One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Vaars of Bhai Gurdaas Ji
Vaar One
I bow before the Guru (Guru Nanak Dev) who recited the Satnaam Mantra (for the world).
Getting (the creatures) across the world ocean he raptly merged them in liberation.
He destroyed the fear of transmigration and decimated the malady of doubt and separation.
The world is only illusion which carried with it much of birth, death and sufferings.
The fear of the rod of Yama is not dispelled and the sakts, the followers of the goddess, have lost their lives in vain.
Those who have caught hold of the feet of the Guru have been liberated through the true Word.
Now being full of loving devotion they celebrate the gurprubs (anniversaries of the Gurus) and their acts of rememberance of God, charity and holy ablutions, inspire others also.
As someone sows, so he reaps.
First of all, when no breath and body was there nothing was visible in the pitch darkness.
The body was created through the blood(of mother) and semen (of father) and the five elements were joined judiciously.
Air, water, fire and earth was put together.
The fifth element sky (void) was kept in between and creator God, the sixth one, invisibly permeated among all.
To create the human body, five elements and twenty five qualities opposite to each other were joined and mixed.
Four life originating mines (egg foetus sweatborn , vegetation) and four speeches(para, pasyanti, madhyama, vaikhari) were assimiliated into each other andthe drama of transmigration was enacted.
Thus eighty four lacs of species were created.
Of the eighty four lacs life classes, birth as a human is the best.
Eyes behold, ears listen to and the mouth speaks sweet words.
Hands earn livelihood and feet take towards the holy congregation.Los ojos miran, los oídos escuchan y la boca habla palabras dulces.
In human life alone by the rightful earning, out of one's savings, other needy ones are fed.
Man by becoming gurmukh- Guru oriented, makes his life meaningful; he reads Gurbani and makes others understand (the importance of) bani.
He satisfies his companions and takes the holy water touched by their feet i.e. he inculcates complete humility.
Humblytouching of the feet should not be repudiated because in the dark age, this quality is the only asset (of the human personality).
People of such a conduct will swim the world-ocean and also get along other disciples of the Guru.
All prevading Oankar through His One Word created the whole expansive cosmos.
Through the five elements, as the quintessence He permeated in the three worlds and their denominations.
That creator could not be seen by anyone who to expand Himself created the infinite nature(prakrti).
He made myriad forms of nature.
In His each one hair He gethered up millions of worlds.
And then in one universe He comes in tens of forms.
He has created many a dear personality such as Vedavyas and Muhammad dear to the Vedas and the Katebas respectively.
How wonderfully the one nature has been expanded into many.
The four Ages (yugs) were established and the first three were given names Satyug, Treta, Dvapar. Fourth one was Kaliyug.
And four castes came to be known as the kings of four ages. Brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya and sudhra became predominate in each age.
In Satiyug, Vishnu is said to have come to earth as Hansavaar and explained the problems pertaining to
Metaphysics (The story is there in the eleventh canto of the Bhagvat Purana), and nothing but one soham-Brahm was discussed and pondered upon.
Getting indifferent to maya, people would praise one Lord.
They would go to forests and pull on life by eating natural vegetations.
Though they lived for lacs of years but they would construct the palaces, forts and grand mansions.
On the one hand the world was passing away and on the other the life current would go stably.
In Treta in the Sun-dynasty descended in the form of the kshatriya(Ram) a great incarnation.
Now the nine portions of age lessened and illusion,attachment and ego inflated.
In Dvapar, Yadav-dynasty came to the forefront i.e. the incarnation of Krsna became known to the people; but because of the lack of good conduct, Age by Age, the life span(of man) went on decreasing.
In the Rgveda the conduct of the brahmin and the ideas about the actions done facing the East were discussed.
Kshatriyas became related to the Yajurveda and started pouring charities while facing the South.
The vaishyas embraced the Samaveda and bowed to the West.
Blue dress for Rgveda, yellow for Yajurveda and for singing of the hymns of Samaveda wearing of the white dress became a tradition.
