(“PURA PRABH ARADHYA PURA JAA KAA NAO, NANAK PURA PAYEA PURE KE GUN GAO”)
 
This servant of the guru and holy congregation (“sangat”) will take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the guru, Timeless one ,only Lover of all ,Guru of all ,Transcendental Lord of all (“akal purakh”) and entire  congregation (“sangat”) for their pursuit to know and experience the absolute silence (Peace) –
 
The Supreme Light – Complete lumination –Beyond attribute Formless, Eternal, Love Form of Timeless Great Great, Supreme Lord of all (“param jyot- puran parkash – nirgun saroop of akal purakh sahib ji”),
 
With the Graceful Grace of Guru (“gurkirpa”). 
 
This is the absolute silence & Peace –Supreme light of lights Complete Brightness (“param jyot puran parkash”)
 
Which takes you to the complete stability – (“atal awastha”) & Under Complete Blissfully Blessed infinitely graceful God’s Will (“puran hokum”) –

SUPREME STAGE OF REAL REALITY-SPIRITUALITY IS ACHIEVED BY UNDERSTANDING THE GOD’S DIVINE WILL 
("HUKUM BOOJH PARAM PAD PAI”),
 ALL (HAPPENING) IS INSIDE THE BLISSFUL DIVINE WILL, NOTHING OUTSIDE
(“HUKME ANDER SABH KO BAHAR HUKUM NA KOI”),
AS & WHEN DIVINE WILL SO IS HAPPENING 
(“JIVE JIV HUKUM TIVE TIV KAAR”),
 AS THE DIVINE WILL WANTS, SO IT HAPPENS
(“JIVE JIV HUKUM TIVE TIV HOWNA”),
 
And once you reach there you don’t hear anything else but the lovable praises of Only lover  (“kirtan”) being sung by Infinite Universe (“kot brahamand”) –
 
KAISI AARTI HOWE BHAVKHANDNA TERI AARTI – (“Kirtan Sohila”)
 
Through Wind Energy Guru (“ pawan guru”) –
 
WIND ENERGY GURU, WATER ELEMENT IS FATHER, WHOLE EARTH IS MOTHER
(“PAWAN GURU PANI PITA MATA DHARAT MAHAT”),
 
and your only aim of life remains to move on the path of  greatest philanthropy (“maha parupkaar”) –
THE VIRTUOUS PEOPLE HAVE COME WHO ARE NOT IN CYCLE OF BIRTH & DEATH. 
(“JANAM MARAN DOHU ME NAHIN JAN PAR UPKARI AYE.”)
 
The key to success is in following the Complete Truth wisdom (“puran gyan”) for Complete devotional worship (“ puran bhagti”) –

 MEDITATING ON COMPLETE GOD WHOSE ETERNAL AMBROSIAL NECTAR LOVE DRENCHED NAME IS COMPLETE,
LOVE FILLED TRUTH NANAK! COMPLETE WE HAVE GOT LETS SING THE LOVABLE PRAISES OF THE COMPLETE ONE
(“PURA PRABH ARADHYA PURA JAA KAA NAO,

NANAK PURA PAYEA PURE KE GUN GA.”)
 
We all are very sincerely trying to achieve freedom of life (Salvation) (“jeevan mukti”), Eternal Forever bliss & peace (“sada such”) –
 
RECITING “GUR,GUR” ( SUPREME GURU-GOD),FOREVER BLISS & HAPPINESS IS ACHIEVED ,
(“GUR GUR KARAT SADA SUKH PAYEA”),
 
To get relieved of the biggest sorrow – the cycle of life and death –
 BONDAGE OF BIRTH & DEATH
(“JANAM MARAN KA BANDHAN”),
 
And a complete peace by walking on the path of ambrosial love drenched God’s Name (“naam path”).  This doesn’t happen without the Loved Kindness of Unfathomable, Undying, Indescribable, Unreachable One & Without Kindness of God-Guru (“ agam agochar’s kirpa, gurkirpa”) –
 
