Var-22
Invocation Divine Creation
One Oankar , the primal energy, realised through the grace of divine preceptor. The formless Lord who is without any anchor and is imperceptible, has not made himself fully known to anyone. From bodiless He assumed the form by himself and becoming Oankar He created infinite wondrous forms. In the form of the true name and becoming the Creator, He came to be known as the protector of His own reputation. Through three dimensional maya He nourishes one and all. He is the creator of the cosmos and prescribes its destiny. He is the basis of all,the incomparable one. None has ever disclosed the date, day, and month of creation. Even the Vedas and other scriptures could not fully explain His thoughts.
Pauri-2 Divine Power
Who without any props,and controlled by habit has created behavioural patterns. How the swan reaches the heights of sky. Wondrous is the mystery of wings which made the swan to soar at such heights. How did Dhruv in the form of immovable star mount the sky. It is a mystery how a humble eschewing ego acquires honour in life. Only the gurmukhs who have meditated upon Lord is accepted in His court.
Pauri-3 Divine Power
In order to know Him, people put in extreme efforts but could not know His extant. Those who went out to know His extent never returned. To know Him, myriads of people have remained wandering in illusions. That primeval Lord is the grand wonder whose mystery cannot be understood by mere listening. His waves, shades etc are limitless. The imperceptible Lord who has created all through His single vibration cannot be perceived. I am sacrifice unto that creator, whose maya is this creation. The Guru has made me understand that God alone knows about His own self none else can know Him.
Pauri-4 The Creation
The true Creator as the Truth is pervading one and all. Out of Truth He created air in the form of oxygen that is residing in all. From air was created water which always remains humble that it always moves downwards. Earth as a raft is made to float on water. From water emerged fire which spread throughout the whole vegetation. By virtue of this very fire the trees were full of fruits. In this way air, water, and fire were integrated under the order of that primeval Lord. And thus this game of creation was arranged.
Pauri-5 Creation
Flow great is the truth that it is liked by that true One- God. How vast is the air that moves in all the four directions. Fragrance is placed in sandal which makes the other trees also fragrant. Bamboos burn by their friction and destroy their own abode. The forms of the bodies have become visibly the association between Shiva and Shakti. One distinguishes between the cuckoo and the crow by listening to their voice. He created the four life-mines and endowed them worthy speech and judicious gifted breaths. He made the A’s accept the five gross varieties of the subtle silent Word and thus on the beat of the drum He pronounced supremacy over all.
Pauri- 6 Qualities of a Sadhu
Music, melody, dialogue, and knowledge make man a conscious being. By disciplining the nine gates of the body one is called a Sadhu. Transcending the worldly illusions he stabilizes within his self. Prior to this, he was running after practices of hath yoga. Such as the rechak, purak, kumbhak, tratak, nyolrand and bhujang asan. He practised different process of breathing like ira, pingala, and susumna. He perfected their khechari and chachari postures. Through such mysterious sport he establishes himself in the equipoise.
Pauri-7 Yoga-technique
The breath going ten fingers out the mind is associated with the vital air the practice is completed. The imperceptible soham – I am He- is visualised in equipoise. In this state of equipoise , the rare drink of ever-wing cascade is quaffed. Getting absorbed in silent melody a mysterious sound is heard. Through the silent prayer,one merges in the Lord( Suny). And in that perfect mental tranquillity egoism is done away with. The gurmukhs drink from the cup of love and establish themselves in their own real self. Meeting the Guru, the Sikh achieves the perfect completeness.
Pauri- 8 The Guru and the Sikh
As the lamp is lit from the flame of another lamp. As sandal’s fragrance makes the whole vegetation fragrant. As the water mixing with water acquires the status of triveni- confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers. As air meeting the vital air becomes unheard music. As a diamond being perforated by another diamond gets stringed into a necklace. A stone by becoming the philosopher’s stone performs its miraculous feat and as an anil bird getting birth in the sky promotes the work of its father. Similarly the Guru making the Sikh meet the Lord establishes him in the equipoise.
Pauri- 9 Divine Power
How great is His one vibration which has created the whole expanse of the world. How big is His weighing hook that it has sustained the entire creation ! Creating crores of universes He has spread around His power of speech. Lacs of earths and skies He kept hanging without support. Million types of airs,waters and fires has He created. He created the game of eighty four lacs of species. No end is known of the creatures of even one species. He has engraved written on the forehead of all so that they all may meditate upon the Lord who is beyond writ.
Pauri- 10 The way of Gurmukhs
The true Guru has recited the true name to the disciples. Gurmurati- the word of the Guru- is the real object to mediate upon. The holy congregation is such a refuge where the truth adorns the place. In the court of the true justice, the order of the Lord prevails. The abode-village- of the Gurmukhs is the truth whose inhabitant is Word (Sabad). The ego is decimated there and the pleasure giving shade of humility is obtained there. Through the wisdom of Guru the unbearable truth is instilled in the heart. I am sacrifice unto him who loves the Will of the Lord.
Pauri-11 Gurmukh, the supreme stage
Gurumukhs accept the will of that Lord as truth and they love His will. Bowing at the feet of the true Guru, they shed their sense of ego. As disciples, they please the Guru and the heart of the Guru gets happy. The gurmukhs realises the imperceptible Lord spontaneously. The Sikh of Guru has no greed at all and he earns his livelihood by the labour of his hands. Merging his consciousness into the word he obeys the commands of the Lord. Crossing beyond the worldly illusions he abides in his own real self. This way, the gurmukhs having attained the pleasure fruit absorb themselves in equipoise.
