The suffering and sadness, which are the states of mind, will not afflict this person because she or he has spiritually evolved to a level much above these. Both these afflictions are caused by attachments and desires. This person is now free from them; she or he is liberated. Attachments and desires mean nothing to the person who has merged in ‘Ik’ i.e. ‘The Sat’. All dualities have dissolved into ‘Ik’. How can this individual be afflicted by sadness or sufferings? She or he has overcome them. She or he has conquered her or his self. She or he has become ‘Mahaveera’. The being of this person is now one with ‘The Sat’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">4. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">gur crn lwgy idn sBwgy Awpxw ipru jwpey ] </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px">gur charan laagay <u>d</u>in sa<u>bh</u>aagay aap<u>n</u>aa pir jaap-ay.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">The day is auspicious, when one associates oneself with the feet of the Guru, who enables the person to do Jaap of her his pir i.e. ‘Sat’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Guru Sahib tells me that it needs the grace of ‘The Sat’ (sabhaagay) to get associated with the feet of the Guru (for me it is Sri Guru Granth Sahib), who guides me on the path of spiritual evolution. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">From my past learning, I know that every thing happens with the ‘Hukam’ of ‘The Sat’. I have to keep trying with purer and purer state of mind till the ‘Hukam’ arrives and I am graced. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">I also know that without trying ‘Hukam’ will never come. It is so because ‘The Sat’ is not my servant who has to do things for me. ‘The Sat’ has given me the best of Akaar and the brain by giving me this life in human form; these two have to be applied to reach ‘The Sat’. Animals cannot do this, as they do not have the evolved brain. It is for this reason Guru Sahib has said that the birth in human form gives the possibility to merge with ‘The Sat’. I have to strive to reach ‘The Sat’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">5. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">Anhq bwxI gur sbid jwxI hir nwmu hir rsu Bogo ] </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px">anha<u>t</u> ba<u>n</u>ee gur saba<u>d</u> jaa<u>n</u>ee har naam har ras <u>bh</u>ogo.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">The unstuck banee is to know the guru’s shabad; the name of the Har gives joy in all of its aspects </span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">In this sentence, there are substantial elements of learning.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">First we study the term ‘Anhat Banee’. Literal meaning of Banee is voice or sound. The sound is the result of some force acting on another element to produce it. The word ‘Anhat’ literally means which is un-struck. From this I understand ‘Anhat Banee’ means the Banee that is not having the cause, which produced it. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">In practical sense what does it mean? Guru Sahib himself has given the answer in this very sentence. Guru Sahib has said ‘Guru Shabad Jaanee’. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Here Guru Sahib tells me that when I have understood the total knowledge content of the Shabad and internalised it into my being, then the source – Sri Guru Granth Sahib – that was the cause (‘hat’) of my understanding; is no longer needed as the purpose for which Guru Sahibs had given me Sri Guru Granth Sahib has been achieved. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">The knowledge content of the Shabad has been realised in my being. There is one to one correspondence between the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and what my being is. The two have become one; none of them is now the cause or effect. There is nothing to strike and nothing to be struck. It is ‘Anhat’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">This is a great teaching from my Guru Sahib.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Wah-e-Guru</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">This way I understand that the fully realised Banee into one’s being is ‘Anhat Banee’. In this state, my being will become a living expression of the Banee, which itself is the ‘Anhat Banee’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">With this understanding the remaining part of the sentence becomes very clear. When the Banee is fully internalised; it becomes part of me i.e. my being. It is natural that it will express in my being in all of its aspects and give me the joy.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">6. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">khY nwnku pRBu Awip imilAw krx kwrx jogo ]34] </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px">kahai naanak para<u>bh</u> aap mili-aa kara<u>n</u> kaara<u>n</u> jogo. ||34||</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Says Nanak; It is ‘The Sat’, who is present in all that happens and the reasons for the happenings.</span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Guru Sahib tells me that ‘The Sat’ is all. ‘The Sat’ is in all aspects of my life. ‘The Sat’ is the real doer. ‘The Sat’ is the cause.

She or he has overcome them. She or he has conquered her or his self. She or he has become ‘Mahaveera’. The being of this person is now one with ‘The Sat’.[/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]4.

[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]From my past learning, I know that every thing happens with the ‘Hukam’ of ‘The Sat’. I have to keep trying with purer and purer state of mind till the ‘Hukam’ arrives and I am graced. [/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]I also know that without trying ‘Hukam’ will never come. It is so because ‘The Sat’ is not my servant who has to do things for me. ‘The Sat’ has given me the best of Akaar and the brain by giving me this life in human form; these two have to be applied to reach ‘The Sat’. Animals cannot do this, as they do not have the evolved brain. It is for this reason Guru Sahib has said that the birth in human form gives the possibility to merge with ‘The Sat’. I have to strive to reach ‘The Sat’.[/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]5.

Literal meaning of Banee is voice or sound. The sound is the result of some force acting on another element to produce it. The word ‘Anhat’ literally means which is un-struck. From this I understand ‘Anhat Banee’ means the Banee that is not having the cause, which produced it. [/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]In practical sense what does it mean? Guru Sahib himself has given the answer in this very sentence. Guru Sahib has said ‘Guru Shabad Jaanee’. [/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Here Guru Sahib tells me that when I have understood the total knowledge content of the Shabad and internalised it into my being, then the source – Sri Guru Granth Sahib – that was the cause (‘hat’) of my understanding; is no longer needed as the purpose for which Guru Sahibs had given me Sri Guru Granth Sahib has been achieved. [/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]The knowledge content of the Shabad has been realised in my being. There is one to one correspondence between the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and what my being is. The two have become one; none of them is now the cause or effect. There is nothing to strike and nothing to be struck. It is ‘Anhat’.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]This is a great teaching from my Guru Sahib.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Wah-e-Guru[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]This way I understand that the fully realised Banee into one’s being is ‘Anhat Banee’. In this state, my being will become a living expression of the Banee, which itself is the ‘Anhat Banee’.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]With this understanding the remaining part of the sentence becomes very clear. When the Banee is fully internalised; it becomes part of me i.e. my being. It is natural that it will express in my being in all of its aspects and give me the joy.[/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]6.