(“GUR KIRPA TE BHAGAT KAMAI TABH EH MANAS DEHI PAEE”).  
WITH GURU’S ETERNAL NEVER ENDING LOVING GRACEFUL GRACE GOD’S LOVER HAS EARNED, THEN GOT THIS WONDERFUL HUMAN BIRTH
 
In order to make your pilgrimage – (“tirath”) more fruitful and faster you need to concentrate on certain key divine laws.  These are all hidden in Great great infinite Word-Wisdom Guru “Granth” – Wisdom Form of Ultimate Lover Almighty –Transcendental Timeless Lord  ( “ shri guru granth sahib ji – gyan saroop of akal purakh”) –
 
HOLY BOOK IS PLACE OF SUPREME GOD
(“POTHI PARMESHAR KA THAAN”),
RECITE IN COMPANY OF STRAIGHTENED, THE LOVING PRAISES OF ONE WHO DRIVES AWAY DARKNESS AND COMPLETE UNIVERSAL WISDOM
(“SADH SANG GOBIND GUN GAO PURAN BRAHAM GYAN”).
 
The person – (“sevak”) who follows these requirements very religiously will earn guru’s and Timeless eternal being’s unfathomable unlimited beyond limits & endless grace (“akal purakh’s agami anant apaar & beant kirpa”), and will have his Divine holy feet (“charans”) saturated in the heart of God’s  (“bhagat’s”) lover for ever –
 
ENTHRONE THE LORD’S DIVINE FEET IN HEART
(“CHARAN KANWAL RIDH MAHE URDHARO”).
 
Now what are these divine laws and how will they affect you while marching forward on the path of ambrosial Love nectar God’s name (“naam marg”)?
 
Complete Trust  (“Puran vishvaas”) and Faith (“shardha”) – absolute belief and commitment is the first and the foremost quality of a God’s Lover (“ bhagat”).  Worshiping or Loving God (“Bhagti”) is nothing but Full & Complete Faith (“puran shardha”) and Trust (“vishvaas”) on your guru and Timeless eternal Love being (“akal purakh”).  We all do say that Great Great Wisdom Form of formless one Guru “Granth” King Of kings (“shri guru granth”) sahib is the guru, but we don’t really practice Great great Wisdom form Guru “Granth” (“shri guru granth sahib ji”) as a guru.  Let us look in self and make an assessment where do we all stand at – Universal Wisdom Form Guru “Granth” (“shri guru granth sahib ji”) says:
 
1) GIVE ALL TO GURU BODY, MIND AND WEALTH (“ TAN MAN DHAN SABH SAUP GURU KO”)
 
Timeless Eternal Love being Lord of all lords Supreme sacrificial Lord (“Akal purakh”) is telling you to follow this divine law, it is word-wisdom from the eternity (“turqi bani”) – let us evaluate ourselves:
 
Do we give tenth of all our earnings (“daswandh “)& time to the guru – how else will you give the tan to the guru? The best way is defined in there:  God’s remembrance with recitation of his love-Name in heart is supreme in all (“prabh ka simran sabh te uncha”), are we doing this remembrance (“simran”) for 2.5 hours every morning?
 
If we do how many of us do it on a regular basis, without any break?  We have not given our mind to the guru if we have not earned the words said by the guru?  The guru is telling you to give up everything that you consider is yours body mind & wealth (“ tan man & dhan”), to him.  These are his words, are we honoring them, if not then that is ego-selfness (“ahankaar-haume”). 
 
We think these things belong to us, the fact is that all this is his lending (“amanat”), and he is asking you to give only one tenth of these back to him, and he is sitting inside you, judging you – weight, balance & balancer (“takkdi watta tolanhara”), you can’t escape from being judged correctly, can you?
 
Do we give Tenth (“daswandh”) of our earnings to the guru?  How else will you give wealth (“dhan”) to the guru?
 
EK BAST KARAN BIKHOT GAWAYE EK BHI NAA DE

DAS BHI HIR LE TO MURHA KO KAHA KARE (Sukhmani). 
 
