[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 82274, member: 5290"] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial Black]Essence Of Paudi-1 [B][FONT=Book Antiqua]When one proceeds further it is realized that one can assign many meanings.I was earlier stuck up with as to the exact meaning that could be assigned to the following two lines of the Paudi-1.On re-reading it I find that these lines contain the essence of the Paudi-1[/FONT][/B] [/FONT] kv sicAwrw hoeIAY ikv kUVY qutY [U]pwil[/U] ] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](1-6, jpu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua] So how can you become truthful?

We should lead the life as per HIS hukum or will. What is the will of the Lord is not known to us , the mortals, who are engrossed in Maya and the illusion of the same. Bani do state that we are all poor creatures and are engaged in the activity as per That Divine will. The position of creature has been explained by the helplessness of the creature as he is not in a position to anything without His grace. [/FONT][/B] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]ikAw hm jIA jMq bycwry brin n swkh eyk romweI ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](822-11, iblwvlu, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]What am I? Just a poor living being. I cannot even describe one of Your hairs, O Lord.[/FONT] [B][FONT=Book Antiqua]Total submission is also expected of a seeker: [/FONT][/B] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]mY nwhI pRB sBu ikCu qyrw ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](827-16, iblwvlu, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]I am nothing, God; everything is Yours. [B] One finds many expressions of this nature where it has been stated that the mortals are poor creatures engaged in whatever is deemed best by the Almighty. We do not have any power to do anything of our own.The destiny governs our actions and we gather the Karmas that are to be repaid or settled in the lives to come till we are able to break this cycle of rebirths. Expressing the above Guru sahibs have stated the following: [/B] [/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]nwnk jo iqsu BwvY so QIAY ienw jMqw vis ikCu nwih ]8]4] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](55-18, isrIrwgu, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]O Nanak, whatever pleases His Will comes to pass. Nothing is in the hands of these beings. ||8||4|| [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]nwnk jMq vjwey vwjih ijqu BwvY iqqu rwih cleIAw ]8]2]5] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](834-11, iblwvlu, mÚ 4)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]O Nanak, we are the instruments upon which He plays; as He wills, so is the path we take. ||8||2||5|| [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]ikAw vycwrw jMqu jw Awip BulwieAw ]8] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](707-16, jYqsrI, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]What can the [I]poor helpless creature[/I] do? The [I]Lord Himself has deluded [/I]him. ||8||[/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][B][FONT=Book Antiqua] In the wider context, how should we find out as to what is HIS will according to which we have to work and lead this life, the answer lies in some other lines of bani as well. The above line is reflective of the power of Almighty and the helplessness of the creatures, the mortals. What is HIS will and Hukum? This is still illusory. One can become sachiara by accepting HIs will. [/FONT][/B][FONT=Book Antiqua][B]One has following line to ponder upon[/B]:[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]khY nwnku Awip krqw Awpy hukmu buJwey ]26] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](920-14, rwmklI, mÚ 3)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] S[FONT=Book Antiqua]ays Nanak, He Himself is the Creator; He Himself reveals the Hukam of His Command. ||26||[/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua] [FONT=Book Antiqua] [B] Till we are not able to understand the Will , we shall all be miserable:[/B][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]jb lgu hukmu n bUJqw qb hI lau duKIAw ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](400-16, Awsw, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]As long as he does not understand the Command of God's Will, he remains miserable[/FONT]. [FONT=Book Antiqua] It is through Guru that we come to understand HIS will. [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]swcy gur qy hukmu pCwnu ]2] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](414-8, Awsw, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]Through the True Guru, the Command of the Lord's Will is realized. ||2|| [B][FONT=Book Antiqua] We all are blessed to have Guru Granth sahib ji to provide us with the understanding and guidance. I have summed up HIS will as per my understanding as follows.[/FONT][/B] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]suK duK sm kir nwmu n Cofau Awpy bKis imlwvxhwrw ]1] rhwau ] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](416-3, Awsw, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]I look upon pleasure and pain alike; I shall not forsake the Naam, the Name of the Lord. The Lord Himself forgives me, and blends me with Himself. ||1||Pause||[/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=Blue][I]And[/I][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]burw Blw jy sm kir jwxY ien ibiD swihbu rmqu rhY ]8] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](432-18, Awsw, mÚ 1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]One who recognizes bad and good as one and the same - in this way he is absorbed into the Lord and Master. ||8|| [COLOR=Blue][I] And[/I][/COLOR] [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] hrK sog duhu mwih inrwlw krxYhwru pCwqw ]2] [COLOR=green][FONT=AnmolLipiHeavy](498-1, gUjrI, mÚ 5)[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]He remains unaffected by both fortune and misfortune, and he recognizes the Creator Lord. ||2|| [B] There is clear cut meaning that one can assign to these lines. If one is not disturbed by the pain and is not overwhelmed by the pleasure one should have to be in the state where it can be said that one has been able to understand HIS will. It is one of the important qualifications for attaining the state of [I]Equipoise[/I]. It is in this state that one reaches 'sahaj' as well. It is in this state that everything appears to be the desire and wish of the creator and everything seems to happen naturally. The divine will finds its meaning when we are able to appreciate that whatever is happening is as per His orders and we do not then have any anguish or pain or anxiety that are stated to be the part of lower consciousness. I shall finish this by the following beautiful shabad.
