Yet the person is not recognize this, as instrument of ‘The Sat’ it considers itself only as a humble servant of ‘The Sat’. This becomes such persons natural disposition because of its inner realization that this body is given by ‘The Sat’ for it to act as instrument of ‘The Sat’ and the functioning brain which generates its mind and thus its attributes and commands for actions are all illuminated by ‘The Sat’ – the prime mover is ‘The Sat’. The person as it appears to others is a non-entity; such person’s totality belongs to ‘The Sat’. There is nothing in this person which can be called ‘I’ in it. Such person is highest is spiritual domain and lowest as the worldly yard stick will measure it. As the Braham-Gyani works in this world, it remains naturally humble. This sense of humility is not a pretence or learned mannerism or acquired disposition; it is natural – Guru Sahib has already said the Braham-Gyani is Nirlaip, without any artificial coating. </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'"> bRhm igAwnI sy jn Bey ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">barahm gi-aanee say jan <u>bh</u>a-ay.</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">Only those become Braham-Gyani.</span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">10</span></span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'WebAkharThick'"> nwnk ijn pRBu Awip kryie ]2] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">naanak jin para<u>bh</u> aap karay-i. ||2||</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'">O Nanak, whom God Himself makes so. ||2||</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">The person becomes Braham-Gyani because of the illumination its being receives from ‘The Sat’.

Its being is strait forward and simple. The information processing in its brain is deep and effective. Nothing among the worldly dirt can attach itself to this person’s being. The person has no ‘I-ness’ in its being and thus has no desire for sense gratification.

Yet the person is not recognize this, as instrument of ‘The Sat’ it considers itself only as a humble servant of ‘The Sat’. This becomes such persons natural disposition because of its inner realization that this body is given by ‘The Sat’ for it to act as instrument of ‘The Sat’ and the functioning brain which generates its mind and thus its attributes and commands for actions are all illuminated by ‘The Sat’ – the prime mover is ‘The Sat’. The person as it appears to others is a non-entity; such person’s totality belongs to ‘The Sat’. There is nothing in this person which can be called ‘I’ in it. Such person is highest is spiritual domain and lowest as the worldly yard stick will measure it. As the Braham-Gyani works in this world, it remains naturally humble. This sense of humility is not a pretence or learned mannerism or acquired disposition; it is natural – Guru Sahib has already said the Braham-Gyani is Nirlaip, without any artificial coating.
