[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 93818, member: 35"] kiram ji My best attempt at an explanation of this Shabad is defective compared to what others can say. But I will try. I read the shabad as a blueprint with directions on how to apply our minds and hearts. If my words are too simplistic, that is because I don't usually think that Guruji is being secretive (just every now and then) The key: [COLOR=red][COLOR=Black][COLOR=Red]Making the effort, the mind becomes pure; in this dance, the self is silenced[/COLOR]. The goal is to silence the self, we must make the effort to purify the mind. Guru Arjan Dev ji is clear about the dance-steps: 1.[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black] Sing His Praises[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=DarkGreen]Gaavai, [/COLOR] 2. [/COLOR][COLOR=Black]Hear the Shabad resound [COLOR=DarkGreen]vajaavai[/COLOR] 3. Reflect [COLOR=DarkGreen]rehaao[/COLOR] 4. Instruct the mind through constant prayer [/COLOR][COLOR=DarkGreen]prathhamae man parabodhhai[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] 5. Join with sangat and share with others our experience with the Satguru[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkGreen] paashhai avar reejhaavai ||[/COLOR] 6. Chant the Lord's name [COLOR=DarkGreen]raam naam jap[/COLOR] 7. Contain the Naam within our hearts [COLOR=DarkGreen]hiradhai jaapai[/COLOR] 8. Announce the Naam openly so all others can hear it [COLOR=DarkGreen]mukh thae sagal sunaavai [/COLOR] 9. Give seva to the Guru through dutiful association with sangat [COLOR=DarkGreen]kar sang saadhhoo charan pakhaarai santh dhhoor than laavai ||[/COLOR] 10 Surrender mind and body and offer them to Kartar [COLOR=DarkGreen]man than arap dhharae gur aagai sath padhaarathh paavai ||3||[/COLOR] So that is the dance that Guru is telling us and this is the result[COLOR=DarkGreen] [COLOR=Black]with His Glance of Grace will be[/COLOR] ਜੋ ਜੋ ਸੁਨੈ ਪੇਖੈ ਲਾਇ ਸਰਧਾ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਦੁਖੁ ਭਾਗੈ ॥ jo jo sunai paekhai laae saradhhaa thaa kaa janam maran dhukh bhaagai || Whoever listens to, and beholds the Guru with faith, shall see his pains of birth and death taken away.
