So we can say that the main mission was of the Gurus’ was to join the world with Gurbani which in return teaches humanity about Naam and causes for humanities’ salvation. Daas would like to end this post be saying that he thinks it is very important to know of the Guru’s history as well as understanding what the Guru has told us. Daas can say these days that some youth jump to the deep end before even understanding the basic concepts of Sikhi and the foundations of Sikhi. The foundation of Sikhi is Nimerta (humility), this is because it is only through Nimerta that one can accept that Guru is above them and that one must give his head (mind) to Guru Sahib for Naam and the Piram Ras of Amrit. Without a doubt daas can say that when one reads the Gurus history from even a basic book (with a decent scholar) then one will realize the Piyaar and Piyaas Gursikhs had in those times for Guru Sahib which we lack now. Also history records how Gursikhs where ready to do anything for Guru Sahib and they performed a lot of devout Seva which in return they attained the highest states of Nimerta and Naam. The best example for this is Guru Arjan Dev jee when he was separated from Guru Ram Daas Jee for along time and couldn’t return from a wedding after a long while until Guru Sahib gave Hukam. Even though Guru Arjan was getting very famous through Parchaar, the pangs of love for Guru Sahib where too great and therefore wrote letters to Guru Ram Daas jee saying ‘Mera Man lochai gur Darshan, Bilap karai Chatrikh kee niyai’ meaning ‘My mind longs for the sight of the Guru, it cries out like a thirsty Rain-bird.’ This was the true piyaas and Bairaag felt by the Guru. We should also feel the same thirst by understanding why the Gurus came to Earth and only Gurbani is the best way for this as one will understand what is Naam and Guru Sahib will shower His blessings and give us that Naam which will be the cause of our salvation. So let us be showered with blessings from Guru Sahib and receive this beautiful Naam of Guru Sahib.
