He does whatever He pleases. No order can be issued to Him.

[spnadmin]

Sangat ji

I am so sorry and apologize to you. We have been asked to begin every post in Gurmat Vichaar with some words in English. To comply with the rules I am writing a few words before each Shabad. But asking your forgiveness. Nothing I can say in English or in any other language deserves to be seen side by side with the words of our Gurus.

 

[kaur-1]

"I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Guru; Lord of the World"

YouTube - I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Guru; Lord of the World

(The beginning of the video sounds like the voice of Guruka Singh Khalsa of Sikhnet.)

Shabad :
This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Nat Naaraayan on Ang 980 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj:

ho vaar vaar jaao gur gopaal ||1|| rehaao ||
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Guru, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

mohi niragun thum pooran dhaathae dheenaa naathh dhaeiaal ||1||
I am unworthy; You are the Perfect Giver. You are the Merciful Master of the meek. ||1||

oot(h)ath bait(h)ath sovath jaagath jeea praan dhhan maal ||2||
While standing and sitting, while sleeping and awake, You are my soul, my breath of life, my wealth and property. ||2||

dharasan piaas bahuth man maerai naanak dharas nihaal ||3||8||9||
Within my mind there is great thirst for Your Blessed Vision. Nanak is enraptured with Your Glance of Grace. ||3||8||9||

 

[spnadmin]

I am going to listen to this right away. Thank you bhenji.

Now that I have listened Yes it is Guruka Singh ji. Who explains everything so clearly.

Feeling better already.

May I never forget HIM!

 

[spnadmin]

How many time Sangat ji have we seen that were were blessed? A problem was solved or a worry was taken away? An answer provided? A crisis averted? And yet, we did not even ask for help! God's goodness and mercy came to us anyway. He is the prevader of hearts, the inner knower. He knows and creates when we ask for help and when we do not. All suffering ceases when He grants His gifts.

[spnadmin]

He is our Savior, and the source of all virtues, giving of his intellect and diminishing anger within us. He cannot be destroyed. No force can withstand him. And he ignites life while damping out wickedness. He is eternal and endless, He is, when we try to comprehend him, an ..."incantation... bewitching the enchantress... and perfect enlightener." And here is the most interesting verse - he is the subduer of excellence. :idea: What does this mean?

ਸਿੱਧ ਕੋ ਸਰੂਪ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਬੁਧਿ ਕੋ ਬਿਭੂਤਿ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਕ੍ਰੁਧ ਕੋ ਅਭੂਤ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਅੱਛੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਹੈਂ ॥
Siddh ko saroop hain ki budh(i) ko bibhoot(i) hain ki krudh ko abhoo hain ki achchhai abinaasoo hain||
He is the salvation-incarnate, He is the wealth of intellect, He is the destroyer of anger, He is Unassailable and eternal.


ਕਾਮ ਕੋ ਕੁਨਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਖੂਬੀ ਕੋ ਦਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਗਨੀਮ ਕੋ ਗਰਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਤੇਜ ਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸੀ ਹੈਂ ॥
Kaam ko kunindaa hain ki khooboo ko dahindaa hain ganoom ko garindaa hain ki tej ko prakaasoo hain||
He is the doer of errand and the giver of qualities. He is the perisher of enemies and igniter of fire.


ਕਾਲ ਹੂੰ ਕੋ ਕਾਲ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਸਤ੍ਰਨ ਕੋ ਸਾਲ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਨ ਕੋ ਪੋਖਤ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਬ੍ਰਿਧਤਾ ਕੋ ਬਾਸੀ ਹੈਂ ॥
Kaal hoon ko kaal hain ki satran ko saal hain ki mitran ko pokhat hain ki bridhataa ko baasoo hain||
He is the death of death and smasher of enemies; He is the Protector of Friends and subduer of excellence.


ਜੋਗ ਹੂੰ ਕੋ ਜੰਤ੍ਰ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਤੇਜ ਹੂੰ ਕੋ ਤੰਤ੍ਰ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਮੋਹਨੀ ਕੋ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਪੂਰਨ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸੀ ਹੈਂ ॥੮॥੨੬੦॥
Jog hoon ko jantra hain ki tej hoon ko tantra hain ki mohanoo ko mantra hain ki pooran prakaasoo hain||8||260||
He is the mystical diagram of gaining control over Yoga, He is the mystical formula of overpowering glory; He is the incantation of bewitching the enchantress and perfect enlightener.

[spnadmin]

He Delivers. We gather. He creates. We consume. We consume our lives with ambition and striving. All that we acquire - land, money, status, power, fame, intellect, creative gifts and talents -- all that will perish when we perish. One Gift does not perish. With His Grace we obtain it. He is the Giver of Wealth. And He is the Forgiver of sins.

ਭਾਈ ਰੇ ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
bhaaee rae than dhhan saathh n hoe ||
O Siblings of Destiny, this body and wealth shall not go along with you.



ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੋ ਗੁਰੁ ਦਾਤਿ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
raam naam dhhan niramalo gur dhaath karae prabh soe ||1|| rehaao ||
The Lord's Name is the pure wealth; through the Guru, God bestows this gift. ||1||Pause||



ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੋ ਜੇ ਦੇਵੈ ਦੇਵਣਹਾਰੁ ॥
raam naam dhhan niramalo jae dhaevai dhaevanehaar ||
The Lord's Name is the pure wealth; it is given only by the Giver.



ਆਗੈ ਪੂਛ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜਿਸੁ ਬੇਲੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ॥
aagai pooshh n hovee jis baelee gur karathaar ||
One who has the Guru, the Creator, as his Friend, shall not be questioned hereafter.



ਆਪਿ ਛਡਾਏ ਛੁਟੀਐ ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
aap shhaddaaeae shhutteeai aapae bakhasanehaar ||2||
He Himself delivers those who are delivered. He Himself is the Forgiver. ||2||

[Sardara123]

The Creator, Lord God does everything. Nothing can happen without His Will.
He is everything to me.

In the following Shabad Guru Ji tells us:

The Lord is my King; He is my mother and father.
In Your Mercy, You cherish me; I do whatever You make me do. ||Pause||
The beings and creatures are Your creation.

Punjabi Translation:

ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹ! ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਂ ਹੈਂ, ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਉ ਹੈਂ। ਮੇਹਰ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਤੂੰ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈਂ। ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਮੈਂ ਉਹੀ ਕੁਝ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਜੋ ਤੂੰ ਮੈਥੋਂ ਕਰਾਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ।ਰਹਾਉ।
ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹ! ਤੂੰ ਮੈਥੋਂ ਉਹੀ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਾਇਆ ਕਰ ਜੋ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚੰਗਾ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਅਕਲ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਕਰਨੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦੀ। ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਅਸੀ (ਤੇਰੇ) ਬੱਚੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਆਏ ਹਾਂ।
ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! (ਸ਼ਰਨ ਪਏ ਜੀਵ ਦੀ) ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੇ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ (ਸਦਾ) ਰਖਾਈ ਹੈ।੧।
ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! (ਅਸਾਂ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦੀ) ਡੋਰ ਤੇਰੇ ਹੱਥ ਵਿਚ ਹੈ, ਸਾਰੇ ਜੀਵ ਤੇਰੇ ਹੀ ਆਸਰੇ ਹਨ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਆਖ-ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ!) ਤੇਰੇ ਦਾਸ ਤੇਰੀ ਹੀ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਪਏ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ।
ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਅਸੀ ਜੀਵ ਉਹੀ ਕੁਝ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਜੋ ਕੁਝ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਸਾਥੋਂ ਕਰਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।੨।੭।੭੧।
