Simran Pen Jee,

all the Gurbani Shabads presented by you above, are simply fantastic.

True universal religion is the essence in them.

Sat Sree Akal.

[simran345]

Thank you Ji Harsharan paji. Whenever my profile status changes, I try to post Gurbani or a shabad relating to it. (If I can remember lol) Thus there are shabads that may not follow the topics, as those are for previous status'.

Bani: Raag Sorath, Sree Guru Amar Das Maharaj.

ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰਾ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਹਾ

Naanak Raam Naam Nisathaaraa Sabadh Rathae Har Paahaa

नानक राम नामि निसतारा सबदि रते हरि पाहा

O Nanak, through the Lord's Name, one is emancipated; attuned to the Shabad, he finds the Lord.

In this line above, Dhan Dhan Satguru Amar Das Maharaj, is telling us, if you want to get freed from the cycle of births and deaths, and meet the Lord, just get attuned to the Shabad.

Now we may ask, how to get attuned to the Shabad within?

The answer is, Naam Simran.

Our Guru Sahibans, in each ang of the Bani, have blessed us with their Daya Meher, by constantly reminding us, that if one is a sikh and wants to get reunited with Him, there is only one way, and that is of Shabad Guru, of Naam, through its Simran alone.

WHAT IS NAAM AND HOW TO MERGE IN NAAM?

ਨਾਮੈ ਤੇ ਸਭਿ ਊਪਜੇ ਭਾਈ ਨਾਇ ਵਿਸਰਿਐ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇ

Naamai Thae Sabh Oopajae Bhaaee Naae Visariai Mar Jaae

नामै ते सभि ऊपजे भाई नाइ विसरिऐ मरि जाइ

From the Naam, everyone originated, O Siblings of Destiny; forgetting the Naam, they die away.

ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਚਾ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਨਾਮੇ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਏ

Har Kaa Naam Sachaa Man Vasiaa Naamae Naam Samaaeae

हरि का नामु सचा मनि वसिआ नामे नामि समाए

The True Name of the Lord comes to abide in the mind, and through the Name, one merges in the Name.

Raag Sorath Guru Amar Das

In the first line above, Dhan Dhan Satguru Amar Das Maharaj, tells us, that Wahiguru, Naam or Shabad is the same thing, and that everything was created by this Naam.

All the Khands, the Brahmands, the material or subtle universes upon universes, gods, devis, devtas, all species of life forms ...absolutely everything was created by Naam alone.

Then is the second line, He is telling us, that this Naam, is achieved only, by meditating upon it, and then it is this very Naam, which makes us merge in it.

So wonderful, so beautiful no?

Through Naam, we merge in Naam, and become one with Naam.

After going through these words full of wisdom of our Guru Sahib Sree Guru Amar Das Maharaj, one feels, that pitifully, the whole world is blind and ignorant, by getting entangled in manmat, through so many other diversified activities, rituals, etc....

The Bani of our Guru Sahibans, is very clear, in terms of what is True Bhakti, it is we manmukhs, who turn our faces, and do not want even to hear such truths...

Everything depends on us, if we follow Gurmat as it is in essence, we shall become one with Wahiguru.

If not, we shall wander in the cycle of births and deaths...Then too, we think we are wise, and we proudly say, we are His devotees ....
