Nimrata/ Humilty

[Matheen]

This is what you call nimrata, and an example for us that seems to have been forgotten by many Sikhs, including myself:

Just think, this is Guru Ji themselves speaking, the king of kings, pooran saroop of Akaal Puraakh!

ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

बिलावलु महला ५ ॥

Bilāval mėhlā 5.

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

ਐਸੀ ਦੀਖਿਆ ਜਨ ਸਿਉ ਮੰਗਾ ॥

ऐसी दीखिआ जन सिउ मंगा ॥

Aisī ḏīkẖi▫ā jan si▫o mangā.

I ask for such advice from Your humble servants,

ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਰੋ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੋ ਰੰਗਾ ॥

तुम्हरो धिआनु तुम्हारो रंगा ॥

Ŧumĥro ḏẖi▫ān ṯumĥāro rangā.

that I may meditate on You, and love You,

ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਰੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ਅੰਗਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

तुम्हरी सेवा तुम्हारे अंगा ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

Ŧumĥrī sevā ṯumĥāre angā. ||1|| rahā▫o.

and serve You, and become part and parcel of Your Being. ||1||Pause||

ਜਨ ਕੀ ਟਹਲ ਸੰਭਾਖਨੁ ਜਨ ਸਿਉ ਊਠਨੁ ਬੈਠਨੁ ਜਨ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਾ ॥

जन की टहल स्मभाखनु जन सिउ ऊठनु बैठनु जन कै संगा ॥

Jan kī tahal sambẖākẖan jan si▫o ūṯẖan baiṯẖan jan kai sangā.

I serve His humble servants, and speak with them, and abide with them.

ਜਨ ਚਰ ਰਜ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਾਥੈ ਲਾਗੀ ਆਸਾ ਪੂਰਨ ਅਨੰਤ ਤਰੰਗਾ ॥੧॥

जन चर रज मुखि माथै लागी आसा पूरन अनंत तरंगा ॥१॥

Jan cẖar raj mukẖ māthai lāgī āsā pūran ananṯ ṯarangā. ||1||

I apply the dust of the feet of His humble servants to my face and forehead; my hopes, and the many waves of desire, are fulfilled. ||1||

ਜਨ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਜਨ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਤੀਰਥ ਕੋਟਿ ਗੰਗਾ ॥

जन पारब्रहम जा की निरमल महिमा जन के चरन तीरथ कोटि गंगा ॥

Jan pārbarahm jā kī nirmal mahimā jan ke cẖaran ṯirath kot gangā.

Immaculate and pure are the praises of the humble servants of the Supreme Lord God; the feet of His humble servants are equal to millions of sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

ਜਨ ਕੀ ਧੂਰਿ ਕੀਓ ਮਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਹਰੇ ਕਲੰਗਾ ॥੨॥੪॥੧੨੦॥

जन की धूरि कीओ मजनु नानक जनम जनम के हरे कलंगा ॥२॥४॥१२०॥

Jan kī ḏẖūr kī▫o majan Nānak janam janam ke hare kalangā. ||2||4||120||

Nanak bathes in the dust of the feet of His humble servants; the sinful resides of countless incarnations have been washed away. ||2||4||120||

Beautiful - the effect the sangat of Saadhs (real) has on us cannot be spoken about, its futile to try and understand one who does.

It is only something which can be experienced - we should offer an heartfelt ardaas for Saadh Sangat everyday - Satguru will always respond with daya.

Bhagat ji recommends listening to Gareebi nitnem tracks 24/7 on ipod as this is a very very easy way to make progress and to eliminate worry from our minds. The tracks can be downloaded from here http://gursevak.com/greebi.html under the titles gareebi nitnem 1, 2 etc.
