34 Steps more to Lord TRUTH -SGGS pg 12

..back to Step 1 to 4

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!

• 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 No One's, but 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.

TRUTHFULLY BELIEVE in TRUE IDEAs

Step 12: JUST BELIEVE

• Blissful & morally elevated state of those, who love & believe in TRUE IDEAs, cannot be described. Any one trying to do that will fail miserably & will regret the futile effort.
• No paper, No pen, No scribe can ever record it. So vast & limitless is such a state, it just can not be expressed in words.

# Magnanimity of Immaculate Lord TRUTH, realized through 
infallible belief in TRUE IDEAs even once , carries one 
to such a blissful state of mind.
 
# If only a mind has infallible faith in flawless route of
 TRUE  IDEAs leading to ONE Lord TRUTH.

Step 13: BELIEVE to Develop Intutive Shield

• Believers, through integrated intuition :-

-- carry awareness and intelligence to regulate their own minds, thus guarding against the attack of all such worldly temptations/distractions which get a person in physical, mental, social/political trouble/pain/misery.

-- always stay alive to their environment & always stay alert & aware to all the happenings.

--..grace the Royal/Temporal thrones.

--..grace judicial seats since their thoughts are always unanimous & TRUTHful

--..Further, On reaching Lord TRUTH's Court they receive entry, acceptance & honor

• However, aim of life can no way be to arrive at the limits & creative potential of Lord TRUTH . If only one understands this this, he stands out as a TRUE IDOL of Lord TRUTH himself .
• If some one, who is stupid enough not to believe this TRUTH, ever tries to speak out on the issue after mind boggling mental exercises / discussions, will miserably fail.
• Vedic & numerous other writings of different faiths have tried to bind Lord TRUTH & his creations in imaginary & textual limits. A typical example is the Vedic contention that earth rests on the thorns of a bull.
• Come on ! how can a tiny bull bear the weight of the entire earth. If the propagators of this stupid idea insist on living with it, let them say as to what is the bull standing on? Has to be yet another earth held by yet another bull & there goes the endless chain of bulls & earths.
• Good enough! let us not waste time on mythological imaginations & ritualistic 'Monkey Tricks' being professed by falsehood to mislead us from our path of TRUTHful living.
• There are numerous living beings who write Thy accounts through free flowing endless writings. However, only rarest of the rare write TRUTHfully.
• Even endless TRUTHful writings can in no way arrive at the Limits & creative potential of Lord TRUTH. Sorry for & down with the false mythical writings!
• The strength of Lord TRUTH's creative potential is so vast, limitless & beautiful that no one can ever dare to make even a crude estimate.
• Lord TRUTH through his one command created the sprawling universe. Through Thy command came into beings life. Life time of all living beings flowing something like millions of rivers, which join back to limitless oceanic Lord TRUTH.
• As a petty writer I just can't ponder over & document in words the vastness of Lord TRUTH's Nature & Will . Best I can offer is to seek Thy blessings to accept your will which is always TRUE, with grace & reverence . I am sacrifice to you O Lord! not once, but endlessly.

Step 17:COMPREHEND & APPRECIATE Nature's Versatility & Ways

• There are countless reciting contents of countless scriptures. Still countless are worshiping all over or are toiling to master endless stationary postures. As if there is no limit still endless are endlessly busy reading & letting out discourses from Vedic Scriptures . Yet another set of countless beings have adopted passive yogic lifestyle by staying aloof from civilisation.
• Countless..

--..seekers are busy pondering over wisdom, Thy will & ways.

--..claim to be TRUTHful.

--..claim to be humble donators.

--..boast of their being proud soldiers capable of bearing the brunt of deadliest of the weapons.

--..just stay in a trance of endless speechlessness.

• Fine ! all this is happening as per Thy Will O Lord. As a petty writer I just can't ponder over & document in words the vastness of Lord TRUTH's Nature & Will . Best I can offer is to seek Thy blessings to accept your will, which is always TRUE, with grace & reverence. I am sacrifice to you not once O Lord!, but endlessly.

Step 18: Accept 'Non Believers' as Thy Creation & part of HUMANITY

• As a petty writer I just can't ponder over & document in words the vastness of Lord TRUTH's Nature & Will . Best I can offer is to seek Thy blessings & accept your will, which is always TRUE, with grace & reverence . I am sacrifice to you not once, but endlessly.
• There are countless..

--..fools of the highest order

--..who claim to be TRUTHful.

--..who claim to be humble donators.

--..who boast of their being proud soldiers capable of bearing the brunt of deadliest of the weapons.

--..who just stay in a trance of endless speechlessness .

• There are countless

--fools of the highest order,

--thieves,

--social parasites

--Rulers, who leave this word after mercilessly ruling & exploiting their subjects. nothing

--Killers who earn credit by butchering innocents.

--Sinners, who depart living life clung to falsehood & sins.

--Habitual Rouges, who simply keep stuffing their minds with falsehood.

--Idiots, who just eat, eat & eat nothing but rubbish .

--Live by speaking & propagating ill of others.

