[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 189368, member: 12855"] My interpretation below: ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਛੰਤ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਘਰੁ ੧ Dhhanaasaree Shhanth Mehalaa 4 Ghar 1 ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥Ik Oankaar Sathigur Prasaadh || See Mool Mantar ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਜੀਉ ॥ Har Jeeo Kirapaa Karae Thaa Naam Dhhiaaeeai Jeeo || Ik Oankaar shows compassion on all by giving us the ability to choose to become Gurmukhs (whether we choose this is another matter). When we make this effort then we incorporate Gurbani into every moment of our lives. This is the true meaning behind acquiring Naam. ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਸਹਜਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਈਐ ਜੀਉ ॥ Sathigur Milai Subhaae Sehaj Gun Gaaeeai Jeeo || When Ik Oankaar is found, the person becomes absorbed in Waheguru’s love and the soul remains in peace. We remain in joy (singing about) Akaal’s good qualities. ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ਵਿਗਸੈ ਸਦਾ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਜਾ ਆਪਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਭਾਵਏ ॥ Gun Gaae Vigasai Sadhaa Anadhin Jaa Aap Saachae Bhaaveae || While singing about the glories of Ik Oankaar (not literally singing but its an expression of joy), that person remains in full bloom. This happens when the ever present Creator is happy (i.e. we are happy within ourself as the creator is present in us). ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਤਜੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਸਹਜਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਵਏ ॥ Ahankaar Houmai Thajai Maaeiaa Sehaj Naam Samaaveae || Through this joy, pride, egotism, self-conceit and the attachment to duality are given up, and the soul finds peace in being absorbed in Gurbani. ਆਪਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰੇ ਸੋਈ ਆਪਿ ਦੇਇ ਤ ਪਾਈਐ ॥ Aap Karathaa Karae Soee Aap Dhaee Th Paaeeai || With the help of Naam Simran (i.e. lifestyle), the ever present Creator is acting within us, Ik Oankaar gives us the strength and we receive. ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਜੀਉ ॥੧॥ Har Jeeo Kirapaa Karae Thaa Naam Dhhiaaeeai Jeeo ||1|| Ik Oankaar has compassion for every being, so we can contemplate Gurbani. ||1|| ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਨੇਹੁ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੈ ਜੀਉ ॥ Andhar Saachaa Naehu Poorae Sathigurai Jeeo || Ik Oankaar shows us the way, and deep within my mind develops a deep connection/love for the Creator within. ਹਉ ਤਿਸੁ ਸੇਵੀ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤਿ ਮੈ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਜੀਉ ॥ Ho This Saevee Dhin Raath Mai Kadhae N Veesarai Jeeo || I work in remembrance of Ik Oankaar day and night; I never forget. ਕਦੇ ਨ ਵਿਸਾਰੀ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੀ ਜਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਈ ਤਾ ਜੀਵਾ ॥ Kadhae N Visaaree Anadhin Samhaaree Jaa Naam Lee Thaa Jeevaa || I never forget Ik Oankaar, every moment I keep Akaal embedded deep within myself. Whenever I live by Gurbani, then I obtain a true life for my soul. ਸ੍ਰਵਣੀ ਸੁਣੀ ਤ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਵਾ ॥ Sravanee Sunee Th Eihu Man Thripathai Guramukh Anmrith Peevaa || When my ears are used to hear (not just listen) to the Truth, then my mind is becomes satisfied and full. It is filled with the ShabadGuru and there is no space to contemplate on duality. Think back to your own life. When you are listening to kirtan and katha, there is a sense of wellbeing and peace. When you are listening to heavy metal, there is anger in your mind. When listening to R’n’B or Bhangra, there are lustful thoughts. Do you agree? ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲੇ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਬਿਬੇਕ ਬੁਧਿ ਬਿਚਰੈ ॥ Nadhar Karae Thaa Sathigur Maelae Anadhin Bibaek Budhh Bicharai || I remain at the feet (metaphorically) of Ik Oankaar and keep drinking from the amrit of the Shabad Guru (by listening, reading, acting it). This is how to find the Truth and what God really is. Use your discriminating mind to help you always follow the right path, to remain connected and never separate from the Sat. I personally think the use of bibek buddhi or discerning intellect is very important here as it shows there is no room for blind faith, mindless rituals etc. Your mind should be used in a proactive and sensible way to understand whether things you are told really fit in with Gurbani and the Truth. ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਨੇਹੁ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੈ ॥੨॥ Andhar Saachaa Naehu Poorae Sathigurai ||2|| Ik Oankaar shows us the way, and deep within my mind develops a deep connection/love for the Creator within. ||2|| ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਭਾਗਿ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਆਵਏ ਜੀਉ ॥ Sathasangath Milai Vaddabhaag Thaa Har Ras Aaveae Jeeo || The person who has great fortune (i.e. makes the effort), is able to understand and become one with the Sat Sangat (Waheguru). That person understands and wants the sweetness of a Gurmukh life. ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ਤ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵਏ ਜੀਉ ॥ Anadhin Rehai Liv Laae Th Sehaj Samaaveae Jeeo || That person remains absorbed in the remembrance of Ik Oankaar in every moment, the soul remains in a state of love and peace. ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਸਦਾ ਅਤੀਤੁ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ॥ Sehaj Samaavai Thaa Har Man Bhaavai Sadhaa Atheeth Bairaagee || When a person becomes absorbed in spiritual equipoise, then in the mind a love for Ik Oankaar develops and this provides freedom from attachment to maya. The mind becomes unattached and pure. ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਸੋਭਾ ਜਗ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ॥ Halath Palath Sobhaa Jag Anthar Raam Naam Liv Laagee || That person appreciates the beauty of this world and others, and the whole universe. That person remains in all tasks in the love of Ik Oankaar. ਹਰਖ ਸੋਗ ਦੁਹਾ ਤੇ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਭਾਵਏ ॥ Harakh Sog Dhuhaa Thae Mukathaa Jo Prabh Karae S Bhaaveae || That person is free from both pleasure and pain, and is happy with whatever comes to pass in life. This concept for me personally is truly inspirational and is the thing the spurs me on most to try and become a Gurmukh. Can you imagine how easy life will feel if the extremes of emotion and reliance on external ups and downs is removed, if the mind stays stable? This is how the shaheeds and the mothers with their children around their neck achieved what they did. This is how Guru Arjun Ji bore his torture, this is how people stay positive and outward thinking even when life goes to hell! This is what I hope to achieve! How about you? ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਭਾਗਿ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਆਵਏ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥ Sathasangath Milai Vaddabhaag Thaa Har Ras Aaveae Jeeo ||3|| The person who has great fortune (i.e. makes the effort), is able to understand and become one with the Sat Sangat (Waheguru).

They become stuck in the pain caused by the attachment to duality/illusion. ਮਾਇਆ ਦੁਖਿ ਮੋਹਿਆ ਹਉਮੈ ਰੋਹਿਆ ਮੇਰੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਕਰਤ ਵਿਹਾਵਏ ॥ Maaeiaa Dhukh Mohiaa Houmai Rohiaa Maeree Maeree Karath Vihaaveae || That person remains entangled in the attachment to duality.
