[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 9079, member: 10"] Dear Khalsa Ji, My understanding of 38th Pauri of Anand Sahib, I share with you. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]1. [/font][color=maroon][font=WebAkharThick]hir jIau guPw AMdir riK kY vwjw pvxu vjwieAw ] [/font][/color][/size][font=Tahoma][size=3]har jee-o gufaa an[u]d[/u]ar ra[u]kh[/u] kai vaajaa pava[u]n[/u] vajaa-i-aa.[/size] [/font] It is ‘The Sat’ who put life in the womb that enables the being to start breathing. My understanding: In this sentence gufaa is a metaphor; it refers to the space or shell in which the life starts - womb, egg or seed. Guru Sahib states the fact as to how the life of every being starts. As we know all living entities breathe during their lifetime. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]2. [/font][color=maroon][font=WebAkharThick]vjwieAw vwjw paux nau duAwry prgtu kIey dsvw gupqu rKwieAw ] [/font][/color][/size][font=Tahoma][size=3]vajaa-i-aa vaajaa pa-u[u]n[/u] na-o [u]d[/u]u-aaray pargat kee-ay [u]d[/u]asvaa gupa[u]t[/u] ra[u]kh[/u]aa-i-aa.[/size] [/font] Having breath live into the being (human), the nine openings are visible the tenth is kept hidden. My understanding: Guru Sahib tells that there are ten openings in we humans. The nine – two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth, two openings for excretion of waste matter from body – are explicit; they are known to every one. Every one does not know the tenth opening. My past learning tells that Guru Sahib is referring to the subtle way through which the essence of the being passes to merges with ‘The Sat’. This opening is secret and subtle because it is not physical. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]3. [/font][color=maroon][font=WebAkharThick]gurduAwrY lwie BwvnI ieknw dsvw duAwru idKwieAw ] [/font][/color][/size][font=Tahoma][size=3]gur[u]d[/u]u-aarai laa-ay [u]bh[/u]aavnee iknaa [u]d[/u]asvaa [u]d[/u]u-aar [u]d[/u]i[u]kh[/u]aa-i-aa.[/size] [/font] Those who have the mental disposition that is needed at the entrance of the Guru, get to see the tenth door. My understanding: Guru Sahib tells that the right mental disposition at Gurdwara enables the person to know the tenth door. Here it is important to dwell on few of the words used in this sentence. Gurdwara as we all know is a building that houses Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Building, as such, cannot give any spiritual knowledge. The building becomes Gurdwara because Sri Guru Granth Sahib is placed there. Now Sri Guru Granth Sahib is a Granth. As we see this Granth, apart for the reverence we Sikhs have for it, does not enlighten me in any way. Only on reading Sri Guru Granth Sahib, understanding what is said in it, extracting the knowledge contained in it and internalising it into ones being i.e. by resonating with the Shabad in real life, the individual can acquire the spiritual wisdom. It is this state of spiritual wisdom that Guru Sahib has referred to as ‘Bhavaanee’; it is the needed mental acumen and disposition. With this new state of mind the person gets elevated to a level in spirituality from where the individual is able to see or visualise or perceive the tenth door – the way to reach ‘The Sat’. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]4. [/font][color=maroon][font=WebAkharThick]qh Anyk rUp nwau nv iniD iqs dw AMqu n jweI pwieAw ] [/font][/color][u][font=Tahoma]t[/font][/u][/size][font=Tahoma][size=3]ah anayk roop naa-o nav ni[u]Dh[/u] [u]t[/u]is [u]d[/u]aa an[u]t[/u] na jaa-ee paa-i-aa.[/size] [/font] There are many forms and names with new and new treasure of attributes and there is no end to it that can be found. My understanding: Guru Sahib tells that there are endless forms names and attributes in which ‘The Sat’ manifests. Guru Sahib has said so because he knows that in each of the living entity ‘The Sat’ and only ‘The Sat’ is there. As I understand the entire manifestation is nothing but ‘The Sat’; the totality is ‘One’. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]5.

My understanding: After giving us the key to the tenth door and explaining the ‘Oneness’ of the entire manifestation, Guru Sahib tells again that each person has become a living entity only because ‘The Sat’ placed Jot into her or him. This Jot is nothing but ‘The Sat’ in every being. It is the same force that initiated sustains and concludes the life in each being. This way we all are one. The whole manifestation is one. Here I am reminded of one saying from a sage: “If you are confused, there are thousand differentiations, ten thousand distinctions. If you are enlightened, every thing is the same family”. With this I close this post. With love and respect for all. Amarpal Singh [/QUOTE]
