English Translation :

DHANAASAREE, CHHANT, FIRST MEHL:

Your Husband Lord is with you, O deluded soul-bride, but you do are not aware of Him. Your destiny is written on your forehead, according to your past actions. This inscription of past deeds cannot be erased; what do I know about what will happen? You have not adopted a virtuous lifestyle, and you are not attuned to the Lords Love; you sit there, crying over your past misdeeds.Wealth and youth are like the shade of the bitter swallow-wort plant; you are growing old, and your days are coming to their end. O Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you shall end up as a discarded, divorced bride; your own falsehood shall separate you from the Lord. || 1 || You have drowned, and your house is ruined; walk in the Way of the Gurus Will. Meditate on the True Name, and you shall find peace in the Mansion of the Lords Presence. Meditate on the Lords Name, and you shall find peace; your stay in this world shall last only four days. Sit in the home of your own being, and you shall find Truth; night and day, be with your Beloved. Without loving devotion, you cannot dwell in your own home listen, everyone! O Nanak, she is happy, and she obtains her Husband Lord, if she is attuned to the True Name. || 2 || If the soul-bride is pleasing to her Husband Lord, then the Husband Lord will love His bride. Imbued with the love of her Beloved, she contemplates the Word of the Gurus Shabad. She contemplates the Gurus Shabads, and her Husband Lord loves her; in deep humility, she worships Him in loving devotion. She burns away her emotional attachment to Maya, and in love, she loves her Beloved. She is imbued and drenched with the Love of the True Lord; she has become beautiful, by conquering her mind. O Nanak, the happy soul-bride abides in Truth; she loves to love her Husband Lord. || 3 || The soul-bride looks so beautiful in the home of her Husband Lord, if she is pleasing to Him. It is of no use at all to speak false words. If she speaks false, it is of no use to her, and she does not see her Husband Lord with her eyes. Worthless, forgotten and abandoned by her Husband Lord, she passes her life-night without her Lord and Master. Such a wife does not believe in the Word of the Gurus Shabad; she is caught in the net of the world, and does not obtain the Mansion of the Lords Presence. O Nanak, if she understands her own self, then, as Gurmukh, she merges in celestial peace. || 4 || Blessed is that soul-bride, who knows her Husband Lord. Without the Naam, she is false, and her actions are false as well. Devotional worship of the Lord is beautiful; the True Lord loves it. So immerse yourself in loving devotional worship of God. My Husband Lord is playful and innocent; imbued with His Love, I enjoy Him. She blossoms forth through the Word of the Gurus Shabad; she ravishes her Husband Lord, and obtains the most noble reward. O Nanak, in Truth, she obtains glory; in her Husbands home, the soul-bride looks beautiful. || 5 || 3 ||

English Translation :

SHALOK, THIRD MEHL:

Service to the True Guru is fruitful and rewarding, if one performs it with his mind focused on it. The fruits of the minds desires are obtained, and egotism departs from within. His bonds are broken, and he is liberated; he remains absorbed in the True Lord. It is so difficult to obtain the Naam in this world; it comes to dwell in the mind of the Gurmukh. O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to one who serves his True Guru. || 1 || THIRD MEHL: The mind of the self-willed manmukh is so very stubborn; it is stuck in the love of duality. He does not find peace, even in dreams; he passes his life in misery and suffering. The Pandits have grown weary of going door to door, reading and reciting their scriptures; the Siddhas have gone into their trances of Samaadhi. This mind cannot be controlled; they are tired of performing religious rituals. The impersonators have grown weary of wearing false costumes, and bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines. They do not know the state of their own minds; they are deluded by doubt and egotism. By Gurus Grace, the Fear of God is obtained; by great good fortune, the Lord comes to abide in the mind. When the Fear of God comes, the mind is restrained, and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is burnt away. Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate; their light merges in the Light. Meeting the True Guru, one obtains the Name; O Nanak, he is absorbed in peace. || 2 || PAUREE: The pleasures of kings and emperors are pleasing, but they last for only a few days. These pleasures of Maya are like the color of the safflower, which wears off in a moment. They do not go with him when he departs; instead, he carries the load of sins upon his head. When death seizes him, and marches him away, then he looks absolutely hideous. That lost opportunity will not come into his hands again, and in the end, he regrets and repents. || 6 ||

In today’s hukam the Guru is speaking to us really simply about the benefit and promise of a single minded life. A mind, that is really focused on the experience of the divine and not too concerned with other things.

The Guru says, “With the tongue and voice talk about the Naam, about the divine identity. With the ears listen to the Shabad“, which brings the experience of Amrit, or the experience of your own deathlessness. The Guru says, “He is forever a sacrifice for those who meditate on the Transcendent One.” That notion of being a sacrifice for: what does it mean? The Guru is there to do everything in his power to help those who are truly trying to experience the divine in the state of meditation.

Then the Guru says, “all the other works that we do, don’t come to anything.” Most of what we do in our life has a very temporary outcome. We can earn money for today or money for the month. We have families, even though those families are with us our whole lives, but when we leave our body they are not with us in the experience of death. All these things that we pursue in life, do not lead to experience of truth.

