99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Congratulations to everyone
on celebrating the Sikh new year.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Sikh new year falls on
the Sangrand of Chet.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The first day of the first month
in the Sikh calendar

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is Chet.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In this video we are going to be
looking at the Pauree

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the Chet month
in the Bani of Barah Maha

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by Guru Arjan Dev Ji.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Arjan Dev Ji is going to guide us

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and give us teachings
for this month of Chet.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At the end of this video
I will be sharing three things

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that we need to do in this month.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Arjan Dev Ji starts off the Pauree by saying

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Everybody in the world seeks peace,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anand, the state of bliss, of Sukh.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Even in the English calendar inthe month of January when the new year comes

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we all have our new yer resolution

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and one of that is always seeking for happiness.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Arjan Dev Ji says that for us to for that Sukh,

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Anand, that permenant Sukh

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is through Araadhana, is through Naam Simran,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
meditation on Parmatama.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We might ask this question that

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sache Paatshah, where can we get that inspiration and guidance

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or directions to do Naam Simran?

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Also to ensure continuity when we do it?

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Sahib continues in the next Pankti,

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They say,

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is through the sangat of the Saints,

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Mahapurakhs, the Gurmukhs

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that we are inspired to do Naam Simran,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We are blessed and guided to do Naam Simran.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sangat ji, especially walking on the path of Sikhi

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as e new person, it is very important to get that inspiration and that guidance.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just like someone in this world who seekd to become a doctor

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or a businessman or a business woman, what do we do?

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We read the life stories, the biography, we watch videos of the person

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who is a successful doctor or a successful business person.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then being inspired by them we also try to walk on the same path as them as well.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is the same thing here as well sangat ji.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Seeking for that inspiration and guidance from the saints.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Raja Shiv Nabh During the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he was a king of Sangladeep which is now modern Sri Lanka.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Raja Shiv Nabh got inspiration to do Naam Simran from Bhai Mansukh Ji

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who has done the Sangat of Guru Nanak Dev Ji,

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who has learned so much from Guru Nanak Dev Ji

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and was doing Bhagti from the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Raja Shi Nabh listened to the Sakiyan of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was so inspired that he too started doing Naam Simran

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he too started remembering Guru Nanak Dev Ji

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and one day the time came when through that rememberance,

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
through that Araadhana Guru Sahib Themselves

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
came to Sangladepp to bless Raja Shiv Nabh with Their darshan.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Ji says in the next Pankti,

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That those who have found Parmatama

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those saints, those Gurmukhs who have through Naam Simran

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
found Parmatama, their coming into this world

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is fortunate, is fruitful.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Sahib says that too can be our situation as well.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where through Naam Simran, through meditation,

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bhagti we can also find Parmatama

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and our coming into this world will also become fruitful.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Remember what Guru Sahib says

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That we have come here to gain a profit.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Profit of what?

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Through Naam Simran, union with Vaheguru.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Inthe next two Panktiaan Guru Sahib is giving us advice

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on after getting inspiration and guidance to do Naam Simran

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how should we be doing Naam Simran.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That even for a moment

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Khin here means the moment taken for a blink ofan eye

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is so instant

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Sahib says even for an instant if we forget Parmatama,

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we do not remember Vaheguru Ji

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
then that moment, that breath that we have taken

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
has become useless, our life has become uselss infact.

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then we ask this question again to Sache Paatshah

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Vaheguru Ji, Sache Paatshah, Guru Sahib,

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You have guided us, You have told us

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to do Kirat Kamaaee,

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to live in a Griht Jeevan

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and in this world we have our family to take care,

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we have to earn money, we have to provide education

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we have to go to work.

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are so many things that w have to do.

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
How is it that through all of this we can still do Your Naam Simran?

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Sahib says in the next Pankti,

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They say,

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Understand this, know this and realise this

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Parmatama, Akaal Purakh is where?

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Is not just somewhere in a space or in Heven that we have to

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the world has nmade such.

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Guru Sahib is saying that Parmatama

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is in the Jal, in the watr,

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the Thal - Earth,

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
inthe space - Sky

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everywhere

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is even in the jungle, in the blade of grass that we see.

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Parmatama is basically in every core in every single atom, cell

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
* that we can see and we cannot see in this world as well.

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sangat Ji, to be able to come this state

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where we can remember Parmatama throught everything we see

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with our physical eyes

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it really requires us to be concious

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to be in the present moment.

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
think about it.

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Araadhana, the Simran of Akaal
