Satguru Paatshaah's hukamnama in jaitsiri vaar, as per in reply to the questions of pandit vijayram. That
Gurmukh researcher asked several questions to Satguru Paatshaah.
Satguru ji has used jaitsiri vaar to give the answers, to say the essence of a thing in less words. Kathakaar is saying that Satguru ji has used this grammer style.
In the shaloks, Satguru ji has used the vaydik* parampara tradition of saying the shabads, meaning these are irrespective of any religion, sect or division, and in the paurees, Satguru ji is using the laukik* parampara tradition, the language style grammar of the local people of the area.
Satguru ji is explaining us in detail the method in which how our lives will be successful, how we are to live our lives successfully.
Satguru ji is revealing this method to us in the hukamnama.
salok.
rasnaa uchrant naamaN
There are five karm indriyas (senses) and There are five gian indriyas (senses)
karm - work
gian - knowledge
rasnaa - tongue
uchrant - speak
naamaN - name (Parmatma's)*
rasnaa does both the work of karm indraya and gian indraya
when our rasnaa helps in eating the food, by swallowing it, sending it to our stomach, It is doing the work as karm indraya
When our rasnaa speaks, saying there is less salt in the dal, or there is less sugar in the tea, It is doing the work of gian indraya.
When our rasnaa does the work of karm indriya, swallowing food, we call it jeeb/tongue.
When our rasnaa does the work of gian indriya, speaking, we call it rasnaa/(speaking faculty)*.
Satguru Paatshah is saying,
Our Gian indraya rasnaa's righteous purpose will be fulfilled, when it speaks parmatma's naam.
In Japji Sahib,
ik doo jeebhou lakh hohi lakh hovahi lakh vees.
Let the tongue be multiplied a lakh times, and let these be multiplied even twenty times more.
lakh lakh gayrhaa aakhee-ahi ayk naam jagdees.
with these hundreds of thousands of times, the Name of the One, the Lord of the Universe be recited.
ayt raahi pat pavrhee-aa charhee-ai ho-i ikees.
In this way, we climb the steps of the ladder, and come to merge with Him.
sun galaa aakaas kee keetaa aa-ee rees.
hearing of the talks of etheric realms, even the worms long to return
naanak nadree paa-ee-ai koorhee koorhai thees. ||32||
Nanak through the grace of God, it is obtained. False are the boastings of False.
Many Gianis also say, when the rasnaa recites the parmatma, progressing in this way, every individual cell becomes a tongue, and starts vibrating on Parmatma's name.
Kathakaar is now saying that
Gurmukh pyara have talked about 4-5 stages in reciting Parmatma's name.
First, gurbani should be read out aloud.
Second, reading gurbani again and again, the person comes at a stage, when he reads bani, but the second or third person doesnt hear him reciting, this is called "madma"* stage. The tongue is moving, but the person sitting nearby cannot hear. the throat is active but the person nearby doesnt hear it.
Third, is the stage of "basanti"*, in which the tongue does not move, nor is throat actively saying anything. The continous recitation goes on continously in the heart. The person has to keep his mind focussed on this continous jaap rememberance recitation of Parmatma's name going in the heart. By being distracted from this rememberance, are the obstacles in this stage.
Fourth, is the stage of "Para"*, Kathakaar is saying that among crores (many 10,000,000's), a few attained this stage. Kathakaar is giving example of Bhai Mati Das. In every drop of blood that spill, the continous recitation of Jap ji Sahib was continously heard.
whether hindu, muslim,
Sikh, the aim of all is to be one with Parmatma and recite name of Parmatma. Kathakaar is giving example of another saint, Baba Mansoor, who used to say "Anal Haq", when he was cut bit by bit alive, the drops of blood that spilled were also giving that sound of Anal Haq.
sarvanaN sunant sabad amritah.
The mind is never steady, and wanders constantly distracted. By keeping the mind focussed on "suniai"/listening to the recitation of Parmatma's naam, it becomes steady on its own.
Listen to gur shabad, this is medicine for controlling the five theives of kaam/lust/desire, krodh/anger, lobh/greed, moh/attachment, ahaankaar/pride/ego.
Reciting with rasnaa, Listening with the mind, the sick mind will be healed.
naanak tin sad balihaaraN jinaa Dhi-aan paarbrahmaneh. ||1||
how much Satguru ji gives honor/respect to those who meditate on Parmatma's naam.
