tape 55 out of 81:

Sidhas asked Guru Ji then how come you have done only Naam di Mehima(Importance and glorification of Naam)? Guru Ji replied, what else is there beside Naam? Sidhas replied, like visiting pilgrames(tiraths) and doing tap(hard penances)??

Guru Ji replied:

tirath tap da-i-aa dat daan.

Going to Pilgrimages and having austere discipline, mere compassion , charity

jay ko paavai til kaa maan.

these, by themselves, bring only an iota of merit.

Guru Ji said such things have greater chances to bring ego in this being.

Then Guru Ji said out of all, highest karam is:

suni-aa mani-aa man keetaa bhaa-o.

Listening to gurbani spiritual discourses and believing, following them with

love and humility in your mind,

antargat tirath mal naa-o.

that will cleanse yourself with the Name, then one gets sacred shrine deep within.

Gurbani says:

Jo Bhramandai So Pindaie, Jo Khojee So Pavaie ||

Whatever god's creation is outside, exist also in this being. When One searches for it then they realize and expereince it.

Guru Ji then told sidhas, such people then say after fully immersed with Naam:

sabh gun tayray mai naahee ko-ay.

All virtues are Yours, Lord, I have none at all.

vin gun keetay bhagat na ho-ay.

Without virtue(sat, santokh, dharam, daya, vichar), there is no devotional worship.

Gyani gives another interpertation of the above tuk since gun has two meanings..!

Without(gun)paropkar/grace of Vahiguroo, one cannot be devotee.

su-asat aath banee barmaa-o.

Vahiguroo who is kalyan saroop first spoke bani- ongkar resonace which created Brahma and the world.

Then Sidhas asked Guru Ji, if Vahiguroo changes(updahis) after transcending itself into creation.

Guru ji replied:

sat suhaan sadaa man chaa-o.

He is True( ad sach, jugad sach, habhi sach, nanak hosi bhi sach), ever beautiful(chatayen saroop) and Eternally Joyful (Sat, Chit Ananda Saroop).

tape 56 out of 81:

Sidhas then asked Guru ji, please tell us when vahiguroo created his creation? any time? any place?

kavan so vaylaa vakhat kavan kavan thit kavan vaar.

What was that time, and what was that moment? What was that day, and what was that date?

kavan se rutee maahu kavan jit ho-aa aakaar.

What was that season, and what was that month, when the Universe was created?

vayl na paa-ee-aa pandtee je hovai laykh puraan.

The Pandits, the religious scholars, cannot find that time, even if it is written in the Puraanas.

vakhat na paa-i-o kaadee-aa je likhan laykh kuraan.

That time is not known to the Qazis, who study the Koran.

thit vaar naa jogee jaanai rut maahu naa ko-ee.

The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season.

jaa kartaa sirthee ka-o saajay aapay jaanai so-ee.

The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows.

kiv kar aakhaa kiv saalaahee ki-o varnee kiv jaanaa.

How can we speak of Him? How can we praise Him? How can we describe Him? How can we know Him?

naanak aakhan sabh ko aakhai ik doo ik si-aanaa.

O Nanak, everyone speaks of Him, by claiming wister than the rest.

vadaa saahib vadee naa-ee keetaa jaa kaa hovai.

Great is the Master, Great is His Name. Whatever happens is according to His Will.

naanak jay ko aapou jaanai agai ga-i-aa na sohai. ||21||

O Nanak, if one claims that they know everything, their gyan(knowledge) does not get accepted.

Guru Ji then says:

paataalaa paataal lakh aagaasaa aagaas.

There are countless nether worlds beneath nether worlds, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly worlds above.

Gyani ji shares an sakhi of Sri Guru Nanak dev ji how once guru ji spoke "paataalaa paataal lakh aagaasaa aagaas" in bhagdad. There was this muslim pir and his followers who then questioned Guru Ji bachan and accused Guru Ji of lying. Guru ji asked peer ji, why you getting angry? Peer said, our prophet muhammed sahib said, there are 7 nether worlds not countless nether worlds. Guru ji showed his son glimpse of countless nether worlds via surti(concentration) and then his son told his father that Guru Ji is right, Guru Ji himself is Allah Roop (emobdiment of Allah).

orhak orhak bhaal thakay vayd kahan ik vaat.

People have tried searching for end in past, present and will in future at end they all gave up and will give up, vedas says the same thing -

Neeit Neieth Kathan Bheda Bayant hai Bayant Hai ||

sahas athaarah kahan kataybaa asuloo ik Dhaat.

Thousands of dieties along with eighteen scriptures says there is no end, we are tired of searching because in reality, there is only One God that exist and knows.

laykhaa ho-ay ta likee-ai laykhai ho-ay vinaas.

If you try to write an account of this, you will surely finish yourself before you finish writing it.

naanak vadaa aakhee-ai aapay jaanai aap. ||22||

O Nanak, call Him Great! He Himself knows Himself.

