[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 206605, member: 2709"] In this second entry in the[I] Impressions of Gurbani [/I]series I have described the thoughts that Rehras generates in my mind. It's not a translation, and it contains additional information and conclusions I have reached from my own journey and reading of Gurbani. Please read it in conjunction with the bani which starts on [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&g=1&h=1&r=1&t=1&p=0&k=0&fb=0&Param=8']panna 8[/URL] of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I will separate each thought-section according to each whole [U]shabad[/U] within Rehras, not by verse. [B]Impressions of Gurbani ~ Rehras[/B] by Ishna After I finished this contemplation, I marked in my notebook 'sargun?' by the So Dar, and 'nirgun?' by So Purkh. [B] ~So Dar~[/B] Aasaa, Mehla 1 Its home is in all creation. All creation sings of It - it is all an expression of It and therefore all are subject to It. It is also beyond all since It will remain when the Creation ceases to be. -1- Aasaa, Mehla 1 It is perceived intuitively (felt) and can't be explained in words, even by the teacher of teachers. The perception only comes with Grace. -2- Aasaa, Mehla 1 Live as taught by the Guru - be Its expression. How can one forget It when It is the reality all around? The reality is so awesome, It is always there, the One and Only. Those who don't recognise the reality are outcasts. -3- Goojaree, Mehla 4 Pray for the light of Naam (to perceive the reality). It is satisfying and brings out good qualities. It is a pity for those who can't perceive the reality, they are faced with fear of death. Those who are inclined to find It, find It. The Guru can help you find It. -4- Goojaree, Mehla 5 Don't worry about life, It is all supported by It. Learn from the Guru and reconnect with the light. You can do that intuitively. [B]~So Purkh~[/B] Contemplate It, it's sad not to. It is in all hearts. It is limitless and Its qualities can't be described with words. Those who intuitively contemplate You are at peace, and live accordingly. (verses 1, 2, 3) Devotional awareness of It is a treasure. Worship is given in so many ways but the best way is through awareness - that brings you closer to It. (verse 4) It is there forever and moves as It likes, creating and destroying. It knows all. (verse 5) -1- Aasaa, Mehla 4 All are part of It and It moves as It likes. Those who are lucky\blessed perceive It. The Guru can teach you how. It has created everything and made us capable of perceiving It. It is everyone, there is no individual. It inspires whoever It likes to understand\perceive It. Everything happens as it does because of It. The Guru can help you understand. -2- Aasaa, Mehla 1 Those who don't perceive reality are drowning in emotional attachment and have forgotten their true qualities\virtues - purpose. Those who are aware can help you (re)learn. -3- Aasaa, Mehla 5 As a human you can perceive It - so become one of the people who do. Make every effort to overcome distractions of false awareness. All other actions are worthless. Pray for awareness. -4- End [/QUOTE]
