Can anyone explain these beautiful words from Gurbani?

To hear the Shabd click here

Please help me understand what my Guru is saying....I first heard this through my bro Rishi and never has he sung it again or have I heard it until yesterday...

Thanks to Manvir Singh and Guruka Singh for helping me finding the meaning online...

That beautiful shabd is from the Vaars of Bhai Gurdaas Ji on Pannaa 42.

supan charithr chithr baanak banae bachithra
paavan pavithr mithr aaj maerai aaeae hai
param dhaeiaal laal lochan bisaal mukha
bachan rasaal madhh madhhur peeaaeae hai
sobhith sijaasan bilaasan dhai a(n)kamaala
praemaras bisam hue sehaj samaaeae hai
chaathrik sabadh sun akheeaa oughar gee
bhee jal meen gath bireh jagaaeae hai


I saw Him (my beloved) in a vision. It was an amazing sight! 
His form was adorned in a wondrous way. 

My extremely sacred, beloved and pure friend came to me today. (in my vision)

He is the greatest and most merciful and he is my beloved Laal. (a very precious thing) 

He has beautiful eyes.
Words from His mouth are sweet as nectar. 
Hearing them I drink Madh Madhur (sweet and delicious honey.)

He was seated on a beautiful bed and He hugged me to Him. 
I was filled with indescribable bliss. 

Lost in the wonder of the sweetness of His love, I became blended with Him.

I the chatrik bird, after hearing the Divine Shabad, understood everything. (my inner eye opened)

Now I am like a fish in water. Great Bairaag (longing of separation) has sprouted inside me.

Laying my head at the feet of the Guru

I believed you

I trusted you

With everything

So then why do these tears fall

If I had the choice

If I could turn back time

I would never do this

To stop my tears

I would be in the beautiful lap of my Mum

With my head on her lap

Her sweet voice

Laughing

Why so much dukh Maharaj

The one was not for me

I never thought I would feel like this

My tears run everyday

Feeling restricted

But I should trust Guru Ji

Has he let me down in the past?

When can I leave this earth?

To lay my head in the lap of my true Guru

To lay with my eyes closed

Aaj More Aaye Hain 

Aaj More Aaye Hain

The one does not see

The pain the suffering

I wish it to remain anon

The tears will fall

Help me through...Waheguru

Feel scared

These are the finals

Help me through

Maharaj

I have faith in you

Not faith in myself

Please see me through

Maharaj

Love you no matter what Maharaj

Anon story from Sikh by Choice

I read this from the following link

Very inspirational

anyway my dad took amrit at 37

he used to be a huge drinker
once upon a time he smacked a dog on the nose and it bled to nearly death on our doorstep
he had a bad temper
my mum was lovely always bearing the crap from him
dont think he ever hit her
but was always shouting gussey drinking meat etc

anyway so one day he started getting nose bleeds and really bad i was only little back in 1988 i was 8 yrs old
the bath tub was full of blood and my mom was cryng
he went to hospital and was put on life support and his nose was stuffed up
condition was very bad

anyway doctors said that no sure of hes gonna make it

so i remeber mom coming home crying every day from hospital we had aunties cooking for us cos she was too depressed too

anyway the next morning a miracle he recovered - nurses said it was weird they cudnt get into his room for a second and something odd was going on but never mind he was discharged and sent home

ur prob thinking wat happened inthe room - well i dont tell anyone cos ppl dont believe me or my dad they think he hallucinated cos of medication

but he had a messenger from death visit him
he says this thing kept saying to hi cmon lets go and was walking to him fast and trying to grab him, he was screaming said he was scared

then he says he started doing simran (my dad never believed in god b4 this, thought it was routinal to go gurdwara sunday morning)

anyway the more he did simran the thing stepped back- and when he stopped he said it came closer
so then he said i closed my eyes and i prayed and did ardaas with harmander sahib in vision

he did this for ages and ages and ages
and finally this thing went away

after that he changed his life - he stopped meat, drink, started growing his hair, reading parth, we have maharaj at home in our house too !!

37 isnt that young compared to some ppl who take amrit youg, but i thought it was for my dad the way he was … so i do believe in it all deep down cos iv been told about this first hand by my dad

Belief in Maharaj

Before I got married I was always wondering the type of guy that would be the one.  I believe that Maharaj has put us in soul mates although the ultimate soul mate is Maharah himself as is every relationship.  We have our maternal mother and paternal father on this world but ultimately it is Maharaj himself who is our mother and father.  

Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Sire

e Raag on Pannaa 45 says:

eiko bhaaee mith eik eiko maath pithaa ||

The One is my Brother, the One is my Friend. The One is my Mother and Father.

