This is the positive factor of such association.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">This can also be used as the criteria to determine the persons who will qualify for Saadh-Sangat. If in the company of a person, whom one presume to be a pure and evolved, these positive changes in do not start manifesting in your being, than there are good chances that the person is not a pure and spiritually evolved person. This way Guru Sahib is protecting us from possible deception.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">1.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> swDsMig dusmn siB mIq ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u>sang <u>d</u>usman sa<u>bh</u> mee<u>t</u>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people the enemies become friends.</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib has stated the natural consequence of spiritual evolution that takes place in the person in the company of spiritually evolved pure people. Most of the enmities result from greed, excessive desire to possess, improper social interaction, jealousy for some reason etc. all if these impact on ego which feels hurt. In the company of spiritually evolved pure people ego gets dissolved, there is no I-ness that can get hurt. Thus there is no enemy. Spiritually evolved people see ‘The Sat’ in each entity of the creation of which they too are a part. The teachings of Guru Sahib one one-ness of all get realized. When all are one, then there is no other to fight with. This way the duality – friends and enemies get dissolved and only ‘one’ remains. Thus all become friend a part of one’s own existence.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">2.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> swDU kY sMig mhw punIq ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u>oo kai sang mahaa punee<u>t</u>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the person becomes such that she or he cannot become impure, no matter what happens.</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib has used the word ‘Puneet’ This word needs to be understood. The word ‘Pavitra’ means pure. Puneet means beyond this level of evolution. Pavitra (pure) can become impure by intrusion of impurities, but Puneet means which can never become impure, it rejects the impurities in a natural way. This happens in nature too. When the molten metal solidifies the grains get formed. In the process of formation they reject the impurities in a natural way. The impurities have no alternative but to remain on the outer boundaries of the grain as the grain does not accept impurities. In the melt large numbers of grains get formed simultaneously, each does the same – keep rejecting the impurities. The result is the impurities get trapped at the boundaries between two adjacent grains. The persons who evolve naturally under the influence of and in an environment created by spiritually pure people, the brain formatting of the young becomes such that it always and naturally rejects the impure inputs that are received by the brain as input. Such a person i.e. Puneet even cleanse others that come in contact with her or him.</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'"> swDsMig iks isau nhI bYru ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u>sang kis si-o nahee bair.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, no enmity cease to exists</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib has pointed a natural effect of selflessness which included egoless nature. A person of such brain formatting can only have a mind which sees ‘The Sat’ and thus herself or himself in all that exist. How can this person have enmity or hatred towards anyone? There is no other to hate or fight with. In fact there are not many for him – all are one – duality and plurality all get fused into one. Guru Sahib points to us that such state of being develops in the company of spiritually evolved pure people.</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'"> swD kY sMig n bIgw pYru ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang na beegaa pair.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">In the company of the spiritually evolved pure people, one does not bend her or his step (step wrongly)</span></span></span><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">.</span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>My </u></span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><u>understanding</u>:</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">What Guru Sahib has said about feet, that the feet of the spiritually evolved pure person remain steady and contact the ground is proper flat position and never in bent position as it happens with us occasionally. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">As I understand, this statement of Guru Sahib does not refer the physical state of the person who has evolved in the company of pure spiritual people, but refers to the mental state. What is said just does not apply to feet alone, it applies to all the five Karmendriyas (tongue, hands, feet, organ of excretion and organ of reproduction). When Guru Sahib speaks about the steady nature of evolved person’s feet, by implication it means that it is being used in the way nature wants us to use it, using it for the purpose for which this faculty to act has been provided for means the steady nature of the Karmendriyas. When for some reason we step with the bent feat and even sprain our ankle, it means the control of our functioning brain over this Karmendriya was some what lacking. The person living in the company of spiritually evolved pure people have all the Karmendriyas trained to remain steady, they never go astray. Such a person knows what its brain is thinking and what action it is commanding to the Gyanendriyas and Karmendriyas. This is what is meant by total awareness.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">This is what the above Tuk conveys to me.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">5.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> swD kY sMig nwhI ko mMdw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang naahee ko man<u>d</u>aa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure persons, no one seems to be lowly.</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib tells us that the brain formatting, of the persons who grow in the company of spiritually evolved people, is such that she or he sees only ‘The Sat’ within the person, thus there is no one lowly for her or him. Further, any person in the worldly nature is classified as high or low base on some criteria – possession, height, social standing, office position etc. Each of such criteria gives rise to duality. For the person who has grown in the company of spiritually evolved pure persons, dualities do not exist. Each person is part of creation of ‘The Sat’, there the matter starts and end; there is no further elaboration – you can see this being practiced by Sikhs in the institution of langar.</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'"> swDsMig jwny prmwnµdw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u>sang jaanay parmaanan<u>d</u>aa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The person living in the company of spiritually evolved pure persons knows what the supreme bliss is.</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib has said the obvious.