Gyani Ji says: Whoever tried to find his end in good intention, at the end just merged in him.

tape 57 out of 81:

Guru Ji then talks about the next pauri.

saalaahee saalaahi aytee surat na paa-ee-aa.

The Lord who is worth praising, we should praise the Lord but you haven't obtain that intuitive understanding.

nadee-aa atai vaah pavahi samund na jaanee-ahi.

Then there are those who act streams and rivers (poor and rich) and merges into the ocean( ocean of vices) that they have forgotten Naam.

Gyani ji then shares another interpertation of the above tuk which is commonly used:

the streams and rivers flowing into the ocean(spirituality) do not know its vastness.

samund saah sultaan girhaa saytee maal Dhan.

Even kings and emperors, with mountains of property and oceans of wealth

keerhee tul na hovnee jay tis manhu na veesrahi. ||23||

- such are not even equal to an ant, but those who does not forget God, even they may look as smaller as ant in worldly eyes, but they are God's beloved and they are kings in eyes of God.

Guru Ji further narrated:

ant na siftee kahan na ant.

Endless are His Praises, endless are those who speak them.

Just by praises one cannot find his end, just by speaking one cannot find his end.

Gyani Ji shares an sakhi of Sant gyani gurbachan singh ji bhindravale said even bhramgyani cannot find his end because there is no need. Bhramgyani merges with God and becomes image of God, there is no need of finding end at that state because bhramgyani have became Advait roop(no duality) with god and have destroyed dualistic mind. They don't see two like us. They see God and only God in everywhere. One feels the need to find an end of God when one considers God and self as two separate entities.Bhramgyanis are above that duality.

ant na karnai dayn na ant.

One cannot find end his Actions nor end of his Gifts.

ant na vaykhan sunan na ant.

One cannot find his end to see Vision of his creation nor one can find his end by hearing about him.

ant na jaapai ki-aa man mant.

His limits cannot be perceived. What is the Mystery of His Mind?

Gyani Ji shares an sakhi of Sant Harnam Singh Ji Rampurkher wale- once one person asked Sant ji about future predictions. Sant Ji was young that time. Sant Ji went in meditation and told him that the times are not looking good in year - 1946. There will be lot of violence and massacare in India. When year -1946 came and went by, nothing really happened. That person start making fun of Sant Harnam Singh Ji. Sant ji told him, that's what i saw and told him let me sit in meditation again. He sat in meditation for that purpose, he came to know that - Sant baba Nand Singh Ji did ardas to Vahiguroo that I cannot see this (Bhramgyanis have komal heart, cannot see any kind of harm done against other humans), so vahiguroo delayed it for one year for his bhagat..when Sant baba Nand Singh Ji went to Sachkhand in 1946.Then all masaccared happened in 1947.

Gyan ji says: even if one tries to see the future events by antarjamta even then at times, bhramgyani can do ardas and can make those events delay or cancelled.

ant na jaapai keetaa aakaar.

The limits of the created universe cannot be perceived.

tape 58 and above:

Guru Ji futher says:

ant na jaapai paaraavaar.

Its limits here(lok) and beyond(parlok) cannot be perceived.

ant kaaran kaytay billaahi.

Many struggle to know His limits,

taa kay ant na paa-ay jaahi.

but His limits cannot be found.

ayhu ant na jaanai ko-ay.

No one can know these limits.

bahutaa kahee-ai bahutaa ho-ay.

The more you say about them, the more there still remains to be said.

vadaa saahib oochaa thaa-o.

Great is the Master, High is His Sachkhand Home.

oochay upar oochaa naa-o.

Highest of the High, above all is His Name(Naam).

Gyani ji says: Via Naam, one can reach Naami(Vahiguroo) by giving example of bhai gopala ji. When Bhai Gopala Ji was about to do japji sahib da patt. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji told bhai gopala ji to sit 1 1/2 foot above him because now you are reciting his Naam in form of japji sahib which is Sri Guru Nanak Patsah bani.

ayvad oochaa hovai ko-ay.

One who has recited on his Name(Naam) becomes as Great and as High as God.

tis oochay ka-o jaanai so-ay.

Vahiguroo know his own self,and Exalted State.

jayvad aap jaanai aap aap.

Only He Himself is that Great. He Himself knows Himself.

naanak nadree karmee daat. ||24||

O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, He bestows His Blessings on this jev(being).

Gyani ji says: without his grace, nobody could find his ant(end).

tape 59 out of 81:

bahutaa karam likhi-aa naa jaa-ay.

His Blessings are so abundant that there can be no written account of them.

vadaa daataa til na tamaa-ay.

Vahiguroo, the Great giver does not have any desire so when he gives, he keeps giving without asking anything or hold back anything.

Taamaya also means anger. Vahiguroo does not get angry at anyone.

