We gain our honor in detachment </span><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"> Honor is obtained by eating this tasty dish; of all gifts, this is the greatest gift.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkSlateGray"> The first section is a pauree is from the Bani of Guru Angad on Ang 148. Guru Angad is telling us that when we serve the Guru we are like minstrels singing His praises. We/They obtain their Lord and Master. The lotus, symbol of detachment, blossoms within. All these gifts are given: enemies driven out (all vices) and subdued; death is overcome (the cycle of coming and going); one is shown the True Path (the way of Truthful Living) ; one is adorned with the Shabad; and one meets the Treasure, the Satguru. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkSlateGray"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color:

Or is Guruji saying that upon obtaining the Lord and Master, pleasure and pain are the same, dust and gold are the same, all duality ends? Speaking -- It is a waste of time, and probably not something that will help us in the end. Better to remain silent -- poised in silence -- Speaking the Unspoken Speech of the Lord (as we just heard from Guru Angad Dev</span> above.)</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span> </p></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"> ਮਃ ੧ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ma 1 ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">First Mehl:</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span> <span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"> 4 ਨਾਨਕ ਬੋਲਣੁ ਝਖਣਾ ਦੁਖ ਛਡਿ ਮੰਗੀਅਹਿ ਸੁਖ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">naanak bolan jhakhanaa dhukh shhadd mangeeahi sukh ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">O Nanak, it is absurd to ask to be spared from pain by begging for comfort.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਸੁਖੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਦੁਇ ਦਰਿ ਕਪੜੇ ਪਹਿਰਹਿ ਜਾਇ ਮਨੁਖ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">sukh dhukh dhue dhar kaparrae pehirehi jaae manukh ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">Pleasure and pain are the two garments given, to be worn in the Court of the Lord.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਜਿਥੈ ਬੋਲਣਿ ਹਾਰੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਚੰਗੀ ਚੁਪ ॥੨॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">jithhai bolan haareeai thithhai changee chup ||2||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">Where you are bound to lose by speaking, there, you ought to remain silent. ||2||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkSlateGray">Then Nanak tells us, that wandering around looking high and looking low is useless. He is found within "my own self." The True Invisible Creaor Lord is found within. There the jewel is found. There the lamp is lit. Praise the True Word of the Shabad and live in Truth. Be in fear in awe of God or be destroyed by fear. Give up pride or be overtaken by it. You will be swallowed up by pride, a wild demon. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkSlateGray"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkSlateGray"></span> </p></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਪਉੜੀ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">pourree ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">Pauree:</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span> <span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"> 5 ਚਾਰੇ ਕੁੰਡਾ ਦੇਖਿ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਭਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">chaarae kunddaa dhaekh andhar bhaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">After looking around in the four directions, I looked within my own self.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਸਚੈ ਪੁਰਖਿ ਅਲਖਿ ਸਿਰਜਿ ਨਿਹਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">sachai purakh alakh siraj nihaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">There, I saw the True, Invisible Lord Creator.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਉਝੜਿ ਭੁਲੇ ਰਾਹ ਗੁਰਿ ਵੇਖਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">oujharr bhulae raah gur vaekhaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">I was wandering in the wilderness, but now the Guru has shown me the Way.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਚੇ ਵਾਹੁ ਸਚੁ ਸਮਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">sathigur sachae vaahu sach samaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">Hail to the True, True Guru, through whom we merge in the Truth.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਪਾਇਆ ਰਤਨੁ ਘਰਾਹੁ ਦੀਵਾ ਬਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">paaeiaa rathan gharaahu dheevaa baaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">I have found the jewel within the home of my own self; the lamp within has been lit.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਲਾਹਿ ਸੁਖੀਏ ਸਚ ਵਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">sachai sabadh salaahi sukheeeae sach vaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">Those who praise the True Word of the Shabad, abide in the peace of Truth.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">ਨਿਡਰਿਆ ਡਰੁ ਲਗਿ ਗਰਬਿ ਸਿ ਗਾਲਿਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">niddariaa ddar lag garab s gaaliaa ||</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: DarkOliveGreen">But those who do not have the Fear of God, are overtaken by fear.

