Dhan Dhan Satguru Sachay Patshah Arjun Dev Maharaj, tells us in His Bani of Raag Jaitsiri, about the supreme importance of His Naam at all levels, realms and conditions.
What is the purpose of all our devotional activities, we perform in our daily lives, up to the end of our days here in this world?
Well, the answer of almost all of us will be, to wash our sins and generate love for His Lotus Feet.
This is all right, but let us see, what our Guru Sahiban has to say about it:
ਕਿਰਤ ਕਰਮ ਨ ਮਿਟੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮ ਧਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਖਟਿਆ
Kirath Karam N Mittai, Naanak Har Naam Dhhan Nehee Khattiaa
किरत करम न मिटै नानक हरि नाम धनु नही खटिआ
The karma of their past deeds cannot be erased, O Nanak, if they have not earned the wealth of the Lord's Name.
He clearly says, if the kamaee of Lord´s Name is not gathered, our past deeds(karmas) and sins can not be washed away.
Then He says:
ਉਦਮ ਕਰਹਿ ਅਨੇਕ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਗਾਵਹੀ
Oudham Karehi Anaek Har Naam N Gaavehee
उदम करहि अनेक हरि नामु न गावही
He makes all sorts of efforts, but he does not sing the Lord's Name.
Here He is telling us, He knows our manmukhta condition, cause we prefer to do a thousand and one things before, than to do His Simran or chintan.
And He warns us, that by being manmukhs, the result of this our petty mindedness, leads us to our spiritual pitfall:
ਭਰਮਹਿ ਜੋਨਿ ਅਸੰਖ ਮਰਿ ਜਨਮਹਿ ਆਵਹੀ
Bharamehi Jon Asankh Mar Janamehi Aavehee
भरमहि जोनि असंख मरि जनमहि आवही
He wanders around in countless incarnations; he dies, only to be born again.
ਬੀਜੁ ਬੋਵਸਿ ਭੋਗ ਭੋਗਹਿ ਕੀਆ ਅਪਣਾ ਪਾਵਏ
Beej Bovas Bhog Bhogehi Keeaa Apanaa Paaveae
बीजु बोवसि भोग भोगहि कीआ अपणा पावए
As are the seeds he plants, so are the pleasures he enjoys; he receives the consequences of his own actions
In this upper line, He is clearly pointing us, that, any other action/activity done, is karma which will bound us back into the creation, thus it is only His Simran, which will deliver us freedom from this mayavee and perisahble creation.
The path of Sikhee or Gurmat is not to create discrimination among human beings, or to even tie us with any worldy related chains such as dharam, karam khand, land, etc .....
The only purpose of Sikhee, is to liberate the soul from the clutches of mind, maya and wash the filth of our unlimited karmas, and reunite it with the only permanent and eternal Truth, which is Wahiguru, through His Simran.
This is the grace of Wahiguru upon us jeevas, by letting us moorakhs, know about the True devotion which pleases Him the most, through His bhagats, Gurmukhs and Guru Sahibans..
Oouch, Apaar, Beant, Soami, kaun jaane gun Tere?
Sat Sree Akal.
