Satguru Arjan Dev ji has blessed us with pure and holy hukamnama.
Satguru ji is saying, your family, relatives, friends, children and all people you meet they are only there for the present worldy considerations and needs, they will not in any way support you in the world hereafter, you will be alone.

but the mother wanted the opposite gender, and did ardaas to Guru ji, the ardaas was granted and Guru ji's power
proved the machines wrong.

Says Nanak, Those devotees have all their works completed, who have attached themselves to the Guru's feet, shabad of Satguru.
What is the state of those ? who have attached themselves to Satguru's feet?
In Davygandharee, Satguru Arjan Sahib jee is telling us.
Satguru ji, your words are ambrosial nectar for me.
Kathakaar is telling of a story about, when a sikh, used to turn his back during certain lines of gurbani kirtan. When asked why you are doing this? the sikh said, this is because some lines of Gurbani are slapping me in the face, thats why i turn my face.
But Those who are one with parmatma, all words of Satguru are sweet
Kathakaar, is saying, all words of Satguru are ambrosial sweet to that one, who is attached to Satguru's feet.
For them, Parmatma is very sweet, enticing to the mind, peaceful, blissful.
They need not dynasties, or kingdoms, they need not liberation of any type.
All they need is to be attached to Satguru's feet, to Satguru's shabad.
Those who are melted in love of God, are those who have become one with Parmatma,
They say "Satguru ji, Do mercy on me, I only want to be united with your feet."
All gods, goddesses they all thirst, they all seek the darshan/sight of Parmatma.
Im a beggar, I have come to your door, O Parmatma,
Beautiful Parmatma, my mind is attached to you.
You have carried me across the terrifying world ocean.
You have lifted me above births deaths.
Kathakaar, is saying join the satsangat, and sing the praises of Parmatma.
singing the praises of Parmatma, you will be carried across.
Those who sing, their lineage's family ancestory is also carried across.
On whom parmatma has done kirpa, they remember parmatma every moment.
eating, sleeping, working, they remember parmatma.
Parmatma is the protector of his devotees.
Who is not met through any dress or garb.
Singing beautiful songs, but they have ahankaar within.
In this way, Parmatma is not obtained.
Those who know the 4 vedas, who speak very sweet words, are intelligent, beautiful,
Still not met through any of your means and attempts.
Satguru ji is saying,
This gursikhi, thinner then the width of the hair, the path is sharper then the double edged sword, you will not cross across like this. Know that Parmatma is not met, until Satguru does kirpa, until Satguru does mercy on you.
Know that a beggar cannot get anything on its own, without the grace of the giver.
Pray to Satguru, for Satguru is the All powerful Parmatma, Lord of all,
Pray to Satguru, so that he does kirpa on you, and you can meet Parmatma.
Through Satguru ji's grace, the effort to meet Parmatma, we make.
Forgive any mistakes.
Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo ji ki fateh

Satguru Arjan Dev ji has blessed us with pure and holy hukamnama.
Satguru ji is saying, your family, relatives, friends, children and all people you meet they are only there for the present worldy considerations and needs, they will not in any way support you in the world hereafter, you will be alone.
Satguru is your sole supporter, establish all relations with Satguru ji. None other will go with you. Know that this world is a dream.
With humility, pray to Satguru, empty your heart, know that you have nothing/noone other then Satguru ji.
Let us read and contemplate by Satguru Arjan Dev ji, Todays Hukamanma in Raag Soohee.
Here is a brief description about Raag Soohee.
"Soohee is an expression of such devotion that the listener experiences feelings of extreme closeness and undying love. The listener is bathed in that love and genuinely comes to know what it means to adore." - Prof Surinder Singh
Being away from home. The soul being away from the House of Lord and the joy of meeting the true husband.
raag soohee is perfomed between 9am-12pm

Satguru is my perfect beloved companion, like my Satguru, another one, I know not,
noone i have, Without Satguru, noone i know, other then Satguru, O my Lord.
All worldy friends and companions only come to go, at the moment of death, all leave everyone.
my mind; why seek their company? They all will leave you in the end.
in thier company, what have I gained? What will I gain?
I seek the sanctuary of only one that exists. the form of all, The one father, mother, lover and beloved of all beings.

Parmatma is the life of my life, Says Nanak, Perfect is the glory of Parmatma.

but the mother wanted the opposite gender, and did ardaas to Guru ji, the ardaas was granted and Guru ji's power
proved the machines wrong.

Says Nanak, Those devotees have all their works completed, who have attached themselves to the Guru's feet, shabad of Satguru.
What is the state of those ? who have attached themselves to Satguru's feet?
In Davygandharee, Satguru Arjan Sahib jee is telling us.
Satguru ji, your words are ambrosial nectar for me.
Kathakaar is telling of a story about, when a sikh, used to turn his back during certain lines of gurbani kirtan. When asked why you are doing this? the sikh said, this is because some lines of Gurbani are slapping me in the face, thats why i turn my face.
But Those who are one with parmatma, all words of Satguru are sweet
Kathakaar, is saying, all words of Satguru are ambrosial sweet to that one, who is attached to Satguru's feet.
For them, Parmatma is very sweet, enticing to the mind, peaceful, blissful.
They need not dynasties, or kingdoms, they need not liberation of any type.
All they need is to be attached to Satguru's feet, to Satguru's shabad.
Those who are melted in love of God, are those who have become one with Parmatma,
They say "Satguru ji, Do mercy on me, I only want to be united with your feet."
All gods, goddesses they all thirst, they all seek the darshan/sight of Parmatma.
Im a beggar, I have come to your door, O Parmatma,
Beautiful Parmatma, my mind is attached to you.
You have carried me across the terrifying world ocean.
You have lifted me above births deaths.
Kathakaar, is saying join the satsangat, and sing the praises of Parmatma.
singing the praises of Parmatma, you will be carried across.
Those who sing, their lineage's family ancestory is also carried across.
On whom parmatma has done kirpa, they remember parmatma every moment.
eating, sleeping, working, they remember parmatma.
Parmatma is the protector of his devotees.
Who is not met through any dress or garb.
Singing beautiful songs, but they have ahankaar within.
In this way, Parmatma is not obtained.
Those who know the 4 vedas, who speak very sweet words, are intelligent, beautiful,
Still not met through any of your means and attempts.
Satguru ji is saying,
This gursikhi, thinner then the width of the hair, the path is sharper then the double edged sword, you will not cross across like this. Know that Parmatma is not met, until Satguru does kirpa, until Satguru does mercy on you.
Know that a beggar cannot get anything on its own, without the grace of the giver.
Pray to Satguru, for Satguru is the All powerful Parmatma, Lord of all,
Pray to Satguru, so that he does kirpa on you, and you can meet Parmatma.
Through Satguru ji's grace, the effort to meet Parmatma, we make.
Forgive any mistakes.
Vaahiguroo jee ka khalsa, Vaahiguroo ji ki fateh
