This is the positive factor of such association.</span></span></p><p> </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'"> swD kY sMig nhI kCu Gwl ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang nahee ka<u>chh</u> <u>gh</u>aal.</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">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, there is no suffering. </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">This Tuk can be understood better if one understands the word ‘Suffering’. As we are in our lives we undergo pain and suffering. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Pain is biological in nature and is associated with the body, it cannot be avoided. The body is going to get hurt sometime or the other making us experience pain; body may become tiered lead to pain; one has to endure the pain caused by diseases etc</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">S</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">uffering is mental. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the causes of sufferings - desires attachments and vices leave the person. When the cause itself is not there how can the effect exist? Thus the person does not suffer 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">This is what Guru Sahib is conveying to us.</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'"> drsnu Bytq hoq inhwl ] </span></span><u><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">d</span></span></u><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">arsan <u>bh</u>ayta<u>t</u> ho<u>t</u> nihaal.</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">The very vision of the spiritually evolved pure people gives a blissful joy.</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 says that there is something in the person of the spiritually evolved pure people that one gets a very soothing feeling by the very sight of them. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It is my own understanding that as the person becomes spiritually more and more evolved, some sort of field develops around her or him – you may call it some sort of Aura. Any person who comes within that field experiences the soothing, blissful peace. Depending on the person’s level of evolution in spirituality, this aura may be very large in radius, even in kilometers. The people will feel the presence of divine even when it is not visible in this range.</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'"> swD kY sMig klUKq hrY ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang kaloo<u>kh</u>a<u>t</u> harai.</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">In the company of spiritually evolve pure people, all the negativities of the being get erased.</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 is telling us, that the purification of the inner self removes all that attaches the person to desires and sense objects for which the person indulges in improper, unethical corrupt practices. This is the result of company of spiritually evolved pure people, where in these negativities just leave the person; this happens because of the environment such company creates.</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 nrk prhrY ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang narak parharai.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">In the company of spiritually evolve pure people, the idea of hell disappears.</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">Narak means hell. As I understand, it is not a physical place, it is a conceptual idea. This idea of hell and heaven is a product of our functioning brain and resides in mind. We live our lives in it. Living a worldly life, when the happenings are pleasant we can say we are living in heaven. On the other end when life becomes difficult to live it is what we refer to as hell – I am passing through hell, you must have heard people saying. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">When the person lives a spiritual life, there is nothing for him that can create trouble for her or him. Living this Satvika life every happening is benign for this person. The person is Puneet, living in a state of perpetual blissful joy. This person has nothing to do with Narak (hell) of Swarga (heaven); these apply to individuals who are living in duality. For spiritual and divine people all the dualities disappear. The live in ‘ONE’</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 eIhw aUhw suhylw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kai sang eehaa oohaa suhaylaa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the life here and there becomes joyous.</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">As I understand, the phrase, here and there means now and later, this life and the next.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">When the person lives in the company of spiritually evolved pure people, here and there, this life and next life dissolve and merge into one.

The truth of her or his existence ‘The Sat’ within was all the time there in past, it is present now, and it will remain present in future also; it is constant. With this understanding, the blissful joyous existence of the being becomes permanent and ceases to be a subject of time or place.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">This is the result of the evolved person coming to know the game of Dualities.</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 ibCurq hir mylw ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u>sang bi<u>chh</u>ura<u>t</u> har maylaa.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the earlier separated become one with ‘The Sat’.</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">This Tuk does not need much elaboration. The environment created by the company of spiritually evolved pure people helps the new entrant to realize the Truth of its being. Body centered, Ahamkara based worldly living has made it think itself to be a separate entity. Now this truth dawn on the person that really it is ‘The Sat’ within. As we all know, there is only one ‘Sat’. From this it becomes clear that the person is one with all since ‘The Sat’ is in all the entities of the creation. This way, the person becomes one with entire creation and thus merges with ‘One’.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">7.</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> jo ieCY soeI Plu pwvY ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">jo i<u>chh</u>ai so-ee fal paavai.</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">What the person desires gets realized.</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-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The person, who is fully evolved in spirituality, does not have any worldly desire. Such person has become an instrument of ‘The Sat’. All such person wishes is for the protection, preservation and evolution of the creation of ‘The Sat’. This person works and wishes for the common good of all. Spiritually evolved people are selfless beings. They are always linked to the ‘Cosmic Intelligent Energy’ which is ‘The Sat’. What ever they wish gets supported by the infinite potential of this ‘Cosmic Intelligent Energy’ </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In one of my earlier post, I had explained that the thought is a form of energy and energy can be transformed into material. I am not elaborating it again here.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The wishes of the spiritually evolved people get materialize very fast.