Permanent serenity dawns of the person.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">8.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> swD kY sMig qjY sBu Awpu ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang <u>t</u>ajai sa<u>bh</u> aap.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people the person’s ‘I-ness’ gets dissolved.</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> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib points to us the natural consequence of the company of spiritually evolved pure people. In such company person’s accent moves from the external form of she or he encounters to the formless within it. This formless is same every where. As the formless is ‘The Sat’ and it pervades every where in the cosmos, it has to be continuous and One only. Naturally when the person learns to focus of ‘The Sat’ that is within, the person doing so will see the continuity and One-ness of it very clearly. Naturally the person will realize that that all are one. With this realization there is no sense of ‘I-ness’ left in the person, which in the worldly existence distinguishes one being from the other. With this dawning realization dawning on the person, every thing merges into ‘1’ – ‘The Ek Ongkar’ – There is no ‘I-ness’ left.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">9.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> Awpy jwnY swD bfweI ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">aapay jaanai saa<u>Dh</u> badaa-ee.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">On her or his own (from within) the person now realizes the greatness of the spiritually evolved pure people.</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-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Guru Sahib tells us, that with the realization that all that is, in fact is ‘One’ and the consequent, permanent and total loss of ‘I-ness’ the person becomes the spiritually evolved pure person.

This is the positive factor of such association.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]This can also be used as the criteria to determine the persons who will qualify for Saadh-Sangat. If in the company of a person, whom one presume to be a pure and evolved, these positive changes in do not start manifesting in your being, than there are good chances that the person is not a pure and spiritually evolved person. This way Guru Sahib is protecting us from possible deception.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]1.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swDsMig dusmn siB mIq ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U]sang [U]d[/U]usman sa[U]bh[/U] mee[U]t[/U].

Most of the enmities result from greed, excessive desire to possess, improper social interaction, jealousy for some reason etc. all if these impact on ego which feels hurt. In the company of spiritually evolved pure people ego gets dissolved, there is no I-ness that can get hurt. Thus there is no enemy. Spiritually evolved people see ‘The Sat’ in each entity of the creation of which they too are a part. The teachings of Guru Sahib one one-ness of all get realized. When all are one, then there is no other to fight with. This way the duality – friends and enemies get dissolved and only ‘one’ remains. Thus all become friend a part of one’s own existence.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]2.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swDU kY sMig mhw punIq ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U]oo kai sang mahaa punee[U]t[/U]. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=blue][FONT=Tahoma]In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the person becomes such that she or he cannot become impure, no matter what happens.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=navy][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][U]My understanding[/U]:[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Guru Sahib has used the word ‘Puneet’ This word needs to be understood. The word ‘Pavitra’ means pure. Puneet means beyond this level of evolution. Pavitra (pure) can become impure by intrusion of impurities, but Puneet means which can never become impure, it rejects the impurities in a natural way. This happens in nature too. When the molten metal solidifies the grains get formed. In the process of formation they reject the impurities in a natural way. The impurities have no alternative but to remain on the outer boundaries of the grain as the grain does not accept impurities. In the melt large numbers of grains get formed simultaneously, each does the same – keep rejecting the impurities. The result is the impurities get trapped at the boundaries between two adjacent grains. The persons who evolve naturally under the influence of and in an environment created by spiritually pure people, the brain formatting of the young becomes such that it always and naturally rejects the impure inputs that are received by the brain as input. Such a person i.e. Puneet even cleanse others that come in contact with her or him.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]3.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swDsMig iks isau nhI bYru ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U]sang kis si-o nahee bair.

A person of such brain formatting can only have a mind which sees ‘The Sat’ and thus herself or himself in all that exist. How can this person have enmity or hatred towards anyone? There is no other to hate or fight with. In fact there are not many for him – all are one – duality and plurality all get fused into one. Guru Sahib points to us that such state of being develops in the company of spiritually evolved pure people.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]4.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swD kY sMig n bIgw pYru ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kai sang na beegaa pair.

[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]As I understand, this statement of Guru Sahib does not refer the physical state of the person who has evolved in the company of pure spiritual people, but refers to the mental state. What is said just does not apply to feet alone, it applies to all the five Karmendriyas (tongue, hands, feet, organ of excretion and organ of reproduction). When Guru Sahib speaks about the steady nature of evolved person’s feet, by implication it means that it is being used in the way nature wants us to use it, using it for the purpose for which this faculty to act has been provided for means the steady nature of the Karmendriyas. When for some reason we step with the bent feat and even sprain our ankle, it means the control of our functioning brain over this Karmendriya was some what lacking. The person living in the company of spiritually evolved pure people have all the Karmendriyas trained to remain steady, they never go astray. Such a person knows what its brain is thinking and what action it is commanding to the Gyanendriyas and Karmendriyas. This is what is meant by total awareness.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]This is what the above Tuk conveys to me.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]5.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swD kY sMig nwhI ko mMdw ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kai sang naahee ko man[U]d[/U]aa.

Further, any person in the worldly nature is classified as high or low base on some criteria – possession, height, social standing, office position etc. Each of such criteria gives rise to duality. For the person who has grown in the company of spiritually evolved pure persons, dualities do not exist. Each person is part of creation of ‘The Sat’, there the matter starts and end; there is no further elaboration – you can see this being practiced by Sikhs in the institution of langar.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]6.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swDsMig jwny prmwnµdw ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U]sang jaanay parmaanan[U]d[/U]aa.

In such company person’s accent moves from the external form of she or he encounters to the formless within it. This formless is same every where. As the formless is ‘The Sat’ and it pervades every where in the cosmos, it has to be continuous and One only. Naturally when the person learns to focus of ‘The Sat’ that is within, the person doing so will see the continuity and One-ness of it very clearly. Naturally the person will realize that that all are one. With this realization there is no sense of ‘I-ness’ left in the person, which in the worldly existence distinguishes one being from the other. With this dawning realization dawning on the person, every thing merges into ‘1’ – ‘The Ek Ongkar’ – There is no ‘I-ness’ left.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]9.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] Awpy jwnY swD bfweI ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]aapay jaanai saa[U]Dh[/U] badaa-ee.