Thus three duties of the three Ages were enunciated.
Kalijug became prevalent as the fourth age in which the low instincts gripped the whole world.
People became resultant in performing of the duties enjoined in the Rig, Yajur and Samaveda.
The entire earth got enticed by mammon and the antics of the Kalijug put everyone into delusion.
Hatred and degeneracy engrossed the people and ego burnt oneand all.
Nobody now worships anyone and the sense of respect for the younger and elder has vanished into thin air.
In this cutter age the emporers are tyrants and their satraps butchers.
The justice of three ageshas become extinct and now whosoever gives something (as bribe) gets (justice?).
The mankind has become wanting in dexterity of action.
Having churned the duties enjoined in the four Vedas, the seers have delineated the six Shastras.
What ever was described by Brahma and Sanak, people recited and followed.
Many think over while reading and singing, but only one among millions understands and reads between the lines.
Many think over while reading and singing, but only one among millions understands and reads between the lines.
It is suprising that every age had dominance of one colour (caste) but how in Kaliyug myriads of castes are there.
That the duties of all the three Yugas have been abandoned is known to everybody but the confusion persists.
As the four Vedas have been defined, the description of the six philosophies (Shastras) also complements them.
They all eulogise their own view point.
Speculating seriously, seer Gotama has put forth the story of the Rgveda.
After churning the thoughts, in the Nyaya school, God has been defined as the efficient cause of all the causes.
Everything is under His control and in His order, no order whatsoever of anybody else is accepted.
He is in the beginning and at the end of this creation yet in this Shastra he is shown as separate from this creation.
No one has seen or known this creator, and rather people have remained indulged in the expansive delusions of prakriti (nature).
Not realising that soham parbrahm, the jiv is mistaken in understanding Him as a man (full of fallacies).
The Rgveda exhorts the knowledgeable people that supreme Lord is everything and none else can be compared with Him.
Without true Guru this understanding cannot be attained.
Pondering deeply over the Yajurveda, rishi Jaimini putforth his postulates.
Ultimate decision will be arrived at according to the actions performed through the body which will reap whatever it has sowed.
He established the theory of karma and explained transmigration as controlled by karma.
Because of its fallacy of ad-infinitum, the doubts are cleared and the jiv goes on wandering in the labyrinth of karmas.
Karma is a practical aspect of the world and the maya and the Brahm are identical.
This school of thought (Shastra) while stirring the ingredients of Yajurveda, mixes delusions with the supreme reality the Brahm,
And establishes strongly the ritualism which further accepts coming in and going from the world as the result of the karma bondage.
Without the true Guru, the doubts cannot be dispelled away.
Vyas (Badarayan) recited Vedanta (sutras) after churning and researching the thought frame of the Samaveda.
He put up before the self (atman) as identical to indescribable Brahm.
He in invisible and the jiv wanders hither and thither in its delusions of self conceit.
By establishing the self as the Brahm he is in fact established one's own self as worthy of worship and therefore remained unknown to the mysteries of loving devotion.
Churning of the Vedas could not obtain peace for him and he started scorching one and all in the heat of is ego.
The rod of maya always hung over his head and he suffered extremely because of the constant fear of the Yama, the god of death.
Having obtained knowledge from Narad, he recited Bhagvat and thus eulogised God.
Without surrender before the Guru none could get across (the world ocean).
With the passing away of Dvapar, the canopy of kingdom now came over the head of Kaliyuga.
Atharvaveda got established and people now would go on eulogising, facing the north direction.
As a substance of the hymns of Athrvaveda, the Sankhya-sutras were recited by sage Kapil.
Get imbued with the great knowledge and go on pondering over the stable and the transitory.
Despite millions of efforts, without knowledge nothing can be attained.
Karma and yoga are activities of the body and both these are momentry and perishable.
Analytical wisdom creates the supreme delight and the illusions of birth and death come to an end.
The Guru-oriented (gurmukh) get merged in the real self.