When we are focusing on the identity of divinity and the truth of divinity and ourselves in the whole creation: that is the work that really means something. Guru Nanak says that the people who are in space of love and can experience truth through that love are really blessed. It’s not love for someone or love for something. It’s just the love that genuinely lives inside us. When we can be with that love and be with the truth of the divine in everything then that is a tremendous blessing.

Again the Guru is saying to those who listen to this story of this divine essence inside of everything, for people who spend their time in that way the Guru is a sacrifice to those people. So again, that notion of sacrifice, that Guru will do everything in his power to help those who really are here to listen to the story of the divine.

Those who bow their heads before the Transcendent One: the Guru says, those people are perfect and are very noble and honorable people. Those people who write about the divine essence, their hands are tremendously beautiful. So the Guru is describing what a beautiful life is: like the hands are beautiful that write about the divine essence, the people who bow to the Transcendent One are perfect and noble. So he is just giving us a vision of what the human life can be, when we are allowing ourselves to be focused on the reality of the divine inside of ourselves and inside of everything around us.

So the feet that walk this path of the divine are also very Pavitar, are also very pure. The Guru ends by saying that those who are in the company of people like this find liberation. They find liberation from pull of time and space from the play of the Maya and all of their pain, all of their sorrows, all of their sufferings just depart, just leave, just go away.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

sorat(h) mehalaa 5 ||

Sorat’h, Fifth Mehla:

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

Today’s hukam is a really beautiful description of how the consciousness of the human being becomes awakened, and is a place of total surrender. And in Gurbani what the Guru will clarify is that when we come into a place of grace and we come to the experience of the Naam, it is because the Divine is smiling on us. It is not something that we can grab ourselves. It is not something that we can manipulate or control. But when the awakening happens, it is a miraculous experience where we start to feel the kindness of the Divine so present in our lives that everything is completed and taken care of for us. This is the state of consciousness that Guru Arjan is describing for us in this hukam.

sathigur poorae bhaanaa ||

When it was pleasing to the Perfect True Guru,

thaa japiaa naam ramaanaa ||

then I chanted the Naam, the Name of the Pervading Lord.

The hukam begins that when it pleases, or when it is within the will or the plans of the Perfect Teacher of Truth, then we Jap. Then we are in a continual meditative speaking and remembering of the Identity of the Divine. And when the Creator is kind and is showing kindness to us, then that Transcendent One brings protection and honor into our lives. So it is a reciprocal communication between the individual and the transcendental consciousness of the Divine that we call God. And it is through the Guru, the Perfect Guru, that we actually begin to relate, meditatively repeat, the Naam or the Name of God. What that means is to be in a remembrance always of the fact that the Universe is an expression of the identity of the Divine. Through the Guru we come into that place in continual remembrance or continual repetition of seeing that Divine identity. And then when that Universe that we are seeing, that Universal Creator that we are perceiving and repeating, when that energy then responds with kindness toward us, it is because the Guru has taken us to that place. Then all of a sudden that energy comes into our lives and protects us completely and covers us. So it is a very subtle relationship that the Guru gives us between inability to remember the Creator and for the Creator to kindly come into our lives, and have a tremendously positive effect on our lives.

har kae charan sadhaa sukhadhaaee ||

the Lord’s feet are forever peace-giving

Charan is feet. Har is the Divine Essence within the Creation, that surrounds the Creation. And in other explanations I have talked about how Charan, the feet, is also the connection to the subtle body. So when we are in the experience of the feet of God or we are relating to the subtlety of the Divine Essence, that is an energy that gives us peace always. The guru is directing our mind about how to live life and how to complete our affairs keeping our minds focused on the feet of God. Keeping our mind focused on the subtlety of divinity– that is what brings peace into our lives.

jo eishhehi soee fal paavehi birathhee aas n jaaee ||1|| rehaao ||

Whatever fruit one desires, he receives; his hopes shall not go in vain. ||1||Pause||

He takes it further and he says: Everything that you have a longing for when you are in the space of relating to the subtelty of the Divine, then all of the fruits that you need and that will satisfy the longing that you have, will come to you, and there there is no pain and no hope that will go unanswered by the Creator. So all of your anxiety is answered and all of your hopes will b answered by the Creator. There is nothing that isn’t taken care of. We have a habit in our daily lives, to hustle and to hassle, that we need to be the doer that we have to take care of things. But what Guru is describing is this beautiful relationship; that the Guru can guide us to where all we have to do is repeat meditatively the Naam and then that creative energy of the universe comes in and takes care of everything for us.

kirapaa karae jis praanapath dhaathaa soee sa(n)th gun gaavai ||

That Saint, unto whom the Lord of Life, the Great Giver, extends His Mercy - he alone sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

He goes on talking about this state of consciousness. It always comes back to this experience of kindness when we start to feel the presence of the Divine in our lives. It is tremendously compassionate and kind and loving. It is never a vengeful energy. It is never a judging energy. It is simply a pure kindness.

praem bhagath thaa kaa man leenaa paarabreham man bhaavai ||2||

His soul is absorbed in loving devotional worship; his mind is pleasing to the Supreme Lord God. ||2||

