There is nothing that the little one can give back. This one way love is the purest from of love. The child develops a sense of affection towards its care takers without knowing it. This is the beginning of formatting of brain for love based living. As we grow this base gets polluted because the element of greed, sense of possession, selfishness etc enter into the way our brain functions. The love based function of our brain which we had in our childhood gets clouded by this *******ed sense of self centeredness and ‘I-ness’. How ever if we retain the love based brain formatting and with the growing realisation that it the ‘The Sat’ who supports us and our caretakers in early childhood were only instruments of ‘The Sat’, the love for the parents can be further extended to ‘The Sat’. As we grow spiritually, this love gets further intensified. This pure form of love becomes a link for us to realise ‘The Sat’ which resided in us. This realisation gets intensified over a period of time and it influences each aspect of our being. Ultimately this love fuses with the Love that the creator has for its creation which includes us. This love encompasses both the lover and the loved, they both become one and at that stage one experiences ‘The Sat’. This, as I understand, is the meaning of ‘Niranjan Daras’ through love (The vision of ‘The Sat’) as stated by Guru Sahib in the above Tuk </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'"> pr iqRA rUpu n pyKY nyqR ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">par <u>t</u>ari-a roop na pay<u>kh</u>ai nay<u>t</u>ar.</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 eyes do not get attached to the beauty of others’ wives.</span></span></span></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">Through this Tuk, Guru Sahib asks his Sikhs to see the entire humanity as human beings only. Gender difference should not be the basis of our eyes seeking some object of gratification for senses. We all see flowers, they are beautiful, we admire this creation of ‘The Sat’ we do not try to possess there flowers. The same should apply to entire creation including humans. This needs a very specific brain formatting which can be achieved through some effort and discipline. The best way to acquire such frame of mind is by training oneself to see ‘The Sat’ in every human being. As one progresses in this self development and training, the body of the person will loose the importance in our thought process which it had earlier. Ultimately one will see every entity as a creation of ‘The Sat’ – the sensuality triggered by the beauty of the women will get dissolved.</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 kI thl sMqsMig hyq ] </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">saa<u>Dh</u> kee tahal sa<u>t</u>sang hay<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">Who moves around in search of company of pure humans and serves them.</span></span></span></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 asks his Sikhs to keep looking for individuals who a=have evolved and become pure.

[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=blue]Functioning of the brain based on love is the way (Basis) to experience ‘The Sat’.[/COLOR][COLOR=navy][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][U]My understanding[/U]:[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]‘The Sat’ supports its entire creation the way mother supports its little ones. There is nothing that the little one can give back. This one way love is the purest from of love. The child develops a sense of affection towards its care takers without knowing it. This is the beginning of formatting of brain for love based living. As we grow this base gets polluted because the element of greed, sense of possession, selfishness etc enter into the way our brain functions. The love based function of our brain which we had in our childhood gets clouded by this *******ed sense of self centeredness and ‘I-ness’. How ever if we retain the love based brain formatting and with the growing realisation that it the ‘The Sat’ who supports us and our caretakers in early childhood were only instruments of ‘The Sat’, the love for the parents can be further extended to ‘The Sat’. As we grow spiritually, this love gets further intensified. This pure form of love becomes a link for us to realise ‘The Sat’ which resided in us. This realisation gets intensified over a period of time and it influences each aspect of our being. Ultimately this love fuses with the Love that the creator has for its creation which includes us. This love encompasses both the lover and the loved, they both become one and at that stage one experiences ‘The Sat’. This, as I understand, is the meaning of ‘Niranjan Daras’ through love (The vision of ‘The Sat’) as stated by Guru Sahib in the above Tuk [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]3.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] pr iqRA rUpu n pyKY nyqR ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]par [U]t[/U]ari-a roop na pay[U]kh[/U]ai nay[U]t[/U]ar. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=blue]The eyes do not get attached to the beauty of others’ wives.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][U]My understanding[/U]:[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Through this Tuk, Guru Sahib asks his Sikhs to see the entire humanity as human beings only. Gender difference should not be the basis of our eyes seeking some object of gratification for senses. We all see flowers, they are beautiful, we admire this creation of ‘The Sat’ we do not try to possess there flowers. The same should apply to entire creation including humans. This needs a very specific brain formatting which can be achieved through some effort and discipline. The best way to acquire such frame of mind is by training oneself to see ‘The Sat’ in every human being. As one progresses in this self development and training, the body of the person will loose the importance in our thought process which it had earlier. Ultimately one will see every entity as a creation of ‘The Sat’ – the sensuality triggered by the beauty of the women will get dissolved.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]4.[/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=maroon][FONT=WebAkharThick] swD kI thl sMqsMig hyq ] [/FONT][/COLOR][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]saa[U]Dh[/U] kee tahal sa[U]t[/U]sang hay[U]t[/U].
