TODEE, FIFTH MEHL:

Without understanding, his coming into the world is useless. He puts on various ornaments and many decorations, but it is like dressing a corpse. || Pause || With great effort and exertion, the miser works to gather in the riches of Maya. He does not give anything in charity or generosity, and he does not serve the Saints; his wealth does not do him any good at all. || 1 || The soul-bride puts on her ornaments, embellishes her bed, and fashions decorations. But if she does not obtain the company of her Husband Lord, the sight of these decorations only brings her pain. || 2 || The man works all day long, threshing the husks with the pestle. He is depressed, like a forced laborer, and so he is of no use to his own home. || 3 || But when God shows His Mercy and Grace, He implants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within the heart. Search the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Nanak, and find the sublime essence of the Lord. || 4 || 2 || 4 ||

[Ik-Oun-Kaar]

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

Translation by Nihang Sukha Singh Akali

Today’s Hukamnama is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, in the raag todee on Ang 712 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. Guru Arjan Dev Ji with this Hukamnama has blessed us. The todee raag is a very famous raag. The feeling that todee conveys is one which gives birth to wisdom within the soul of the human being. The todee raag, humbly, points out to the human being what the human being is unaware of. It will bring things, which we rarely think about but are important into our focus.

Maanukh bin boojhay birthaa aa-i-aa.

Maanukh means the human being, bin means without, boojhay means understanding/realization/enlightenment, birthaa means worthless/useless, and aa-i-aa means the coming onto the earth. Guru Arjan Dev Ji is saying the coming onto the earth of that human being who has not realized the realization of the soul is completely worthless and useless. Many people say where in Guru Granth Sahib does it say the aim of our lives is to meet God? Guru Arjan Dev Ji is answering that question. Guru Ji says there is no meaning if there is no realization. The realization of the Lord is hwta brings meaning to this life.

Anik saaj seegaar baho kartaa ji-o mirtak odhaa-i-o. Rahaa-o.

Anik means many various types of/various, saaj means ornaments, seegaar means decorations, baho means many, kartaa means to do. What the human being does is anik saaj: i.e., he puts on many different ornaments, adorns him/her self with physical beauty, physical wealth but not spiritual wealth. Guru Ji says all of these things, what are they like? Ji-o means they are as if, mirtak means a corpse and odhaa-i-o means to dress or cover. All of these things which we do, weather they are rituals, in which we don’t have any love or any connection, whether its physical adornment which we think will take us to God, Guru Ji is saying all that is as if a corpse is being dressed and is pointless without that realization.

Rahaa-o Guru Ji saying pause and think about this point.

Dhaa-ay Dhaa-ay kirpan saram keeno ikatar karee hai maa-i-aa.

Dhaa-ay Dhaa-ay means to put great effort into something, to completely exert oneself, kirpan means the miser, saram means to go through a lot of pain, a lot of hardship, keeno means to do. So with great effort, going through many hardships, what does the miser do? Guru Ji says the miser does only one thing; ikatar karee hai maa-i-aa. Ikatar means to gather; karee hai means to do and maa-i-aa means those things, which are transitory, which are not forever. What does the miser do? He/she puts all of their efforts; all their exertions go through all of the hardships to collect together those things, which are transitory, those things which aren’t even going to last. He/she forgets the treasure of the soul, which is within.

Daan punn nahee santan sayvaa kit hee kaaj na aa-i-aa. ||1||

Daan pun means charitable deeds, nahee means not to do, sayvaa means the selfless service, santan means the saints. That miser doesn’t take those transitory things they put together and give them to charity. That miser doesn’t even serve the saints. He does not serve the holy ones. Kit hee kaaj na aa-i-aa. Guru Ji says all that transitory wealth we have got together, that false wealth, kit hee kaaj na aa-i-aa where aa-i-aaa means to come or to produce; kaaj means any worth. Without doing charitable deeds or serving the saints, all that transitory wealth, is wasted says Guru Ji.

Kar aabhran savaaree sayjaa kaaman thaat banaa-i-aa.

Aabhran means decorations. The soul bride puts on these decorations. The soul bride thinks she can buy God. But she can’t. Sayjaa means the bed of the soul bride, savaaree means to embellish, to decorate that bed. Kaaman thaat banaa-i-aa means puts on all decorations. But all these decorations they are the decorations of ego, desire, attachment, greed, anger. The soul bride does not wear the true decorations of love, humility, grace, and dignity.

Sang na paa-i-o apunay bhartay paykh paykh dukh paa-i-aa. ||2||

Sang, means the union, the company. The soul bride does not find the company of apunay bhartay of her husband Lord. Her husband Lord is not impressed by these decorations of duality. Then what happens? Paykh paykh dukh paa-i-aa. the soul bride looks at these transitory goods she has collected, looks at these so-called decorations of maa-i-aa of falsehood, and the soul bride has pain in her heart.

