Kahai Nanak, sabad sohila, Satguru sunaia
Sayeth Nanak, the sacred truth, is bestowed to me
Pavit hoe se jana, jinni Har dhiaia
The blessed, focussed upon Guru, are purified.
Har dhiaia pavit hoe, Gurmukh jinni dhiaia
The faithful devotees, by their focussed meditation upon Guru, become pure.
Pavit Mata pavit kutanbh sahit sio, pavit sanagat sabhaia
Purified with and by their parentage, as purified as are all associates.
Khahde pavit, sunde pavit, se pavit jinni man vasaia
Heed purity, consume and are imbued with purity, pure is their thinking and speech.
Although many recite daily this mool mantra, focus upon the depth and meaning of its truth is sometimes lost. The consciousness is easily distracted and prayer becomes habitual than spiritual, chanted monotonously without concentration of consciousness upon its meaning. Teachers speak of the impure and egotistical mind consumed by its own superficiality, taking of fine foods and beverages, bathing in the finest oils and lotions, neither of what availed him good health or inner radiance. The poor and pious man eats only simple bread and water served to him by his devoted wife, the poor man was strong and healthy whilst the sinful was riddled with malady caused by his inner uncleanness. The mind and body are self cleansing if indoctrinated with brain conditioning truth.
Man has an inbuilt powerful survival mechanism, but as with any car, appliance or science, he is required to understand how to maintain equilibrium in his body bio system. The spirit is the supernal life force thermodynamic energy of the body. Mans mind is a receptor and emitter, whether of toxic bile or of fragrant light. Physically an uptight person, contracts many illnesses from constipation to circulatory and respiratory problems causing him to dysfunction first physically in the lack of adequate oxygenation of his body causing disease, of stagnation in his colon emitting toxic chemicals into his body, both resulting in outbursts of anger, irrational behaviour, perverse thinking and foul speech. It is therefore essential to maintain perfective digestive health to stem any root causes of possible affliction causing vile odours and symptomatic of inner decay and disease.
Spiritually one may be a perfectly reasonable and rational person, impeccable in conduct with a clear conscience and god consciousness. If one becomes plagued by demons, unseen demonic forces ones mental balance is disturbed, one becomes irrational, and thereafter until a kindly exorcist is found, babbles incongruously and at times incoherently to excrete from ones consciousness and pure being, such predatory forces. Many great thinkers and pure souls are so afflicted, including Nanak. How does one clear the consciousness of these vile and odious trespassers and looters of ones peace. By changing company, by focusing, or as the Saints do by departing to a solitary place to wage war with ones demons until peace and spiritual equilibrium is restored.
But what of the souls in capture, constantly in the evil eye of surveillance, looted of their privacy and isolated from good company to ensure they are focussed upon the evil which, by association becomes magnified as per Plato’s theory of the man in the cave fanning a fire that magnifies as over bearing shadows those within his consciousness made a stifling cave. This is the seemingly inescapable state and mental condition of hell. Where none can near the person, nor he escape. The good are kept away and the wicked and cunning allowed access and privy to his suffering. This pain thus gives the intruders and false bearers of candles an undue and emboldened barely disguised malicious glee, what we know as ego, conceit and the diseased mind of inhumanity.
The summary of bani is to conquer ones mind, and becomes master of our subconscious and driving will thereby. If one is a trapped within a situation where others gain great pleasure from ones own suffering then one is doomed and all those partaking or on receipt of ones pearls will assume ones emotional trauma and pain post ones departure. Kahde pavitar means to ensure the spiritual, emotional and physical sustenance we consume is from a pure and wholesome source. For if it is not it becomes adverse karma, making one beholden to the forces conspiring in its suffering and demise, an inestimable debt. Preaching peace and the abominable folly of duality is ones exoneration of any such future blame.
Clean hands and clear conscience are themselves priceless treasure chests ...