By churning of the Athatvaveda, the guru-oriented (Kanad) in his Vaisesik recited about gunas, the qualities (of the matter).
He produced the theory of sowing and reaping(giving and taking) and told that at appropriate time only, one would attain the fruit.
Everything operates in His divine will, hukam(to which he calls apurva) and whosoever accepts the divine-will stablizes his self in equanimity.
The jiva must understand that nothing happens of its own (and our ownselves are responsible for our good or bad actions) and hence nobody as good or bad should be lodged in mind.
Rishi Kanad has said that as you sow, so shall you reap.
Listen to the injustice of the satyug that only because of a single evil-doer the whole world would suffer.
In the treta, the whole city suffered because of one evil-doer and in dvapar this suffering was limited to the one family and the family underwent the igominy.
But in the kaliyug only he suffers who commits evil deed.
Gurmukh Patanjali the (supposed) incarnation of the Sesnaga, very thoughtfully recited, the Naga-Shastra, Yoga Shastra (Patanjal-Yogasutras).
He told in consonance with Atharvaveda that illusion cannot be erased without yoga.
It is similar to the fact where we know that without cleansing of the mirror, the face cannot be seen in it.
Yoga is cleansing praxis through which the surati gets absorbed into the unstruck melody.
Eighteen siddhis and nine treasures fall at the feet of a gurmukh yogi.
In kaliyug, Patanjali talked about fulfillment of desires that remained unfulfilled in the three ages.
The complete achievement of yogic bhakti is that you every thing hand to hand.
The jiv should cultivate the nature of rememberance of God, charity and ablution (internal and external).
Since time immemorial, on account of the bondage of unfulfilled desires, the jiv has been suffering transmigration.
Time and again, the body is changed, but the mystery of this change can be understood by becoming knowledgeable.
Engrossed in duality in satyug, the jiv entered into the body in treta.
Getting caught in karma-bondage in treta
He was born in dvapar and remained writhing and wriggling.
Even the performance of the duties of three ages does not dispel the fear of birth and death.
The jiv reincarnates in kaliyug and gets entangled in the karmas.
Lost opportunity comes not again.
Now listen to the discipline of kaliyug wherein nobody cares for the rituals.
Without loving devotion none will get any place anywhere.
Because of the disciplined life in the previous ages, the human form has been obtained in kaliyug.
Now if this opportunity slipped, no occasion and place would be made available.
As has been said in the Atharvaveda, listen to the redeeming features of kaliyug.
Now feeingful devotion only is acceptable; yajna, burnt offering and worship of the human guru was the discipline of the earlier ages.
If somebody now, in spite of being a doer, erases from his self this sense and prefers to be called lowly, only then he can remain in the good books of the Lord.
In Kaliyug, only repeating the name of Lord is considered grand.
During the down fall of an age, people setting aside the duties of the age bahave contrary to their nature.
The world gets engrossed in remorseful activities and sin and corruption prevail.
Different sections(castes) of society develop hatred for one another and finish themselves through squabbles as the bamboos, due to their mutual friction, producing fire burn themselves as well as others.
Condemnation of the knowledge starts and in the darkness of ignorance nothing remains visible.
From that knowledge of the Vedas which gets man across the world ocean even the knowledgeable people get away.
So long God does not descend on earth in the form of true Guru, no mystery can be understood.
The Guru and God are one; He is the true master and the whole world craves for Him.
He rises like sun and the darkness is dispelled.
In kalijug one finds intellectualism incarnate, but discriminating between knowledge and ignorance is nowhere.
Nobody interdicts anybody and everyone is behaving according in his whims.
Someone instructs for the worship of the inert rocks and someone guides people to worship cemetries.
Due to the tantra mantra and such hyprocricies, the tensions anger and quarrels have been increased.
In the rat-race for selfish ends, different religions have been promulgated.
Someone is woshipping moons, someone sun and someone worshipping earth and sky.
Someone is propitiating air, water, fire and yama the god of death.
These all are religious hypocrities and are tossing in delusions.