Saaro dinas majooree kartaa tuhu mooslahi chharaa-i-aa.

Saaro means all and dinas means day. All day the human being majooree kartaa where majooree means works and kartaa means to work. All day long the human being works but what is this work like? Guru Ji says tuhu mooslahi chharaa-i-aa. In India, what they do is grind down, in a mill, the harvest, to get out the daaneh, the seeds from which the flour can be made. Guru Ji says the work that the man does, what is it like? Mooslahi means the pesal, chharaa-i-aa means to thresh, to turn around and tuhu means husks. The work that the human being is oing is like taking the empty husks and trying to get the seeds out of that but that can’t ever happen. Husks cannot ever produce that, as husks are the leftovers. The man is leaving behind what is truly nourishing and picking up these husks, these leftovers.

Khayd bha-i-o baygaaree ni-aa-ee ghar kai kaam na aa-i-aa. ||3||

Bha-i-o means to be become and khayd means depressed. The man becomes depressed. Baygaaree means slave and ni-aa-ee means like. The man becomes depressed like a slave. Ghar means the home of the soul. Kaam na aa-i-aa means to be of no use to. The man works all day without remembering God, without having love inside his heart. Guru ji says that work, does not come to any fruit to his true house, which is the soul within him.

Bha-i-o anoograhu jaa ka-o parabh ko tis hirdai naam vasaa-i-aa.

jaa ka-o means upon whom, bha-i-o anoograhu means mercy has shone upon, parabh ko means of the Lord. Upon whom the Lords mercy, has been shown, the Lords grace has been showered. What happens to that person? In their hirdai (heart), naam (the name of the Lord) vasaa-i-aa (to implant), the name of the Lord is implanted into their heart and soul. Hey are no longer grinding down the husks. They find the true nourishing food of the soul.

SaaDhsangat kai paachhai pari-a-o jan naanak har ras paa-i-aa. ||4||2||4||

Paachhai means to find, pari-a-o means to follow. Guru Ji is saying in order to find the har ras the essence of the Lord, Hari, God, to paa that (paa-i-aa means to find), what do you have to do? Guru Ji is saying to find the sublime essence of the Lord; you must continually follow and serve the SaaDhsangat, the congregation of the holy, the company of the holy. You want to find peace, you want to get out of this rat race,

Guru Ji says follow the SaaDhsangat. In the SaaDhsangat you will find the essence of the Lord. May Guru Ji bless us with the understanding, so our coming onto this earth, is not worthless/useless. May we pray on this day that God showers his mercy upon all of us and that we come to the realization that we have come onto this earth to realize the creator Lord is inside us. Maanukh bin boojhay birthaa aa-i-aa. Anik saaj seegaar baho kartaa ji-o mirtak odhaa-i-o. Rahaa-o.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

He is a perfect renunciate, naturally at ease, O Nanak, whose mind is pleased with the True Lord. ||8||1||

Guru Nanak Maharaj is talking to us in the Sorath Raag and whenever we read the Sorath Raag we must remember the words of Guru Ram Das ji on Ang 642 of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Guru ji says sorath taam suhaavanee jaa har naam dhandholay, the Sorath Raag is beautiful only when it leads the soul-bride to seek the Lord’s Name, to meditate upon God’s name. Following these instructions of Guru Ram Das ji, we now look into the shabad Guru Nanak Dev ji has written in the ghar pehala, the first house, Ashtpadeeaa, which means the shabad has 8 padea, 8 feet, the shabad has 8 parts.

ik oa(n)kaar sathigur prasaad, ik, there is one, oa(n)kar, creative, nourishing and destructive being, who is sath, who is true forever and who is found through gur prasaad, through the true Guru’s grace.

dhubidhhaa n parro har bin hor n poojo marrai masaan n jaaee, dhubidhhaa n parro, parro means to be torn apart, to fall into, dhubidhhaa means duality, dhubidhhaa means two types of mind, there are only two ways of living on this earth, you either live in ego or you live in Waheguru. Guru ji says now I am no longer in duality between these two things, I have chosen the path of Waheguru. I have given up my ego; har bin hor n poojo, without Waheguru, without Hari, hor means any other, poojo means to worship, I don’t worship any other, I am not a slave to ego anymore. I am only a slave to Waheguru; marrai masaan n jaaee, I do not visit marrai masaan, marrai masaan means tombs, I do not worship the dead, I do not worship any other.

thrisanaa raach n par ghar jaavaa thrisanaa naam bujhaaee, I do not indulge in thrisanaa, thrisanaa means desire, thrisanaa means coveting other people’s things, I do not have any desire for other people’s things, I am happy, I am fulfilled; n par ghar jaavaa, I do not enter the houses of strangers, I do not go to any other place to look for peace, to any other house, I found it within myself; thrisanaa, this desire, naam bujhaaee, the name of God, the name of Waheguru has put out this fire of desire inside me.

