Understanding Gurbani

from TRUTH.......> (...back to Lord TRUTH, the Creator..)

TRUTH EXISTED BEFORE BEGINNING of universe.

TRUTH EXISTED AFTER BEGINNING also.

TRUTH EXISTS here and now.

TRUTH WILL EXIST here after beyond eternity.

SIKHS PRACTICE TRUTH & CRAFT TRUE IDEAs.

Step 1: RESOLVE to FOLLOW COMMANDMENTS OF Lord TRUTH

RITUALISTIC BATHING will not cleanse one's conscious, even if one bathes a million times. Mind need to be bathed to begin with

PENNACE OF STAYING SILENT will not silence the inner self , even if one remains absobed endlessly deep within.

LOADS OF ENDLESS FASTS & PILGRIMAGES at holiest of the holy shrines can't rid one of hunger.

THOUSANDS OF LACS OF CLEVER TRICKS consolidated through life, but not even one will go along.

# HOW CAN WE BE TRUTHFULL?
 
# HOW WILL THE FOG OF FALSEHOOD BE CLEARED?

 (No way through gimmicks & monkey tricks)


# ONLY BY STAYING IN HARMONY WITH

  COMMANDMENTS of 'TRUTH'. 

  This is TRUTH ETERNAL.

Step 2: UNDERSTAND TRUTH’S COMMANMENTS

EVERY THING IN THE UNIVERSE COMES INTO BEING THROUGH THY COMMANDMENTS, the MAGNANIMITY OF THY COMMANDMENTS CANNOT BE DESCRIBED in WORDS.

THROUGH THY COMMANDMENTS :-

............. Comes into being, all living beings.

..............ONE EARNS RESPECT.

..............COME INTO BEING, higher/lower social status.

BY WRITING thy COMMANDMENTS,PAIN/PLEASUE BOTH ARE ACCURED.

(Those who craft, write, speak, sing & propogate 'TRUE IDEAs' have to go through the agony of tortue & pain by falsehood. on the other hand they always stay in ultimate bliss & in company of TRUTH)

THROUGH thy COMMANDMENTS :-

..............SOME are GIFTED ARE BLESSED on the the other hand,

..............SOME WANDER AIMLESSLY FOREVER.

UNDER THY COMMANDMENTS EXIST, one & ALL without any exception whatso ever.

SAYTH NANAK! IF, & ONLY IF, TRUTH’S COMMANMENTS ARE UNDERSTOOD, ONE's EGO & FALSE PRIDE GETs SHED.

Step 3:DARE & SING

(...back to IDOL of TRUTH..)

ANY ONE DARE TO SING with me? & Sing :-

..............for the Insignia of THY GIFTS ?

..............virtues of IDOLs of TRUTH?

..............Quinescence of knowledge consollidated through DEEP studies ?

ANY ONE DARE TO SING ? that TRUTH :-

............. Fashions the body, and then reduces it to dust ?

............. Restores life after He takes away.

............. Appears so very far away ?

............. Watches over us, face to face, ever-present ?

There is plthora of philosophies/sermons/preachers/ & self proclaimed godmen.

Millions upon millions offer millions of sermons and stories.

...............( Today's Yogis / Sadhus / Swamyjis / Mahatmas / Dharamgurus mushrooming the word over & on Net not to be forgotten )

TRUTH keeps on giving, while receipents grow weary of receiving.

Throughout the ages, consumers consume relentlessly.

...............(Nanak Sahib would have definitely included here, today's cool eats,beats,heats,hoggers,bloggers & all junks,punks & funks)

TRUTH, through Thy COMMANDMENTS, leads us to walk on life's Path.

Sayth Nanak! ( all this not withstanding, ) TRUTH blossoms forth, Carefree.

Step 4: RISE EARLY & PONDER OVER WISDOM

LORD TRUTH is TRUE .

THY JUSTICE is TRUE .

THY LANGUAGE is LOVE BEYOND ALL BOUNDRIES .