I feel so lucky to have the one by my side.  He had a knee operation yesterday and made me

 realise how much I miss him and hope he is okay.  He really does stand by my side, he believes i

n Maharaj, he is a gem of a husband.  All he does, how much he cares its pure Maharaj.  

So this is dedicated to the one...

To see your smile

To see your face

You are a light

From Maharaj

I asked for you

A true deep desire

You are my gift

From Maharaj

You always stand by me

You are the son of Guru Ji

I know for sure you are

From Maharaj

People give their wives

Expensive gifts but it is so nice

To be spoiled with love

From Maharaj

I wondered today

What I would say 

To my Guru

From Maharaj

What would I say 

To the giver of all

The supreme truth

From Maharaj

Thank you Maharaj

Feel scared

I hope I pass these exams!

I ask you

If your not happy 

Then why keep me here

Keep me unhappy

Keep you unhappy

Why do you do this to me

Put me down 

Make me feel like this

Perhaps this was a lesson

What the world wants

I am apart

The needs of a man

I cannot see to

Maharaj it is in ur hands

We have no control

My body does not give in

That is in ur hands

SIDDH GOSHT

Early 2006 I had a dream where I truly felt Maharaj trying to communicate with me.  In the dream I was explaining to a work colleague from Debs head office about the Hukamnama.  I was (in my dream) sitting at his desk and on his screen looking at Hukam from Sikhnet and saying look Maharaj is saying through the Sidh Gost  This is where my answer is.  

Believe it not I had never heard of Sidh Gost and did not even realise it was from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj...here I have finally found my answers....

From the SIDDH GOSHT by GURU NANAK (1469-1539) 

Translated from the original in Gurmukhi by INNI KAUR 

 Source

THE SIDDH GOSHT 

Snuggled in the Guru Granth Sahib on pages 938-946 are seventy-three exquisite stanzas that encapsulate the philosophy of Guru Nanak. Written in a musical measure is a discourse between Guru Nanak and the Nath yogis. The latter were ascetics (siddhs) who had renounced the world and made their home in the caves of the Himalayas, where they practiced their religious austerities; they subscribed to the belief system that certain mental and physical exercises are necessary for acquiring occult powers (also known assiddhs), which in turn would lead to the attainment of liberation.

So what is the Siddh Gosht?

The Siddh Gosht is a series of questions put before Guru Nanak by the yogis. What is fascinating is that the questions of the yogis are the very same questions we face in the world today. Guru Nanak answers theyogis in their language, using their idiom and symbolism. His answers are as fresh and enlightening as they were some five centuries ago. His belief that liberation can be attained while "living in this world" by becoming truth-oriented, comes out loud and clear. For Guru Nanak, true yoga is a meditative remembrance of the Word, but must be combined with selfless service to those in need in the community.

While there is some difference of opinion over the time and place when the Siddh Gosht was composed and about which siddhs were present during the dialogue, there is no question regarding the authorship.

In "The Dialogue" below, the words of the siddhs are presented in itallics; Guru Nanak's response in each case is shown in regular font. 

 

 

 

THE  DIALOGUE

 

The siddhs join

The saintly congregation

And offer salutations.

 

Says Nanak:

I salute

The Infinite One

Who is beyond reach.

 

Siddhs:

Speak truthfully-

Who are you?

What is your name?

Which path do you follow?

What is your life's aim?

 

Nanak:

I speak only Truth.

 

I bow only

To the Infinite One.

 

I dedicate my life

To the Infinite One.

 

I seek

A truthful congregation

To experience Equipoise.

 

In wandering

I see no merit.

Liberation comes from

The Word.

 

Where is your home?

Where have you come from?

Where are you going?

You were once a wanderer.

Now, you are a householder.

Which path are you pursing?

Enlighten us.

 

My home is

In the Infinite One

That dwells in all.

 

I've come from Truth,

To Truth I'll return.

 

I pursue only Truth

By Guru's Grace.

 

This world is an impassable ocean.

How does one cross over?

Give us your thoughtful reply,

Says Charpat.

 

To the one who claims

To know all,

What answer can I give?

 

Attune the mind

To the Word.

 

Amidst desires,

Be without desire.

 

Amidst attachment,

Live detached.

 

Then,

Like a lotus in muddy waters,

Like a duck floating in a stream,

You, too, will cross over.

 

The truth-oriented

Realizes  - 

The self is

Merged in

Truth.

 

How does one find

The Guru's door?

 

The fickle mind

Sits in its true home,

But knows naught.

 

When the Word is imbued,

It becomes an anchor.

 

Mind steadies.

Truth Graces.

One arrives.

 

We shun the world

And abide in the woods.

We eat fruit and roots

And bathe at sacred sites.

Thus, filth touches us not

And we obtain fruits of peace.