ghar bheethar ghar guroo dhikhaaeiaa sehaj rathae man bhaaee, within my heart, bheethar, means in my heart, ghar guroo dhikhaaeiaa, the Guru has shown me the true peace is within my heart, naam is within you; sehaj rathae man bhaaee, my mind, O brothers, my mind, is rathae is imbued in sehaj, in complete intuitive peace.

thoo aapae dhaanaa aapae beenaa thoo dhaevehi math saaee, O Waheguru ji you yourself are dhaanaa, you are all knowing, you are beenaa, you are all seeing, thoo dhaevehi, whatever you give, math saaee, that is all the intelligence I have, everything you give to me.

man bairaag ratho bairaagee sabadh man baedhhiaa maeree maaee, my mind has gone into bairaag, detachment, from this worldly falsehood; ratho bairaagee, completely imbued, completely rathea, completely indulged in detachment from the world; sabadh man baedhhiaa maeree maaee, why because the shabad, the word of the shabad, the word of the Guru’s mantar, man baedhhiaa, baedhhiaa means to pierce, pierce through my mind, o maeree maaee, o my mother.

a(n)thar joth nira(n)thar baanee saachae saahib sio liv laaee, anthar means inside me, inside me God’s light, God’s joth is shining continually, niranthar baanee, I am attached to the word of the shabad, which emanates from this joth; saachae saahib sio liv laaee, why because I am attached my liv, my love, to the True Lord. Rehaao, Guru ji says pause and think about this.

asa(n)kh bairaagee kehehi bairaag so bairaagee j khasamai bhaavai, Guru ji says many people, countless people, say that they are bairaagee, talk about bairaag, talk about detachment from the world, kehehi bairaag, but Guru ji say so bairaagee, only that person is truly detached from the world, j khasamai bhaavai, who is accepted by Waheguru, who follows Waheguru’s path.

hiradhai sabadh sadhaa bhai rachiaa gur kee kaar kamaavai, within his heart he has the shabad, he has the word, resonating all the time; sadhaa bhai rachiaa, he is absorbed into the fear of God, into the love of God; gur kee kaar kamaavai, gur kee, means Guru’s, kaar means work, he follows out the Guru’s work, he lives the Guru’s instructions to the T.

eaeko chaethai manooaa n ddolai dhhaavath varaj rehaavai, he meditates upon the One, eaeko, manooaa n ddolai, and if he does this what hapens, his mind never wavers, kadhe nahin doladha; dhhaavath varaj rehaavai, dhhaavath, wanderings of his mind, sensory organs and of desire and ego, what does he do, he restrains all these, varaj rehaavai, restrains the minds wanderings.

sehajae maathaa sadhaa ra(n)g raathaa saachae kae gun gaavai, he is intoxicated with sehajae, with intuitive peace, sadhaa ra(n)g raathaa, and is always colored in the color of God’s love; saachae kae gun gaavai, he sings the praises, the gun of the True Waheguru.

manooaa poun bi(n)dh sukhavaasee naam vasai sukh bhaaee, O brothers, o bhaie, manooaa poun, the mind is like wind, which is never still, the wind moves here, the wind moves there, it is never still, bi(n)dh sukhavaasee, but if even for a second this mind rests still, Guru ji says even for a second this mind comes to rest, naam vasai sukh bhaaee, you will be able to abide in peace forever in God’s name.

jihabaa naethr sothr sach raathae jal boojhee thujhehi bujhaaee, that person whose jihabaa, whose tongue, whose naethr, whose eyes, whose sothr, ears are continually colored in the Truth, the sach, jal boojhee, the fire of desire bujhaaee, will be put out, thujhehi bujhaaee, Waheguru himself will protect those people.

aas niraas rehai bairaagee nij ghar thaarree laaee, the only hope that person has is to remain free of hope, he is above hope, aas niraas rehai bairaagee, he is always detached from the world, nij ghar thaarree laaee, inside him, inside the house of himself, inside his soul, he is absorbed in this thaarree laaee, deep trance of meditation.

bhikhiaa naam rajae sa(n)thokhee a(n)mrith sehaj peeaaee, bhikhiaa what does he beg for, he begs for the name, the name of God, rajae sa(n)thokhee, and on this name he becomes sa(n)thokhee, satisfied, a(n)mrith sehaj peeaaee, he drinks the ambroisal nectar, the amrit, the immortal nectar of peace as he meditates upon the naam.

