Here, as I understand, perception is not just limited to what is physical and manifested, but also includes the abstract and intangible, which we sense through higher faculties of the functioning brain. This includes the idea of ‘The Sat’; which ultimately, with the individual’s effort and the grace ‘The Sat’, is experienced by spiritually evolved individuals. Such a capability is amazing. We owe so much to ‘The Sat’.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">3.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> ijh pRswid bolih AMimRq rsnw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">jih parsaa<u>d</u> boleh amri<u>t</u> rasnaa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">By whose grace one is able to utter the ambrosial words </span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">We have the most evolved vocal capabilities among all the living beings that ‘The Sat’ created.

This percolates into the being of the person and it translates into the sweet speech the evolved people have no matter hostile or harsh the environment is. The lives of our gurus are full of such examples. We have to be grateful to ‘The sat’ for all this.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">4.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> ijh pRswid suiK shjy bsnw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">jih parsaa<u>d</u> su<u>kh</u> sehjay basnaa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">By whose grace one lives joyfully and with ease.</span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">If we study the present and the past way of living by humans, we notice that all the time humans have developed ways to protect themselves from the oppressive conditions of the nature. Humans made dwellings to live in and to protect themselves from rain, snow heat etc. They learnt about fire to keep them warm and to cook food which allowed a wider rage of eatables which their digestive system could cope with. They learn the medicinal values of what was available in nature to get over diseases and live healthy life. Domesticated animals to assist them in work and to provide them milk and meat, created means of transport allowing them to move around, designed weapons to protect themselves from more powerful beings. The same is going on even in today’s world – things are becoming better and better. Other living beings of the creation of ‘The Sat’ remained as they were. This has been possible because of the way humans are physically constituted and the extra ordinary metal capacity that ‘The Sat’ gave us. We live joyfully and with relative ease because of what ‘The Sat’ incorporated in us. The deep sense of gratitude that we must have for ‘The Sat’ is what Guru Sahib is pointing out.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">5. </span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'">ijh pRswid hsq kr clih ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">jih parsaa<u>d</u> hasa<u>t</u> kar chaleh.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">By whose grace the hands move to work.</span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Guru Sahib knew all. He knew that design of human hand is very special. Our ability to hold coupled with the possibilities that the thumb gives is an asset in working on items that we human need. Guru Sahib tells, to each one of us in his audience, that this has ability is not because of us; it is given to us by ‘The Sat’; it has come to us by the grace of ‘The Sat’ – we must never forget this.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">6.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> ijh pRswid sMpUrn Plih ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">jih parsaa<u>d</u> sampooran faleh.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">By whose grace you grow to your full potential</span></span></span></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Guru Sahib tells us very clearly that only with the grace of ‘The Sat’ we can grow to a level which the ultimate potential allows us.

This percolates into the being of the person and it translates into the sweet speech the evolved people have no matter hostile or harsh the environment is. The lives of our gurus are full of such examples. We have to be grateful to ‘The sat’ for all this.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]4.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] ijh pRswid suiK shjy bsnw ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]jih parsaa[U]d[/U] su[U]kh[/U] sehjay basnaa.[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][COLOR=blue][FONT=Tahoma][FONT=Times New Roman]By whose grace one lives joyfully and with ease.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][U]My understanding[/U]:[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]If we study the present and the past way of living by humans, we notice that all the time humans have developed ways to protect themselves from the oppressive conditions of the nature. Humans made dwellings to live in and to protect themselves from rain, snow heat etc. They learnt about fire to keep them warm and to cook food which allowed a wider rage of eatables which their digestive system could cope with. They learn the medicinal values of what was available in nature to get over diseases and live healthy life. Domesticated animals to assist them in work and to provide them milk and meat, created means of transport allowing them to move around, designed weapons to protect themselves from more powerful beings. The same is going on even in today’s world – things are becoming better and better. Other living beings of the creation of ‘The Sat’ remained as they were. This has been possible because of the way humans are physically constituted and the extra ordinary metal capacity that ‘The Sat’ gave us. We live joyfully and with relative ease because of what ‘The Sat’ incorporated in us. The deep sense of gratitude that we must have for ‘The Sat’ is what Guru Sahib is pointing out.[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]5.
