The shabad is a song of joy and fulfillment. Guru Arjan Dev is rejoicing at the birth of a child. And Guru Arjan Dev is acknowledging that this child was given by the True Guru and will grow to be a devotee of the Lord of the Universe.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">I placed this shabad in this thread "Why Did He Create His Creation" because "this son" is the creation of God. The shabad is about both creation and re-creation.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">The baby grows in the womb, and then Guru Arjan Dev tells us that bliss shall be obtained. So the shabad is about more thant the birth of a child who will grow to become a devotee of God. For the Guru goes onto say, </span></span><span style="color: DarkRed"> <span style="color: DarkGreen">ਵਧੀ ਵੇਲਿ ਬਹੁ ਪੀੜੀ ਚਾਲੀ ॥</span></span><span style="color: DarkRed">vadhhee vael bahu peerree chaalee || </span><span style="color: DarkRed">The vine has grown, and shall last for many generations. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">Something more persistent than another human life has been created; it is born, grows and will continue -- the Power of the Dharma. It has been firmly established, as a vine that bears fruit must be firmly established. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">"A child places so much faith in his father." And then we realize that what has been created has been created through faith and that what Guru Arjan Dev has wished for has been granted -- the Power of the Dharma.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">It is a prayer of thanksgiving, for a son and it is a prayer of thanksgiving for the granting of a wish. Guru Arjan Dev is speaking both as a father and he is speaking as a son. He is speaking about a child and he is speaking as a child that grows to become a devotee. He is speaking about a child that does not die or wither. He is speaking as a father and he is speaking to his father. He may be speaking as the father of Guru Hargobind, and he may be speaking of Guru Ram Das (carrying the jyote of Guru Nanak). Guru Arjan Dev is definitely speaking to the Satguru. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: DarkRed"><span style="color: black">Who is the father and who is the son?

The shabad is a song of joy and fulfillment. Guru Arjan Dev is rejoicing at the birth of a child. And Guru Arjan Dev is acknowledging that this child was given by the True Guru and will grow to be a devotee of the Lord of the Universe. I placed this shabad in this thread "Why Did He Create His Creation" because "this son" is the creation of God. The shabad is about both creation and re-creation. The baby grows in the womb, and then Guru Arjan Dev tells us that bliss shall be obtained. So the shabad is about more thant the birth of a child who will grow to become a devotee of God. For the Guru goes onto say, [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=DarkRed] [COLOR=DarkGreen]ਵਧੀ ਵੇਲਿ ਬਹੁ ਪੀੜੀ ਚਾਲੀ ॥[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=DarkRed]vadhhee vael bahu peerree chaalee || [/COLOR][COLOR=DarkRed]The vine has grown, and shall last for many generations. [COLOR=black] Something more persistent than another human life has been created; it is born, grows and will continue -- the Power of the Dharma. It has been firmly established, as a vine that bears fruit must be firmly established. "A child places so much faith in his father." And then we realize that what has been created has been created through faith and that what Guru Arjan Dev has wished for has been granted -- the Power of the Dharma. It is a prayer of thanksgiving, for a son and it is a prayer of thanksgiving for the granting of a wish. Guru Arjan Dev is speaking both as a father and he is speaking as a son. He is speaking about a child and he is speaking as a child that grows to become a devotee. He is speaking about a child that does not die or wither. He is speaking as a father and he is speaking to his father. He may be speaking as the father of Guru Hargobind, and he may be speaking of Guru Ram Das (carrying the jyote of Guru Nanak). Guru Arjan Dev is definitely speaking to the Satguru. Who is the father and who is the son? And who is the baby that is born?