In view of the prevaling lassitude in the world, four varnas and four Ashrams were established.
Then ten orders of ascetics and twelve orders Of yogis came into being.
Further jangams, the wanderers, sramans and Digambrs, naked jain ascetics also started their disputations.
Many Categories of brahmins came into being who propounded Shastras, Vedas and Purans contradicting one another.
The mutual irreconcilability of the six Indian philosophies further added many hypocrisies.
Alchemy, tantra, mantra and miracles became everything for people.
By getting divided into myriad sects(and castes) they produced a horrible look.
They all were deluded by kaliyug.
When varied sects got prevalent, then Muhammad, the beloved of God was born.
The nation got divided into seventy two divisions and many types of enmity and opposition erupted.
The world was bound to roza, id, namaz, etc.
Pirs, paigambars aulias, gaus and qutabs came into being in many countries.
The temples were replaced by mosques.
Less powerful were killed and thus the earth became replete with sin.
Armenians and Rumis were declared apostates (Kafirs) and they were decimated in the Battle fields.
The sin became ubiquitious all around.
There are four castes of Hindus and four sects of Muslims in the world.
The members of both religions are selfish, jealous proud, bigoted and violent.
The Hindus make pilgrimage to Hardvar and Banaras, the Muslim to the Kaba of Mecca.
Circumcision is dear to the Muslims, sandal mark (tilak) and sacred thread to the Hindus.
The Hindus invoke Ram, the Muslims, Rahim, but in reality there is only One God.
Since they have forgotten the Vedas and the Katebas, worldly greed and devil have led them astray.
Truth hidden from both; the brahmins and maulvis kill one another by their animosities.
Neither sect shall find liberation from transmigration.
God himself is the justice for the disputes about the duties of the four Ages.
He himself id the paper, the pen and the scribe.
Without Guru is all darkness and people are killing one another.
The sin pervades all around and the (mythological) ox supporting the earth is weeping and wailing day and night.
Without compassion, getting unnerved, it is descending towards nether world to get lost.
Standing on one foot, it is feeling the load of sins.
Now this earth cannot be upheld without the saints and no saint is available in the world.
Religion in the form of ox is crying beneath.
The benefactor Lord listened to the cries (of humanity) and sent Guru Nanak to this world.
He washed His feet, eulogised God and got his Disciples drink the ambrosia of his feet.
He preached in this darkage (kaliyug) that, saragun (Brahm) and nirgun (Parbrahm) are the same and identical.
Dharma was now established on its four feet and all the four castes (through fraternal feeling) were converted into one caste (of humanity).
Equating the poor with the prince, he spread the etiquette of humbly touching the feet.
Inverse is the game of the beloved; he got the egotist high heads bowed to feet.
Baba Nanak liberated this dark age (kaljug) and recited the mantra of satnaam for one and all.
Guru Nanak came to redeem the kaliyug.
First of all Baba Nanak obtained the gate of the grace (of Lord) and then He underwent and earned the rigorous discipline( of heart and mind).
He fed himself with sand and swallow-wort and made stones his bedding i.e. he enjoyed poverty too.
He offered hid full devotion and then he was fortunate to have proximity with God.
Baba reached the region of truth wherefrom he received Nam, the storehouse of nine treasures and humility.
In his meditation, Baba found the whole earth burning (with the fire of lust and anger).
Without Guru there is utter darkness and he heard the cries of the common men.
To further understand the people, Guru Nanak donned robes in their manner and preached them to be detached (from the pleasure and pain).
Thus he went out to depurate humanity on earth.
Baba (Nanak) came to the pilgrimage centres and by participating in the ceremonies there he observed them minutely.
People were busy in performing the rituals of the ceremonies but since being bereft of loving devotion, they were of no avail.
Having gone through the Vedas and simritis one finds that Brhama also has nowhere written about the Sentiment of love.
To find out the same, the satyug, treta dvapar etc. have been screened.
In kaliyug, the pitch darkness prevails in which many guises and hypocritical ways have been started.