[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 77411, member: 35"] [CENTER][LEFT][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]The first 3 Gurus are speaking in this selection from Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The importance of these paurees and saloks is the lesson that detachment is a gift that is given. Detachment is not something that we achieve ourselves through trial and effort. It is something that He Himself grants to us. We gain our honor in detachment [/COLOR][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] Honor is obtained by eating this tasty dish; of all gifts, this is the greatest gift.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateGray] The first section is a pauree is from the Bani of Guru Angad on Ang 148. Guru Angad is telling us that when we serve the Guru we are like minstrels singing His praises. We/They obtain their Lord and Master. The lotus, symbol of detachment, blossoms within. All these gifts are given: enemies driven out (all vices) and subdued; death is overcome (the cycle of coming and going); one is shown the True Path (the way of Truthful Living) ; one is adorned with the Shabad; and one meets the Treasure, the Satguru. [/COLOR] [/LEFT] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਪਉੜੀ ॥ pourree || Pauree: [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਖਸਮੈ ਕੈ ਦਰਬਾਰਿ ਢਾਢੀ ਵਸਿਆ ॥ khasamai kai dharabaar dtaadtee vasiaa || In the Court of the Lord and Master, His minstrels dwell. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਸਚਾ ਖਸਮੁ ਕਲਾਣਿ ਕਮਲੁ ਵਿਗਸਿਆ ॥ sachaa khasam kalaan kamal vigasiaa || Singing the Praises of their True Lord and Master, the lotuses of their hearts have blossomed forth. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਖਸਮਹੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇ ਮਨਹੁ ਰਹਸਿਆ ॥ khasamahu pooraa paae manahu rehasiaa || Obtaining their Perfect Lord and Master, their minds are transfixed with ecstasy. ਦੁਸਮਨ ਕਢੇ ਮਾਰਿ ਸਜਣ ਸਰਸਿਆ ॥ dhusaman kadtae maar sajan sarasiaa || Their enemies have been driven out and subdued, and their friends are very pleased. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਸਚਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਨਿ ਸਚਾ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਦਸਿਆ ॥ sachaa sathigur saevan sachaa maarag dhasiaa || Those who serve the Truthful True Guru are shown the True Path. ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਕਾਲੁ ਵਿਧਉਸਿਆ ॥ sachaa sabadh beechaar kaal vidhhousiaa || Reflecting on the True Word of the Shabad, death is overcome. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਢਾਢੀ ਕਥੇ ਅਕਥੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਵਾਰਿਆ ॥ dtaadtee kathhae akathh sabadh savaariaa || Speaking the Unspoken Speech of the Lord, one is adorned with the Word of His Shabad. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਣ ਗਹਿ ਰਾਸਿ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਮਿਲੇ ਪਿਆਰਿਆ ॥੨੩॥ naanak gun gehi raas har jeeo milae piaariaa ||23|| Nanak holds tight to the Treasure of Virtue, and meets with the Dear, Beloved Lord. ||23|| [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਪਤਿ ਕੇ ਸਾਦ ਖਾਦਾ ਲਹੈ ਦਾਨਾ ਕੈ ਸਿਰਿ ਦਾਨੁ ॥੧॥ path kae saadh khaadhaa lehai dhaanaa kai sir dhaan ||1|| Honor is obtained by eating this tasty dish; of all gifts, this is the greatest gift. ||1|[/COLOR]| [LEFT][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Then Guru speaks in the voice of Guru Nanak on Ang 149 in the next salok. And Guru Nanak says that if God forgives then we are liberated. And if He does not, then we are beaten by our own karma. It does not matter how hard we try to purify ourselves, it is not going to work.[/COLOR] [/LEFT] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥ salok ma 1 || Shalok, First Mehl: [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] 2 ਖਤਿਅਹੁ ਜੰਮੇ ਖਤੇ ਕਰਨਿ ਤ ਖਤਿਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਪਾਹਿ ॥ khathiahu janmae khathae karan th khathiaa vich paahi || [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Born because of the karma of their past mistakes, they make more mistakes, and fall into mistakes. ਧੋਤੇ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਉਤਰਹਿ ਜੇ ਸਉ ਧੋਵਣ ਪਾਹਿ ॥ dhhothae mool n outharehi jae so dhhovan paahi || By washing, their pollution is not removed, even though they may wash hundreds of times. ਨਾਨਕ ਬਖਸੇ ਬਖਸੀਅਹਿ ਨਾਹਿ ਤ ਪਾਹੀ ਪਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ naanak bakhasae bakhaseeahi naahi th paahee paahi ||1|| O Nanak, if God forgives, they are forgiven; otherwise, they are kicked and beaten. ||1|| [/COLOR][LEFT][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Guru Nanak continues in the following salok, saying it is even useless "absurd" to pray to spared from pain or to beg for comfort. Both of these are garments given by God -- both are there for His reasons -- to be worn in His Court. This seems odd does it not? Or is Guruji saying that upon obtaining the Lord and Master, pleasure and pain are the same, dust and gold are the same, all duality ends? Speaking -- It is a waste of time, and probably not something that will help us in the end. Better to remain silent -- poised in silence -- Speaking the Unspoken Speech of the Lord (as we just heard from Guru Angad Dev[/COLOR] above.) [/COLOR] [/LEFT] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ma 1 || First Mehl: [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] 4 ਨਾਨਕ ਬੋਲਣੁ ਝਖਣਾ ਦੁਖ ਛਡਿ ਮੰਗੀਅਹਿ ਸੁਖ ॥ naanak bolan jhakhanaa dhukh shhadd mangeeahi sukh || O Nanak, it is absurd to ask to be spared from pain by begging for comfort. ਸੁਖੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਦੁਇ ਦਰਿ ਕਪੜੇ ਪਹਿਰਹਿ ਜਾਇ ਮਨੁਖ ॥ sukh dhukh dhue dhar kaparrae pehirehi jaae manukh || Pleasure and pain are the two garments given, to be worn in the Court of the Lord. ਜਿਥੈ ਬੋਲਣਿ ਹਾਰੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਚੰਗੀ ਚੁਪ ॥੨॥ jithhai bolan haareeai thithhai changee chup ||2|| Where you are bound to lose by speaking, there, you ought to remain silent. ||2|| [/COLOR][LEFT][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Then Nanak tells us, that wandering around looking high and looking low is useless. He is found within "my own self." The True Invisible Creaor Lord is found within. There the jewel is found. There the lamp is lit. Praise the True Word of the Shabad and live in Truth. Be in fear in awe of God or be destroyed by fear. Give up pride or be overtaken by it. You will be swallowed up by pride, a wild demon.

What is like when we are overtaken by fear? We cannot escape it. It sticks to us from birth to death. We will leave this world dishonored, with a blackened face. Without fear of God we leave this world dishonored. In fear of Him we find our honor.[/COLOR] [/LEFT] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥ salok ma 3 || Shalok, Third Mehl: ਭੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਭੈ ਮਰੈ ਭੀ ਭਉ ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਹੋਇ ॥ bhai vich janmai bhai marai bhee bho man mehi hoe || In fear we are [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]born, and in fear we die.