People endlessly beg and pray, "Give to us, give to us", and the great giver ‘TRUTH’ keeps honoring them.

 * What return gifts can we reciprocate with
 
 through which we might see Thy Court

 where Lord TRUTH writes all Commandments?


* What words should we speak to evoke 

  Thy favour & Love?



* By contemplating and pondering Over Truths
 
 & Wisdom During ambrosial hours before dawn

 ( Three Hrs before Sun Rise ).

Today’s condition of all Living beings and availability of Support for their Livelihood is a consequence of actions in the past.

‘TRUE KEYS’ to Truth (actions in harmony with ‘TRUTH’s’ Commandments), are found Through Lord TRUTH’s Grace.

Let us understand that LORD TRUTH Himself alone is always true. We tend to deviate from obeying TRUTH’s Commandments.

Step 5: SERVE TRUE IDEAs ,

Lord TRUTH is SELF MADE, ..can not be created and / or established like an idol of stone......(...back to IDOL of TRUTH..)

Lord TRUTH Himself is Immaculate and Pure & needs no washing/bathing..

Those who Serve TRUE IDEAs by..

..Singing

Sayth Nanak! Let us all sing Odes to the glory of the Lord ‘TRUTH’, who is the Treasure of Excellence.

..Listening

Come On! Let us all! Every one of us! Sing and listen to Odes to Master ‘TRUTH’.

..& Grasping the Quintessence

Let us grasp & retain the Theme of TRUE IDEAs sung,( dedicated to no one but Lord TRUTH), deep in our hearts through: -

...........Deep thinking,

...........Analysis,

...........Comprehension,

...........Infinite love &

...........Hard Work.

..& stay in harmony with Thy commandments, earn honors.

This way let us all rid ourselves of the pain, & miseries and carry everlasting peace to our homes.

Within TRUE IDEAs reside:-

..........yogic Sound-current glorified as ‘Naad’ by yogis.

..........wisdom of ‘Vedas’

..........Master ‘TRUTH ‘ himself.

..........GOD

..........Master of Yoga Gorakh.

..........Vishnu and Brahma;

..........Paarvati and Lakhshmi

It is mind-boggling. Even if I had known all those & all that reside within TRUE IDEAs, I would not have been able to put across and describe in words.

To begin with Guru, ( TRUE IDEAs to TRUTH ) has given me just one understanding that There is only the One Master Giver of all souls i.e. TRUTH, May I never forget TRUTH!

Step 6: KNOW THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR OWN INTELLECT

My pilgrimageand holy bath is my being pleasing to Him. Without earning THY approval , what good are ritualistic bathing at places of stated holy Pligrimages.

I gaze upon all the created beings: without doing good deeds, one receives nothing.

Within the mind are gems, jewels and rubies of intellect. if only one introspects & listens to Commandments of Lord TRUTH , even once.

All that is required is one thing -Listening to SatGur, ( TRUE IDEAs to TRUTH ).If only one listens this, he becomes a Sikh.

In regional Punjabi ' O SIKH(noun)! bus ikk SIKH ( verb) '

Punjabi has a classical attribute of being brief, straight to the point & thus lends itself conveniently to complex poetic, psychological, sentimental & philosophical expressions. Same word can be repeatedly used as verb/noun/adjective etc.

Nanak's writings are 'Unique Master Pieces in this regard .

SatGur has given me one understanding that there is only the One Master Giver of all souls i.e. Lord TRUTH. May I never forget LORD TRUTH.

Step 7: TOIL FOR THY APPROVAL

Even if one...

.............could live throughout the four ages, or even ten times more,

.............was known throughout the nine continents and followed by all,

.............had a good name and reputation, with praise and fame throughout the world,

Still if Lord does not bless him, then who cares? What is the use? In such a case...

............one would be considered a lowly worm Among worms,

............even contemptible sinners would hold him in contempt.

THOU alone bless the unworthy with virtue, and bestow virtues on the virtuous.

No one else can even be imagined who could bestow any virtue upon unworthy.