Gyani gives an example of Mosa Pagamvar: When Mosa pagamvar asked Allah/Vahiguroo that you should make me a giver. Vahiguroo told him via telepathy try it. Mosa Pagamvar with his powers start giving daily food to everybody. After day was over, Mosa Pagamvar told Vahiguroo/Allah that I have fullfill my duty of giving. Vahiguroo said in form of akash bani that you didn't- you left one person. Mosa said that person was a sinner, when i was about to give him daily food. I saw he was committing an sin. I left him.

So Siri Guru Nanak Sahib says by giving this example how Mosa Pagamvar had dvaish(partiality) towards sinner that he refused to give him good but Vahiguroo's nature is ever -giving, he gives datta(Gift) to everyone regardless sinner or not sinner, this being cannot be giver without his grace.

kaytay mangahi joDh apaar.

There are so many heroic warriors begging at the Door of the Infinite Lord.

Gyan Ji says: There are levels of warriors.

From socio-religious context in course of defending the dharam and humanity.

Soorma: Fights with 10, 100 oppressors.

Yodha: Alone fight with lakhs(100,000)

Athrathi Yodha: Highest of all, fight with 20 lakh oppressors but it's rare. Gyani Ji gave example from history- How bhai udhay singh ji asked siri dasam patsah to give him energy to fight all the turkhs alone. Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave him bachan- you shall be athrathi yodha. Guru Ji gave him full grace to get fateh(victory) in the battle field.

From spiritual context:

Soorma: People who ask vahiguroo to do sarvan(listening in sangat).

Yoda: People who ask Vahiguroo to do mannan(following upon on sarvan of discourses),and acting(Nidhasan) upon it.

Arthrati Yoda: People who ask Vahiguroo for his full grace /prapti(to merge with God)

Soorma is also an person who ask Vahiguroo to get control over vices. Yodha is also an person who ask Vahiguroo to control indraie(sense). Arthrathi Yoda is also an person who ask Vahiguroo to control over full mind.

kayti-aa ganat nahee veechaar.

So many contemplate and dwell upon Him, that they cannot be counted.

kaytay khap tutahi vaykaar.

So many waste away to death engaged in vices/desires.

kayti-aa dookh bhookh sad maar.

So many endure constant distress, deprivation and abuse.

Gyani ji says, Gurmukh's seeks dukh so that they can get more bairaag(emotion) and meditate on more Naam. Gurmukhs beleive in dukh which acts like remedy.

Gurbani says: Dukh Daru Sukh Rog Bhaiya ||

ayhi bhe daat tayree daataar.

jis no bakhsay sifat saalaah.

One who is blessed to sing the Praises of the Lord,

naanak paatisaahee paatisaahu. ||25||

O Nanak, is the king of kings.

Gyani Ji added: Patisahee is Vahiguroo who is sitting on the throne. When this being gets blessed to sit on that thorne like a king then one becomes paatisahuu.

Guru Ji then talks about next pauri:

amul gun amul vaapaar.

Priceless are His Virtues, Priceless are His Dealings.

Gyan Ji says: Sikhs are given all the virtues by satguru ie- sat, santokh, gian, daya, dharam, pyaar, bairaag

Gur Sagar Ratan Par Pooraie Amrit Sant Chugaie Nahi Dooraie ||

amul vaapaaree-ay amul bhandaar.

Priceless are his bhramgyani/saints, sat sangati in form of dealers and priceless are his treasures ie- Naam, bhramgyan treasures.

Gyani also talks about this tuk by looking at Satguru's showering all the graces and gifts where satguru is dealer of bhandars(virtues). He is ever forgiving and gives the treasure to everyone regardless if the person is a sinner or not.

amul aavahi amul lai jaahi.

Priceless are those who come to this earth and take priceless(bhramgyan, anand)treasures with them.

Gurbani says: Dhan Dhan Dhan Jan Aiye Jis Parsad Sab Jagat Teraya ||

amul bhaa-ay amulaa samaahi.

Priceless is Love of Bhramgyani towards Vahiguroo, Priceless is their absorption into Bhram(Vahiguroo).

Guru Ji says

so dar kayhaa so ghar kayhaa jit bahi sarab samaalay.

Gyani Ji says: There are three so dar which comes in gurbani. Once in japji sahib, once in rehras sahib and one in asa raag. We are discussing about so dar in japji sahib.

there are many meaning of ghar for example- heart, sachkhand, sadh sangat ji.

1st interpretation of above quote if we look at it from sadh sangat context-

Where is that gate, and where is that dwelling in which everyone talks about you and remembers you in holy congregation ?

Where is that gate, and where is that dwelling in which all accepted spiritual souls who have attained enlightment engage in non-transcedental celestial meditation.

3nd interpertation of above quote if we look at it from physical body context-

Guru ji replies to them in the next pauri.

munda santokh saram pat jholee Dhi-aan kee karahi bibhoot.

Make contentment, hesitance(refrain from doing bad things) as your ear-rings, vichar and humility as your begging bowl, and do meditation instead of applying ashes to your body.

    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
