[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 76736, member: 5290"] [COLOR=Black][B]Respected aad ji,[/B] I am guided by the commentary of sahib Singh ji and translation of Sant Singh ji Khalsa. Commentary of Sahib Singh ji is also silient about whether the fear of God turned on the mind or it is the light of the mind that leads one to have fear of lord. Both have been taken as concurrent phenomenon occuring in body and mind i.e Fear of lord and the occurance of the light in the mind ,probably, to avoid any confusion in this regard. [U][B]Fear of God and Light in Mind[/B][/U] Nonetheless, your question is pertinent/valid as something should precede the other. I am tempted to draw a conclusion that both the events take place in mind and not in body and hence the Fear of God should precede the appearance of the light in mind. The appearance of the light is the knowledge or the spiritual wisdom that wells up in the mind on account of love of Lord or Naam or sabad that I am using as synonyms as has done by Sahib singh ji.There should not be a problem in this regard as discussed below. [U][B]Naam and Sabad: Synonyms[/B][/U] At many places where Naam and sabad are not read in the context as per their literal meaning Sahib Singh ji has also taken a recourse to such a presumption. This is a valid presumption as to many of us neither Naam is known nor Sabad is known and hence that the simran we do is reflective of the Love for the Lord . [U][B]Sabad and Meaning[/B][/U] Line containing Rahao[URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/#_ftn1"][1][/URL] [U][B]Note: Presumption:[/B][/U] 1.Sabad/Naam and Love of Lord are treated as same [synonyms] Oh my mind, place your consciousness on Sabad and swim through this worldly sea of human affairs. Those Gurmukhs who have not undersood the Naam/Love of Lord will remain in the cycle of Reincarnation[URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/#_ftn2"][2][/URL]. The body is reduced to ashes and the mind becomes like a piece of rusted iron on account of love of Maya i.e the big illusion. One is attacked by the lower qualities and falsehood if one remains engrossed in Maya and/or if one is not engrossed in Sabad or love of Lord i.e. does not engage oneself in Simran or any similar activity that is reflective of Love of Lord. [1] [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/#_ftnref1"][1][/URL] The emphasis in this ‘sabad’ should be on ‘Sabad’ and ‘Naam’/Love of Lord.][Rahao] [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/#_ftnref2"][2][/URL][Note : The word employed is Gurmukh. Gurmukh appears whenever Gurus have to imply something positive but here it is not so.Any reason.? The reason should be discussed at the end or separately.] 2.Only that body is said to be pure and immaculate that is imbued with the love of Lord/Naam and It is in the fear of God that one’s tongue tastes the Naam through Simran/love of Lord.[2] 3.It is through the Truth i.e. Him that Air is produced, and through Air water is produced.

The body of the five elements is dyed in the Fear of the True One; the mind is filled with the True Light. [It is in this line that Fear of God should precede the light in the mind/welling up of spiritual wisdom.] O Nanak, your demerits shall be forgotten; the Guru shall preserve your honor. [[I]P.S. [/I]Although it appears a very simple translation and cut and paste work.It has taken a good number of hours. It may still be defective due to lack of appreciation. You may kindly opine. I shall post the reason as to why/how the Term 'Gurmukh' has to be assigned positive meaning.] Regards.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
