Congratulations to everyone
on celebrating the Sikh new year.
-
Not Synced
The Sikh new year falls on
the Sangrand of Chet.
-
Not Synced
The first day of the first month
in the Sikh calendar
-
Not Synced
which is Chet.
-
Not Synced
In this video we are going to be
looking at the Pauree
-
Not Synced
of the Chet month
in the Bani of Barah Maha
-
Not Synced
by Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
-
Not Synced
Guru Arjan Dev Ji is going to guide us
-
Not Synced
and give us teachings
for this month of Chet.
-
Not Synced
At the end of this video
I will be sharing three things
-
Not Synced
that we need to do in this month.
-
Not Synced
Guru Arjan Dev Ji starts off the Pauree by saying
-
Not Synced
Everybody in the world seeks peace,
-
Not Synced
Anand, the state of bliss, of Sukh.
-
Not Synced
Even in the English calendar inthe month of January when the new year comes
-
Not Synced
we all have our new yer resolution
-
Not Synced
and one of that is always seeking for happiness.
-
Not Synced
Guru Arjan Dev Ji says that for us to for that Sukh,
-
Not Synced
that Anand, that permenant Sukh
-
Not Synced
is through Araadhana, is through Naam Simran,
-
Not Synced
meditation on Parmatama.
-
Not Synced
We might ask this question that
-
Not Synced
Sache Paatshah, where can we get that inspiration and guidance
-
Not Synced
or directions to do Naam Simran?
-
Not Synced
Also to ensure continuity when we do it?
-
Not Synced
Guru Sahib continues in the next Pankti,
-
Not Synced
They say,
-
Not Synced
It is through the sangat of the Saints,
-
Not Synced
the Mahapurakhs, the Gurmukhs
-
Not Synced
that we are inspired to do Naam Simran,
-
Not Synced
We are blessed and guided to do Naam Simran.
-
Not Synced
Sangat ji, especially walking on the path of Sikhi
-
Not Synced
as e new person, it is very important to get that inspiration and that guidance.
-
Not Synced
Just like someone in this world who seekd to become a doctor
-
Not Synced
or a businessman or a business woman, what do we do?
-
Not Synced
We read the life stories, the biography, we watch videos of the person
-
Not Synced
who is a successful doctor or a successful business person.
-
Not Synced
Then being inspired by them we also try to walk on the same path as them as well.
-
Not Synced
It is the same thing here as well sangat ji.
-
Not Synced
Seeking for that inspiration and guidance from the saints.
-
Not Synced
Raja Shiv Nabh During the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji
-
Not Synced
he was a king of Sangladeep which is now modern Sri Lanka.
-
Not Synced
Raja Shiv Nabh got inspiration to do Naam Simran from Bhai Mansukh Ji
-
Not Synced
who has done the Sangat of Guru Nanak Dev Ji,
-
Not Synced
who has learned so much from Guru Nanak Dev Ji
-
Not Synced
and was doing Bhagti from the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
-
Not Synced
Raja Shi Nabh listened to the Sakiyan of Guru Nanak Dev Ji
-
Not Synced
was so inspired that he too started doing Naam Simran
-
Not Synced
he too started remembering Guru Nanak Dev Ji
-
Not Synced
and one day the time came when through that rememberance,
-
Not Synced
through that Araadhana Guru Sahib Themselves
-
Not Synced
came to Sangladepp to bless Raja Shiv Nabh with Their darshan.
-
Not Synced
Guru Ji says in the next Pankti,
-
Not Synced
That those who have found Parmatama
-
Not Synced
those saints, those Gurmukhs who have through Naam Simran
-
Not Synced
found Parmatama, their coming into this world
-
Not Synced
is fortunate, is fruitful.
-
Not Synced
Guru Sahib says that too can be our situation as well.
-
Not Synced
Where through Naam Simran, through meditation,
-
Not Synced
Bhagti we can also find Parmatama
-
Not Synced
and our coming into this world will also become fruitful.
-
Not Synced
Remember what Guru Sahib says
-
Not Synced
That we have come here to gain a profit.
-
Not Synced
Profit of what?
-
Not Synced
Through Naam Simran, union with Vaheguru.
-
Not Synced
Inthe next two Panktiaan Guru Sahib is giving us advice
-
Not Synced
on after getting inspiration and guidance to do Naam Simran
-
Not Synced
how should we be doing Naam Simran.
-
Not Synced
That even for a moment
-
Not Synced
Khin here means the moment taken for a blink ofan eye
-
Not Synced
It is so instant
-
Not Synced
Guru Sahib says even for an instant if we forget Parmatama,
-
Not Synced
we do not remember Vaheguru Ji
-
Not Synced
then that moment, that breath that we have taken
-
Not Synced
has become useless, our life has become uselss infact.
-
Not Synced
Then we ask this question again to Sache Paatshah
-
Not Synced
that Vaheguru Ji, Sache Paatshah, Guru Sahib,
-
Not Synced
You have guided us, You have told us
-
Not Synced
to do Kirat Kamaaee,
-
Not Synced
to live in a Griht Jeevan
-
Not Synced
and in this world we have our family to take care,
-
Not Synced
we have to earn money, we have to provide education
-
Not Synced
we have to go to work.
-
Not Synced
There are so many things that w have to do.
-
Not Synced
How is it that through all of this we can still do Your Naam Simran?
-
Not Synced
Guru Sahib says in the next Pankti,
-
Not Synced
They say,
-
Not Synced
Understand this, know this and realise this
-
Not Synced
that Parmatama, Akaal Purakh is where?
-
Not Synced
Is not just somewhere in a space or in Heven that we have to
-
Not Synced
the world has nmade such.
-
Not Synced
Guru Sahib is saying that Parmatama
-
Not Synced
is in the Jal, in the watr,
-
Not Synced
in the Thal - Earth,
-
Not Synced
inthe space - Sky
-
Not Synced
everywhere
-
Not Synced
is even in the jungle, in the blade of grass that we see.
-
Not Synced
Parmatama is basically in every core in every single atom, cell
-
Not Synced
* that we can see and we cannot see in this world as well.
-
Not Synced
Sangat Ji, to be able to come this state
-
Not Synced
where we can remember Parmatama throught everything we see
-
Not Synced
with our physical eyes
-
Not Synced
it really requires us to be concious
-
Not Synced
to be in the present moment.
-
Not Synced
think about it.
-
Not Synced
The Araadhana, the Simran of Akaal
