lnspired by many of AkalPurkhDiFauj pehji's post lets discuss what

can be laerned from this shabd....

[Demonic Warrior]

God gives his true devotees true honor. All they do is put their reliance in God and in no one else. This is how they love him, and so in return God helps and honors them; as they recognise him he recognises them, hence recognising our needs. For example, when Harnaakash was arguing with Bhagat Prahlaad due to Prahlaad worshiping and reciting God's name, Harnaakash's enemy. Harnakash asked Prahlaad while taking out his sword preparing to kill his own son: "where is your god now", Prahlaad answered:"The Life of the World, the Great Giver, is my Help and Support in the end. Wherever I look, I see Him permeating and prevailing." In that instant, God came onto earth tearing down a pillar and appeared as NARSINGH (man-lion), and he then tore harnaakash with his nails, killing him -

ਸਰਣਾਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ ਜਨ ਆਏ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਸਵਾਰੀ ॥੨॥

Slave Prahlaad sought Your Sanctuary, and You saved his honor.

God honors us because we honor him. The Creation honors the Creator. Similarly, Bhagat naam Dev ji was honored by God; he was kicked out of the temple due to his caste but God made the brahmins bow down before him making a miracle occur, the temple turning towards his way.

heres a shabad by Bhai Niranjan Singh Ji

Bhai Niranjan Singh Moko Thoo Na Bisaar

This Shabad is by Bhagat Naam Dev Ji in Raag Malaar on Pannaa 1292

malaar ||

Malaar:

mo ko thoo(n) n bisaar thoo n bisaar ||

Please do not forget me; please do not forget me,

thoo n bisaarae raameeaa ||1|| rehaao ||

please do not forget me, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

aalaava(n)thee eihu bhram jo hai mujh oopar sabh kopilaa ||

The temple priests have doubts about this, and everyone is furious with me.

soodh soodh kar maar out(h)aaeiou kehaa karo baap beet(h)ulaa ||1||

Calling me low-caste and untouchable, they beat me and drove me out; what should I do now, O Beloved Father Lord? ||1||

mooeae hooeae jo mukath dhaehugae mukath n jaanai koeilaa ||

If You liberate me after I am dead, no one will know that I am liberated.

eae pa(n)ddeeaa mo ko dtaedt kehath thaeree paij pishha(n)ouddee hoeilaa ||2||

These Pandits, these religious scholars, call me low-born; when they say this, they tarnish Your honor as well. ||2||

thoo j dhaeiaal kirapaal keheeath hai(n) athibhuj bhaeiou apaaralaa ||

You are called kind and compassionate; the power of Your Arm is absolutely unrivalled.

faer dheeaa dhaehuraa naamae ko pa(n)ddeean ko pishhavaaralaa ||3||2||

The Lord turned the temple around to face Naam Dayv; He turned His back on the Brahmins. ||3||2||