[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 99539, member: 10"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Dear Khalsa Ji,[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]With the grace of ‘The Sat’, today I share my understanding of 6th Pauri of 7th Ashtapadee of Sukhmani Sahib with you.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][I][U][COLOR=#ff6600][/COLOR][/U][/I][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][I][U][COLOR=#ff6600]Please note that the English sentence after the Transliteration is not the exact literal translation of the sentence, it is the meaning of the tuk as understood by me[/COLOR][/U][/I][U][COLOR=#ff6600].[/COLOR][/U][/FONT][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][U]First the Summary[/U]:[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]As done in the previous Pauri of this Ashtapadee, Guru Sahib is conveying to his disciples the effect that the company of pure and spiritually evolved people will have on their being. This is the positive factor of such association.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/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] swD kY sMig nhI kCu Gwl ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kai sang nahee ka[U]chh[/U] [U]gh[/U]aal.

As we are in our lives we undergo pain and suffering. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Pain is biological in nature and is associated with the body, it cannot be avoided. The body is going to get hurt sometime or the other making us experience pain; body may become tiered lead to pain; one has to endure the pain caused by diseases etc[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]S[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]uffering is mental. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In the company of spiritually evolved pure people, the causes of sufferings - desires attachments and vices leave the person. When the cause itself is not there how can the effect exist? Thus the person does not suffer in the company of spiritually evolved pure people.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]This is what Guru Sahib is conveying to us.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]2.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] drsnu Bytq hoq inhwl ] [/FONT][/COLOR][U][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]d[/SIZE][/FONT][/U][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]arsan [U]bh[/U]ayta[U]t[/U] ho[U]t[/U] nihaal.

[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]It is my own understanding that as the person becomes spiritually more and more evolved, some sort of field develops around her or him – you may call it some sort of Aura. Any person who comes within that field experiences the soothing, blissful peace. Depending on the person’s level of evolution in spirituality, this aura may be very large in radius, even in kilometers. The people will feel the presence of divine even when it is not visible in this range.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]3.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swD kY sMig klUKq hrY ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kai sang kaloo[U]kh[/U]a[U]t[/U] harai.

This is the result of company of spiritually evolved pure people, where in these negativities just leave the person; this happens because of the environment such company creates.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]4.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swD kY sMig nrk prhrY ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kai sang narak parharai.

As I understand, it is not a physical place, it is a conceptual idea. This idea of hell and heaven is a product of our functioning brain and resides in mind. We live our lives in it. Living a worldly life, when the happenings are pleasant we can say we are living in heaven. On the other end when life becomes difficult to live it is what we refer to as hell – I am passing through hell, you must have heard people saying. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]When the person lives a spiritual life, there is nothing for him that can create trouble for her or him. Living this Satvika life every happening is benign for this person. The person is Puneet, living in a state of perpetual blissful joy. This person has nothing to do with Narak (hell) of Swarga (heaven); these apply to individuals who are living in duality. For spiritual and divine people all the dualities disappear.

These are after all dualities.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The environment that the company of spiritually evolved pure people creates, the new entrant over a period of time realizes the truth that she or he is not the body but ‘The Sat’ within it.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Here and there, this birth and next birth applies to the physical form i.e. body. The truth of her or his existence ‘The Sat’ within was all the time there in past, it is present now, and it will remain present in future also; it is constant. With this understanding, the blissful joyous existence of the being becomes permanent and ceases to be a subject of time or place.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]This is the result of the evolved person coming to know the game of Dualities.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]6.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swDsMig ibCurq hir mylw ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U]sang bi[U]chh[/U]ura[U]t[/U] har maylaa.

The environment created by the company of spiritually evolved pure people helps the new entrant to realize the Truth of its being. Body centered, Ahamkara based worldly living has made it think itself to be a separate entity. Now this truth dawn on the person that really it is ‘The Sat’ within. As we all know, there is only one ‘Sat’. From this it becomes clear that the person is one with all since ‘The Sat’ is in all the entities of the creation. This way, the person becomes one with entire creation and thus merges with ‘One’.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]7.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] jo ieCY soeI Plu pwvY ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]jo i[U]chh[/U]ai so-ee fal paavai.

Such person has become an instrument of ‘The Sat’. All such person wishes is for the protection, preservation and evolution of the creation of ‘The Sat’. This person works and wishes for the common good of all. Spiritually evolved people are selfless beings. They are always linked to the ‘Cosmic Intelligent Energy’ which is ‘The Sat’. What ever they wish gets supported by the infinite potential of this ‘Cosmic Intelligent Energy’ [/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In one of my earlier post, I had explained that the thought is a form of energy and energy can be transformed into material. I am not elaborating it again here.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The wishes of the spiritually evolved people get materialize very fast.
