cybersingh Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh ........ One day Bhai Mardana expressed intense hunger. Guru Nanak Dev ji directed him to go eat some fruits of Reetha tree (soap-nut). Guruji told him not to bring back any more with him though. Mardana was reluctant knowing that reetha bears bitter fruit. Guruji's words reinforced the faith at this moment. He went and ate few reethas to taste and found them to be indeed sweet. He ate to his fullest desire, and on way back carried a bundle of them with him. He forgot Guruji's words of caution-not to carry any with him!! He kept the fruit for consumption for later use. Forgeting Guruji's words he bacame insecure about his hunger. That fear gave rise to hunger again. Mardana ate the Reetha fruit he had saved for this time. It tasted very bitter! and Mardana felt nauceating feeling. Guruji looked at visibly sick Mardana and inquired what happened? "Satguruji, mein aapji de bachan bhull gyaa si", was the reply. Guruji cautions us to beware of greed through Bhai Mardana ji. There is no difference between Bhai Mardanaji and Guruji. They are inseparable. It was all Kautakk of Satguruji for our well being. Indeed we do not remain well when we forget Guruji's words. Tu kahey dolleh praniaa, tudh rakheygaa sirjanhaar!! Jinh paidayish tu keeaaa, so-eee deh adhaar!!... Parmeshar te bhullyiaan viappann sabhay rog| Be-mukh hoyey Raam te laggann janam viyog!! Root cause of all disease is forgetting Waheguruji. Turning our back towards Waheguruji causes separation of innumerable lives! Yes, there develops a gap of innumerable lives/joonies if we forget our Maker/ Sri Waheguruji, Who's powers are all powers. Harn Bharn ja ka nettar phorr. Who can create and delete His creation in less than flick of an eye lid. Guru ji gives us Dharwassa and Bharwassaa to be in unshakeable state of existence. Adoll!! Tristuss Deha!!! Never to be shaken. The firmness of Sumer Parbatt, the Ahill State of Himalyaa. Kandrup kot ja kay lawei na dharay!! Anttar anttir mansa harray!! Keh Kabir sunn sarangpaan! Deh abhay padd mangauh daaan!! approximate meaning: (Infinite amount of love cannot be compared with Love of Waheguru. Sri Waheguruji's chittar-bachittar powers consume the hearts of the sharnagatt-jan Gurmukh. Kabir ji says listen to the Naam of Dhanukh-dhari (all powerful) Waheguruji because that alone shall bestow upon us the fearless status-Adoll Awastha!) Bhullan Andar sabh ko, abhull Guru Kartaar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
