Basics of Sikhi's video: My true engagement 3rd Aug Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama Ang 773 Bhai Baljit Singh

Guru Ram Das Ji uses the metaphor of a wedding to describe the journey of a yearning soul to meet with the supreme soul, Vaheguru (God). Guru Ji reminds us that this union will not be possible without having a mediator. The mediator is The Guru who will instil love into our hearts, filling us with contentment. How does The Guru fill our hearts with love? Through giving us the company of Saints & singing Gurbani. Contemplating on the Guru’s teachings in the presence of those that are already drenched in the love of Vaheguru will open our hearts which will carve the path to meeting Vaheguru. ਰਾਗੁ ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਛੰਤ ਘਰੁ ੧ Raag Soohee, Fourth Mehla, Chhant, First House: ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਮਿਲਾਇ ਅਵਗਣ ਵਿਕਣਾ ਗੁਣ ਰਵਾ ਬਲਿ ਰਾਮ ਜੀਉ ॥ If only I could meet the True Guru, the Primal Being. Discarding my faults and sins, I would chant the Lord's Glorious Praises. ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਚਵਾ ਬਲਿ ਰਾਮ ਜੀਉ ॥ I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Continuously, continually, I chant the Word of the Guru's Bani. ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਸਦ ਮੀਠੀ ਲਾਗੀ ਪਾਪ ਵਿਕਾਰ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥ Gurbani always seems so sweet; I have eradicated the sins from within. ਹਉਮੈ ਰੋਗੁ ਗਇਆ ਭਉ ਭਾਗਾ ਸਹਜੇ ਸਹਜਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥ The disease of egotism is gone, fear has left, and I am absorbed in celestial peace. ਕਾਇਆ ਸੇਜ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਖਾਲੀ ਗਿਆਨ ਤਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਭੋਗੋ ॥ Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the bed of my body has become cozy and beautiful, and I enjoy the essence of spiritual wisdom. ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸੁਖਿ ਮਾਣੇ ਨਿਤ ਰਲੀਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਧੁਰਿ ਸੰਜੋਗੋ ॥੧॥ Night and day, I continually enjoy peace and pleasure. O Nanak, this is my pre-ordained destiny. ||1|| Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar - image taken by JaspreetJasprit available to purchase at www.jaspreetjasprit.com Support us: www.basicsofsikhi.com/donate Contact us: www.basicsofsikhi.com/contact-us Live Gurbani Translations by http://www.shabados.com