There is no other way to offer wealth (“dhan”) to the guru – during the time of the ten guru sahibs, congregation (“sangat”) used to take the Tenth of all earnings (“daswandh”) to the gurus.  Every time we go to the Guru’s house (“gurudwara”) we look at our wallet and take out the smallest currency bill to offer to the guru, have you ever even thought of giving all the money in your valet to the guru?   And if you have done so it is good, if not then you figure out yourself where do you stand. 
 
If you are not giving (“daswandh”) to the guru then you are not sowing anything for your future –
 
(“JEHA BIJE SO LUNE”) – whatever you sow today the same you will reap later.
 
You can’t be relieved of the effects of the maya if you are not giving tenth of earnings & time (“daswandh”) to the guru.
 
Do you want to know more about where do we stand, or is this much enough? 
 
We do head bowing (“matha tekna”) when we go to the house of Guru (“ gurudwara”) as if we are doing a favor to him, just by doing so do you think that we have accepted him as a guru?  We don’t think so, if you have not earned his words, then you have not accepted him as your guru.  And therefore we can call ourselves as hypocrite/falsifier  (“pakhandi”), immoral (“ tankhahia”), and what not. 
 
We call ourselves as Sikh of Beloved Guru (“gursikhs”), do we deserve to be called so, Sikh of guur (“gursikh”) means guru’s servant (“Guru ka sevak”). Are we serving the guru?  The best way to serve the guru is to do what ever he tells you to do, and if you don’t do it then you have not accepted him as your guru in the real sense, and you are cheating yourself and cheating the guru.
 
Under such circumstances, how the guru can lift you up in spirituality in this dark age –Era of Machines (“kalyug”) – Era of darkness is chariot of Fire and falsehood is charioteer (“kalyug rath agan ka kood agey rathwaho”) (“asa di war”).
 
2) THE GURU IS TELLING YOU TO DO FLAT LYING PALM PRESSED GREETING (“DANDAUTH BANDHNA”): 
 
DO FLAT LYING PALM PRESSED PROSTRATION IN FEET OF GURU AND CONGREGATION, IS VIRTUOUS DEED (“ KAR DANDAUTH PUN WADDA HAI”) (Kirtan Sohila)
 
Do we do flat lying greeting (“dandauth”) when we go to the house of guru (“ gurudwara”)?  This is a very powerful divine law to break your ego/selfishness (“haume”), ego is a disease of most severity (“haume deeragh rog hai”) (“asa di war”), if you go to the guru’s House (“Gurghar”) and don’t do it, you have not earned guru’s words. By doing so you will be doing well to your soul, your ego will start to disappear, you will become humble.
 
Another example:
 
3) FIVE THIEVES ARE UNDER YOUR CONTROL  (“PANJ DOOT TUDH WAS KITE”)
 
Are we working to control the 5 thieves? Or are they controlling us?  In fact these five enemies – Sexual Lust (“kaam”), Anger  (“karodh”), Greed (“lobh”), Attachment (“moh”) & Ego/Pride (“ahankaar”), are governing us all.
 
There are an unlimited number of such  universal wisdom (“braham gyan”) in the holy divine book “granth” – are we putting this wisdom (“gyan”) in to our daily life?  If yes then we belong to the guru if not then we are not Sikh of beloved great great Guru (“gursikh”) & One whose face is towards Guru (“gurmukh”), but we are one who listens only to his mind (“manmukh”) and we are without any true face (away from Guru’s teaching)(“bemukh”). 
 
Rituals and outside dress – (“bana te baharli rehat”) doesn’t make a guru’s true disciple (“gursikh”), internal commitment, cleaning up your mind, heart and soul  –(“anderli rehat”) is the key to success –
 
(“REHAT PYARI MUJH KO SIKH PYARA NAHIN)” (“Dassam Patshah”). 
DISCIPLINE IS LOVABLE TO ME NOT DISCIPLE.(“ Tenth King of Kings”)
 
Just take one divine command inscribed in holy book of love (“hukumnama”), evaluate yourself in light of this divine command (“ hukumnama”) and work on it, that is all you have to do, everything will start to fall in the right place for you because then you will start to become a guru’s true student (“gursikh”) and one whose face is always towards Guru (“gurmukh”).
 
