Teeka Prof. Sahib Singh

ਬਲੁ = (ਆਤਮਕ) ਤਾਕਤ। ਬੰਧਨ = (ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਮੋਹ ਦੀਆਂ) ਫਾਹੀਆਂ। ਪਰੇ = ਪੈ ਗਏ, ਪੈ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਉਪਾਇ = ਹੀਲਾ। ਅਬ = ਹੁਣ, ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ। ਓਟ = ਆਸਰਾ। ਹਰਿ = ਹੇ ਹਰੀ! ਸਹਾਇ = ਸਹਾਈ, ਮਦਦਗਾਰ।੫੩।

ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! (ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਤੋਂ ਵਿੱਛੁੜ ਕੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਮੋਹ ਦੀਆਂ) ਫਾਹੀਆਂ (ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ) ਆ ਪੈਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ (ਉਹਨਾਂ ਫਾਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੱਟਣ ਲਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰੋਂ ਆਤਮਕ) ਤਾਕਤ ਮੁੱਕ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ (ਮਾਇਆ ਦਾ ਟਾਕਰਾ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਪਾਸੋਂ) ਕੋਈ ਭੀ ਹੀਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਆਖ-ਹੇ ਹਰੀ! ਇਹੋ ਜਿਹੇ ਵੇਲੇ (ਹੁਣ) ਤੇਰਾ ਹੀ ਆਸਰਾ ਹੈ। ਜਿਵੇਂ ਤੂੰ (ਤੇਂਦੂਏ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਣ ਲਈ) ਹਾਥੀ ਦਾ ਸਹਾਈ ਬਣਿਆ, ਤਿਵੇਂ ਸਹਾਈ ਬਣ। (ਭਾਵ, ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਮੋਹ ਦੇ ਬੰਧਨਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਖ਼ਲਾਸੀ ਹਾਸਲ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੇ ਦਰ ਤੇ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਹੀ ਇਕੋ ਇਕ ਵਸੀਲਾ ਹੈ)।੫੩।

wjkk wjkf,

With Guru's grace.

I believe this is in Vaaran bhai gurdas ji.

The story goes like this.

There were once 2 sadhu's. They we very pious sadhus who used to do a lot of bhagti. One day, both sadhu's got into a disagreement and that boiled down into a argument. During the heated argument, one of the sadhu cursed," you will be a crocodile in your next life". Hearing this, the other sadhu said," you will be an elephant in your next life". Then time passed.

After time, both passsed away. The first sadhu became a crocodile and the second became an elephant. Both lived in the same forest and the croc live in the pond which had some lotus flowers.

One day, the elephant came to the pond to drink water. Naturally, the crocodile decided to grab the elephant. It bit the leg of the elephant and started pulling the elephant into the pond. The elephand resisted but the croc was too strong. As he was being pulled into the pond, the elephant caught a glimse of a lotus flower. Lotus flower represents visnu in hinduism. He then remembered his bhagti in his privious life. He then did an ardas," oh visnu/God, save me". Out of all this, Visnu/God appeared and tore the jaws of the crocodile open and saved the elephant. After that, both croc and elephant became one with God, liberating them from their current state.

So, from here, this is where the story of the elephant came about.

Wjkk wjkf,

This is by God's grace. He infused His knowledge for the sanggat.

---Hum kia, hum karangey, hum moorakh gavaar.-----

the elephant is top as in no predator hunts the elephant, as per science. gaj jio hoho sahaae means >> sahai: keeps safe; gaj jio hoho: just like the elephant

so, gaj jio hoho sahaae means god will keep u safe just like the elephant is safe (i.e. come under the sharan >shelter< of god, then you will be kept so save, that no predetor(i.e. maya) will prey on u).

:/ i duno bout all these other postts tbh..

but suppose theres nuffin wrong with em..

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
