Step 4: RISE EARLY & PONDER OVER Thy Commandments

i. e. Sikh's Life line, TRUE IDEAs

• 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 to seek a glance of Thy Court?
 
* What words should we speak to evoke Thy favour & Love?
 
* CONTEMPLATE and PONDER Over 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 / pampering. Such ritualistic Services are FALSE

TRUE Service to the Lord is Service to SatGur ( TRUE IDEAs )

Those who Serve TRUE IDEAs by..

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

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

* 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.
