This shabad is difficult. I am not sure what to think. The Lord who created everything, then revealed himself. How? Blessing us with understanding, inspiring us with the word of His Shabad. Inspiring us to be pleased by the shabad. Erasing our sins, uniting us with Him.

For thirty-six ages, there was utter darkness. Then, the Lord revealed Himself.

He Himself created the entire universe. He Himself blessed it with understanding.

He created the Simritees and the Shaastras; He calculates the accounts of virtue and vice.

He alone understands, whom the Lord inspires to understand and to be pleased with the True Word of the Shabad.

A Persian Saint tells us:
He is beyond comprehension, apprehension, conception,
and even conjecture. He outstrips the faculties of sight, hearing,
and understanding. All the glories that one can sing of him all his life
cannot do any justice to him.

He is the King of Spirituality, and we, groveling like insects in the muck of the world, cannot know him and his greatness.

Maulana Rumi says:
If I were to sing praises of His countless blessings till Eternity,
I can hardly say anything of them. Whatever we say of him, we perforce do so at an intellectual level, which has a very narrow and limited scope.

All our efforts in this direction are bound to discredit him rather than to give him any credit.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji says:
Thou art a King, and I address Thee as an "Elder-Man";
Far from doing any honor to Thee, I bring Thee discredit.

Dhan Guru Arjan Dev Ji addresses Waheguru as king many times. He uses words like: Rai, Raiaa, Sultaan, raaja, patshah, Sahu, Meera and more.


In the following Gurbani Guru Ji says:

English Translation:
My Friend is the True Supreme King, the King over the heads of kings.
Sitting by His side, we are exalted and beautified; He is the Support of all. ||22||

Sardara123,

This information Namjap Ji has posted is from a Radhasoami Website, he hasn't provided the source, but if you search for main words from the post on google, it will take you right there. I dont think you should rely on it. The possibility of that being 100% correct is very very slim.

I can't recall Siri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Sache Paatshah telling us what ever is stated in that post.

Praise of Guru/God can never be enough, but it can't be considered a discredit, Can It Be? I dont believe it.

I've always been intrigued by the way God is described in near paradoxical terms, showing that he is beyond everything we know and understand... i feel like this emphasizes that he must be known through intuition rather than logic.

Elder-man is an ancient, ancient concept far into Persian culture -- before Islam and before Zoroastrianism. Is that why you are so excited?

NamJap ji you used 2 Persian ideas. Perhaps Guru Arjan Dev is giving us this third analogy as well.

Please give the source and page for your translation for the verses by Guru Arjan Dev? So we can see why gutka's may differ on this phrase "elder man."

Aad Ji,

I want to clarify the word 'discredit'.

And this will help me a lot, If somebody can provide Guru Shabad Gurbani for that Translation.

I just cant relate Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shabads, all that I can recall in my head, to the Translation provided by namjap Ji.

Thanks all who are trying to help.

What's all the commotion about ? Definitely you won't find Persian Saint's bani and Maulana Rumi's verses in a sikh site ?

But all the contents are from ruhanisatsang website which apparently included verses of Guru Arjan Dev Ji also. Yes I overlooked the Page Number which is not given but I was looking at the overall writeup.

Let me explain to you that Ruhanisatsang is an offshoot of Radha Soami - and not Radha Soami. Whatever literature is taken from Sikhism and labeled in another trade mark should not give us a reason to shy away from using the Sikhism part.

Yes, even Sri Granth has two translators which differ in certain intrepretations. Sant Singh Maskeen identified over 30 different translations of SGGS and said that none are wrong.

Thousand apologies for overlooking that the page number was not given.

I think It is Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Shabad,

'Tu Sultaan Kaho Hau mia', mistranslated all together, that's all.

These people take things from here and there and try to fit these into their own ideas. I cant find any of Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shabad, or who knows they also claim things like they do for kabir and others, that they have more available to them, more than that is written in Granth Sahib Ji. I wont worry about this.

I am only looking for the Guru Shabad for that Translation. I dont care who is doing the translation.
