Respects to the eternal truth creator. Respects to the respectful divine creator.
Thanks for your clarifications. I do appreciate the efforts that might have gone into this. May thee be blessed that thee long for. I have very basic queries and hope you will post a premeditated reply.
1. Where is the meaning of term marked as
1 above i.e satguru prasad.? May be it is presumed or assumed by you that readers know this. But we do not and should not move on presumptions. Bani should be either translated correctly and the basic principle that ' nothing is superfluous' should be adopted. Kindly clarify the same, if you deem it fit.
2.In the above slok there is an avertment to Aad guru, Jugad Guru, Sat Guru and Sri Guru Dev. Your translation is literal and makes one believe that there is reference to the four as one or the reference is to four separate gurus as mentioned above. Kindly clarify on the four terms.
3. Moving on the premise that no word of bani should be read down, I would again request you to kindly clarify as to whom guru ji is referring to by stating to
'Sri-" in the point marked as
2 above or you can amplify the meaning of
'sri' and as why this is present here as we do not have
sri at other places in bani. This pre-fix should have some significance.

Those who seek understanding of the creator, they are benevolent towards others. Those who seek understanding of the creator, those are forever in one’s gratitude.
Parabẖ ka▫o simrahi se mukẖ suhāve. Parabẖ ka▫o simrahi ṯin sūkẖ bihāvai.
Those who seek understanding of the creator, their faces are welcoming. Those who seek understanding of the creator, live in comfort.

4. In continuation , kindly refer to
LINE-1, Prabh kao simreh...and please post the translation or commentary by Dr. Sahib singh ji as well. If there is a discrepancy between the two kindly clarify.It shall help me understand as to what you are saying. Please also note that bringing in new meaning to well established meaning is likely to mislead the sangat.
You may have very good intentions.
But the translation should be backed up by other Guramt resources if the current work deviates from the established work.

Line 2 '
mukh suhave' has been translated to '
faces becoming welcome' or
welcoming; It sounds mystical to me. Kindly reconsider the line and re post ; if yu consider that nothing should be changed , Kindly state that,
Please take your own time before responding; we are not in hurry. Your answers should be to the point.
I would be having many clarifications from other Pads as well that I would be posting over period of time.
Your efforts are appreciated, thanks in advance.
If you feel that I am indulging in any argument please state so and I shall stop asking and in that case you may consider this post as withdrawn.
Regards
