The Eternal Divine Love filled word of wisdom (“Shabad”) “Hukam" ( means :divine command ) is written in the Almighty-Guru’s divine always pure and lovable word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) in a number of love filled divinely written stanzas (“Shaloks”) and is very commonly used in the religious circles.
In a layman’s language it is normally understood as a will of the God but this Divine word (“Shabad”) God’s will ( “Hukam”) has a very deep divine meaning hidden in it. Its importance is not less than the Almighty Himself. In fact the Divine word of wisdom (“Shabad”) God’s command ( “Hukam”) is as infinite as Timeless eternal Lord (“Akal Purakh”) Himself, there is no dimension, limit, depth or boundary of the Divine word of wisdom (“Shabad”) (“Hukam”). It is a complete Primal Eternal Truth in itself like Truth Supreme Love-lord who is beyond limits of universe (“Paar Braham Parmesar”). It is in no way different than Timeless eternal Lord of all (“Akal Purakh”) Himself.
The existence of Divine will (“Hukam”) means existence of God and vice versa. Though it is the Untold story of love and sacrifice of beyound universal limits, love of all Supreme Lord of all (“Akath Katha of Paar Braham Parmesar”) and can’t be described in words. It also can’t be understood in words; it can only be experienced and felt inside our heart center which is embodiment of love (“Hirda”), soul and mind with the advancements in spirituality and divinity.

Please make a note that every divine word (“Shabad”) of Almighty-Guru’s word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) is a Guru in itself.

There is an element of Primal Truth in it and this essence of the Primal Eternal Truth in every divine word (“Shabad”) plays the role of a Guru. Every divine word (“Shabad”) gives us the divine knowledge which removes the darkness from our inside and provides us with the divine light through divine wisdom.