This ancient wisdom

Is our way to union.

Says Loharipa, Gorakha's disciple.

 

With mind attuned to

The Word,

Live in the world.

 

Without the Word,

Worldly hunger devours.

 

Desire not another's

Beauty or wealth.

 

Steady the mind.

 

Sleep light, eat light.

It is quintessential

Wisdom.

 

O Nanak,

Wear our colors,

Our earrings,

Our patched coat

Amongst the twelve schools of yoga

And the six schools of philosophy,

Ours is the best.

 

Adopt our way -

Suffering disappears.

This is the way

To attain union.

 

Without the Word,

Religious robes are useless.

Without the Word,

There is no yoga.

Without the Word,

There is no liberation.

 

Word is the

Teacher that liberates.

 

Overcome

Lust

Wrath

Greed

Attachment

Ego.

 

Let

Truth

Contentment

Continence

Become your companions.

 

Dwell on

The One.

See the One

In all.

 

Truth Graces.

Divine Union

Is attained.

 

Who is in all?

Who is free from rebirth?

Who overcomes duality?

Who is born?

Who dies?

Who pervades the three regions?

 

The Infinite One

Is in all.

The truth-oriented

Is liberated.

The one permeated in the Word

Overcomes duality.

 

It is ego

That is born.

It is ego

That dies.

Truth pervades

The three regions.

 

How does one get entangled with worldly attachments?

How is purity lost?

How is it regained?

How is the darkness of ignorance lifted?

One who explains this Reality

Is our Teacher.

 

When Truth becomes distant,

Worldly attachments entangle.

 

In egotistical deeds,

Purity is lost.

Becoming truth-oriented,

It is regained.

 

Meeting the Teacher,

The veil of ignorance is lifted.

 

Why did you leave home?

Why did you wander?

Why did you wear the hermit robes?

What are you trading?

How will you ferry your followers across?

 

I became a wanderer

In search of

Truth-Oriented individuals.

 

I wore the hermit robes

To meet

Seekers of Truth.

 

I am a trader of Truth.

 

The truth-oriented

Will be ferried across.

 

How did you change your destiny?

Who absorbs you?

How have you stilled your hopes and desires?

How have you found the Light within?

Life is full of desires, how have you overcome them?

 

The Word

Changed my destiny.

 

The Unstruck Melody

Absorbs me.

 

Living Truth

Ended my reincarnations.

 

The Word

Burnt my worldly desires.

 

Becoming truth-oriented,

I found the Light within.

 

Desires are three-tiered:

Sloth

Restlessness

Ignorance.

Overcoming them,

Truth itself emancipates.

 

What is the beginning?

Where does the Infinite One live?

What are the markings of spiritual wisdom?

Who lives in all hearts?

How does one overcome the fear of death?

How can one enter fearlessly?

How is Equipoise attained?

How does one overcome the Five Thieves?

(Lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego)

 

The Beginning:

A state of indescribable wonder,

A state of profound stillness,

Is the abode of the Infinite One.

 

The conquest of desire

Is the marking of spiritual wisdom.

 

The Infinite One

Abides in all hearts.

 

Living

The Word

Overcomes

The fear of Death.

 

The Word enlightens.

The Word conquers.

The Word reveals.

Equipoise is attained.

 

Eradicating

Ego

Individualism

Duality,

The thieving five

Are overcome.

 

Where do we come from?

Where do we go?

Where do we rest in salvation?

The one who reveals this mystery,

We consider him the Teacher.

How does one find the Quintessence?

How does one become truth-oriented?

 

We emerge

In Divine Command.

We leave

In Divine Command.

We rest

In Divine Command.

 

Through Word,

Equipoise is attained.

 

Accepting

Divine Command,

Truth will unfold,

Reality will reveal.

 

Intuitively, one receives

The Immaculate Essence.

 

The heart in which

Rests Truth  -

That heart

Has merged.

 

The Teacher

Knows.

 

The disciple that serves

This Teacher

Forsaking all,

Finds Truth.

 

A yogi

Is one

Who

Kills his ego,

Becomes sans desire

And

Enshrines the Truth

Deep within.

 

Knowing Oneness,

Experiencing Oneness,

Obliterating ego,

Duality dissipates.

 

Within flowers  -

The Lotus

Illuminating one.

The journey begins.

 

When the self dies,

One sees oneself

In all life.

 

The journey has begun.

 

True Wisdom

One attains.

 

Truth

Untruth

Worldliness

Detachment

One discriminates.

 

Reflecting on

Virtue and wisdom

Is the

Essence of True Living.

 

Through the Word,

Reincarnation ends.

 

Forgetting the Word,

The ego-oriented suffer,

They know no peace.

