Hau Vari Jeeo | ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਵਣਿਆ

findingmyway · May 19, 2013

With discussion of difficult times and what we can do over the past week, I thought this shabad would be pertinent.

Ang 129. As always literal translation from Sant Singh Khalsa in black with my understanding in green underneath. My interpretation is inspired mostly by Prof Sahib Singh.

ਮਾਝ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥[/FONT]Maajh Mehalaa 3 ||
Written in Raag Maajh by Nanak 3

ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਜਗਤੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ [/FONT]॥[/FONT]Maaeiaa Mohu Jagath Sabaaeiaa ||
The whole world is engrossed in emotional attachment to Maya.

All the world is stuck in the illusion of material wealth.[/FONT]

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਦੀਸਹਿ ਮੋਹੇ ਮਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Thrai Gun Dheesehi Mohae Maaeiaa ||
Those who are controlled by the three qualities are attached to Maya.

They are all under the influence of the 3 vices and are greedy for material living.[/FONT]

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਕੋ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਚਉਥੈ ਪਦਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੧॥[/FONT]Gur Parasaadhee Ko Viralaa Boojhai Chouthhai Padh Liv Laavaniaa ||1||
By Guru's Grace, a few come to understand; they center their consciousness in the fourth state. ||1||

It is rare for a person to understand, that they have to go above the 3 qualities to a 4<sup>th</sup> state which is the state of understanding. Only through conscious understanding, can the mind remain absorbed in Ik Oankaar.[/FONT]

ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥[/FONT]Ho Vaaree Jeeo Vaaree Maaeiaa Mohu Sabadh Jalaavaniaa ||
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who burn away their emotional attachment to Maya, through the Shabad.

Meh sadke jawa is a term I’ve heard a lot growing up. Literally translates to I am a sacrifice to…. but it’s a term of endearment so should not be read as sacrifice. [/FONT]
I am in awe of/in love with those who are always connected with the Sahabd Guru and have eradicated (burnt away) the illusion of duality from inside themselves. I remain in their service. The imagery of burning away shows this is an active process so cannot be achieved by doing ‘simran’ alone but needs active following of Guruji’s hukam and application of Gurbani into your life.[/FONT]

ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਜਲਾਏ ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਿ ਮਹਲੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੧[/FONT]॥ [/FONT]ਰਹਾਉ ॥[/FONT]
Maaeiaa Mohu Jalaaeae So Har Sio Chith Laaeae Har Dhar Mehalee Sobhaa Paavaniaa ||1|| Rehaao ||
Those who burn away this attachment to Maya, and focus their consciousness on the Lord are honored in the True Court, and the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||

Those who are able to burn away the greed for duality of illusion, are able to join their consciousness with Ik Oankaar instead and earn respect in Parmatma’s eyes (as Parmatma is present in each and everyone of us this means that we start to truly respect and value ourselves and therefore it becomes easier to travel down this path). Stop here for a moment, reflect and take on board this message before proceeding![/FONT]

ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ਮੂਲੁ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Dhaevee Dhaevaa Mool Hai Maaeiaa ||
The source, the root, of the gods and goddesses is Maya.

All gods and goddesses have the understanding that the basis of maya is greed for such (happiness) and the fear of dukh (sorrow). This does not mean devis and devtas (gods and goddesses) are necessarily real but they are used as an example as people believe they have power and knowledge. This is an important piece of knowledge![/FONT]

ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ ਜਿੰਨਿ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Sinmrith Saasath Jinn Oupaaeiaa ||
For them, the Simritees and the Shaastras were composed.

It was for this maya (greed of happiness and fear of sorrow) that the ancient texts were written in order to support these weaknesses.[/FONT]
ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਪਸਰਿਆ ਸੰਸਾਰੇ ਆਇ ਜਾਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੨॥[/FONT]Kaam Krodhh Pasariaa Sansaarae Aae Jaae Dhukh Paavaniaa ||2||
Sexual desire and anger are diffused throughout the universe. Coming and going, people suffer in pain. ||2||

Kaam here is desire for sukh, krodh is the anger at dukh.[/FONT]
The greed for happiness and fear of sorrow has spread into everyone’s psyche, so they are all stuck in the cycle of highs and lows and constantly reinventing themselves, and therefore collecting sorrows.[/FONT]

ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਗਿਆਨ ਰਤਨੁ ਇਕੁ ਪਾਇਆ [/FONT]॥[/FONT]This Vich Giaan Rathan Eik Paaeiaa ||
The jewel of spiritual wisdom was placed within the universe.

Only in this life (in this world) do we have the jewel of understanding the connection to Ik Oankaar.[/FONT]

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Gur Parasaadhee Mann Vasaaeiaa ||
By Guru's Grace, it is enshrined within the mind.

