Kaam is one of the 5 deadliest enemies ( the others are: krodh, lobh, moh, ahankar ..... ninda, jalan, chuglee, jhoot, lalach, laziness...etc) that attack the soul without mercy. The mind uses them as tools to keep the soul imprisoned, apart from many other ways, along with Maya. The soul is being harrased, since it left it`s Father`s (Satnam ) house (Sach Khand ). It´s condition is very dreadfull, without any shore or anchor to lean on, there is no thaao. Constantly roaming in the wheel of Chaurasee Ka Chakar. And for that, we alone are to be blamed, we do not listen nor pay attention to the real teachings of our Gurus`.
When our first Guru came on earth; orthodox practices were common in those days, would be better said, even before.....up to nowdays.
While they are present(Gurmukhs), they remove our agyanta, our prejudices, our manmukhta, our outer or external practices, which are futile in results, and are just like smoke, no reality in it, they ( our Gurus) show us the realty, by attaching us to their Nij Roop, Nam or Shabad.
Since they have left us, we have been manipulated, our reasoning power has been extirpated, by the so board members, the Truth they made us know, has been darkened with their poisnous behaviour, they have spread poison everywhere, and in almost all.
These members have politizied the real sikhee, but if we understand the teachings of the Gurus`, it seems that, all this is the fantasy of these leaders, I personally do not believe what they say, that our Patshah Guru Gobind Singh said so and so. It is just a justification to their weaknesses.
We can see it by ourselves, by reading and understanding the Bani of the previous Gurus`, there is simialrity in them, there are no such external practices, politics, rules, regulations, slogans and symbolisms, they taught that Nam and Shabd is everything.
Nobody can take the place of a real Satguru. After all, these leaders, at most what can they offer is only what thay have, and they may have everything, but not the love and essence of Nam, and this void has to be filled with something, so they fill it with symbols, slogans and external practices.
It is a pity, that Sikhee is such a noble, and a beautiful summary of some of Wahiguru`s virtues, grace, daya, meher, inmensity, truth, bakshish.... and that all this, has been reduced and polluted, between the four walls of rules and regulations, then zaat, paat, land, rituals, rites, dogmas...etc.
This is the pitiful and hopeless situation of mankind in general, but here we refer to our sikh brothers and sisters, with whom we are concerned. There is nothing wrong in following the customs and traditions in the dharam whre one is born, but we should be not so blinded with them, that we loose the truth out of our sight. I know, many will be hating me, when reading this, but my love for Wahiguru, and for the truth, and then for all the mankind, which has the ray of divinity in each individual, has propelled me in writing this, all the four corners of the existence has the right in knowing the realty of Wahiguru Akal Purukh in the real measure.
And all this, what has been said, is based just from the bani, for that purpose some lines are been given as proofs, of that truth, which our Gurus showered on the mankind equally on everybody without any distinctions:
ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨਾਉ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕਿਆ ਸੁਆਉ
bin sathigur naao n paaeeai bin naavai kiaa suaao
Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained. Without the Name, what is the use of it all?
ਆਇ ਗਇਆ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਣਾ ਜਿਉ ਸੁੰਞੈ ਘਰਿ ਕਾਉ
aae gaeiaa pashhuthaavanaa jio sunnjai ghar kaao
People come and go, regretting and repenting, like crows in a deserted house.
ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਦੇਹੁਰੀ ਜਿਉ ਕਲਰ ਕੀ ਭੀਤਿ
bin naavai dhukh dhaehuree jio kalar kee bheeth
Without the Name, the body suffers in pain; it crumbles like a wall of sand.
ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਸਾਚੁ ਨ ਚੀਤਿ
thab lag mehal n paaeeai jab lag saach n cheeth
As long as Truth does not enter into the consciousness, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence is not found.
ਸਬਦਿ ਰਪੈ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੀ ਪਦੁ ਨੀਤਿ
sabadh rapai ghar paaeeai nirabaanee padh neeth
Attuned to the Shabad, we enter our home, and obtain the Eternal State of Nirvaanaa. |
ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰੈ ਸੋ ਮਰਿ ਰਹੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਦੂਜੀ ਵਾਰ
sabadh marai so mar rehai fir marai n dhoojee vaar

ਸਬਦੈ ਹੀ ਤੇ ਪਾਈਐ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੇ ਲਗੈ ਪਿਆਰੁ
sabadhai hee thae paaeeai har naamae lagai piaar
Through the Shabad, we find Him, and embrace love for the Name of the Lord.
ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਜਗੁ ਭੂਲਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਮਰਿ ਜਨਮੈ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰ
bin sabadhai jag bhoolaa firai mar janamai vaaro vaar
Without the Shabad, the world is deceived; it dies and is reborn, over and over again.
ਮਨ ਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਜਪਹੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ
man rae raam japahu sukh hoe
O mind, meditate on the Lord, and find peace.
ਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਰਵਿ ਰਹੈ ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਾਲੁ ਸੰਤਾਇ
sabadh pashhaanai rav rehai naa this kaal santhaae
One who recognizes the Shabad merges into it, and is not afflicted by death.
aapay nirmal pooj karaa-ay gur sabdee thaa-ay paa-ee. The Immaculate Lord Himself inspires worship of Him; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is accepted and approved.
poojaa karahi par biDh nahee jaaneh doojai bhaa-ay mal laa-ee. Those who worship Him, but do not know the Way, are polluted with the love of duality.
jin antar sabad aap pachhaaneh gat mit tin hee paa-ee. Those who have the Shabad deep within, understand themselves; they find the way of salvation.
ayhu manoo-aa sunn samaaDh lagaavai jotee jot milaa-ee. Their minds enter into the deepest state of Samaadhi, and their light is absorbed into the Light.
sun sun gurmukh naam vakaaneh satsangat maylaa-ee. The Gurmukhs listen constantly to the Naam, and chant it in the True Congregation.
saachee banee sach vakhaanai sach naam liv laa-ee.
True are their words; they speak only the Truth; they lovingly focus on the True Name.
saachee banee sach vakhaanai sach naam liv laa-ee. True are their words; they speak only the Truth; they lovingly focus on the True Name.
gur poorai har naam dirhaa-i-aa har nihchal har Dhan palai jee-o. The Perfect Guru has implanted the Lord's Name within me. I have the Imperishable Treasure of the Lord in my lap.
har jee-o kirpaa karahu gur maylhu jan naanak har Dhan palai jee-o. O Dear Lord, please show Mercy to me, that I may meet the Guru. Servant Nanak gathers the Wealth of the Lord's Name in his lap.

bin sathigur naao n paaeeai bin naavai kiaa suaao
Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained. Without the Name, what is the use of it all? These are just few sample lines from the bani, as we can see only importance of WAHIGURU as objective, through Nam and Shabad are written on each parragraph, on each page, and then too we are so manmukhs that we fail to see the truth in them.
Mind is always fond of sensual pleasures, so unless we give it the taste, of something superior and everlasting taste, like Nam....it will never give up it`s bad habits. So Nam is the truth which our Gurus taught as remedy for fighting the mind and these vices, and also Nam is the only vehicle for returning our true real Home Sach Khand, anything apart from this is wasting our precious time.
