Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib is overwhelmed by the immenseness of ‘The Sat’ and says that he cannot be sacrificed even once for ‘Karta Purakh’. In a way Guru Sahib has conveyed the limited and smallness of human existence.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The use of word ‘Sacrifice’ needs elaboration. Sacrifice is what we offer as homage to some one superior; it can be any thing. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In Japji Sahib, Guru Sahib is expressing what he felt from the depth of his heart and soul. Guru Sahib is stating that even if he dedicates his whole live to the cause of spirituality, it will not be enough. This way he is not using his life for his own use but for the benefit and uplifting of others, hence the word ‘Sacrifice’.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Here I want to mention what someone has said ‘we move towards our potential when we turn our learning into action’. Guru Sahib did that long back.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib, not only said that sacrifice of one life is not enough for the task, he made his ‘Jot’ to move from one guru into another. I the process we had nine Gurus in succession after Siri Guru Nanak Dev Jee, before perceivable impact was made towards evolution of the society towards spirituality; ten lives were needed not just one. It is with this realisation the Guru Sahib has stated:</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">vaari-aa na jaavaa ayk vaar.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> I cannot be sacrificed even once. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib repeatedly (ten times) had to sacrifice there lives for the task, once was not enough, it was too little and inadequate. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">These are the sentiments and realisation that I find in what Guru Sahib had said in this sentence. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">11. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">jo quDu BwvY sweI BlI kwr ] </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">jo <u>t</u>u<u>Dh</u> <u>bh</u>aavai saa-ee <u>bh</u>alee kaar.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">What pleases you is the right work.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">12. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">qU sdw slwmiq inrMkwr ]18] </span></span><span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'WebLipiHeavy'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: green"><span style="font-family: 'WebLipiHeavy'"></span></span><u><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">t</span></span></u><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">oo sa<u>d</u>aa salaama<u>t</u> nirankaar. ||18||</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">You ever present formless.</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My learning from this Pauri</u>:</span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The theme of this Pauri is slightly different from the previous Pauri. In the previous Pauri i.e. 17th Pauri, Guru Sahib had emphasised the inability of we humans to comprehend ‘Karta Purakh’ who is immense and unlimited, leading to multiplicity in the method that we humans deploy to reach the ‘Sat’. </span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">In this Pauri i.e. the 18th Guru Sahib has again emphasised how limited we humans are.

In a way Guru Sahib has conveyed the limited and smallness of human existence.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]The use of word ‘Sacrifice’ needs elaboration. Sacrifice is what we offer as homage to some one superior; it can be any thing. [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]In Japji Sahib, Guru Sahib is expressing what he felt from the depth of his heart and soul. Guru Sahib is stating that even if he dedicates his whole live to the cause of spirituality, it will not be enough. This way he is not using his life for his own use but for the benefit and uplifting of others, hence the word ‘Sacrifice’.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Here I want to mention what someone has said ‘we move towards our potential when we turn our learning into action’. Guru Sahib did that long back.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Guru Sahib, not only said that sacrifice of one life is not enough for the task, he made his ‘Jot’ to move from one guru into another. I the process we had nine Gurus in succession after Siri Guru Nanak Dev Jee, before perceivable impact was made towards evolution of the society towards spirituality; ten lives were needed not just one. It is with this realisation the Guru Sahib has stated:[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][font=Tahoma]vaari-aa na jaavaa ayk vaar.[/font][/size] [font=Tahoma][size=3] [/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] I cannot be sacrificed even once. [/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Guru Sahib repeatedly (ten times) had to sacrifice there lives for the task, once was not enough, it was too little and inadequate. [/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]These are the sentiments and realisation that I find in what Guru Sahib had said in this sentence.

In the previous Pauri i.e. 17th Pauri, Guru Sahib had emphasised the inability of we humans to comprehend ‘Karta Purakh’ who is immense and unlimited, leading to multiplicity in the method that we humans deploy to reach the ‘Sat’. [/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman]In this Pauri i.e. the 18th Guru Sahib has again emphasised how limited we humans are. Guru Sahib has focused on the different tendencies that we human have and as a result of these how far we move away from the ‘Sat’.
