Vairag Shatak Pt 31-33 {English}

[MokhamSingh]

“SVAYAH”

“BHAVI KE BHAV ABHAVYATHA NARR MOTIN MONB KO SUMNA.

MADH KE BHOG KE MVEY RAMO GATT RAAG PRAMEH ANUTRANA.

BRAHM NIPUNSAK YOH MANN TU BINTANVDAMPTI MOSUKHNA.

TERET MEH PRATT FER TUMEH TUM MOH MATT KO MATT FER MANA”.

{30}.

Bhavi = future event. Bhav = padarth=goods. Anbhav=anhona=nothing happening. Nabh =akas=sky. Supna=phul=flower. Madh ke bhog = goods of the present time. Madya = in. Gatt = destruction. Raag Ann = attachment to goods. Dampti = Atam. Teret = is saying. Matt = sikhya=teachings. Fer=again.

The padarth{goods} of the future are equal to nothing , do not attach to them. Concentrate on vartmaan{present time} but lose the raag-davesh{attachment/duality}. Do not focus on bhoot-bhavikat{past and future}. Heh Mann{oh mind}! You are nipunsk{genderless} just as Brahm{Waheguru} is nipunsk{genderless} , without whom you cannot attain sukh{happiness} in maya{mammon}. I repeat heh mann{mind}! Do not reject my sikhya{teaching} i.e. do not do inkaar{dosobey} of my sikhya{teaching}.

{30}.

Khulasa{further explanation}. “MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HAIH” and “KAHO KABIR EH RAM KI ANS”. Mann{mind} is Brahm{Waheguru} roop{form}. Brahm{Waheguru} is without istri-purkh bhav{i.e. genderless} , in the same way mann{mind} is kewal{only} “prakash roop” {intangible} and genderless and that is why it is called nipuns. Heh mann{oh mind}! Do not do the aas{hope} of future sukh{happiness} and do not do the chinta{worry} of the past because the sapp{snake} has passed leaving only a trail on the ground {i.e. gone away} so fretting about it is futile , why the chinta{worries}?

“CHINTA TA KI KEEJYA JOH ANHONI HOY” {just remember death}. Only the contemplation of death is yog{worthwhile} which is definite. What is the point of chinta{worries} of past events?

Secondly “bhavi de bhav” {future goods} should not be contemplated and considered as bhav but rather should be considered abhav{non-existent} in the three kal{era i.e. past , present , and future} just as flowers in the sky never happen. In the same way the goods that never were , how can they be now?

The event that will not occur , the aas{hope} of such is viarth{futile}. That is why stay prasan{content} in the present time “JOH KISH KAREH SOU BHALL MANN” {accept Waheguru’s will} because hat is where the sukh{happiness} lies.

{30}.

“CHITT RE TU VITT KE NAMITT DINN RAAT NITT,

SAVET PROH KE CHITT EHEE DUKH ATT RE.

TINN KI JOH MUDHTA SO UDHTA KALESOH KARR,

MATT MAAN KARE HATT TAH KO TAKHO MATT RE.

NIJJ CHINTA TAJJ SOVAH SVANTAR PRASAN HOVEH,

CHINTA MANN GUNN JOVEH DEH MEH MAHET RE.

TATEH ABHLAKHAT NA TEROH KIDOH SIDH HOYE,

SUDHA PAAN KARE TE NA KIDOH BIAADH HATT RE.”

{31}.

Chitt re=heh mann=oh mind. Vitt=wealth. Namitt=for. Savet=does seva. Proh ke=others. Att=abundant/huge. Mudhta=happiness/contentment. Udhta=comes into being. Kalosoh karr=the result of enduring torment=dukh. Matt=do not. Maan=hankaar=ego. Hatt=do the destruction of. Takoh=see. Soveh=sleeps. Svantar=in the mind. Chinta mann=Atma i.e. that which removes all sorrow. Gunn=veechar=point of view. Mahatt=very large. Abhilakht=desire. Sidh hoye=will be fulfilled. Soodha paan=the drinking of Amrit. Biaadh=ailment , torment.

1. Heh mann{oh mind}! , for the sake of wealth you engage t in the service others day and night. Which is a massive dukh{torment} because;

2. The happiness of these wealthy people can only be attained after much torment on your part , do not consider this praiseworthy but rather consider them naashkar{temporary} and as such do not look at them.

3. Go to sleep abandoning chinta{worries} and upon seeing Atam{Waheguru’s jyot} you will become prasan{happy} in your mann{mind}. Within the manukh sareer{human body} this is very special.

4. Will all your desires not be fulfilled by it? Will the drinking of Amrit not eradicate ailment?

Khulasa{further explanation}:- The updesh{teaching} is to oneself. The mind strays from place to place in order to obtain wealth. He wants to obtain it from the wealthy and kings/rulers etc. He spends all his time in the kidhmatt{licking upto} such people. In this pursuit of wealth he forgets whether it is day , night , sun , shadow , hunger , or thirst etc. What is the cause? By abandoning the sudh-budh{all senses} of the sareer{body} he attempts to please theses people by engaging in all sorts of services but the master still doesn’t become pleased. Even after enduring huge amounts of torment, an iota of contentment from them is miraculous. The person almost reaches death in the pursuit but alas does not achieve the prasantah{happiness} of the master. Bharthari Ji are saying that break the ego of these wealthy people by neglecting them totally.

Secondly how will the palna{rearing} take place of the sareer{body} and kutambh{family}? They say abandon the chinta{worries} of the sareer{body} too because as already stated that you alone will be the recipient of your phall{fruition} and no one else , so what’s the point of chinta{worry}. Become totally nischint{worry free} and engage in Waheguru Simran. Now with regards to the fulfilment of kamna{desires} , a very big misaal{example} is given;

Let alone the eradication of ailments the, drinking of Amrit will actually eradicate death so will all the kamna{desires} of the person engaged in Simran not be fulfilled? {rhetorical question}. It is with utmost certainty that all desires will be fulfilled , Prabhu{Waheguru says}:

“AAP SVAREH MEH MILLEH MEH MILLIAH SUKH HOYE. JE TU MERA HOYE REHAH SABH JAGG TERA HOYE”.

{By becoming mine, all will be yours}.

{31}.

“DOHRA”

TANN KO TANAK NIVAS TAV CHINTAMANN TAJJ TAHE.

BAHAUR KRIPAN GREH PRABHAV SEHAT DREVEY HITT KAHEY.

{32}.

Tanak=short term. Kripan=miser. Greh=house. Prabhav=dishonour. Dravey hitt=for wealth.

Heh mann{oh mind}! Your nivaas{residence} in this sareer{body} is only for a very short term , you have abandoned atam veechar{nectar of simran}. Why do you allow yourself to be insulted/dishonoured by wealthy misers for the sake of wealth?

Khulasa{further explanation}. Firstly your residence in the body is only for a very short time. The situation should have been that the janam{life} should have been won but the moorakh mann{foolish} mind has abandoned that and instead went around knocking on the doors of the wealthy and doing their kidhmatt{licking upto} in the hope of pleasing them in return for wealth. The wealthy misers are akin to an ocean but they do not ever share even a drop of this ocean, thus resulting in the be-izatti{insult} of the person seeking it and giving rise to much torment.