Guru Arjan Sahib ji, is saying Iam forever a sacrifice to those who remember Parmatma.
Kathakaar is saying, these are not only words, but if we read history we will find many instances where Satguru ji is a sacrifice to those
Sikhs who remember Parmatma, who have fear and respect of Gurbani.
Kathakaar is giving an example of a sangat, which was coming from a far place, and on the way, they did gurbani
Kirtan. Satguru ji came to know it, but was injured/hurt in the knee, even then he continued walking towards that direction to meet those
Sikhs who were singing Gurbani.
Satguru has said, gurbani is the support of the
Sikhs, like the backbone in our bodies, which is our main support. Those who don't respect Gurbani, those who don't have fear of Gurbani, They can think of themselves as
Sikhs, But I dont consider them as my
Sikhs.
Satguru ji gives lot of honor to those who sing gurbani, and have respect for Gurbani. Satguru is sacrifice to those who meditate on Parmatma.
habh koorhaavay kamm ikas saa-ee baahray.
These days, Our lives have become like machines, we are never free from business/work. Always entangled in so many other works or duties.
Satguru ji is saying, all those are false/useless, by doing of which you forget Parmatma.
naanak say-ee Dhan jinaa pirharhee sach si-o. ||2||
Satguru ji is saying those who are in love with Parmatma, they are blessed, fortunate.
pa-orhee.
sad balihaaree tinaa je suntay har kathaa.
Satguru is saying, he is sacrifice to those who listen to the katha about Parmatma. That katha which unites one, brings closer to Parmatma.
In Anand Sahib, the following line appears
suntay puneet kahtay pavit satgur rahi-aa bharpooray.
Kathakaar is saying that those who listen to katha are 3 times better then those who speak katha.
Kathakaar says, This is because in listening the one pointedness of the mind is required to listen to the katha.
pooray tay parDhaan nivaaveh parabh mathaa.
Satguru is giving the title of Pardhaan/Chief/Perfect, to those who bow in front of Parmatma. Pradhaan are those who are humble within, consider themselves lowly. Those who are egoists are not pardhaan.
har jas likheh bay-ant soheh say hathaa.
Some wear fashionable rings, Kathkaar is saying these days, the new fashion among women is to have long nails. To make their hands look more beautiful.
Satguru ji Paatshaah, is saying
Those hands which write the praises of Parmatma are beautiful.
Hindus, before starting any work, they used to write Om.
Sikhs write IK Onkaar before starting any work.
charan puneet pavitar chaaleh parabh pathaa.
Those feet are pure, which walk towards the path of Parmatma. Those which walk towards the temple of God, those which go towards Gurudwara.
santaaN sang uDhaar saglaa dukh lathaa. ||14||
In the company of the saints of God, all ones pains and suffering leave.
Kathakaar is saying, there is about some time left, please do vichaar of the shabad in Bihaagraa raag by
Guru Ram Das.

Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee ki fateh
King of Kings, Ocean of mercy, Satguru Arjan Sahib ji has blessed us with hukamnama updesh
This type of shabad falls into two categories.
1. Those people who do abhiyaas of this shabad, they will be protected by Parmatma.
2. This Shabad is indicating that Parmatma is the protector of his devotees.
There is an incident during the times of
Guru Arjan Sahib ji, when a person was sent from the mughal emperor to arrest
Guru ji.
That person was not able reach
Guru ji, because on his way he had died.
People asked
Guru ji, "What type of Shabad have you read? that the person on his way was not able to reach you and died".
Guru ji said, "It is the kirpa of Parmatma, Parmatma is the saviour of his devotees".
Lets absorb the message.
Satinaam Vaahiguroo
Dhanaasree mehlaa 5.
In Dhanaasree Raag,
Guru Arjan Sahib ji is giving us updesh
har har leenay sant ubaar.
Vaahiguroo, you are the support of your devotees, and you protect them.
har kay daas kee chitvai buri-aa-ee tis hee ka-o fir maar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Vaahiguroo, Those who plot and plan against your devotees, they themselves get affected with it, and the devotees are saved by your kirpa.
Kathakaar is saying about Hari Naryan Granth, in it says,
There was one landowner and a king in the same city, the landowner had bad thoughts about the king in his mind, so it did happen, that the king
also came to know of this landowner, and he also had bad thoughts against him.
