Those who made Guru Arjan Dev ji, sit in the boiling pot, they saw Guru Arjan dev ji. But did they really have darshan of Satguru ji? Those who have moulded their lives according to Gurbani, they will have darshan of Satguru ji. Those, who all have done contemplation of Gurbani, their lives have changed. Kathakaar is now saying about the pauri's of Suni-ai, listening, contemplating Gurbani, in Jap ji Sahib. suni-ai siDh peer sur naath. ( Through suni-ai, you will become sidh, peer, sur, naath.) suni-ai Dharat Dhaval aakaas. ( through suni-ai, you will know of the support of Dharat, Dhaval, Aakaas.) suni-ai deep lo-a paataal. ( You will know what's happening in the lower worlds, underworlds, all worlds, all through suni-ai) That student who doesnt study the lesson given by the master, that student will not be successful, only that student will be successful who studies the lesson given by the master. So Kathakaar is saying, you have to contemplate the shabad to be successful. There is a hindu festival, known as ardh kumbh going on. Believing by washing in ganga water, one will obtain liberation. If this was so, then ants, insects, in that water would have been liberated. Nothing will happen of it. Without the Lord's name, Liberation is not obtained. Sit in sat sangat, and wash your mind listening to gurbani. Meditate on Lord's name, wash your mind, then do charity/daan, teach others this. Jo Kich hai so tera Whatever there is, is yours. When we wash our mind like this, we will free ourselves of the five thieves of kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahaankaar. Only the truthful are honored in this world. Do charity for truth. Only that being on whom, Satguru ji gives his updesh is wise, is honored. Those who have obtained God, Im a sacrifice to them. This meeting can happen in the sat sangat in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. In those whose minds, abide Satguru ji, they alone are pure.

If we think of the worldy religions, then in total there are about 350. Where there would have been universal appeal for them, but they are narrow within themselves. For example, the world of islam, think that Allah only understands and recognises Arabic language. Hindu Brothers think that in the house of parmatma, think only language of the shesh nag(thousand headed snake) is spoken only, Sehaskritee/ Sanskrit is only the language there. Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee, did not confine dharam/religion inside any boundaries. Like a well, or a stream, river; its purpose is to quench thirst of the people; Same way the purpose of religion is give peace to people. For this reason, Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee went to different pilgrimage centres, went to mecca, went to hindu sacred places, and spread the True Teachings. Satguru Maharaj ji went and met one islamic priest, and that priest recognised him as Satguru of all, and asked several questions to make his life successful. And Today's Hukamnama, is related to this, that Satguru Nanak Sahib jee went to different places and removed thier doubts. When various people from various places came to Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib jee, then Guru ji, removed their doubts by teaching them the truth by giving examples of their own regions/cultures. For example, one musalman, asked Guru Nanak Sahib jee several questions. The very first question he asked was. 1. What is the real name of God? When we read in the various scriptures we see several ways that "name" has been defined. One is a relational name (for example, sita raam,from ramayana), one is of the caste name,( for example raghu vir raam, raghu is a caste dynasty). But our Gurus did not follow this system, and gave us the name "Vaahiguroo". Vidvaans, have done 3 meanings of the word Vaahiguroo. Vahiguroo - One who gives inspiration, One who is wondrous form achraj saroop, and Bismaad roop form In Today's hukamnama, Gurdev used the very first line, which is resembling the achraj saroop. According to Snatan Dharma, Brahma is considered the creator, vishnu the nourisher.. In Hindu Purana's , there is a story that Brahma was born from the navel of Vishnu, Then the doubter is thinking, if Brahma is born from the navel of Vishnu, then from where is Vishnu born? Guru Nanak Sahib jee has said that there is only one God and there are millions of Brahma's and vishnu's. In Jaap Sahib, we read daily, it's sacred words, Akrita Krit hain. Meaning, Parmatma is not created. O Parmatma, you are wondrous, my mind is in love with you, seeing your beautiful creation. deen dunee-aa ayk toohee sabh khalak hee tay paak. rahaa-o. deen - heavens, beyond this world. dunee-aa - this world Khalak - people, world Different languages have different meanings of the same word, in this line. In arabic / Paak - pavittr, pure In sanskrit / Paak - Kitchen, rasoi In punjabi /paak - flthy bad blood We have to know what Gurdev is saying, and use that appropriate meaning