And in the next line, Guru Arjan says that when kindness of the Divine, the one who gives to us and the One who gives us the breath of life, when that kindness that comes into our lives, then those are the people, through the kindness, who are the sants, the role models; and they sing about the virtues of God. It is a powerful statement, because a lot of people will imitate religious feelings or spiritual awareness and understanding in order to get attention or fulfill some ego needs that they have. But the real state of the sant is the state of the person who is receiving the kindness from the Divine. So it is never what you and your ego can project and create for yourself. It is only the awareness that the kindness of the Creator brings into your life. From that kindness there is a true soul singing that can talk about the virtues and the beauty of what that Divine power is and how it can take care of us. He is talking more about this and how that kindness leads to the state of this very beautiful and subtle love.

The mind becomes really merged into the experience of the love, that as we begin to develop this conscious relationship with the Creator. You know love can never be this thing you can command yourself to do. Love has to come from a place that is the deepest part in side of you has nothing to do with what your mind thinks or your mind wants or tells you should or you shouldn’t. So Gurun Arjan is saying we have to have this subtle relationshp with the Creator. That Love can grow, and that is what brings us to that place of being bhagat, we become a devotee. So the mind becomes compeltely absorbed in this love and devotion. The mind that becomes compeltely absorbed, that mind becomes very pleasing to the Creator. All the human incarnations– there is a purpose. The purpose is to bring us to that experience of Divine Love or Transcendent Love. And that is something that the Guru is a sacrifice for, that the Creator really enjoys. So the mind that is in that state of devotion becomes very pleasing to God. Then our own mind, it is not just a moment in time when we feel the love and we fee the connetion. It then becomes something we experience throughout the day,

aat(h) pehar har kaa jas ravanaa bikhai t(h)agouree laathhee ||

Twenty-four hours a day, he chants the Praises of the Lord, and the bitter poison does not affect him.

So throughout all the hours of the day we are talking about the Divine, and appreciating the Divine, and praising the Divine. The mind doesn’t get caught in being negative about what is happening in its day to day life. It sees everything as the work of the One, as the reality of the One. as the Will of the One. So the only thing to speak about whenthe mind is immersed in that love about it the gratitude of hwo wonderful this Divine play is and this Divine energy is.

sa(n)g milaae leeaa maerai karathai sa(n)th saadhh bheae saathhee ||3||

My Creator Lord has united me with Himself, and the Holy Saints have become my companions. ||3||

Then thagouree laathee, thagouree is an herb that makes you an <banned word filter activated> essentialy. Your senses no longer work properly. The five poisons in Gurbani are related to the notion of the herb that makes us senseless. Inside of us we have these poisons that make us incapable of perceiving reality. But in every moment we are speaking of then the effect of those poisons starts to dissipate and go away. And then through the power of the Divine, through the power of the Divine, the Doer, Kartar the Doer, we come to meet other people who are also having this experience. So it isn’t just that we alone, if we are blessed, can come into this consciousness; but through the hand of God, we get to be in the company of other people who also have this consciousness. These people become our social reality as well. Even our social reality starts to change.

kar gehi leenae sarabas dheenae aapehi aap milaaeiaa ||

Taking me by the hand, He has given me everything, and blended me with Himself.

kahu naanak sarab thhok pooran pooraa sathigur paaeiaa ||4||15||79||

Says Nanak, everything has been perfectly resolved; I have found the Perfect True Guru. ||4||15||79||

And in the last line it is really beautiful and so hopeful–what Guru Arjan talks about is: The Creator takes me by the hand and everything is given to me and I intermix my being with that Divinity. Rather than have a sense of fear or lack, all of a sudden we exchange our energy with Divine energy. Everything is a gift. We experience life as a total gift. And in that experience, Guru is going to say: Then all of my affairs, all of my karmas and all the work I have to do in this lifetime come into this perfect completion, become perfectly completed, and this is domething that the Sat Guru,, the Perfect Guru helps us to experience and realize. So we can live our lives hustling and hastling or we can work with the energy of the Guru and allow the Guru to open us up tpexperience of the Divine in a very subtle way. Allow the love inside of us to grow because of that experience. And then see that by the Hand of God, all of our affairs are arranged for us, and get completed. Living in the of God and Guru, and this is also a possibility. This reality counts as the most beaurtiful experience of awakening consciousness that we can have as a human. And when this experience, comes it is not because we demanded it or our intellect has But because we have earned it. It is a kindness that is bestowed on us by the Creator.

The Creator Lord is our only friend.

O man, why are you so proud? This body is only temporary - it shall pass away. ||1||Pause||

The Kaurvas, who had brothers like Duryodhan, used to proclaim, ""This is ours! This is ours!""

Their royal procession extended over sixty miles, and yet their bodies were eaten by vultures. ||2||

Sri Lanka was totally rich with gold; was anyone greater than its ruler Raavan?

What happened to the elephants, tethered at his gate? In an instant, it all belonged to someone else. ||3||

The Lord has shown mercy to His humble servant, and now Naam Dayv sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||1||