Then one day, the king fell sick, and the landowner having mercy in his mind, thought good about the king, thought he was such a generous
merciful king.
vice versa, the thoughts in the mind about the king also changed, and he thought kind things for the landowner.
Kathakaar is saying, even though they never talked to eachother, thoughts about another person reaches that person, doesnt matter what distance
they are.
Guru ji tells us, Do not keep bad thoughts for anyone in your mind.
jan kaa aap sahaa-ee ho-aa nindak bhaagay haar.
Who is our real support? Who do we depend on? Who is the giver behind all? Who is unseen and seen in all diversity?
Vaahiguroo, you are the support of your devotees, the slanderer has been humbled, losing with the devotees.
Vaahiguroo, in this world and the world beyond, we have no support but you. Please do kirpa and make us remember you always.
Kathakaar is giving an example, about the state of nindak, and how beneficial they can be to us.
The grandfather of Ram Chandra in Ramayana, was Raja Aj.
Aj, like his father Ragh used to donate everytime at
Amrit vela to the sadhus saints.
One day, Raja Aj after finishing donating, and running out of food for sadhus, was approached by a sadhu, who asked for donation.
Raja Aj said in a hurry, I am done donating, come tommorrow.
The Sadhu, said he has to spend the night here, please give something today.
Aj : "I dont have to pay off your loan, Go away"
Sadhu: "I will not go away without receiving anything"
This Sahdu was a real mahapurush, and a saint.
Aj was standing in a horse barn, and all there was lidh/horse dung all around.
Aj : I have lidh/horse dung. I can give you that
Sadhu : If you want to give lidh, then go ahead, give it.
Aj put a pile of lidh in the wrap of his cloth.
Sadhu said, "God bless you, may this charity of yours, increase by leaps and bounds"
==
Later on, after some months, Raja Aj, went for hunting, and he came across the residence of that same saint,
who he had donated horse dung that morning.
Aj saw, there were big hills formed out of horse dung all over the place.
Aj shocked seeing all this, asked the sadhu about it.
Sadhu said, this is the boon of your donation, God has truly blessed you with hills of horse dung, what you donate you get back in return. Now
this will have to be eaten by you.
Aj asked the sadhu, What he should do to get rid of not eating the lidh/horse dung.
Sadhu said, Nindak's can decrease your load, those who do your ninda, will eat this horse dung.
That day, Raja Aj, went into the house of a prostitute, and said "my daughter, I need your help, please walk with me through the town today."
Seeing Raja Aj, with the prostitute walking together, the people of the town said all types of things, slandering him, having a queen wife at
home, and this shameful person is walking with a prostitute.
Due to ninda, This greatly reduced the hills of horse dung that were formed, as those nindaks had to eat it. But even then a small amount of it
was left.
Raja Aj, asked the Sadhu, why hasnt that small amount of horse lidh gone?
Sadhu said, "It is the same amount you donated, this amount you will have to eat it. What you give you are destined to get back also"
From that day, Raja Aj, everyday he used to eat small amounts of that lidh, and grieve over his mistake of donating lidh to the saint.
bharmat bharmat oohaaN hee moo-ay baahurh garihi na manjhaar. ||1||
The slanderer's minds are torn and death overtakes them and they return not to their homes.
naanak saran pari-o dukh bhanjan gun gaavai sadaa apaar.
Nanak has sought the refuge of God, the destroyer of Pain, and sings his infinite praise.
nindak kaa mukh kaalaa ho-aa deen dunee-aa kai darbaar. ||2||15||
The slanderers reputation is blackened in this world and the world beyond in the court of God.
Kathakaar is saying there is some time left, doing katha of Shabad in Bihaagraa Raag by
Guru Tegh Bahadur ji.
In my own words..
Satguru ji says, this mind is like the tail of a dog, no matter how much good advice is given to it, it never wants to walk that path.
Then how can this foolish mind be made to follow the path of gursikhi.
Satguru ji is saying, daily keep your commitment, do naam simran even for less time, but do it. In this way you will come on the path.
Summary:
Satguru ji is telling us that only Parmatma is our real support, we should know that if we seek his support, by remembering him, by loving him
Noone can do any harm to us.
Satguru ji is telling us to stop ninda, and have good thoughts about all.
Please forgive mistakes.
Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo jee kee fateh
