Re: Being Naam-dhari is Sikhi
GuruFateh Drkhalsa paaji...
I will try to be as short as possible, describing one quote for each n every question..
If u want to go into any specific thing dipper, then dig me for that, I will try to elaborate it with some more quotes from SGGS.
ਪਾਤਾਲਾ ਪਾਤਾਲ ਲਖ ਆਗਾਸਾ ਆਗਾਸ ॥
पाताला पाताल लख आगासा आगास ॥
paataalaa paataal lakh aagaasaa aagaas.
There are nether worlds beneath nether worlds, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly worlds above.
ਓੜਕ ਓੜਕ ਭਾਲਿ ਥਕੇ ਵੇਦ ਕਹਨਿ ਇਕ ਵਾਤ ॥
ओड़क ओड़क भालि थके वेद कहनि इक वात ॥
orhak orhak bhaal thakay vayd kahan ik vaat.
The Vedas say that you can search and search for them all, until you grow weary.
ਸਹਸ ਅਠਾਰਹ ਕਹਨਿ ਕਤੇਬਾ ਅਸੁਲੂ ਇਕੁ ਧਾਤੁ ॥
सहस अठारह कहनि कतेबा असुलू इकु धातु ॥
sehas athaarah kahan kataybaa asuloo ik Dhaat.
The scriptures say that there are 18,000 worlds, but in reality, there is only One Universe.
ਲੇਖਾ ਹੋਇ ਤ ਲਿਖੀਐ ਲੇਖੈ ਹੋਇ ਵਿਣਾਸੁ ॥
लेखा होइ त लिखीऐ लेखै होइ विणासु ॥
laykhaa ho-ay ta likee-ai laykhai ho-ay vinaas.
If you try to write an account of this, you will surely finish yourself before you finish writing it.
ਨਾਨਕ ਵਡਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਆਪੁ ॥੨੨॥
नानक वडा आखीऐ आपे जाणै आपु ॥२२॥
naanak vadaa aakhee-ai aapay jaanai aap. ||22||
O Nanak, call Him Great! He Himself knows Himself. ||22||
These lines are not related to ur question, but just read the last lines,
Guru Nanak dev ji is clearly saying that.. Greatest is man, who knows himself..
DO U KNOW UR SELF.. WHO U ARE, FROM WHERE U CAME, AND WHERE U WILL GO
Now lets start with ur questions...
well you said that it can be any character does this means that essentially this character will be in human form no other form possible?
Guru Nanak Dev ji /Shri Ram ji in front of me. if you mean the physical body ?
10 Gurus came????? Why???? To show us the actual form of GOD. Nirankar roop that can be seen.
JAB JAB HOT ARISHT APARA, TAB TAB DEH DHARE AVTARA.(SGGS)
Whenever there was fall of character/thinking of people.. at that time GOD comes in a body(PHYSICAL BODY).
He can come with any motive.. but GYAN never changes. (AAD SUCH, JUGAAD SUCH)
as many learned people told me that all physical dimension of the universe that we see is Akal Purakh himself( HAR KA ROOP HA) the why is need to see him in specific form?
ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਦੀਖਿਆ ਕੈਸੇ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥
बिनु गुर दीखिआ कैसे गिआनु ॥
bin gur deekhi-aa kaisay gi-aan.
Without the Guru's Teachings, how can anyone obtain spiritual wisdom?
ਬਿਨੁ ਪੇਖੇ ਕਹੁ ਕੈਸੋ ਧਿਆਨੁ ॥
बिनु पेखे कहु कैसो धिआनु ॥
bin paykhay kaho kaiso Dhi-aan.
Without seeing - tell me: how can anyone visualize in meditation?
If u say meditation, then lines are clearly saying that , Without seeing , u cant visualize in meditation,and no meditaion is possible,
and our Gurus has instructed us for DHYAN(meditaion).. So our devotion starts when we start seeing GOD.. (Ask questions if u have.. this thing can go very beyond in discussion)
You also said that without divya drishti / tenth gate/third eye one cant recoznise Guru and also you said previously that Tenth gate is opened by Guru himself
so here it is kind of dead lock as tenth gate is opened by guru but again guru cant be recoznised whithout it openeing so kind of catch 22 situation
PAGE no 922---------------------------------------------------
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਬੁਝਿਆ ਜਾ ਵੇਖਾ ਹਰਿ ਇਕੁ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥
गुर परसादी बुझिआ जा वेखा हरि इकु है हरि बिनु अवरु न कोई ॥
gur parsaadee bujhi-aa jaa vaykhaa har ik hai har bin avar na ko-ee.
By Guru's Grace, I understand, and I see only the One Lord; there is no one except the Lord.
ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਏਹਿ ਨੇਤ੍ਰ ਅੰਧ ਸੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਦਿਬ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਹੋਈ ॥੩੬॥
कहै नानकु एहि नेत्र अंध से सतिगुरि मिलिऐ दिब द्रिसटि होई ॥३६॥
kahai naanak ayhi naytar anDh say satgur mili-ai dib darisat ho-ee. ||36||
Says Nanak, these eyes were blind; but meeting the True Guru, they became all-seeing. ||36||
YES, IT means that GURU is who . who can show u the GOD, and when he will open ur tenth door, u will atonce see the GOD(the form i will describe later) in urself.. and If u see GOD inside u, then it is indication of opening of Tenth Gate/Divine-eye(vision)(
ਦਿਬ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟ).
