Pauri-1 Invocation- Description of Guru
God Himself created the true Guru Nanak. Becoming Sikh of the Guru, Guru Angad joined this family. Liked by the true Guru, Guru Amar Das became Sikh of the Guru. Then Ram Das, the Sikh of the Guru came to be known as the Guru. Thereafter came Guru Arjan as the disciple of the Guru and got established as a Guru. Hargobind, the Sikh of the Guru cannot remain concealed even if somebody wishes to and this further means that all the Gurus had the same light.
Pauri-2 All the Gurus had the same light.
The Gurmukh- Guru Nanak- by becoming the philosopher’s stone made all the disciples venerable. He illumined the people of all the varnas as the philosopher’s stone converts all the right metals into gold. By becoming sandalwood he made all the trees fragrant. He accomplished the wonder of making disciple the Guru. Extended his light as a lamp is lit by another lamp. As the water mixing with water becomes one, similarly eradicating ego, the Sikh merges into the Guru.
Pauri-3 The Gurmukh
The life of that Gurmukh is successful who has met the true Guru. The Gurmukh who has surrendered before the Guru is a blessed one and his fate is perfect one. The true Guru, by giving him place around his feet has made him remember the name of the Lord. Now being detached, he remains at home and maya does not affect him. By putting into practice the teachings of the Guru, he has realised the invisible Lord. Losing his ego, the Guru oriented Gurmukh hs become emancipated though still embodied.
Pauri-4 The Gurmukhs only sustain the unbearable cup of love.
The Gurmukhs erase their ego and never allow themselves to be noticed. Effacing duality, they worship only one Lord. Accepting Guru as God they by cultivating the words of the Guru, translate them into life. The Gurmukhs serve and get the fruit of happiness. This way Gurmukhs get the cup of love. The bear its unbearable effect in their mind.
Pauri-5 Daily routine of the Gurmukh
The Guru-oriented gets up early in the morning and makes others also to do so. Discarding delusions is equal to bathing at the holy places for him. Gurmukh carefully and attentively recites the moolmantra. The The Gurmukh- single mindedly concentrates upon the Lord. The red mark of love adorns his forehead. Falling on the feet of the Sikhs of the Guru and thus through his own humility,he makes other surrender to his feet.
Pauri-6 The earning of Gurmukh
Touching the feet, the Sikhs of the Guru wash their feet. Then they taste the ambrosial word of Guru through which the mind is controlled. They fetch water, fan the sangat, and put wood in the firebox of the kitchen. They listen to, write and make others write the hymns of the Gurus. They practice the remembrance of Lord’s name, charity, and ablutions. They walk in humility, speak, sweetly, and eat the earning of their own hands.
Pauri-7 Meeting of the Sikhs of the Guru
The Sikhs of the Guru meet each other. Bound by the loving devotion, they celebrate the anniversaries of the Guru. For them, the Sikh of the Guru is the god, goddesses, and the elders. Mother, father, brother and family also is the Sikh of the Guru. Meeting the Sikhs of the Guru is like profitable farming business as well as other gainful occupations for the Sikhs. The progeny of the swan like Sikhs of the Guru is also the Sikh of the Guru.
Pauri-8 Omens
The Gurmukhs never take to their heart the omen on the right or the left. They do not retrace their steps while seeing a man or woman. They do not pay attention to the crises of animals or sneezing. Goddesses and gods are neither served nor worshipped by them. By not entangling in deceits, they do not allow their minds to wander. The Gursikhs have sowed the seed of truth in the field of life and have made it fruitful.
Pauri-9 Holy Congregation- Abode of the Truth.
They know that the creator himself has created and diffused the truth. That true Guru, the supreme one, compassionately has descended on earth. Personifying the formless into the form of Word He has recited it for one and all. The Guru has founded the high mound of the holy congregation known also as abode of truth. There only establishing the true throne he has made all to bow and salute.
Pauri-10 Services to the Holy Congregation.
The Sikhs of the Guru inspire the Sikhs of the Guru to serve. Serving the holy congregation they utter the fruit of happiness. Sweeping and spreading the sitting mats they bathe in the dust of the holy congregation. They bring fresh new pitchers and fill them with water to get it cold. They bring sacred food distribute it among others and eat.
