He was the truth from the beginning [that cannot be defined as no one knows as to when the creation came into being.] He was the truth .[when this world was not with in ‘time’ and when it entered into the realm of ‘time’ and various ‘yugas’ were defined as per the time.i.e Jugaad, He was truth] and shall be the truth in future. [as well]</span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">The lines 3-6 would not convey anything specific if the lines are read in isolation. This is as per the understanding of the author. The entire Paudi gets a significant meaning if one reaches the 7th line wherein the word ‘Sachiara’ appears.[<em><u>Kiv Sachiara Hoi aya kiv Kure Tute paal</u></em>].This is the line from which one can work out the meanings that can be assigned to the previous/earlier lines. The entire purpose of the Paudi is to arrive at the answer to the self imposed question as to How should one become ‘Sachiara’</span><span style="color: #080844"> or truthful and shed off the Kurh. </span></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The Paudi is summed up in the answer to the question i.e. as to how to become truthful. The line no 8 contains the answer to this question contained in the line no.7 i.e. One should lead this life as per the Hukum of the Lord/creator. There is no definition of Hukum contained in the Paudi. As per the Sikh philosophy everything takes place as per HIS Hukum and/or HIS will. Nothing can happen without this. He is powerful and is the causes of causes and He need not consult any one before taking up anything. He is also stated to be the Architect Of the destiny of the individuals.</p><p> </p><p></p><p> <strong><span style="color: #000000">Let us examine the rest of the lines i.e 3,4 5 and 6</span></strong></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">3.socY soic n hoveI jy socI lK vwr ] <span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'">(1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">4.cupY cup n hoveI jy lwie rhw ilv qwr ] <span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'">(1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)</span></span></span></p><p> </p><p> Thus one cannot purify Himself or his mind by taking many cleansing baths. Further the mind does not become peaceful even if it tends to be in His constant/continuous devotion as the mind that is not clean cannot get the benefit of HIS meditation. In nutshell a mind that is not peaceful shall never get peace. In the above lines the reference that is made to mind is, probably, implied as no where in these lines the word mind has been stated. I have also presumed it to be so. However, one would be free to arrive at the meaning if it fits in the entire pattern of the Paudi.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">5.BuiKAw BuK n auqrI jy bMnw purIAw Bwr ] <span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'">(1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">6.shs isAwxpw lK hoih q iek n clY nwil ] </span><span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">(1-6, jpu, mÚ 1</span>)</span></span></p><p> </p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">The above lines also are independent and the translation can be done accordingly without disturbing the meaning of the other lines. On the interpretation as per the existing translations and the interpretations the line 6 would imply that the Human mind is full of greed and even it does not get satisfied even if the mortal is blessed with loads of the cities. It would imply that even if the man is made the ruler of many cities /load of cities his mind shall never be satisfied. There is no limit to the human desires and hopes and expectations. In this material world one never finds satisfaction. Human mind asks for more and more.</span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">Similarly line No.6 deals with the human cleverness. Even if the one may be very clever or intelligent it is of no avail. The meaning of this line if looked at independent of the entire Paudi will not be significant. The meaning gets projected if one reads the Bani and finds that the tendency of the mind that shows cleverness in finding ways and means to avoid the path of reaching HIM is of no avail. It has also been advised that one should shed off cleverness and should listen to the Guru’s word and follow them to reach the stage of Nirvaan /salvation/liberation that is stated to be the purpose of this life that one gets after being blessed. Thus one’s cleverness is no avail to the individuals and one should not indulge in this kind of technique. One does not get the liberation by sheer talks and one is required to work for the salvation. </span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> As a side note it can be stated that the entire bani has been stated to be the word of the Lord.</p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"><span style="color: #000000">siqgur kI bwxI siq siq kir jwxhu gurisKhu hir krqw Awip muhhu kFwey ] </span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'">(308-5, gauVI)</span></span></span></p><p> [O GurSikhs, know that the Bani, the Word of the True Guru, is true, absolutely true. The Creator Lord Himself causes the Guru to chant it.]</p><p> </p><p></p><p> <strong>4.Concept Of Hukum and Nadar</strong></p><p></p><p> The concept Of Hukum and Nadar [Grace] are unique in Sikhism. Although it is not unusal to find the concept of Grace/nadar in almost all the religions.Human being acts as per HIS will and order. No one can do anything without these two factors. The mortal has been stated to be a ‘poor creature’ at many places in the bani. This would show the sheer helplessness of the mortals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">ikAw hm jIA jMq bycwry brin n swkh eyk romweI ] <span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'">(822-11, iblwvlu, mÚ 5)</span></span></span></p><p> What am I?