If some Guru says that , I can show u then go n test him(yes its better to test a guru before initiation, koi PAAP nahi he, koi vi cheez lo dekh parakh ke layo)..
SOI GUR PURA AKHIYE, JO KATHANI AAN MILAYE(SGGS)
Only that guru is perfect, that is commitive to his words about showing u
If he SHOWS u then Accept him as GURU, other wise start ur search again..
Again start search for perfect guru.
plz explain
Who is the Karta ( Doer ) in case of guru and any murakh like me respectively ?
Are two different doer is operating here?
GUR AAP KARTA GUR PALLANHAR(SGGS)
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਦੰ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵੇਦੰ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਈ ॥
गुरमुखि नादं गुरमुखि वेदं गुरमुखि रहिआ समाई ॥
gurmukh naadaN gurmukh vaydaN gurmukh rahi-aa samaa-ee.
The Guru's Word is the Sound-current of the Naad; the Guru's Word is the Wisdom of the Vedas; the Guru's Word is all-pervading.
ਗੁਰੁ ਈਸਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਰਖੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬਤੀ ਮਾਈ ॥
गुरु ईसरु गुरु गोरखु बरमा गुरु पारबती माई ॥
gur eesar gur gorakh barmaa gur paarbatee maa-ee.
The Guru is Shiva, the Guru is Vishnu and Brahma; the Guru is Paarvati and Lakhshmi.
NO there are not two doers..........guru as discussed in another forum is himself GOD,
GURU ISAR GURU GORAKH BRAHM, GUR PARBATI MAI
I think this quote is clearly describing u, who is doer...
Without Dib Drishti /tenth gate dont you think ( whicjh itself is opened by Guru)
Dont you thinkthis makes guru is always in better position to approach dvotee ( based on you r suggestions)
YES absolutely true, I m putting some lines from gurubani to support ur view..
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲਿਓਨੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਸੀ ॥
करि किरपा सतिगुरु मेलिओनु मुखि गुरमुखि नामु धिआइसी ॥
kar kirpaa satgur mayli-on mukh gurmukh naam Dhi-aa-isee.
By His Grace, He leads us to meet the True Guru; then, as Gurmukh, we chant the Lord's Name, and meditate on it.
ਸੋ ਕਰੇ ਜਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭਾਵਸੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਘਰੀ ਵਸਾਇਸੀ ॥
सो करे जि सतिगुर भावसी गुरु पूरा घरी वसाइसी ॥
so karay je satgur bhaavsee gur pooraa gharee vasaa-isee.
We do that which pleases the True Guru; the Perfect Guru comes to dwell in the home of the heart.
ਜਿਨ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਸਭੁ ਗਵਾਇਸੀ ॥
जिन अंदरि नामु निधानु है तिन का भउ सभु गवाइसी ॥
jin andar naam niDhaan hai tin kaa bha-o sabh gavaa-isee.
Those who have the treasure of the Naam deep within - all their fears are removed.
ਜਿਨ ਰਖਣ ਕਉ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਹੋਇ ਹੋਰ ਕੇਤੀ ਝਖਿ ਝਖਿ ਜਾਇਸੀ ॥
जिन रखण कउ हरि आपि होइ होर केती झखि झखि जाइसी ॥
jin rakhan ka-o har aap ho-ay hor kaytee jhakh jhakh jaa-isee.
They are protected by the Lord Himself; others struggle and fight against them, but they only come to death.
ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇ ਤੂ ਹਰਿ ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਛੋਡਾਇਸੀ ॥੧॥
जन नानक नामु धिआइ तू हरि हलति पलति छोडाइसी ॥१॥
jan naanak naam Dhi-aa-ay too har halat palat chhodaa-isee. ||1||
O servant Nanak, meditate on the Naam; the Lord shall deliver you, here and hereafter. ||1||
Yes it is true, He himself will call u, BUT I WANT TO SAY, JUST LISTEN TO HIS/HER call , whenever he/she(true GURU) calls u.. and this call can come from anyone, any devotee too, from some media too, thats call, he will not come to call u at ur home always(although this is also possible)...
but thirsty should search for well, and if he has desire than he will search that guru too,
RAB NAAL MILNA AASAAN HE, PAR GURU PURA MILNA AASAAN NAHI HE..
eh such he.. gurubani kehndi he..
Please bhayiya kabhi aisa guru awaz de, jo kahe aayo mere bacho, mein tvannu RAB vikha sakda, te jaana jaroor, labhna jarror,
These is aim of life.
Does Living just means Human form
Is akal purakh somewhat limited here when granting grace which made lay down resticted rules that garce has to flow through living human being
YES NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.. what does LIVING means to u...
Does living means to be any non-living things...
And at last would you be kind enough to tell me who was Guru in you case I mean which character I am curious and excited to know !
YES, NICE QUESTION.. IT would be a great moment for me to tell u the name of such a divine personality
but m not here to advertise for my GURU, but to request u, that follow gurubani to reach the true master on ur own, search for a perfect master, whoever shows u GOD is perfect, NOT only mine.
Thanks for your post
waiting for further guidance from you
NO need to say thanks, its all grace of GOD, and m not guiding u, m just exploring some gurubani in front of u,
While writing such a big reply, some mistake may be possible, please forgive me for that