• Humble Nanak written all this after deep & deliberate analysis of his observation of TRUTHs prevailing around.
• As a petty writer I just can't ponder over & document in words the vastness of Lord TRUTH's Nature & Will . Best I can offer is to seek Thy blessings & accept your will, which is always TRUE, with grace & reverence . I am sacrifice to you not once, but endlessly.

SHINE the SOILED SOUL WITH TRUTH

• Hands, feet or body having become soiled can be conveniently washed with water.
• Clothes having got soiled with filth or/and urine can be washed with soap.
• Similarly if the mind gets soiled with falsehood, it can be washed through TRUTHful living by becoming TRUE IDOL of Lord TRUTH.
• There is no need to indulge in useless analysis of the terms 'Sins' or/and 'Virtues'.
• The TRUTH is that every one's account of TRUE / FALSE deeds earned by him through his lifetime is being accounted for by Lord TRUTH without any delay what so ever, on real time basis. Only all these writings will accompany a person after he departs this word
• One's further disposal after departing from here is strictly as per the credit of TRUTHs / FALCITIES earned during one's lifetime.

Step 21: Shed Falsehood & Useless Studies

• Vedic scriptures unanimously say there are nether worlds beneath nether worlds, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly worlds above. Countless saints & learned scholars have gone weary & failed in their attempt to find the limits of Lord TRUTH's Creations
• All four Islamic & Christian scriptures state that there are 18,000 worlds controlled by Lord TRUTH.
• But the TRUTH is that numeric counts in no way can describe the non existent limits of Thy endlessly sprawling. Such an account just can not be written.
• Even if some stupid does make an attempt, the limited size of all possible possible textual writings will exhaust even before beginning to take on such a mindless exercise.
• O Nanak, call Him Great! He Himself knows Himself.

Step 23: PRAISE No One but TRUTH & TRUE IDEAs

• When one Praises no one but Lord TRUTH, one become part of Praise Worthy Lord himself .
• It is as simple as rivers & channels heading for ocean never attempt to go about the ocean in a bid to get at the extent of ocean's limits, the channels simply become part of the ocean itself .
• Such IDOLs of TRUTH can not be tempted & lured away from their faith in TRUTH & TRUE IDEAs & TRUTHful living. For them, highest of the kings and emperors, & mountains of property and oceans of wealth, unless dedicated to Lord TRUTH / HUMANITY, are worth not even an ant.

WORK WITHIN & AS PART OF Lord TRUTH

Step 24: WORK to seek Thy favour.

• Endless aspects & dimensions of TRUTH are are endless

--Thy virtues & explanations thereof are endless

--Thy creations in the entire universe & bounties are endless.

--Endless efforts to listen to & perceive Thy ways just can not make one reach your limits.

--The extent & content of thy plans can not be arrived at.

--The near or far ends of your creations just cannot be perceived.

• Why should one be stupid to spend life time in trying to quantify & define non-existent limits of Thy Will & Ways, as different 'schools of thought' / philosophies / traditions / faiths in India & word over give out, & at times even dictate to Humanity. all such efforts are FALSE. Let us have it straight! These limits can not be defined. More one walks to wards these imaginary non existent limits, farther they go leading one no where.
• Oh Lord! Thou are limitlessly high! higher still is your abode! Still higher to arrive at is your name i.e. 'TRUTH' .
• If one TRUTHfully rises that High & becomes an IDOL of TRUTH , then only Lord TRUTH can be realized. No one but Lord TRUTH alone knows his limits.
• It is his blessings alone that can make one live in harmony with his commandments. The urge & yearning to be Lord's chosen ones also is bestowed upon only those who commit themselves to living by TRUTH & TRUE IDEAs.

Step 25: SHED COMSUMERISM & Team up with IDOLs of TRUTH

• His Blessings are so abundant that there can be no written account of them.
• The Great Giver does not hold back anything.
• There are so many great, heroic warriors begging at the Door of the Infinite Lord.
• So many contemplate and dwell upon Him, that they cannot be counted.
• So many waste away to death engaged in corruption.
• So many take and take again, and then deny receiving.
• So many foolish consumers keep on consuming.
• So many endure distress, deprivation and constant abuse.
• Even these are Your Gifts, O Great Giver!
• Liberation from bondage comes only by Your Will.
• No one else has any say in this.
• If some fool should presume to say that he does,
• he shall learn, and feel the effects of his folly.
• He Himself knows, He Himself gives.
• Few, very few are those who acknowledge this.
• One who is blessed to sing the Praises of the Lord,
• O Nanak, is the king of kings. ||25||

Step 26: SHED , DISCARD & DUMP Mythology & Myths.

Step 27: Become a Visionary. Do not Question Lord TRUTH & Thy WILL.

• Thy GATE

LET TRUTH BE ONE & ONLY ANCHOR TO LIVE LIFE BY

Step 28: WIN YOUR OWN MIND to Win the World

• O Yogies & detached hermits let :-

Patience be your ear rings (traditionally worn by the Yogies)

Hard Work be your pride & knotted bag ( a piece of cloth knotted as bag which Yogies traditionally sling around their shoulders ) & food bowl.

