Satnaam Harry Ji,

 

One example of beautiful gurbani: 1402

 

ieik pVih suxih gwvih prBwiqih krih ies˜wnu ]

eik parrehi sunehi gaavehi parabhaathihi karehi eisaan ||

Some read and listen and sing of Him, taking their cleansing bath in the early hours of the morning before the dawn.

Waking up at amrit vela to contemplate god. The mind Reads, the soul listens. Cleansing bath is the ineternal cleansing of the mind of the 5 thieves (some people take this literal and think its an actual bath)

 

ies˜wnu krih prBwiq suD min gur pUjw ibiD sihq krM ]

eisaan karehi parabhaath sudhh man gur poojaa bidhh sehith kara(n) ||

After their cleansing bath in the hours before the dawn, they worship the Guru with their minds pure and clear.

After the amrit vela cleansing bath (mind cleaning), we worship the guru, serve his creation i.e the people around us, seva, charity, looking after the environment etc etc. But with our minds more pure and clear due to the cleansing bath (min cleaning)

Touching the Philosopher's Stone, their bodies are transformed into gold. They focus their meditation on the Embodiment of Divine Light.

What is this philosphers stone? how do we meditate on the divine light. By Gurus grace i feel i know and have experienced this. this is not for me to tell you, its for you to put the faith in and experience yourself.

The Master of the Universe, the very Life of the World pervades the sea and the land, manifesting Himself in myriads of ways.

explains itself, but still many don't actually deep down believe in this.

So serve the Guru, the True Guru; His ways and means are inscrutable. The Great Guru Raam Daas is the Boat to carry us across. ||4||

Explains itself

jinahu baath nischal dhhrooa jaanee thaeee jeev kaal thae bachaa ||

Those who realize the Eternal, Unchanging Word of God, like Dhroo, are immune to death.

In the beginning was the word, the word was with god, the word is god. Anhad Shabad, Naaam, call it what you like - exists in all, in me and you and eveything. By gurus grace we'll become aware and realise this.

They cross over the terrifying world-ocean in an instant; the Lord created the world like a bubble of water.

Explains itself

The Kundalini rises in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation; through the Word of the Guru, they enjoy the Lord of Supreme Bliss.

Dormant Kundalini energy rises, lighting up the Sat Sarovar (seven chakras) energy centres. through the word of the guru and we enjoy the lord. All happens within us. and all are capable of this if we trust in SGGS Ji and our internal Guru.