Through garbs and guises one cannot reach the Lord; He can be reached through self-effacement.
The special feature of the Sikh of the Guru is that he goes beyond the framework of caste-classification and moves in humility.
Then his toilsome labour becomes acceptable at the door (of the Lord).
Celebates, ascetics, immortal anchorites, the siddhs, naths and teacher- taughts were available in abundance.
Many varieties of gods, goddesses, munis, bhairavs and other protectors were there.
In the name of ganas, gandharvs, fairies, kinnars and yaksas, many dragnets and dramas were enacted.
Seeing raksasas, demons, daitys in their imagination, people were totally in the clutches of duality.
All were engrossed with ego and the taughts were getting drowned alongwith their teachers.
Even after minute research, the guru-oriented were nowhere to be found.
All the sects, pirs, paigambars of the Hindus and Muslims were seen (by Baba Nanak).
Blinds were pushing the blinds into well.
With the emergence of the true Guru Nanak, the mist cleared and the light scattered all around.
As if the sun rose and the stars disappeared. The darkness was dispelled.
With the roar of the lion in the forest the flocks of escaping deer now cannot have endurance.
Wherever Baba put his feet, a religious place was erected and established.
All the siddh-places now have been renamed on the name of Nanak.
Everyhome has become a place of dharma where singing.
Baba liberated all four directions and nine divisions of earth.
Gurmukh (Guru Nanak) has emerged in this kaliyug, the dark age.
Baba Nanak visualized all the expansive nine divisions of the earth.
Then he climbed up to the Sumer mountain where he came across a group of siddhs.
The mind of the eighty four siddhs and Gorakh filled with surprise and doubts.
Siddhas asked (Guru Nanak), (O young boy! Which power brought you here?)
Guru Nanak replied that for coming to this place (I have remembered the Lord with loving devotion and meditated upon Him deeply.)
Siddhs said, (O young man, tell us your name).
Baba replied, (O respected Nath! This Nanak has attained this position through rememberance of the name of the Lord).
By calling himself lowly, one attains the high position.
Siddhs again asked, (O Nanak! How are the dealings on mother earth?).
By this time all the siddhs understood that Nanak had come to earth to deliver it from the (sins of) kaliyug.
Baba replied, (O respected Nath, the truth is dim like the moon and the falsehood like deep darkness).
The darkness of the moonless night of the falsehood has spread around and I, in order to search for the (truthful) world, have undertaken this journey.
The earth is engrossed with sin and its support, the dharma in the form of ox is crying and wailing (for rescue).
In such circumstances, when siddhs, the adepts, by (becoming repudiators) have taken refuge in the mountains, how the world could get redeemed.
Yogis also bereft of knowledge and simply applying ashes to their bodies are lying down unconcerned.
Without Guru the world is getting drowned.
O God! in kaliyug , the mentality of the jiv has become like the mouth of dog which always seeks the dead to eat.
The kings are sinning as if the protective fence were itself devouring the (crop in the) field.
Bereft of knowledge, the blind people are uttering falsehood.
Now the gurus are dancing variously to the tunes played by the disciples.
The taughts now sit at home and the teachers go their abodes.
Qazis enjoy bribes and getting the same they have lost their high regards and position.
Man and woman love each other for riches, may they come from anywhere.
The sin has become ubiquitous in the whole world.
The siddhs thought in their mind that this body should in all circumstances Adopt philosophy of yoga.
Such a yogi in kaliyug, will brighten the name of our sect.
One of the Naths, gave him a begging bowl to fetch water.
When Baba came to the stream for water, he saw rubies and jewels in it.
This true Guru (Nanak) was unfathomable supreme purusa and who could bear with his effulgence.
He (remaining uninfluenced) returned to the group and said, O Nath, in that stream there is no water.
Through (the power of the word) Shabad he conquered the siddhs and propounded his altogether new way of life.
In Kaliyug, instead of yogic exercises the name of the Lord who is beyond all sufferings (Nanak) is the only source of delight.