Concentration be the smear of ash ( traditionally applied by Yogies on their entire body )

Reality of DEATH be your bed ( instead of a rotten yogic style bed ).

Caring & maintaining a Healthy body be the Yogic way of living .

TRUTH & TRUE IDEAs be your yogic stick to support you ( a stick used by Yogies to support their limbs in various yogic postures).

Brotherhood of all mankind be the highest order of Yogis ( called Aai Panthi ). Be a Fan of only 'Lord TRUTH' & of 'No One & Be a 'Friend of every one' & 'Foe of None'.

• This is a TRUE IDEA to conquer your own mind, thereafter the entire world stands conquered.

Step 29: CONSOLIDATE KNOWLEDGE, Meetings & Separations ...

• O you detached hermits & Yogis ! Let TRUE IDEAs guiding you to TRUTH be your food, and compassion the attendant, serving you the food. You do not have to uselessly blow the trumpet hanging around the neck of each one of you ( a yogic ritual followed during their meals time). Let Lord TRUTH gifted life be the trumpet instead.
• Let 'no one', (' Gorakhnath' who initiated the Yogic Sect ) let Lord TRUTH be Your Naath. He Himself is the Supreme Master of all humans, including you Yogies.
• Glory & successful acquisition of eight miraculous powers ( expected to be two aims of life as far as yogic thinking is concerned ), like other human temptations, are vices to deviate you from the path to TRUTH.
• Instances of meeting of human beings & their separation are not at random but are part of scheme of things with Lord TRUTH. This is how truths prevailing over the universe are regulated by Lord TRUTH to make every one of us to walk the way of Thy Will.
• If only one understands Lord TRUTH's Will of making us walk as per his commandments, The wall of ego & falsehood collapses from deep within.

Step 30: PERCEIVE TRUTH Through Mythological Falsehood...

• As per Vedic Thinking One Divine Mother conceived and gave birth to the three Vedic deities.

Brahama: the Creator,

Vishnu: the Sustainer &

Shiva: the Destroyer.

• These Dieties are said to be defining Lord TRUTH & his functions. This is FALSE.

• The TRUTH is that Lord TRUTH makes things happen as per Thy will & makes every one walk the way of life as per Thy commandments.

• Such is Thy Celestial Order. Lord TRUTH watches over all, but none see Him. How wonderful this is!

I bow to Him! I humbly bow!

Step 31: LET Your Creations be as TRUE as Those of Lord TRUTH

• Lord TRUTH exercises his control over all his creations which spread world after world.

• Thou work on all these creations only once & Make them flawlessly perfect & TRUE in first attempt as per thy scheme of Things, unlike me who do even a small bit in a messy way making a chain of mistakes to slowly & progressively give final TRUE Shape to a TRUE IDEA.

• Having done with the 'creations' part of Thy function , Thou move on to Thy next step of Keeping a 'flawless, endless & real time watch' over Thy creations.

• Wow! What magnificent, perfect & awe inspiring management of the Universe & beyond. O Lord please! Please! Teach me that sort of working.

• I bow before you O Lord ! I humbly bow & am a sacrifice to Thou & Thy Creations.

Step 32: Intutively Practice These 38 Commandments in Real Life.

• Physically practice climbing these Steps to Lord TRUTH, one at a time, in actual real life.

• Their Mechanical repeating will be like millions & millions of insects just having heard of Sky, set out to mill around & overcast the sky trying to reach it.

• Lord TRUTH is Realised through His Grace only. Manmukhs just endlessly keep stuffing themself with falsehood (mechanical endless repeation of GurBani with the hope of realising social/political /monetry/ materialistic motives, boosting their Own ego or stupidly wasting time in trying to please/realise Lord TRUTH )

• Falsehood is NOOO...OOOT approved in the Court of Lord TRUTH.

Step 33: TREAT ALL HUMANS as Equal With No Racial Discrimination

• We have no control whatsoever on the acts of :-

--speaking or staying silent.

--Begging or giving .

--staying alive or dying .

--holding Kingdoms & acquiring wealth & & ego there after .

--self realization ,acquisition of wisdom & the flow of thoughts.

--walking the way of Thy will and acquiring salvation.

• All is under Thy explicit & exclusive control. These are Thy functions, who are we to muddle with them?
• Lord TRUTH watches it's own creations & makes them walk the way of life as per his WILL.
• That being so, how can human beings grade other human beings as High / Low ( As per the Indian Vedic scriptures & social system, low cast people by birth are considered to be destined & created by Lord TRUTH to serve & appease the Holy, High & Mighty clergy, royal & business classes of the society. They are treated as 2nd grade human beings.)
• Similar racial discrimination aimed at accumulating wealth through Falsehood & Shady deals aimed at boosting one's ego, exists the World Over.

Step 34: Practice skill to Identify TRUE IDOLs Of Lord TRUTH

Step 36: ........

Step 37: Practice Becoming Part of Lord TRUTH

Step 38: BE CREATIVE & CRAFT TRUE IDEAS. How?

..........FEAR (of TRUTH) .......... the Blower.
