Hukam meaning

[Guest Confused]

Waheguru

I'm looking to loose weight and looking at diets or food plans. I asked Waheguru for advice first as it seems I need to eat more to gain muscle and more importantly lose weight. I was blessed with the Hukam below

 

ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

 

ਬਿਖਈ ਦਿਨੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਇਵ ਹੀ ਗੁਦਾਰੈ ॥

The corrupt person passes his days and nights uselessly.

 

ਗੋਬਿੰਦੁ ਨ ਭਜੈ ਅਹੰਬੁਧਿ ਮਾਤਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਜੂਐ ਜਿਉ ਹਾਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

He does not vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the Universe; he is intoxicated with egotistical intellect. He loses his life in the gamble. ||1||Pause||

 

ਨਾਮੁ ਅਮੋਲਾ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਨ ਤਿਸ ਸਿਉ ਪਰ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਹਿਤਕਾਰੈ ॥

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is priceless, but he is not in love with it. He loves only to slander others.

 

ਛਾਪਰੁ ਬਾਂਧਿ ਸਵਾਰੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਣ ਕੋ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਪਾਵਕੁ ਜਾਰੈ ॥੧॥

Weaving the grass, he builds his house of straw. At the door, he builds a fire. ||1||

 

ਕਾਲਰ ਪੋਟ ਉਠਾਵੈ ਮੂੰਡਹਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਡਾਰੈ ॥

He carries a load of sulfur on his head, and drives the Ambrosial Nectar out of his mind.

 

ਓਢੈ ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਕਾਜਰ ਮਹਿ ਪਰਿਆ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਝਾਰੈ ॥੨॥

Wearing his good clothes, the mortal falls into the coal-pit; again and again, he tries to shake it off. ||2||

 

ਕਾਟੈ ਪੇਡੁ ਡਾਲ ਪਰਿ ਠਾਢੌ ਖਾਇ ਖਾਇ ਮੁਸਕਾਰੈ ॥

Standing on the branch, eating and eating and smiling, he cuts down the tree.

 

ਗਿਰਿਓ ਜਾਇ ਰਸਾਤਲਿ ਪਰਿਓ ਛਿਟੀ ਛਿਟੀ ਸਿਰ ਭਾਰੈ ॥੩॥

He falls down head-first and is shattered into bits and pieces. ||3||

 

ਨਿਰਵੈਰੈ ਸੰਗਿ ਵੈਰੁ ਰਚਾਏ ਪਹੁਚਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਗਵਾਰੈ ॥

He bears vengeance against the Lord who is free of vengeance. The fool is not up to the task.

 

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤਨ ਕਾ ਰਾਖਾ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੈ ॥੪॥੧੦॥

Says Nanak, the Saving Grace of the Saints is the Formless, Supreme Lord God. ||4||10||

 

Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Saarang - 1205

 

What is Guruji telling me. Is Guruji saying that I'm eating too much or not to eat too much?

Hi

I think Guru ji is telling you are focusing on the wrong thing in life.

 

 

 

[Singh375]

Sometimes religious people make their life way too complex

Find a personal trainer, tell them your goals and they’ll design you a bespoke fitness/diet plan  

[Redoptics]

Its absurd,  you need to eat more to gain muscle? Who told you that? 

If you are over weight,  you need to create a calorie deficit.

The reason why muscle is important to weight loss, is because muscle burns more calories than fat , so the more muscle you have the more calories you burn even when you are sitting down.

Good start with guru ji"s blessings?

we understand that its not easy but do workout to achieve it. don't stop no matter what. until unless you achieve it.

(you will get body ache, low energy, starving for food etc for first week or two. just overcome this issue and don't stop. your body will get use to it after few weeks. keep up bro!