Pauri-11 Do good to evil people
Tree is there in the world and keeps its head downward. It stands steadfast and maintains its head low. Then becoming full of fruits it bears the blows of the stones. Further it is cut to make a ship. Now it moves on the head of water. Having borne iron-saw upon head, it carries the same iron, used in the form of nails in making the ship, across the water.
Pauri-12 The tree bears the evil and does the good.
With the help of iron the tree is cut and pruned and iron nails are struck into it. But the wood of the tree carries iron on its head keeps it floating on water. The water also considering it its adopted progeny does not sink it. But the sandalwood is sunk deliberately to enhance its value. The quality of goodness produces goodness and the whole world also remains happy. I am sacrifice unto him who does good in return of evil.
Pauri-13 Orders of the true Guru
Who accepts the order of God makes the whole world accept His Will. The order of the Guru is that the will of the Lord be accepted positively. Drinking the cup of loving devotion, they visualise the invisible Lord. The Gurmukhs even having realised do not go on divulging this mystery. Gurmukhs eradicate ego from the self and never allow themselves to be noticed. The Guru- oreiented ones acquire the fruit of happiness and spread its seeds all around.
Pauri-14 Love of a disciple
Having beheld the true Guru, the Sikh of the Guru concentrates upon Him. Pondering upon the word of true Guru he cultivates knowledge. He keeps to his heart the mantra and the lotus feet of the Guru. He serves the true Guru and consequently makes the whole world serve him. The Guru loves disciple and he makes the whole world happy. This way, that disciple creates a religion of the Gurmukhs and situates in his own self.
Pauri-15 Yoga- technique for Gurmukh
Guru has explained the technique of yoga to the Sikhs by saying remain detached among all the hopes and desires, eat less food and take less water, speak less and do not talk nonsensical, sleep less and do not be allured by any infatuation.
Pauri-16 Yoga-technique for Gurmukhs
The sermon of the Guru is the earrings of a yogi. Forgiveness is the patched blanket and in the begging bag is the name of the Lord of Maya- God. Humbling touching of the feet is the ashes, cup of love is the bowl,which is filled with affection in the form of food. Knowledge is the stick with which the messengers of different propensities of mind are cultured and disciplined. Holy congregation is the tranquil cave wherein the yogi resides in equipoise.
Pauri-17 Other means of yoga- technique for Gursikhs.
The knowledge about the supreme is the trumpet of yogi and the recitation of the word is music and lyric played on it. The best assembly of gurumukhs could be attained by settling in one’s own home. Such people that is Gurmukhs bow before the primal Lord who had the sight of the invisible Lord. The disciples and the Gurus have enwrapped themselves in the mutual love of each other. Raising above the worldly level they meet their ultimate destiny that is Lord.
Pauri-18 World- the Game of Dice.
Having listened to the teachings of the Guru,the Sikh of Guru has preached other Sikhs. Adopting the teachings of the Guru, the Sikh has recited the same to others. The Sikhs of the Guru have liked the Sikhs and thus a Sikh has met the Sikhs. The pair of the Guru and the disciple has conquered the world-game of oblong dice.
Pauri-19 The Game of Chess
The chess players have spread the chess- mat. Elephants, horses, bishops and foot soldiers, have been brought in. The groups of Kings and ministers have gathered and are fighting intensely. The Gurmukh by making a move has opened his heart before the Guru. The Guru has lifted the common foot soldier to the rank of minister and has place him in the palace of success and thus has saved the life game of the disiciple.
Pauri-20 Living in awe of God, Gurmukhs attain formless Lord.
Under the natural law of awe of Lord, the jiva- creature- is conceived by mother and in the fear of law he is born. In fear he comes to the shelter of the panth of the Guru. In awe while in the holy congregation he earns the merit of the True Word. In fear he gets liberated in life and accepts the will of God happily. In fear he leaves away this life and merges in equipoise. In awe he settles in life and attains the Perfect Being.
Pauri-21 In praise of the Guru
Those, who accepting Guru as God have sought shelter in the Lord. Those who have put their heart at the feet of the Lord, never becomes perishable. They getting deeply rooted in the wisdom of the Guru attain themselves. They adopt the daily routine of the Gurmukhs,and God’s Will become dear to them. As Gurmukhs losing their ego, they merge in the truth. Their birth in the world is meaningful and the help the people in getting across the terrible world ocean of life.
