Please Translate This One Line From Teeka


Recommended Posts

Was reading the arth of a tuk in Prof Sahib Singh teeka, can someone please kindly translate the arth of one line? I want to understand it clearly. I would really appreciate it.

The gurbani tuk is:

ਜਿਨਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਤਿਨ ਪੂਛਉ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਪਤੀਆਇ ॥ ਸੇ ਧਨਵੰਤ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥ ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਇ ॥੧॥

and the arth given by Prof Sahib Singh Ji is:

ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਨੁੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਉਤੇ ਤੁਰ ਕੇ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਸਿਮਰਿਆ ਹੈ (ਜਦੋਂ) ਮੈਂ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਪਾਸੋਂ (ਸਿਮਰਨ ਦੀ ਜਾਚ) ਪੁੱਛਦਾ ਹਾਂ (ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਦੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ) ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਦੱਸੀ ਹੋਈ ਸੇਵਾ ਨਾਲ (ਹੀ) ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਮਨ (ਪ੍ਰਭੂ-ਸਿਮਰਨ ਵਿਚ) ਪਤੀਜਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਸਰਨ ਪੈਣ ਵਾਲੇ) ਉਹ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ-ਧਨ ਖੱਟ ਕੇ ਧਨਾਢ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਅਕਲ ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਹੀ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਹੈ।੧।

Also if possible can someone also please translate the freedkot teeka arth:

ਜਿਨ ਗੁਰਮੁਖੋਂ ਨੇ ਹਰੀ ਨਾਮ ਕੋ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਹੈ ਤਿਨ ਸੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ੍ਵਰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤੀ ਕਾ ਯਤਨ ਜਾਕਰ ਪੂਛੋ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਗੁਰੋਂ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਸੇ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਮਨ ਪਤੀ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ॥

ਜੋ ਪੁਰਸ ਹਰੀ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੋ ਧਿਆਵਤੇ ਹੈਂ ਪੁਨਾ ਗੁਰੋਂ ਦ੍ਵਾਰਾ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਵਤੇ ਹੈਂ ਸੋ ਆਤਮ ਧਨ ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਹੈਂ॥੧॥

Thanks in advance.

Gurfateh Veerji,

Without adding or taking away anything, here is an attempt at translating the lines jeo:

Those human beings who have done simran of Parmatma's name by walking on the path of the Guru, (when) I ask them (the method of doing Simran), (they tell that) it is (only) with the Seva assigned by the Guru that the mind develops faith (in Prabhu-Simran). (Those people who come under the sanctuary of the Guru), they earn the wealth of Naam and thereby become wealthy. This knowledge is received only from the complete Guru.

Freedkot Teeka's translation attempt:

Those Gurmukhs that have meditated on Hari's name, go and ask them the method of attaining Parmeshwar, because their minds have agreed by serving Guruji.

Those persons who meditate on Hari's name, they then receive the knowledge from Guruji, and are possessors of wealth of the Self.

Please correct if wrong :)

Thanks Veerji, that was just awwesome :happy:

:waheguru:

Gurfateh Phenji,

Bhai Kahn Singh Ji Nabha give the meaning as 'Vishvaas', and 'Mannana' and faith was the closest word, although 'to agree' is also acceptable? :) The word Patheyona is often used to represent the act of gentle persuasion, like when naughty/unruly children do not listen to their parents and they cajole the child into agreeing to their advice :) Perhaps that is why this word is commonly used for the mind :p

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
