Var 21 Bhai Gur Das Ji

 

Var-21


One Oankar, the primal energy, realized through the divine preceptor.

Pauri-1 Invocation- Fame of Waheguru

The Lord is the emperor of the emperors, the truth and the beautiful. He, the great, is nonchalant and his mystery cannot be understood. His court is also anxiety free. The feats of His powers are unfathomable and impervious. His praise is true and the story of His praise iscannot be described.I accept the true Guru wondrous and offer my life for His truth.

Pauri-2 Grandeur of the Primeval Lord

Millions of Brahmas, Vishnus, and Mahesas adore the Lord. Narad, Sarad and Sesanag eulogise Him. The gams,gandharvas,and Gana et al play instruments for Him. The six philosophies also propound diverse garbs for reaching Him. The gurus the disciples and the disciples act accordingly. Salute to the primeval Lord who is unfathomable.

Pauri-3 Grandeur of Primeval Lord ( Cont.)

The pirs and paigambars- messengers of God- worship Him. The sheikhs and many worshippers remain in His shelter. The gauses and qutabs- spiritualists of Islam- of many places beg for His grace at His door. Dervishs in their trance stand at His gate to receive alms from Him. Listening to the praises of that Lord many walls also love Him. A rare person of high fortune reaches His court.

Pauri-4 People do not know the works of Creator.

People go on explaining disconnected rumours. But none of the Hindus and Muslims has identified the truth. Only a humble person is accepted respectfully in the court of the Lord. The Vedas, Katebas, and the Quran that is all the scriptures of world also do not even a single word about Him. The whole world is wonder-struck to see his miraculous deeds. I am sacrifice unto that Creator who Himself is the basic grandeur of His creation.

Pauri-5 Pleasure seekers are away from His abode.

Millions of beautiful people come to and go from this world and perform variegated activities. The rags and nods also being wonder-struck eulogise that ocean of attributes- Lord. Millions taste and make others taste the edibles and worthless food. Crores of people manage to make others enjoy the fragrance and varied aromas. But those who consider this body as alien, they all cannot attain His mansion.

Pauri- 6 Duality and Unity

The confluence of Shiva and the Shakti is the root cause of this creation that is full of duality. The maya with her three traits- Sattva, rajas, and tamas- plays her games and sometimes fills a man with hopes and desires and at another time empties him completely frustrating his plans. Maya deludes people through the cyclic garlands of dharma, arth , kam and moksha ordered by Maya to man. But man, the sum total of five elements – air, water, soil, space and fire- perishes ultimately. The jiv- creature- laughs, weeps and wails during all the six seasons and twelve month of his life. And imbued with the pleasures of the miraculous powers never attains peace and equipoise.

Pauri-7 Everything futile without loving devotion

Millions of skills make no avail. Myriads of knowledges, concentrations, and inferences are unable to know the mysteries of Lord. Millions of moons and suns adore Him day and night. And millions of people remain imbued with humility. Millions are worshipping the Lord according to their own religious traditions. Millions are worshipping the Lord as per their own religious traditions. Only through loving devotion one can merge in the Lord- the absolute truth.

Pauri-8 Without loving devotion all is futile.

Millions of spiritualists and emperors confuse the public. Millions adopt yoga and bhog simultaneously. But they cannot fathom the divine who beyond all the religions and the world. Myriads of servants serve him. But their praises cannot know His extent. All standing at His court adore that anxiety free Lord.

Pauri-9 Without loving devotion all is futile

Many masters and leaders come and go. Many majestic courts exist and their stories are so full of wealth. That continuous counting goes on there to avoid any deficiency. Many becoming helping hand to many families are sticking to their words and protect their reputation. Many, overpowered by greed, infatuation and ego, go on cheating and swindling. Many are those who talking and discoursing sweetly wander in all the ten directions. Millions are old people who are still swigging their mind in hopes and desires.

Pauri-10 Without loving devotion all else in futile.

Millions are generous persons who beg and bestow upon others. Millions are incarnations of gods who having born have performed many acts. Many boatmen have rowed but none could know the extent of the World ocean. The thinkers also could not know nothing about His mystery. Millions are eating and feeding others and millions are there who are serving that transcendental Lord and also in the courts of worldly kings.