SORATH, FIFTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE, TI-TUKAS:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

Who should I ask? Who should I worship? All were created by Him. Whoever appears to be the greatest of the great, shall ultimately be mixed with the dust. The Fearless, Formless Lord, the Destroyer of Fear bestows all comforts, and the nine treasures. || 1 || O Dear Lord, Your gifts alone satisfy me. Why should I praise the poor helpless man? Why should I feel subservient to him? || Pause || All things come to one who meditates on the Lord; the Lord satisfies his hunger. The Lord, the Giver of peace, bestows such wealth, that it can never be exhausted. I am in ecstasy, absorbed in celestial peace; the True Guru has united me in His Union. || 2 || O mind, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord; worship the Naam, night and day, and recite the Naam. Listen to the Teachings of the Holy Saints, and all fear of death will be dispelled. Those blessed by Gods Grace are attached to the Word of the Gurus Bani. || 3 || Who can estimate Your worth, God? You are kind and compassionate to all beings. Everything which You do, prevails; I am just a poor child what can I do? Protect and preserve Your servant Nanak; be kind to him, like a father to his son. || 4 || 1 ||

BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL:

What am I? Just a poor living being. I cannot even describe one of Your hairs, O Lord. Even Brahma, Shiva, the Siddhas and the silent sages do not know Your State, O Infinite Lord and Master. || 1 || What can I say? I cannot say anything. Wherever I look, I see the Lord pervading. || 1 || Pause || And there, where the most terrible tortures are heard to be inflicted by the Messenger of Death, You are my only help and support, O my God. I have sought His Sanctuary, and grasped hold of the Lords Lotus Feet; God has helped Guru Nanak to understand this understanding. || 2 || 5 || 91 ||

RAAG SOOHEE, ASHTAPADEES, FOURTH MEHL, SECOND HOUSE:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

If only someone would come, and lead me to meet my Darling Beloved; I would sell myself to him. || 1 || I long for the Blessed Vision of the Lords Darshan. When the Lord shows Mercy unto me, then I meet the True Guru; I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. || 1 || Pause || If You will bless me with happiness, then I will worship and adore You. Even in pain, I will meditate on You. || 2 || Even if You give me hunger, I will still feel satisfied; I am joyful, even in the midst of sorrow. || 3 || I would cut my mind and body apart into pieces, and offer them all to You; I would burn myself in fire. || 4 || I wave the fan over You, and carry water for You; whatever You give me, I take. || 5 || Poor Nanak has fallen at the Lords Door; please, O Lord, unite me with Yourself, by Your Glorious Greatness. || 6 || Taking out my eyes, I place them at Your Feet; after travelling over the entire earth, I have come to understand this. || 7 || If You seat me near You, then I worship and adore You. Even if You beat me and drive me out, I will still meditate on You. || 8 || If people praise me, the praise is Yours. Even if they slander me, I will not leave You. || 9 || If You are on my side, then anyone can say anything. But if I were to forget You, then I would die. || 10 || I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru; falling at His Feet, I surrender to the Saintly Guru. || 11 || Poor Nanak has gone insane, longing for the Blessed Vision of the Lords Darshan. || 12 || Even in violent storms and torrential rain, I go out to catch a glimpse of my Guru. || 13 || Even though the oceans and the salty seas are very vast, the GurSikh will cross over it to get to his Guru. || 14 || Just as the mortal dies without water, so does the Sikh die without the Guru. || 15 || Just as the earth looks beautiful when the rain falls, so does the Sikh blossom forth meeting the Guru. || 16 || I long to be the servant of Your servants; I call upon You reverently in prayer. || 17 || Nanak offers this prayer to the Lord, that he may meet the Guru, and find peace. || 18 || You Yourself are the Guru, and You Yourself are the chaylaa, the disciple; through the Guru, I meditate on You. || 19 || Those who serve You, become You. You preserve the honor of Your servants. || 20 || O Lord, Your devotional worship is a treasure over-flowing. One who loves You, is blessed with it. || 21 || That humble being alone receives it, unto whom You bestow it. All other clever tricks are fruitless. || 22 || Remembering, remembering, remembering my Guru in meditation, my sleeping mind is awakened. || 23 || Poor Nanak begs for this one blessing, that he may become the slave of the slaves of the Lord. || 24 || Even if the Guru rebukes me, He still seems very sweet to me. And if He actually forgives me, that is the Gurus greatness. || 25 || That which Gurmukh speaks is certified and approved. Whatever the self-willed manmukh says is not accepted. || 26 || Even in the cold, the frost and the snow, the GurSikh still goes out to see his Guru. || 27 || All day and night, I gaze upon my Guru; I install the Gurus Feet in my eyes. || 28 || I make so many efforts for the sake of the Guru; only that which pleases the Guru is accepted and approved. || 29 || Night and day, I worship the Gurus Feet in adoration; have Mercy upon me, O my Lord and Master. || 30 || The Guru is Nanaks body and soul; meeting the Guru, he is satisfied and satiated. || 31 || Nanaks God is perfectly permeating and all-pervading. Here and there and everywhere, the Lord of the Universe. || 32 || 1 ||