Similarly there are a countless number of divine laws hidden in guru’s loved word-wisdom (“gurbani”) – (“heera, moti & rattans”) – jewels and diamonds, these are gathered by the enlightened souls –
 
(“BRAHAM GYANI KA BHOJAN GYAN”),
FOOD FOR KNOWER OF UNIVERSAL WISDOM IS KNOWLEDGE/WISDOM,
 
(“SARVER ANDER HIRA MOTI SO HANSA KA KHANA”)
FOOD FOR SPIRITUAL SWANS ARE JEWELS & DIAMONDS OF WISDOM AND LOVE INSIDE THE LAKE OF HEART.   
 
Guru’s loving word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) is a unlimited and without any boundaries – (“mansrower”) – full of these priceless jewels and diamonds, the most precious – (“anmolak rattan”) being – ambrosial nectar God’s Love name (“ naam”) – Truth (“sat naam”) –Super omnipotent word  (“mahamanter”), One ek onkaar – beej manter – the origin –
 
(“BEEJ MANTER SARAB KO GYAN”) (“Sukhmani”). 
SEED MANTRA IS WISDOM OF ALL. (jewel of bliss)
(“Gurbani”) – (“gur”) means Timeless eternal lord of all (“akal purakh”), (“bani”) means word.  (“Gurbani”) means his words.  God’s word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) never stops, is continuously coming from him, even now it is coming, he is constantly singing divine word-wisdom (“gurbani”), six gurus had the capability to listen Lovable atmost humble God’s Love musings his word-wisdom (“gurbani”), sing it and write it, so that is what they did. God’s divine word-wisdom (“Gurbani”) is unlimited, it is infinity like him, no boundaries, it can’t be defined in its totality, it is self illuminated, self created (“saibhang”) – like Timeless eternal Lord of all (“akalpurakh”), that is why it is called his wisdom Form (“gyan saroop”). 
 
This servant (“sevak”) of the holy congregation  (“sangat”) has heard ever new God’s word-wisdom  (“gurbani”) several times, the first out of body experience was incredible (the micro Body (“suksham dehi”) left the body for about 40 minutes), it was in complete consciousness, it was a journey to realm of Truth (“sachkhand”) and it started with the God’s divine word-wisdom (“gurbani”), that seemed never heard before.  Also heard singing praises of lord of all (“kirtan”) like that in a similar incident at another time.  We will take some other opportunity to share such and other divine experiences with the congregation (“sangat”).
 
There are some other thoughts, which we will like to share with the congregation (“sangat”):
 
Always give first preference to the guru and holy congregation (“sangat”) – (“guru te sangat nu mukh rakhna hai”) -that is what (“gurmukh”) means. 
 
Don’t hurt anybody’s heart – (“kise da dil naa dukhao”) – god is present in every one, by hurting others we are hurting him, we need to love him, not hurt him –
 
(“MANDA KISE NAA BOLIE”) (Asa Di War),
NOT TO SPEAK ANY KIND OF HARSH WORDS
 
Always speak sweet words –
 
(“MITH BOLRA JI HAR SAJJAN SWAMI MORA”).
SWEET SPOKEN IS OMNIPOTENT MASTER AND LOVER OF MINE.
 
Basically you have to adopt the qualities of the Timeless eternal Lord of all (“ akal purakh”), more the better, to become a truthful person.
 
Every body else is above you, even maggot in manure (“bista ka jant”) is better than you, because he is in complete divine command (“puran hukam”), you have to become his servant too, because there is god in him too, even your spouse and your sons and daughters are above you. 
 
If you happen to go to India, then eat the food cooked by the person who does your cleaning of the toilet and house, the poorest person you know and from the so called lowest caste in your village.  Invite him on your dining table and serve him with the food cooked by your own hands.  
 
Always give to the poor people, making donations to the House of Guru (“Gurudwara”) will not be as rewarding as helping the poorest.  Buy them clothes, food and other things necessary for their survival, help the sick poor people, buy them medicine, pay for their treatment.
 
