[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 138133, member: 12855"] This is my understanding of the shabad. The shabad starts by praising Ik Oankar and asking for blessings so that I may always remember You and act according to your will. I sing songs of your greatness and think your will sweet. O Waheguru have compassion on me, pity me as without Your support, I have no-one. O indescribable, limitless, boundless lord of everything, you have given me this life, this body and soul. Prays Nanak, I am very foolish, destitute, weak, lowly, restless and immature without you and seek your shelter to escape rebirth. In the company of Gurmukhs, Parmesar (God) is found so we can always sing your praises (and live as Gurmukhs too). I hope that the teachings of your devotees become enshrined in my mind and body as this can make even the fallen pure. By staying in the company of those who have found God, the immoral become spiritually alive. Those who are coloured with naam become worthy of receiving Her gifts, which keep on increasing. Those who live by the word of Gurbani and incorporate into their entire being, receive miraculous strength (inner strength like the shaheeds had to withstand torture) and treasures (spiritual treasures). Nanak prays as Gurmukh friends are only met with luck Those who are always connected to Ik Oankar, the the truth are the bankers of full stores of naam, benefiting from singing Her praises. Those who are connected to Ik Oankaar are not affected by lust, anger or greed. Nor can anyone subject them to their own will by force as they are only in a close relationship with Waheguru and accept no other. They remain absorbed in the love of Waheguru. Ik Oankar is their support and they have a need to connect with Her. Nanak prays that whoever comes close to the naam should always remain a good banker. Nanak says that we should always be following the one by whose creation we are surrounded. We must never let the omnipresent Lord slip from our mind. One who is successful in this will not be stressed out by illness, sadness or fear. They have the Guru's help and blessing to cross the world ocean (difficult life). They have their good deeds from their lifetime written on their foreheads. They are infused with Chardi Kala and their minds are at peace, they have found the limitless God. Nanak prays that his wish to connect with Ik Oankar will also be granted by following and singing the naam To summarise, the 1st pauri talks about why we need Ik Oankaar's support. Our mind is lowly etc as it is filled with lust, anger and greed-thats why. The 2nd pauri explains how to remedy this. The 3rd pauri details the rewards and the 4th pauri reminds us of the best way to live [IMG]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/images/smilies/sikhsmileys/Big%20smile%20mata%20ani.gif[/IMG] Let's have some chardi kala ice cream courtesy of Mai ji icecreamkudi [/QUOTE]
