Duality?

Gurbani conveys a very solid message of JUST ONE. There is no second. Considering a second indicates practice of duality.

Our relationship with God is described as husband and wife. We cant have more than ONE relationship.

ਮਨ ਰੇ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਚੁਕਾਇ ॥
man rae dhoojaa bhaao chukaae ||
O mind, give up the love of duality.


ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਦੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਮੁਠੀ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
dhhrig jeevan dhohaaganee muthee dhoojai bhaae ||
The life of the discarded bride is cursed. She is deceived by the love of duality.

Duality keeps us in the cycle of birth and death:

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਕੋ ਨਾ ਮਿਲੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥
dhoojai bhaae ko naa milai fir fir aavai jaae ||
No one merges with Him through the love of duality; over and over again, they come and go in reincarnation.

Without loving the Guru our condition is something like this:

ਸਬਦੈ ਸਾਦੁ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਲਾਗੇ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
sabadhai saadh n aaeiou laagae dhoojai bhaae ||
They do not savor the Taste of the Shabad; they are attached to the love of duality.

ਲਖ ਚਉਰਾਸੀਹ ਫੇਰੁ ਪਇਆ ਕਾਮਣਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
lakh chouraaseeh faer paeiaa kaaman dhoojai bhaae ||
The soul-bride in love with duality goes around the wheel of reincarnation, through 8.4 million incarnations.

There is no difference between God and Guru/Brahmgyani/Realized Soul. After the light merges into light, no difference remain. Nobody can tear them apart.

ਉਪਜਿਆ ਤਤੁ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਸਾਹੁਰੈ ਪੇਈਐ ਇਕੁ ਹਰਿ ਬਲਿ ਰਾਮ ਜੀਉ ॥
oupajiaa thath giaan saahurai paeeeai eik har bal raam jeeo ||
The essence of spiritual wisdom has welled up; in this world, and the next, the One Lord is pervading. I am a sacrifice to the Lord.


ਬ੍ਰਹਮੈ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਸਾਕੈ ਭਿੰਨ ਕਰਿ ਬਲਿ ਰਾਮ ਜੀਉ ॥
brehamai breham miliaa koe n saakai bhinn kar bal raam jeeo ||
When God meets the God within the self, no one can separate them. I am a sacrifice to the Lord.


ਬਿਸਮੁ ਪੇਖੈ ਬਿਸਮੁ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਬਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਨਦਰੀ ਆਇਆ ॥
bisam paekhai bisam suneeai bisamaadh nadharee aaeiaa ||
I gaze upon the Wondrous Lord, and listen to the Wondrous Lord; the Wondrous Lord has come into my vision.


ਜਲਿ ਥਲਿ ਮਹੀਅਲਿ ਪੂਰਨ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥
jal thhal meheeal pooran suaamee ghatt ghatt rehiaa samaaeiaa ||
The Perfect Lord and Master is pervading the water, the land and the sky, in each and every heart.


ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਪਜਿਆ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਏ ॥
jis thae oupajiaa this maahi samaaeiaa keemath kehan n jaaeae ||
I have merged again into the One from whom I originated. The value of this cannot be described.


ਜਿਸ ਕੇ ਚਲਤ ਨ ਜਾਹੀ ਲਖਣੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਧਿਆਏ ॥੪॥੨॥
jis kae chalath n jaahee lakhanae naanak thisehi dhhiaaeae ||4||2||
Nanak meditates on Him. ||4||2||

There is no difference between a realized soul and the one who is realized:). No one can separate them.

ਜਲ ਤੇ ਤਰੰਗ ਤਰੰਗ ਤੇ ਹੈ ਜਲੁ ਕਹਨ ਸੁਨਨ ਕਉ ਦੂਜਾ ॥੧॥
jal thae tharang tharang thae hai jal kehan sunan ko dhoojaa ||1||
From the water, the waves rise up, and from the waves, the water. They are only different by figures of speech. ||1||


No duality is allowed on the Spiritual path. Recognize the One.

ਜਿਨੀ ਇਕੁ ਪਛਾਣਿਆ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਚੁਕਾਇ ॥
jinee eik pashhaaniaa dhoojaa bhaao chukaae ||
Those who recognize the One renounce the love of duality.


Shared with the Sangat IN LOVE OF WAHEGURU.
Good Luck.

Really beautiful. The message is so clear.
