Fourth Mehl, Second House:
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
(There is ONE Creator whose Sabad
and Hukam Creates. HE is the True Guru that who gives knowledge and changes us
as Prasad.)
ਮੈ ਮਨਿ ਵਡੀ ਆਸ ਹਰੇ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪਾਵਾ ॥ ਹਉ ਜਾਇ ਪੁਛਾ ਅਪਨੇ ਸਤਗੁਰੈ
ਗੁਰ ਪੁਛਿ ਮਨੁ ਮੁਗਧੁ ਸਮਝਾਵਾ ॥ ਭੂਲਾ ਮਨੁ ਸਮਝੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਏ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸੁ
ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ॥੧॥
Within my mind there is such a great yearning;
how can the Blessed Har Darshan (see the God) be attained. Then
went and asked my Satguru, thereafter asking the Guru tried to make the foolish
mind understand. The mind that has forgotten understands through the Guru Sabad
that Har Har is to be meditated always. Says O Nanak, one who is blessed with
the Nadar by my Beloved, focuses his consciousness on the Har Charan.
(Comment:
The above part of the Sabad words tells that when there is yearning within then
the way is asked from the Satguru. The Satguru in this world is Gurbani. With
Vichar (contemplation) the mind which has forgotten (i.e. having no awareness of
Sach) comes to understand the Jap. When the Nadar is received the perception of
Sach opens up towards Har Charan. The Charan in Gurbani refer to the Sach whose
first mark of presence is Anhad Sabad. The attention is then placed on this as
Sabad-Surt meditation)
ਹਉ ਸਭਿ ਵੇਸ ਕਰੀ ਪਿਰ ਕਾਰਣਿ ਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਾਚੇ ਭਾਵਾ ॥ ਸੋ ਪਿਰੁ
ਪਿਆਰਾ ਮੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਦੇਖੈ ਹਉ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਧੀਰਜੁ ਪਾਵਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਕਾਰਣਿ ਹਉ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ਸੀਗਾਰੀ ਸੋ ਪਿਰੁ
ਰਤਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਅਵਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਧਨੁ ਧੰਨੁ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਣਿ ਜਿਨਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਰਾਵਿਅੜਾ ਸਚੁ ਸਵਰਾ ॥੨॥
I had dressed myself in all sorts of robes for my Husband, so as to please the Sacha
Prabh (God) is pleased. But my beloved does not look at me so how can I obtain
patience. For the sake of whom I had adored that beloved is with me but
separate. Says Nanak, blessed, blessed, blessed is that soul-bride, who enjoys
Sublime Husband Lord adorned with Sach.
ਹਉ ਜਾਇ ਪੁਛਾ ਸੋਹਾਗ ਸੁਹਾਗਣਿ ਤੁਸੀ ਕਿਉ ਪਿਰੁ
ਪਾਇਅੜਾ ਪ੍ਭੁ ਮੇਰਾ ॥ ਮੈ ਊਪਰਿ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੀ ਪਿਰਿ ਸਾਚੈ ਮੈ ਛੋਡਿਅੜਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਤੇਰਾ ॥ ਸਭੁ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ
ਜੀਉ ਕਰਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਭ ਕਾ ਇਤੁ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਭੈਣੇ ਮਿਲੀਐ ॥ ਆਪਨੜਾ ਪ੍ਭੁ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋਤਿ
ਜੋਤੀ ਰਲੀਐ ॥੩॥
I go and ask the fortunate, happy soul-bride, "How did you attain
beloved my Prabh. She answers, "My True Husband blessed me with Nadar; when I
abandoned the mine and yours. Dedicate everything, mind, body and life
awareness, as belonging to the Prabhu; this is the Path to meet Him, O sister".
When my Prabh looks giving Nadar then, Says Nanak, the light merges into the
Light.
(Comments:
This is opening up of Dasam Dwar in Saram Khand when light
merges with light. (This comes early) For that Nadar is needed. The hymn mentions the desire of the
Soul bride to meet the husband. In spiritual language all the Souls are female
and there is only one male the God. All the souls irrespective of male or female
physical body are sisters. The bride adorns herself to entice through various
means but is not able to do so.
(These ways are like rituals, pilgrimages and fasting.)
Then she asked the Gurmukhs (persons who are in Saran of Satguru
within) who explained that the Nadar was received when they gave up “mine and
your thinking” meaning Haume by considering everything, mind, body and life
awareness, as belonging to the Prabh. In such a thinking you are the
consciousness of the Karta Purakh in Mind-Body living a Human Life. Then when
Nadar comes the two separate appearing lights are one.)
ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਭ ਕਾ ਮੈ ਦੇਇ
ਸਨੇਹਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਦੇਵਾ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਪਖਾ ਫੇਰੀ ਸੇਵ ਕਮਾਵਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਪਾਣੀ ਢੋਵਾਂ ॥ ਨਿਤ
ਨਿਤ ਸੇਵ ਕਰੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਏ ॥ ਧਨੁ ਧੰਨੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਨਾਨਕ
ਮਨਿ ਆਸ ਪੁਜਾਏ ॥੪॥
So I dedicate my mind and body to the one who tells me the
message of my Prabh. I wave the fan over him every day, serve him and carry
water for him. Constantly and continuously, I serve the Lord's humble servant
who explains to me the sermon of the Har and only Har. Hail, hail unto the Guru,
the Guru is the complete Satguru (True Guru), who fulfills says Nanak, the
mind’s desires.
(Comments:
Gurbani asks that the one who does Jap has to help
others also on this path. So sharing is advised and also to seek the company
(Sangat) of such persons in whatever form whether through discourse, writing or
dialogue. This learning endeavor has to be daily activity with a humble
attitude. By asking to do seva of such a person the hidden meaning is not to
debate or doubt but to listen, evaluate and learn. Then we are told that the
True Guru is complete and is Satguru. A clarity is needed here. Above meaning is
that any living person is not the Satguru as they are not complete. Only Satguru
blesses with the Nadar. The Sikh Gurus always said that it is the Jyot within
that is the True Guru. This True Guru Jyot is now in Guru Granth Sahib. The Guru
Jyot are the words of Satguru. The Satguru is Purakh so complete.)
ਗੁਰੁ ਸਜਣੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਮੇਲਿ ਹਰੇ ਜਿਤੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵਾ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਸਟਿ ਪੂਛਾਂ ਕਰਿ
ਸਾਂਝੀ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾਂ ॥ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਸਦ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਮਨੁ ਜੀਵੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਤੇਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ
ਜਿਤੁ ਵੇਲਾ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤਿਤੁ ਵੇਲੈ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇ ਜੀਉ ਮੇਰਾ ॥੫॥
O Har, let me meet the Guru, my best friend; so that meeting with Him,
I meditate on the Har Naam.
From the Guru Satguru then I seek through dialogue to let me know so that I sing the
praises of Har Gunn, the qualities. Let me do this singing of praises daily so
that my mind lives by listening to your Naam. Says Nanak, in that moment when
the beloved master is forgotten then in that moment my life dies.
(Comment:
Here Karam Khand state is explained. It is after the Dasam Dwar opens up with light
merging with light. Now begins the process of living as One light. As now the
Naam has come to resides in the mind. Here living life through Naam Simran is
being explained. On one side in the enticing world is Maya and its influence.
This influence is also present in the Collective Consciousness. The mind is to
learn to live in new thinking and within so that the perception of Sach is
there. The Simran then is to remain within so that in the mind is Karta Purakh.
When this Simran breaks then the Maya brings us troubles. The Simran is kept up
day and night so that the light is sewn together with light. This is the brave
act to keep up simran of being one light in the Karam Khand. Naam is Sach and
the expression of Naam is of joy, of Oneness and of Love. It is the opposite of
attachment. It is living the joyful experience of life. It is living in the
presence. Hukam is seen in the beauty and workings of Nature. Hukam is seen in
our participation in life in developing, building with passion. There is a sense
of Karta at work. Our life starts being the expression of Naam. This Gurbani
says is having the Sehej, a life of equipoise and is being One. The Living from
Within is living an awakened life of awareness. This is being in Simran where
Naam is in the mind all the time. The Surt then functions from within. This is
living as Nirbhau with Hukam arranging the affairs in life.)
ਹਰਿ ਵੇਖਣ ਕਉ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ਲੋਚੈ ਸੋ ਵੇਖੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਵਿਖਾਲੇ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਦਾ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥
ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਸਮਾਲੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਿਲਿਆ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਹਰਿ ਇਕੇ
ਹੋਏ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਰਲਿਆ ॥੬॥੧॥੩॥
Everyone longs to see the Lord, but he alone
sees Him, whom the He causes to see Him. One upon whom my Beloved blesses with
Nadar that ever cherishes by way of Har, Har (simran). He alone cherishes the
Har, Har Naam always and who meets my Perfect True Guru. Says Nanak, Har’s
humble servant and the Har become One by way of Har Jap merges with the Har.
(Comment:
This is living in Sach Khand where there is One Existence. There is
only one light, that is then the life in the body. The conscious awareness has
the sense of Naam identity.)
