[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 79509, member: 35"] Returning home to the Piaaraa after a long absence, let me take a look at the next line in the shabad of Guru Ram Das Dev ji(see Post 1). [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen][COLOR=Red]ਆਪੇ ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰੁ ਹੈ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥[/COLOR] aapae gehir ganbheer hai piaaraa this jaevadd avar n koe || The Beloved Himself is deep and profound and unfathomable; there is no other as great as He.

It is the depth of the Beloved that cannot be understood, because it is unfathomable. It is profound, beyond the ability of our minds to comprehend or even imagine. Guru Ram Das is also saying that He is the greatest, that no one is greater in any dimension the human mind can think of. How does his son Guru Arjan Dev ji respond? He says, in sri Raag (Ang 50), [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=DarkRed]ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਗਹਿਰ ਗਭੀਰੁ ਹੈ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਅਘਖੰਡੁ ॥ sathigur gehir gabheer hai sukh saagar aghakhandd || The True Guru is the Deep and [/COLOR][COLOR=DarkRed]Profound Ocean of Peace, the Destroyer of sin.

He is profoundly deep, our infinite Lord of the universe. He is merciful and He is loving. In meditation, we discover his true nature. Fearless and free of hate. Immeasurable and Infinite. Unborn and Self-illumined. Guru Arjan is re-telling the Truth of the mool mantar in these words. This what we discover. And when this Truth is discovered, when it is truly embedded in our hearts, and understanding is obtained, we feel him as the Sustainer. He gives this priceless Treasure, Naam, which delivers us from pain and our minds are satisfied by the ambrosial nectar of the Naam. The only thing left to say is that the words of these shabads in their original language are impeccable in their poetic beauty. [/COLOR] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