Pauri-12 Guru Angad Dev
Gurmukhs knew very well about the one Guru- Nanak- and one disciple- Angad. By becoming the true Sikh of the Guru, this disciple virtually merged himself into the latter. The true Guru and the disciple were identical in spirit and their Word was also one. This is the wonder of the past and the future that they both loved the truth. They were beyond all accounts and were honour of the humble ones. For them, the nectar and poison were the same and they had got liberated from the cycle of transmigration. Recorded as the model of special virtues, they are known as the extremely honourable ones. The wonderful fact is that the sikh of the Guru becomes the Guru.
Pauri-13 Virtues of the Gurmukhs and the glory of the dust.
Gurmukhs drink the unbearable cup of love filled up to brims and being in the presence of all. Pervading Lord they perceive the imperceptible. The one who resides in all hearts is dwelling in their hearts. The love creeper of their has become full of fruits as the seedling of grape turns out to be fruitful vine. Becoming sandal, they provide coolness to one and all. Their cool is like the coolness of sandal, moon and camphor. Associating the Sun- rajas- with the moon- sattv- they assuage its heat. They put on their forehead the dust of the lotus feet. And come to know the Creator as the root of all the causes. When flame of knowledge flashes in their heart, the silent melody starts ringing.
Pauri-14 Virtues of the Gurmukhs and the glory of the dust.
The power of one vibration of the Lord transcends all limits. The wonder and power of Oankar cannot be described. It is with His support that millions of rivers carrying life water go on flowing. In His creation, the gurmukhs are known as invaluable diamonds and rubies. And they remain steadfast in gurmati and are accepted with honour in the court of the Lord. The path of the Gurmukhs is straight and clear and they reflect the truth. Myriad poets desire to know the mystery of His Word. The gurmukhs have quaffed the dust of the feet of Guru like nectar- amrit. This tale is also ineffable.
Pauri-15 Waheguru- the wondrous Lord is ineffable.
I am sacrifice unto that Creator whose value cannot be estimated. How could anybody tell how old is He. What could I tell about the powers of the Lord who enhances the honour of the humble ones. Myriads of earths and skies are not equal to even an iota of His. Millions of universes are wonder struck to see His power. He is King of the Kings and His ordinance is final and ultimate. Millions of oceans subsume in His one drop. Explanations and elaborations pertaining to Him are incomplete and fake because His tale is ineffable.
Pauri-16 Conduct of the Gursikhs
Gurmukhs know well how to move according to the command- hukam of the Lord. Gurmukh has ordained that community who move in the will of the Lord, becoming contented and true to faith they gratefully thank God. Gurmukhs perceive His wondrous sport. They behave innocently like children and eulogize the primaeval Lord. They merge their consciousness in the holy congregation and truth do they love. Identifying the word they get emancipated and losing their sense of ego they perceive their inner selves.
Pauri-17 Glory of the true Guru.
The dynamism of the Guru is unmanifest and unfathomable. It is so deep and sublime that its extent cannot be known. As from each drop become many tumultuous rivulets. Similarly the ever-growing glory of gurmukhs become ineffable. His shores near and far cannot be known and He is adorned in infinite ways. The comings and goings cease after entering the court of the Lord that is one become free from the bondage of transmigration. The true Guru is totally carefree yet He is the power of the powerless ones. Blessed is the true Guru, seeking whom all feel wonder struck.
Pauri-18 Holy congregation is the abode of truth
Holy congregation is the abode of truth where gurmukhs go to reside. Gurmukhs adore the grand and powerful true name of the Lord. There skilfully they enhance their inner flame of knowledge. Having seen the whole universe I have found that none reaches His grandeur. He who has come to the shelter of the holy congregation has no longer the fear of death. Even the horrible sins are decimated and one escapes from going to hell. As the rice comes out of husk,likewise whosoever goes to the holy congregation gets liberated. There, homogeneous truth prevails and falsehood lags far behind.
Pauri-19 Conduct of the Gursikhs.
Bravo to the Sikhs of Guru who have refined their lives. The right living of the Sikhs of the Guru is that they love the Guru. Gurmukhs remember the name of the Lord with every breath and every morsel. Repudiating pride they remain detached amidst maya. Gurmukhs consider themselves as the servant of the servants and service only is their true conduct. Pondering over the Word, they remain neutral towards hopes. Eschewing stubbornness of mind, gurmukhs reside in equipoise. Enlightened of gurmukhs salvages many a fallen one.
Pauri-20 Conduct of the Gursikhs
Those gurmukhs are applauded who have found the true Guru. Practising the Word, they have emancipated their whole families. Gurmukhs have the Will of God and they act in accordance with the truth. Eschewing ego, they get the door of liberation. The gurmukhs have made he mind understand the principle of altruism. The base of gurmukhs is truth and they finally get absorbed into truth. Gurmukhs are not scared of public opinion and this way they visualise that imperceptible God.
Pauri-21 Nature of the Gurmukhs
As touching the philosopher’s stone all eight metals transform into gold, similarly getting the company of gurmukh people become pure. Like the fragrance of sandal they permeate allthe trees that is they adopt one and all all as their own. They are like Ganges in which all rivers and rivulets merge and become full of vitality. Gurmukhs are the swans of the Mansarovar who are not perturbed by other cravings. The Sikhs of the Guru are the paramharisas- the swans of the highest order. So do not mix with ordinary ones and their sight is not easily available. Craving reposed in the shelter of Guru, even the so called impure ones become venerable. The company of the holy, forms the regime of Truth everlasting.