Like the existence of a king is due to his commanding powers, the existence of any worldly position is due to its inherited commanding powers, its authority. And whenever these commanding powers and authority are withdrawn there is an end of a kingdom or a worldly position. In the same way the existence of the Almighty is due to His Infinite Powers, and due to these infinite powers at His disposal He is called “Sarabh Kala Bharpoor” (“Sarabh” – all, “Kala” – the power, “Bharpoor” – full off).
His Supremacy is due to all His Infinite Powers, that is why He is called
- King Of All kings (“Sabh Rajan Key Raja”),
- True King (“Sacha Patshah”),
- Giver of all creation (“Sarbh Jiaan Kaa Data”),
- Palan Hara,
- Birth Giver (“Janam Data”),
- Patshahi Patshah,
- King of all seen and unseen worlds (“Lok Parlok Ka Raja”).
All His Infinite Powers constitute His Commanding Powers, which is described as Divine word (“Shabad”) “Hukam”-Divine Command in God-Guru Almighty’s word-wisdom (“Gurbani”). All His powers are standing on the ONLY AND ONLY foundation of the Eternal Primal Truth Divine Word (“Shabad”) TRUTH “SAT”. In the Original Root Spell (“Mool Manter”): “Ik Oankaar Sat Naam”,(one God Named TRUTH) which signifies His Attribute-less Form (“Nirgun Saroop”), Supreme Light Full blown complete Luminance (“Param Jyot Puran Parkash”). And by virtue of His Infinite Commanding Powers, which is nothing but Divine Command full of Love and Truth (“Hukam”) His Kingdom never ends, His Kingdom is Primal & Eternal, His Kingdom has been there from the origin, from the beginning of the universe and is present now and will remain so for all ages to come, His Kingdom will remain intact for ever.
Before the creation happened Timeless eternal Love filled Truth Lord of All Lords (“Akal Purakh”) was sitting in Complete Silent deepest & deepest depth of meditative stage (“Sunn Smadhee”) for 36 ages (“Chattis – 36 Yug”), basically for an unknown period of time He was in this extremely indescribable wondrous silent deepest depth of meditative Stage (“Sunn Smadhee”), and first He created Himself and then He created His Ambrosial nectar of Love, Life and Sacrifice His Love-Name TRUTH (“ Naam”). Then the other creations followed, so the First Divine Command of lovingly will (“Hukam”) was His own creation and the creation of His Ambrosial Nectar Name TRUTH (“Naam”), that is why the Ambrosial nectar Name TRUTH (“Naam”) is as powerful as He Himself, the Ambrosial Nectar Name TRUTH (“Naam”) has infinite powers, the Ambrosial Nectar TRUTH (“Naam”) is the Origin of all Creations, and that is why the TRUTH (“Naam”) is the Highest Divine Command Of Love (“Hukam”) – One Name is Divine Loving Command (“Eko naam hukamHai”).
The entire divinity and spirituality revolves around Ambrosial Nectar Name Truth (“Naam”):
Without Name no Place :
(“Bin Naavey Nahin Ko Thaon”):
the entire creation is based on Ambrosial Nectar name (“Naam”). There is no place in the entire creation which is not standing on this foundation of Ambrosial Nectar Name (“Naam”) the foundation of Eternal Truth “SAT” which is the ambrosial nectar Name of God (“ Naam”). The entire Guru’s Loved Blessed Graceful divine word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) is the Holy-Truth Praise for eternal forever Truth Name of Lord of all Lords (“Mahima of Naam”). Every Word of Divine Guru’s Truth Selfless word-wisdom (“Shabad of Gurbani”) takes us down to the Origin The God’s Love-Name (“Naam”). Name of God is Ambrosial Nectar which makes one out of this unending cycle of birth & Death (“Naam is the Amrit”), This Truth never dies, is eternal, ever present, nonperishable, eternal truth, primal truth, and with only Loving remembrance & unstoppable recitation of God’s Name (“Naam Simran”) we can reach the ultimate heights of spiritual world.
The entire universe operates under the infinite commanding powers of Timeless Lover of All (“Akal Purakh”), which is again called the Divine Will filled with bliss & Love (“Hukam”) of Almighty Timeless Lord (“Akal Purakh”). Everything that happens with us and around us is the Complete divine will of God (“Hukam.”). Everything we do is done under the Divine will (“Hukam.”). His Divine command (“Hukam”) governs our destiny. Like a kingdom has its own king and a constitution for running the government, the laws and policies to run the kingdom, the systems and organizations to run the government and administration, same way the King of the Seen & unseen Worlds (“Lok Parlok”), the Infinity, the Complete Supreme Lord of All Lords who is always and forever beyond the limits of this universe (“Paar Braham Parmesar”) has established His own divine constitution and divine laws and divine policies to run His Kingdom of Entire seen & unseen worlds of this universe ,in every plane , in every dimension which one can reach at any level of spiritual and physical journey (“Lok Parlok”). And for all this the basis is His Divine Command of utmost Love which cannot ever be explained fully by any means (“Hukam”), the Eternal Truth, the Primal Truth. And our Guru King of Kings ,the love birds of Love-lord (“Sahibans”) have very kindly presented this divine constitution and divine laws in the form of utmost Lovable divine and always true Guru’s word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) for us to follow.
The golden rule is to follow His Divine Constitution and His Divine Laws for us to remain stable, undistracted, clean from inside, calm and in complete silence, Light Form (“Jyot Saroop”), stay above all worldly sorrows and happiness, stay above all mental and physical ailments.
Following His constitutional laws, which are nothing, but the divine laws given in Guru’s Truth Word-wisdom filled with contentment and love (“Gurbani”), the divine wisdom, the real Wisdom of Supreme Guru-God (“Gurmat”) we can win over the Maya, we can win over the Five thieves of Truth Wisdom (“Panj Doots”) and all desires, we can win over our mind and be one with Almighty.
The destiny becomes clean and directed towards the Almighty when we start to follow these divine laws and divine wisdom, the wisdom of the Supreme Guru-God (“Gur”) and Guru, all our deeds are turned on the path of truth, we start to conduct truthfully, we see, speak and hear the truth and only truth, we deliver the truth and above all we serve the truth and service of the truth is the highest service, and by doing so we earn the truth and we become the truth, our life becomes smooth and nice, it becomes peaceful, full of eternal happiness and eternal never ending enjoyment, we bring complete silence, peace, sacrifice, kindness, fearlessness, single vision, humility, and all the divine qualities of the Almighty and so we become a Sikh in the true sense, we become a Guru’s True Disciple (“Gursikh”) in the true sense, we become a one whose deeds are always in line with Guru’s divine command (“Gurnukh”) in the true sense.