With the Guru’s help, that jewel can be enshrined in the mind.[/FONT]

ਜਤੁ ਸਤੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵਣਿਆ ॥੩॥[/FONT]Jath Sath Sanjam Sach Kamaavai Gur Poorai Naam Dhhiaavaniaa ||3||
Celibacy, chastity, self-discipline and the practice of truthfulness are obtained from the Perfect Guru, by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

That person remembers Ik Oankaar with their entire being, in this way they earn self-discipline (without remaining celibate), they earn purity (without being chaste) and they learn self-control/temperance.[/FONT]
ਪੇਈਅੜੈ ਧਨ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਣੀ ॥[/FONT]Paeeearrai Dhhan Bharam Bhulaanee ||
In this world of her parents' home, the soul-bride has been deluded by doubt.

Whoever in this world continues roaming the wrong path (of Maya)[/FONT]
ਦੂਜੈ ਲਾਗੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਪਛੋਤਾਣੀ ॥[/FONT]Dhoojai Laagee Fir Pashhothaanee ||
Attached to duality, she later comes to regret it.

…they will always remain caught by the attachment to maya and later regret wasted life.[/FONT]

ਹਲਤੁ ਪਲਤੁ ਦੋਵੈ ਗਵਾਏ ਸੁਪਨੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੪॥[/FONT]Halath Palath Dhovai Gavaaeae Supanai Sukh N Paavaniaa ||4||
She forfeits both this world and the next, and even in her dreams, she does not find peace. ||4||

The soul bride on that path wastes this life and anything after. They cannot obtain peace even in her dreams.[/FONT]

ਪੇਈਅੜੈ ਧਨ ਕੰਤੁ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥[/FONT]Paeeearrai Dhhan Kanth Samaalae ||
The soul-bride who remembers her Husband Lord in this world,

The soul bride who incorporates and nourishes Ik Oankaar into their entire being,[/FONT]

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਵੇਖੈ ਨਾਲੇ ॥[/FONT]Gur Parasaadhee Vaekhai Naalae ||
By Guru's Grace, sees Him close at hand.

With effort, the soul bride can keep Ik Oankaar close, see always and within.[/FONT]

ਪਿਰ ਕੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਰਹੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਿੰਗਾਰੁ ਬਣਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੫॥[/FONT]Pir Kai Sehaj Rehai Rang Raathee Sabadh Singaar Banaavaniaa ||5||
She remains intuitively attuned to the Love of her Beloved; she makes the Word of His Shabad her decoration. ||5||

Their soul remains steadfast/calm and remains absorbed in love of their husband (Waheguru). With the help of Guru’s shabad, the soul bride becomes the ornament of love for Akaal.[/FONT]

ਸਫਲੁ ਜਨਮੁ ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Safal Janam Jinaa Sathigur Paaeiaa ||
Blessed and fruitful is the coming of those who find the True Guru;

The person who connects with Ik Oankaar, their life is a success.[/FONT]
ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Dhoojaa Bhaao Gur Sabadh Jalaaeiaa ||
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they burn their love of duality.

That person burns away the love of illusion by joining with the love of the ShabadGuru.[/FONT]
ਏਕੋ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੬॥[/FONT]
Eaeko Rav Rehiaa Ghatt Anthar Mil Sathasangath Har Gun Gaavaniaa ||6||
The One Lord is permeating and pervading deep within the heart. Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||6||

In their entire being, only the memory of Ik Oankaar remains, and when they meet Waheguru, they sing about the good qualities from their soul.[/FONT]

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਨ ਸੇਵੇ ਸੋ ਕਾਹੇ ਆਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Sathigur N Saevae So Kaahae Aaeiaa ||
Those who do not serve the True Guru-why did they even come into this world?

Those who do not seek the support of Ik Oankaar, those people are living meaningless lives.[/FONT]

ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥[/FONT]Dhhrig Jeevan Birathhaa Janam Gavaaeiaa ||
Cursed are their lives; they have uselessly wasted this human life.

Their lives are like living under a curse, it becomes wasted.[/FONT]

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਬਹੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥[/FONT]Manamukh Naam Chith N Aavai Bin Naavai Bahu Dhukh Paavaniaa ||7||
The self-willed manmukhs do not remember the Naam. Without the Naam, they suffer in terrible pain. ||7||

Those who follow their own will (manmukhs) lie in defeat and cannot imbibe Ik Oankaar in themselves. Without the support of naam, they live in great pain.[/FONT]

ਜਿਨਿ ਸਿਸਟਿ ਸਾਜੀ ਸੋਈ ਜਾਣੈ ॥[/FONT]Jin Sisatt Saajee Soee Jaanai ||
The One who created the Universe, He alone knows it.

The Creator who made all worlds knows the play of duality well. [/FONT]

ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥[/FONT]Aapae Maelai Sabadh Pashhaanai ||
He unites with Himself those who realize the Shabad.

The Creator has also knows the needs of people and Shabad has been created to help them connect to the Creator.[/FONT]
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਜਿਨ ਧੁਰਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਲਿਖਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੮॥੧॥੩੨॥੩੩॥[/FONT]
Naanak Naam Miliaa Thin Jan Ko Jin Dhhur Masathak Laekh Likhaavaniaa ||8||1||32||33||
O Nanak, they alone receive the Naam, upon whose foreheads such pre-ordained destiny is recorded. ||8||1||32||33||

This is false that it is pre ordained, not but all can be aware if they do effort in this direction.
