Infinite Lord Remain Unwritten

'Word of God' is the Essence of Sikhism. It is the unspoken Speech of Lord.

It can be felt and understood only by His Own Grace. Nobody can make claims to make others grasp the 'Word Of God', 'the Ultimate Truth'- 'Gurbani'.

Today I am going to share the following words of Guru Ji with those who are interested in Gurbani. In this Shabad Guru Ji describes the uselessness of reading and writting all the writtings if the Mind is engrossed in Maya and Worldly Pride. To understand the Unspoken Speech of God, ONE HAS TO DIE IN 'THE WORD OF GOD':







Nanak Bani Nirankaar Paarbrahm Parmesar
Waho Waho Bani Nirankaar Hai Tis Jevad Avar Na Koi

ਜਗਿ ਪੰਡਿਤੁ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥
jag panddith viralaa veechaaree ||
How rare in this world is that scholar who reflects upon this.


ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟੇ ਸਭ ਫਿਰੈ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੀ ॥੬॥
bin sathigur bhaettae sabh firai ahankaaree ||6||
Without meeting the True Guru, all wander in ego. ||6||


ਜਗੁ ਦੁਖੀਆ ਸੁਖੀਆ ਜਨੁ ਕੋਇ ॥
jag dhukheeaa sukheeaa jan koe ||
The world is unhappy; only a few are happy.


ਜਗੁ ਰੋਗੀ ਭੋਗੀ ਗੁਣ ਰੋਇ ॥

The world wells up, and then subsides, losing its honor.


ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੂਝੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੭॥

He alone, who becomes Gurmukh, understands. ||7||


ਮਹਘੋ ਮੋਲਿ ਭਾਰਿ ਅਫਾਰੁ ॥
mehagho mol bhaar afaar ||
His price is so costly; His weight is unbearable.


ਅਟਲ ਅਛਲੁ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਧਾਰੁ ॥
attal ashhal guramathee dhhaar ||
He is immovable and undeceivable; enshrine Him in your mind, through the Guru's Teachings.


ਭਾਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਭਇਕਾਰੁ ॥
bhaae milai bhaavai bhaeikaar ||
Meet Him through love, become pleasing to Him, and act in fear of Him.


ਨਾਨਕੁ ਨੀਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥੮॥੩॥
naanak neech kehai beechaar ||8||3||
Nanak the lowly says this, after deep contemplation. ||8||3||

Gurbani eis jag meh chaanan
Gurbani alakh lakhiayaa
Gurbani Gavo Bhaee
charan kamal parabh kay nit Dhi-aava-o


So if we need to know God, need to understand Gurbani, we have to first accept this truth without any conditions, I-ness HAS TO WITHER AWAY COMPLETELY. All kintu, prantu, kayonkee(but, if, beacuse) have to die down. Otherwise all the effort will be like - kaagat ke bhaar moosa took gavaavat...

Through the Guru, Lord dwells within the mind :).

Guru Ji tells us inthe following Shabad:

English Translation:
Raag Gauree Poorbee, Fifth Mehl:
Listen, my friends, I beg of you: now is the time to serve the Saints!
In this world, earn the profit of the Lord's Name, and hereafter, you shall dwell in peace. ||1||
This life is diminishing, day and night. Meeting with the Guru, your affairs shall be resolved. ||1||Pause||
This world is engrossed in corruption and cynicism. Only those who know God are saved.
Only those who are awakened by the Lord to drink in this Sublime Essence, come to know the Unspoken Speech of the Lord. ||2||
Purchase only that for which you have come into the world, and through the Guru, the Lord shall dwell within your mind.
Within the home of your own inner being, you shall obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence with intuitive ease. You shall not be consigned again to the wheel of reincarnation. ||3||
O Inner-knower, Searcher of Hearts, O Primal Being, Architect of Destiny: please fulfill this yearning of my mind.
Nanak, Your slave, begs for this happiness: let me be the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||4||5||

Japji Sahib:

Last Pauri, Guru Ji tells:

English Translation:
Let self-control be the furnace, and patience the goldsmith.
Let understanding be the anvil, and spiritual wisdom the tools.
With the Fear of God as the bellows, fan the flames of tapa, the body's inner heat.
In the crucible of love, melt the Nectar of the Name,
and mint the True Coin of the Shabad, the Word of God.
Such is the karma of those upon whom He has cast His Glance of Grace.
O Nanak, the Merciful Lord, by His Grace, uplifts and exalts them. ||38||