Pauri – 11 Nothing without loving devotion.

The valiant soldiers show their powers. Millions of listeners elaborate His praises. Researchers also run in all the ten directions. Millions of long-lived ones have happened but none could know the mystery of that Lord. Even being clever, people do not make their minds understand the futility of rituals and other allied hypocrisies. And ultimately get punished at the court of the Lord.

Pauri-12 Sufferings of ego and delights of contentment.

Physicians prepare myriads of prescriptions. Millions of people full of wisdom adopt many a resolution. Many enemies unwittingly go on enhancing their enmity. They march for fightings and thus show their ego. From youth, though, they step in old age yet their egotism is not removed. Only the contented and the humble lose their sense of egocentricity.

Pauri-13 Negation of self conceit is the salvation.

Lacs of spiritualists and their disciples assemble. Myriads of beggars have pilgrimages at the martyrs. Millions of people observe fasts -roza- and offer prayer- namaz- of Eid. Many entice their minds by being busy in questioning and answering. Many are engaged in the key of devotion for opening the lock of mind’s temple. But those Who by becoming dervish at the door of Lord have become acceptable never show their individuality.

Pauri-14 Ugly are the deluded people.

Tall palaces are built and carpets are carpets are spread therein to get counted among the elite. Constructing thousands of forts people rule over them and millions of officers sing panegyrics in the honour of their rulers. Such people full of their self esteems go on transmigrating. And to this world look uglier in the true court of the Lord.

Pauri-15 Hypocrisy

Millions of bathing at pilgrimage centres on auspicious occasions. Serving at the places of gods and goddesses, observance of austerities and millions of praxis by being meditative and full of continence, offering through yajn and horns etc, Fasts, dos and do nots and millions of charities for the sake of show business have absolutely no meaning in that true court of the Lord.

Pauri-16 Man of the Lord’s Court is the Highest.

Millions of leather bags- boats- go on floating on water. But even searching the vast ocean they do not find possible to know the ends of the ocean. The lines of anil birds fly high to know about the sky but their jumps and upward flights do not take them to the highest frontiers of sky. Millions of skies and nether worlds and their inhabitants are beggars before Him and before the servants of God’s court they are nothing more than a particle of dust.

Pauri-17 Power of Lord.

The Lord has produced this world as the play of three dimensional maya. He has accomplished the feat of creation of four life mines- egg, foetus, sweat and vegetation- and four speeches- pars, pasyanti, madhyama, and vaikhar. Creating them from five elements- air, water, fire, soil and space- he bound them all in a divine law. He created and sustained the six seasons and the twelve months. For day and night He lit the sun and the moon as lamps. With one vibrational throb he expanded the whole creation and delighted it through his graceful glance.



Pauri-18 He is detached.

With one sound (Onkar) the Lord creates the universe and destroys it. Form that very Lord myriads of life streams have emerged and there is no end to them. Millions of universe subsume in Him but He is uninfluenced by any of them. He sees His own activities with great enthusiasm and makes many a man glorious. Who can decode the mystery and meaning of His principle of boons and curses. He accepts not only the mental repentance of sins and virtue bur also accepts good deeds.

Pauri-19 The Creator and His Creation is Infinite.

Creation, the power of the Lord is unapproachable and unfathomable. Nobody can know its extent. That Creator is without any anxiety; how could He be persuaded and amused. There is no way to describe the majesty of His court. None is there to tell the way and means leading to Him. This is also incomprehensible that how infinite are His eulogies and how should He be concentrated upon. The dynamics of the Lord is unmanifest,deep and unfathomable; it cannot be discerned.

Pauri-20 Only grace of the Lord is desired.

The primeval Lord is said to be the supreme wonder. The words also fail to tell about the beginning of that sans beginning. He operates in the time and even before the time primordial and mere discussions cannot explain Him. He, the preceptor and lover of the devotees that can not be deceived, is known by the name of the Equipoise. The desire of the consciousness is to remain merged in His silent melody heard in the trance. He, being full of all dimensions, is the wonder of the wonders. Now the only desire remains that the grace of that perfect Guru be with me so that I may realise the Lord.