for paak. Parmatma, you the Lord of this world and the worlds beyond, remaining among the (filth)people of this world, You are pure, pavittr. For example, a lamp's work is do give light, it can be used by a priest in a temple, or by prostitute in her home, the priest does good work with it, whereas the prostitute does filth, using the light of the lamp. But the lamp is neither pure nor good. For example, the duty of sun is to give light, it falls equally on the muddy pool of water, it falls equally on a Gurudwara, Its purpose is to give light. Such is parmatma forever pure among the filth of this world. Guru Amar Das ji, when he was young in his earlier age, before becoming Guru, one time while he was sitting, a hindu astrologer by chance noticed padam rakha, the fortune line on Guru ji's foot, and bowed to Guru ji, and said, Baba ji, you will one day have the canopy over your head. You will be the Lord of the three worlds. Guru Amar Das ji, said this is good thing, that you have told, tell me what gift you want? the Astrologer said, Not right now Baba ji, When the time comes I will ask you. Later, when Guru Amar Das ji, became the Guru and established the city of Goindwal, and had a great following, lot of people came and the news spread to that astrologer. The astrologer came to the court of Guru ji, he couldnt control his laughter also, because his prediction turned true, Guru ji also recognised him. Guru ji asked, Pandit ji you have come, ask for your gift. But Guru ji said, be thoughful of what you ask for, if you want worldy gifts, or gifts for beyond this worlds. Astrologer, said Guru ji, I do not want to beg from people's door to door for worldy things, Guru ji do mercy on me, give me both the gifts of this world and the next, the world beyond. Guru ji did mercy, and fulfilled the wish of that pandit. Same way, in this line of Today's hukanama, Guru ji is saying, that the one Parmatma controls all matters not only in this world, but also in the next world, the world beyond. The one Parmatma is present in both this world and worlds beyond this world, present among the world,people of this world, you are pure. khin maahi thaap uthaapadaa aacharaj tayray roop. As you wish, You destroy and create in an instant. You are wondrous O Parmatma. In an instant, you convert a king to a beggar and a beggar to a king. In an instant, you convert a desert to rainforests. O Lord, your works are wondrous. They are awe-inspiring. You have infinite forms, from one drop of water, a creature is born, you created eyes for them to see, ears to hear. wondrous is your works. Who can desrcibe your wondrous acts? In this world, all around is darkness, O Parmatma, you are the light in it. You are the owner; Lord of all creation. You never get angry on us, even though we are involved in filth, you are forever merciful on us. Just like a mother who is merciful to his child, even though the child can be bad. But the mother is always forever merciful. Bhai Sham Singh ji is saying, that the tree of peepal, or anyother tree provides shade from the sun, But the shade of mother is even deeper. Those who remember you, Lord, they do not go to hell, those who remember you with the rising sun, and the setting sun, they do not goto hell. In quran, muslim dharma, there are four angels, one of them azraael which takes the soul out of the body, at the time of death. Satguru ji is saying, you would not be afraid of Azraael, the angel/messenger of death. He will become your friend, if you remember God's name. He will become your servant, if you remember , if you take the support of the Lord. Kathakar is now saying that we should not add extra, our own words in the ardaas. Like Teg Bahadar Simriye Ghar Nau Nidh Awai Dhaai Sabh Thaaeen Hoi Sahai Some ppl they add Guru Teg Bahadar Simriye, or hind ki chaddr, Teg Bahadar Simriye.. We should not modify the words of Guru Gobind Singh in the ardaas. As Guru ji has written. We should read it. All sins are destroyed by having your blessed sight. This world is only temporary place. True place, True home is your name. True peace will come from your Name. Only praise the one Lord. O Parmatma, unite me with the true congregation which have not forgotten you, remove my pride, make me the servant of your servants, who have not forgotten you. Bless me so that I can sing your praises before sunrise. Bless me with the sight of those beings who have not forgotten you. So that I may forever sing your praises with every breath. May I forever earn the bliss of your name. Parmatma, you are forever with me, you never leave me. You are the treasure of peace. I have expereinced all sort of joys, but O Parmatma, the joy that is in meeting you, that joy is not found in any other thing. That person is fortunate who remembers you. Those souls are married to their Lord, in their hearts is eternal peace bliss. forgive any mistakes, hukamnama translation of Wednesday 07/02/2007 Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ke fateh