There is no me, my and mine – (“mera, menoo, me”) – when you say so you are giving preference to your body and mind, you are leaving behind the soul in which his presence is contained – OMNIPRESENT HAS PUT HIS DIVINE LIGHT IN YOU THAT IS HOW YOU HAVE CAME TO THIS WORLD (“HAR TUDH ME JYOT RAKHI TAAN TU JAG ME AYEA”) (“Anand Sahib”),(“ GHAT GHAT PURAN BRAHAM PARGAS, BRAHAM ME JAN JAN ME PAAR BRAHAM”). EVERY BIT IS COMPLETE UNIVERSAL LIGHT OF GOD ,CREATURE  IN UNIVERSE & BEYOND UNIVERSE IS IN CREATURE This will help you in killing your ego (“ haume”). Basically you have to surrender your body also to HIM, and this will help you in doing so, it works, and works great, just do it and enjoy the rewards.
 Only pray and ask– Shall we not have any desire of asking anything except God’s Name Truth (“MANGNA CHIT NAA AWE – NAAM”) is the highest gift, others things are not important, they will come by themselves, if you have God’s ambrosial nectar name (“naam”) you have everything, by asking for ambrosial nectar name (“naam”) you are asking himself – (“HAR SIMRAN ME AAP NIRANKARA”) OMNIPRESENT LOVER WHO DOES NOT HAVE ANY SHAPE, SIZE OR COLOR IS IN, REMEMBERING HIM. – And if you get him then what more do you want to have. 
 
If God’s ambrosial nectar name (“naam”) resides in your heart then you are free from infinite loop of birth & Death (“ jeevan mukt”) –
 
JISKE RIDHEY PAAR BRAHAM KA NIWAAS TIS KA NAAM SAT RAM DAAS (Sukhmani).
TRUE SERVANT OF TRUTH “RAAM” IS NAME FOR ONE WHOMS HEART IS BLOSSOMS WITH PARMANENT RESIDENCE OF GOD.
 Only ambrosial nectar name (“naam”) is real jewel (“sukhmani”) (gives the mind (“man”) real comfort (sukh) )–
 (“SUKHMANI SUKH AMRIT PRABH NAAM”). 
 
This is the happiness that lasts forever – (“sada such”) –
 MEDICINE TO ALL DISEASES IS AMBROSIAL NAME OF LORD TRUTH
(“SARAB ROG KA AWKHUD NAAM”) (“Sukhman”i).
 
Don’t desire for anything – (“trishna wadda rog lagga”) – desire is a serious sickness, it is maya that comes into play the moment you desire anything, maya is involved in fulfilling your desires, one of the five messengers of maya (“panj doot”) – your enemy, everything that belongs to you will come to you anyway – then why desire for anything .     Like the Five thieves (“panj doot”) – (“aasha”) desire, (“trishna”) deeper desire, (“mansha”) expectation , are very dangerous mental sicknesses.
 
Don’t indulge in criticism of anybody else – stay away from slandering (“nindyea”),gossiping (“ chugli”), bakhili, these are very dangerous, the moment you criticize somebody, Timeless eternal truth Being (“akal purakh”) immediately takes a big chunk of your loving devotion wealth (“bhagti dhan”) and deposits in the devotion (“bhagti”) account of the person you are criticizing., so criticize only yourself –
 WE ARE NOT GOOD ,AND NOBODY IS BAD –
(“HUM NAHIN CHANGE BURA NAHIN KOE”) –
 
criticism of the saint being (“sant purush”) is even ore dangerous – read “ashtpadi” 13 of “sukhmani” –
 
NANAK, ONE WHO SLANDERS A SAINT KEEPS ON TAKING REINCARNATIONS-
(“SANT KI NINDA NANKA BAHUR BAHUR AWTAAR”) –
SAINT’S SLANDERER GETS PUNISHMENT IN DIVINE COURT,
(“SANT KE NINDAK KO DARGEH MILE SAJAYE”),
 
Saint’s slanderer becomes ugly in form
(“SANT KAA NINDAK BIGAR ROOP HOE JAYE”) and so on.
 
Please accept this selfless service (“seva”) from this servant of  servants (“chakkar”) of the guru and holy congregation (“sangat”). Please forgive this slave (“sevak”) for any misrepresentations.
