The word Saint for me is not any physically living person of present time, but Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which contains all the teachings of my ten Gurus. My Gurus were all saintly. The wisdom and knowledge contained in ‘Siri Guru Granth Sahib’ dawns on the individual only with the Kripa (Grace i.e. Gurparsadi) of ‘The Sat’. When this happens, the individual gets awakened spiritually. The complete mind (conscious and the deeper layer) of such a person works on the truth contained in Siri Guru Granth Sahib while the person is awake. When this person sleeps, the conscious mind is mostly at rest. Yet, the deeper layers of the mind, which continues to work during sleep, function in accordance with the spirituality that had come to the individual through Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This way the person who lives in remembrance of ‘The Sat’ is spiritually awake during the day and night.

[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 20822, member: 10"] Dear Khalsa Ji, In this post, I share my understanding of the 6th Pauri of 1st Ashtapadee of Sukhmani Sahib. [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]1.

This individual becomes a living expression of kindness, compassion, contentment, honesty, justice and truthful living. Selfless caring and sharing becomes part of this person’s daily routine. Greed, craving of objects of gratification of senses, anger, ego (Ahamkara), attachments, envy, jealousy etc, all departs from the being of such person. Such individual lives within her or his own means. She or he enriches the society by giving more to it than she or he takes from it. The person becomes a Gurmukh.

[/FONT][/SIZE] Those who remember ‘The Sat’, to them I am forever a sacrifice. [B]My understanding:[/B] Guru Sahib, in this sentence emphasizes how much important to ‘The Sat’ the individual is who lives in the remembrance of ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ keeps illuminating the mind of such person and through it her or his being. ‘The Sat’ is all the time shining in them (balihaaree).

[/FONT][/SIZE] Those who remember ‘The Sat’, their faces are pleasant. [B]My understanding:[/B] In this sentence, the word pleasant is not to be taken literally. It does not always imply beautiful features, which are only secondary aspect of the said pleasantness. The face will remain what the nature has given to the individual, yet people will like to come across this face again and again and again.

[/FONT][/SIZE]Those who remember ‘The Sat’, conquer their self. [B]My understanding:[/B] Guru Sahib in this sentence is referring to the self that we create in this material world. Our mind becomes a prisoner of the senses which always keep looking for their own gratification all the time. This way senses hand us over to the vices (greed, lust, envy etc) of this material world.

[/FONT][/SIZE]Those who remember ‘The Sat’ there bliss is intense. [B]My understanding:[/B] The person who lives in the remembrance of ‘The Sat’ has nothing to worry about. This individual does not suffer from any worldly unsatisfied desire. The sway of Naam on individual’s life generate intense joyous in her or his being from within. This is what Guru Sahib tells me through this sentence. [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]8.

[/FONT][/SIZE]Those who remember ‘The Sat’ they live near ‘The Sat’. [B]My understanding:[/B] ‘The Sat’ is the force within us that keeps us alive. Getting attached and involved in worldly entities we move away from ‘The Sat’ within us. When the same individual starts living in remembrance of ‘The Sat’, the natural link between this individual and ‘The Sat gets re-established. The person then become close to ‘The Sat’. This is what Guru Sahib conveys to me in this sentence. [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]9.

[/FONT][/SIZE]By the grace of the Saints, the person remains awake and aware all the day and night. [B]My understanding:[/B] Here the word awake is not to be taken physically. Divine people too sleep during the nights and other periods of rest. It is the spiritual awakening that Guru Sahib is referring to. The word Saint for me is not any physically living person of present time, but Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which contains all the teachings of my ten Gurus. My Gurus were all saintly. The wisdom and knowledge contained in ‘Siri Guru Granth Sahib’ dawns on the individual only with the Kripa (Grace i.e. Gurparsadi) of ‘The Sat’. When this happens, the individual gets awakened spiritually. The complete mind (conscious and the deeper layer) of such a person works on the truth contained in Siri Guru Granth Sahib while the person is awake. When this person sleeps, the conscious mind is mostly at rest. Yet, the deeper layers of the mind, which continues to work during sleep, function in accordance with the spirituality that had come to the individual through Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This way the person who lives in remembrance of ‘The Sat’ is spiritually awake during the day and night. This is what Guru Sahib has said in this sentence. [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]10.

[B]My understanding:[/B] Guru Sahib says that the destiny of the individual becomes complete when she or he starts living in remembrance of ‘The Sat’. This is the state of what is referred to as ‘Simran’ in Siri Guru Granth Sahib. From this state onward the person becomes the living expression of ‘The Shabad’. The person is now a willing instrument of ‘The Sat’. Her or his destiny in this human birth is complete now. With this I close this post. With love and respect for all. Amarpal Singh [/QUOTE]
