A verse from SGGS can have different meaning for different people. We live, feel good, contented by mere recital of bani. That is at our worldly level, of five senses. Nothing wrong in that…. If by any chance or His Grace we go beyond this…. and ponder on the meaning of Gurbani… it will be really great. It will be beginning of a great journey in our life.. A learned (& shall i say awakened) soul once told me that God lives in the spaces between the words in SGGS. We go so fast that we often miss HIM and hardly pause for HIM.<\/p>\n
‘Satgur nu sab ko vekhda jeta jagat sansar, diththe mukt na hovei jicher shabad na kare vichar’ (the entire world looks towards the true guru, One is not liberated by merely looking towards the guru, but by contemplating on Guru’s Word)<\/p>\n
There are hundreds of such metaphors, examples and comparisons just to jolt our logical mind. That is the only purpose of such examples…. to make us understand the true meaning of Gurbani.. for Bani has come from Dhur (dhur ki bani ayee) and is based on totally different plane. We have to raise ourselves to that level to understand the true meanings\/treasures hidden in Gurbani.<\/p>\n
If we donot do so, our life will be sheer waste…..and if that happens, nothing can be more tragic.<\/p>\n
To raise ourselves to that level is the tougher than anything ..given the worldly attachments and attractions (varied roops of maya). They r so beautiful and so real…. its difficult to break them.<\/p>\n
Gurbani gives us the gur (formula) to break out of them ie if we follow what our Guru is telling us rather than merely repeating the verses. Guruji doesnot want us to be a scholar\/pundit of SGGS. We should try to focus on the what is being said and try to follow it in our life. ( Do u think a father will be more pleased with his son who obeys and follows his instructions than the one who keeps repeating his instructions and never follows them).<\/p>\n
If we cannot do this too….. then<\/p>\n
We should daily<\/strong><\/em> pray to GOD that pleasssssssse bless us so that we can understand the true meaning of Gurbani – the intent with which All Gurus wrote it, the meaning which our Gurus wanted us to understand and live our lives accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A verse from SGGS can have different meaning for different people.
