**********************************************************************
This profound question in the mind of man will ever remain unanswered because we can only realize Waheguru but we cannot tell what He is. In Gurbani,there is a simple example to explain why no one can answer this question. A mute person, after tasting sugar, knows the taste, enjoys it and expresses it through a smile. But being unable to speak, he cannot tell a word about what sugar is like. Waheguru is love,hence immensely sweet, many times more sweet than anything in this world. Holy persons love Waheguru,they enjoy the sweetness but cannot say anything by which we can know and understand Waheguru. There is no language and no thing available in this world which can be quoted to describe Waheguru. Therefore,only similes, however incomplete or unrepresentative they may be, have been offered by holy persons. That is the best they can do to explain their mystic experiences of the spiritual world (Waheguru) to those living in this mundane world.

The following are some Of the popular hymns of Fareed Saab ji.

Chaar gavaya hand ke, chaar gavaya samm
lekha rab mangesiya, tu aaho kehre kamm



Buddha hoya sheikh farid, kamban laggi deh
Je soh varhya jeevna, bhi tan hosi kheh



Paar paraye besna, saain mujhe na deh
je tu aaivein rakhsi, jeeoh sariro leh



Farida, jini kammi naahin gun, te kammde visaar
mat sarminda theevahi, saain de darbar



Je jana til thodade, sambhal buk bharee
je jana sauh nandada, ta thoda maan kareen



Jo teh maran mukiyahn, tinah na maare ghumm
aapande gahr jaaiyeh, pair tinah de chumm



Deikh farida jo theeya, daadhi hoyee bhoor
aggo nedha aaya, pichcha rahya door



Deikh farida je theeya, sakkar hoyee vissa
saain bajho aapande, vedan kahiye kiss



Farida, jin loyan jag mohya, se loyan mein ditth
kajjal ret na sehndya, se pankhi sue bahitth



Farida, khaak na nindiye, khaaku jevadh na koye
jeevadeya pera tale, moya upar hoye



Je tu akal lateef, kaale likh na lekh
aapande giribaan mein, sir neevahn kar deikh



Jungle jungle kya bhavein, van kanda mode
vasi rab hiyaliye, jungle kya dhoonde



Farida, daryav kande baghlaa, betha kail kare
kail karende hanj nu, achinte baaj paye



Baaj paye tis rab de, kailahnvisariyahn
jo man chit na chete san, so gaali rab kiyahn

Re: Farida Bure da Bhala kar

Sikh80 veer ji you did not post the fist Salok completely (as well as many of the others). Please quote complete saloks per spn TOS as otherwise interpretations have great chance to mis-lead or not bring out the true essence in an upfront way.

Here it is my understanding in blue of the first salok you posted,

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:UseFELayout/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->
ਫਰੀਦਾ ਬੇ ਨਿਵਾਜਾ ਕੁਤਿਆ ਏਹ ਭਲੀ ਰੀਤਿ
फरीदा बे निवाजा कुतिआ एह न भली रीति ॥
Farīḏā be nivājā kuṯi▫ā eh na bẖalī rīṯ.
Fareed: O faithless dog, this is not a good way of life.
ਹੇ ਅਰਦਾਸ-ਵਿਹੁਣ ਕੂਕਰ, ਫਰੀਦ! ਚੰਗੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਇਹ ਆਦਤ।
ਰੀਤਿ = ਤਰੀਕਾ, ਜੀਊਣ ਦਾ ਤਰੀਕਾ।

ਹੇਫਰੀਦ! ਜੋ ਬੰਦੇ ਨਿਮਾਜ਼ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੇ (ਭਾਵ, ਜੋ ਬੰਦਗੀ ਵਲੋਂ ਗ਼ਾਫ਼ਿਲ ਹਨ) ਉਹਕੁੱਤਿਆਂ (ਸਮਾਨ) ਹਨ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਇਹ ਜੀਊਣ ਦਾ ਤਰੀਕਾ ਚੰਗਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ,
Farid, not doing prayers is not a good habit and liken it to a dog

ਕਬਹੀ ਚਲਿ ਆਇਆ ਪੰਜੇ ਵਖਤ ਮਸੀਤਿ ੭੦॥
कबही चलि न आइआ पंजे वखत मसीति ॥७०॥
Kabhī cẖal na ā▫i▫ā panje vakẖaṯ masīṯ. ||70||
You never come to the mosque for your five daily prayers. ||70||
ਤੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਭੀ ਨਮਾਜ਼ ਲਈ ਪੰਜੇ ਵਕਤ ਮਸਜਦ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਇਆ।
ਕਬ ਹੀ = ਕਦੇ ਭੀ। ਚਲਿ ਨ ਆਇਆ = ਚੱਲ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਏ, ਉੱਦਮ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਏ। ਬੇਨਿਵਾਜਾ = ਜੋ ਨਿਮਾਜ਼ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੇ, ਜੋ ਬੰਦਗੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ ॥੭੦॥

(ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ) ਕਦੇ ਭੀ ਉੱਦਮ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਪੰਜੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਮਸੀਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦੇ (ਭਾਵ, ਜੋ ਕਦੇ ਭੀ ਘੱਟ ਤੋਂ ਘੱਟ ਪੰਜ ਵੇਲੇ ਰੱਬ ਨੂੰ ਯਾਦ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ) ॥੭੦॥
Never came by five times to the mosque


ESSENCE:Farid ji talk of contemplation ignored. So the object is to not forget the creator and be so very disciplined about it too.

This concept is further re-inforced in rest of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the form of remembering and be always aware of the creator and creation while living in consonance.
I do plan to in the future, if I have the energy, to post all of Sheikh Farid ji's bani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which I have done the first draft translation of my understanding. Farid ji's bani is very poignant and direct in the use of metaphors so wonderfully employed to drive home the wisdom.

All errors are mine and I stand corrected.

Sat Sri Akal.