[FONT=AnmolUniPr]ਫੁਰਮਾਨ=[/FONT]Hukum[[COLOR=#080844]Order, judgement][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#000000]3.Analysing the Meaning of the paudi[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000]The lines 1 and 2 speak about the self existent and saibhung nature of the creator. He was the truth from the beginning [that cannot be defined as no one knows as to when the creation came into being.] He was the truth .[when this world was not with in ‘time’ and when it entered into the realm of ‘time’ and various ‘yugas’ were defined as per the time.i.e Jugaad, He was truth] and shall be the truth in future. [as well][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The lines 3-6 would not convey anything specific if the lines are read in isolation. This is as per the understanding of the author. The entire Paudi gets a significant meaning if one reaches the 7th line wherein the word ‘Sachiara’ appears.[[I][U]Kiv Sachiara Hoi aya kiv Kure Tute paal[/U][/I]].This is the line from which one can work out the meanings that can be assigned to the previous/earlier lines. The entire purpose of the Paudi is to arrive at the answer to the self imposed question as to How should one become ‘Sachiara’[/COLOR][COLOR=#080844] or truthful and shed off the Kurh. [/COLOR] The Paudi is summed up in the answer to the question i.e. as to how to become truthful. The line no 8 contains the answer to this question contained in the line no.7 i.e. One should lead this life as per the Hukum of the Lord/creator. There is no definition of Hukum contained in the Paudi. As per the Sikh philosophy everything takes place as per HIS Hukum and/or HIS will. Nothing can happen without this. He is powerful and is the causes of causes and He need not consult any one before taking up anything. He is also stated to be the Architect Of the destiny of the individuals. [B][COLOR=#000000]Let us examine the rest of the lines i.e 3,4 5 and 6[/COLOR][/B] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]3.socY soic n hoveI jy socI lK vwr ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]4.cupY cup n hoveI jy lwie rhw ilv qwr ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] Thus one cannot purify Himself or his mind by taking many cleansing baths. Further the mind does not become peaceful even if it tends to be in His constant/continuous devotion as the mind that is not clean cannot get the benefit of HIS meditation. In nutshell a mind that is not peaceful shall never get peace. In the above lines the reference that is made to mind is, probably, implied as no where in these lines the word mind has been stated. I have also presumed it to be so. However, one would be free to arrive at the meaning if it fits in the entire pattern of the Paudi. [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]5.BuiKAw BuK n auqrI jy bMnw purIAw Bwr ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](1-5, jpu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]6.shs isAwxpw lK hoih q iek n clY nwil ] [/FONT][COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy][FONT=Gurbaniwebthick](1-6, jpu, mÚ 1[/FONT])[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The above lines also are independent and the translation can be done accordingly without disturbing the meaning of the other lines. On the interpretation as per the existing translations and the interpretations the line 6 would imply that the Human mind is full of greed and even it does not get satisfied even if the mortal is blessed with loads of the cities. It would imply that even if the man is made the ruler of many cities /load of cities his mind shall never be satisfied. There is no limit to the human desires and hopes and expectations. In this material world one never finds satisfaction. Human mind asks for more and more.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Similarly line No.6 deals with the human cleverness. Even if the one may be very clever or intelligent it is of no avail. The meaning of this line if looked at independent of the entire Paudi will not be significant. The meaning gets projected if one reads the Bani and finds that the tendency of the mind that shows cleverness in finding ways and means to avoid the path of reaching HIM is of no avail. It has also been advised that one should shed off cleverness and should listen to the Guru’s word and follow them to reach the stage of Nirvaan /salvation/liberation that is stated to be the purpose of this life that one gets after being blessed. Thus one’s cleverness is no avail to the individuals and one should not indulge in this kind of technique. One does not get the liberation by sheer talks and one is required to work for the salvation. [/COLOR] As a side note it can be stated that the entire bani has been stated to be the word of the Lord.

The Creator Lord Himself causes the Guru to chant it.] [B]4.Concept Of Hukum and Nadar[/B] The concept Of Hukum and Nadar [Grace] are unique in Sikhism. Although it is not unusal to find the concept of Grace/nadar in almost all the religions.Human being acts as per HIS will and order. No one can do anything without these two factors. The mortal has been stated to be a ‘poor creature’ at many places in the bani. This would show the sheer helplessness of the mortals.