 

The truth-oriented

Lives in Truth.

 

The truth-oriented

Attains

The jewel Truth.

 

The truth-oriented

Enshrines

The jewel Truth.

 

The truth-oriented

Practices Truth

In

Thought

Word

Deed.

 

In the truth-oriented

Resides

The Word

Compassion

Purity.

 

The truth-oriented

Intuitively understands

The ancient scriptures.

 

The truth-oriented

Knows the mystery

Of all hearts.

 

The truth-oriented

Rises above

Worldly give and take.

 

The truth-oriented

Obtains

The eight occult powers

And universal wisdom.

 

The truth-oriented

Discriminates between

Truth and falsehood.

 

The truth-oriented

Knows

Both

Worldliness and renunciation.

 

The truth-oriented

Is the bridge

That carries millions ashore.

 

The truth-oriented

Breaks

The cycle of birth and death.

 

The truth-oriented

Knows

The mystery of the Unspoken Word.

 

The truth-oriented

Is liberated

Through the Word.

 

In the midst of family,

Living righteously,

In contemplation,

Through pure conduct

Inspiring others,

The truth-oriented

Merges

In the Infinite One.

 

The Infinite One

Created earth

For the truth-oriented.

 

It is a play of

Creation and destruction.

 

What is the source?

Which teachings hold true?

Who is your Teacher?

Whose disciple are you?

How do you stay unattached?

 

The air is the source.

It is the first breath.

 

The teachings of

The True Teacher

Hold true.

 

The Divine Word

Is my Teacher.

I, its disciple.

 

Attached to the

Word,

I remain detached.

 

Immersed in Word,

Ego becomes distant.

True contemplation

Takes place.

 

Immersed in Word,

True conversation

With the seekers of Truth

Takes place.

 

Immersed in Word,

One understands

The three worlds.

 

Immersed in Word,

One finds the

Door of liberation.

 

Immersed in Word,

Divine Nectar flows.

Ego's fire

Is extinguished.

 

The path is hard, without ascetic discipline,

How does one cross over?

The soul lives in a body of passion.

Where is the cave

That tranquils the mind?

 

Hard it is

For the self-centered

To cross over.

 

Eradicating "I",

Erasing duality,

One crosses over.

 

When Word resides within,

Body and mind are cooled,

Immersed in Truth.

 

When the focused mind

Is in deep absorption,

The soul rests

In the Cave of Equipoise,

Its true home.

 

How is the mind enlightened?

How is Wisdom attained?

How is fear of death overcome?

Who is the warrior who conquers death?

How is the honor of the Truth-Oriented preserved?

 

Immersed in Word,

Body and mind become one.

 

Breath rises

To the Tenth Door.

 

Grace

Happens.

 

Eternal Light

Floods in.

 

Darkness is dispelled.

Wisdom is attained.

 

The Word within

Shatters

The fear of death.

 

Pain and pleasure

Are alike

To the conqueror of death.

 

The truth-oriented

Sees

The One

In all  -

Becoming

A treasure of Truth.

 

Where abides the Word?

Who supports the breath?

How is the mind stabilized?

How can the Unseen be seen?

 

The Word abides

In the heart of all beings.

 

The Infinite One

Supports breath.

 

Enshrined in the Word,

Mind stabilizes.

 

The Word

Pervades all beings.

 

As air is all-pervading,

So is the Infinite One.

 

Through Grace,

One understands

The three energy channels:

Sushmana

Ida

Pingala.

 

But

The Infinite One

Is beyond

The energy channels.

 

Through

The Word,

The Unseen

Is seen.

 

If air is the true substance of life,

Where does air draw its sustenance?

Which is the way to wisdom?

What kind of wisdom holds the mind?

What is the practice of a Siddha?

 

The Word

Is the true sustenance.

 

The Truth

Is the true regulator of breath.

 

Imbued in the Word,

Intoxicated with Truth,

Divine Nectar flows,

The soul settles in peace.

 

When Word

Holds the mind,

Pain and pleasure become alike.

But rare is one

Who realizes this.

 

When there was no life,

Where did the mind and breath reside?

 

In the Silence.

In the Stillness.

Everyone, everything

Is part of that Silence.

 

How did the world form?

How is pain ended?

How does one merge in Truth?

 

Out of ego, came the world.

Forsaking the Word, pain endures.

Without the Word, one wanders.

Reflect on this.

 

Contemplate the Word

Conquer the ego

Still the mind.

Enshrine Truth.

Overcome the fear of Death

Become Truth-Oriented.

 

Nanak prays:

O Infinite One  -

You are the state.

You are the extent.

You are in the hidden.

You are in the revealed.

The seekers seek.

The disciples beg.

Throughout the ages,

It is Your Play.