Donning blue attire then Baba Nanak went to Mecca.
He held staff in his hand, pressed a book under his armpit, caught hold of a metal pot and mattress.
Now he sat in a mosque where the pilgrms (hajis) had gathered.
When Baba (Nanak) slept in the night spreading his legs towards the alcove of mosque at Kaba,
The qazi named Jivan kicked him and asked who was this infidel enacting blasphemy.
Why this sinner is sleeping his legs spread towards God, Khuda.
Catching hold of the legs he lynched (Baba Nanak) and lo and behold the miracle, the whole of Mecca seemed to be revolving.
All got surprised and they all bowed.
Qazi and maulvis got together and began discussing religion.
A great fantasy has been created and no one could understood its mystery.
They asked Baba Nanak to open and search in his book whether Hindu is great or the Muslim.
Baba replied to the pilgrim hajis, that, without good deeds both will have to weep and wail.
Only by being a Hindu or a Muslim one can not get accepted in the court of the Lord.
As the colour of safflower is impermanent and is washed away in water, likewise the colours of religiosity are also temporary.
(Followers of both the religions) In their expositions, denounce Ram and Rahim.
The whole of the world is following the ways of Satan.
Wooden sandal (of Baba Nanak ) was kept as a memory and he was woshipped in Mecca.
Go anywhere in the world, you would not find a place bereft of the name of Baba Nanak.
Without discrimination of Hindu or Muslim, in every house, the Baba is revered.
When the sun rises it cannot be covered and it lightens the whole world.
When the lion roared in the jungle the flocks of deer ran away.
If someone wants to conceal moon by putting before it a platter, it cannot be hide.
From rising to setting directions i.e from east to west, all the nine divisions of earth bowed before Baba Nanak.
He diffused his power in whole of the world.
From Mecca Baba went to Baghdad and stayed outside the city.
Firstly, Baba himself was in the form of Timeless and secondly, he had his companion Mardana, the rebeck player.
For namaz (in his own style), Baba gave call, listening to which the whole world went into absolute silence.
The whole city became quiet and lo! to behold it, the pir (of the town) also got wonderstruck.
Observing minutely he found (in the form of Baba Nanak) an exhilerated faquir.
Pir Dastegir asked him, which category of faquir you belong to and what is your parentage.
(Mardana told) He is Nanak, who has come into kaliyug, and, he recognises God and His faquirs as one.
He is known in all the directions besides earth and sky.
The pir debated and came to know that this faquir is much more powerful.
Here in Baghdad he has shown a great miracle.
Meanwhile he (Baba Nanak) talked about myriads of netherworlds and skies.
Pir Dastegir asked (the Baba) to show him whatever he had seen.
Guru Nanak Dev taking along with him the son of the pir, melted into thin air.
And in a wink of eye visualized him the upper and lower worlds.
From the nether world he brought a bowl full of sacred food and handed it over to pir.
This manifest power (of the Guru) cannot be made to hide.
After making Baghdad, the citadels( of pirs)bow, Mecca Medina and all were humbled.
He ( Baba Nanak) subjugated the eighty four siddhs and hypocrises of the six schools of Indian Philosophy
Lacs of underworlds, the skies, earths and the whole world were conquered.
Subjugating all the nine divisions of earth he established the cycle of Satinaam, the true name
All the Gods, demons, raksasas, daity's, Chitragupt bowed at his feet.
Indra and his nymphs sang auspicious songs.
The world filled with joy because Guru Nanak came to give deliverance to the kaliyug.
He made Hindu Muslim humble and suppliant
Then Baba (Nanak) returned to Kartarpur where he put aside his attire of a Recluse.
Now putting on a householder’s dress, he sat splendidly on a cot (and executed his mission).
He made the Ganges flow in opposite direction because he choose Angad for heading the people (in preference to his sons).
The sons did not obey the commands and their minds turned hostile and unstable.
When Baba uttered hymns, the light would spread and darkness dispell.
Discussions for the sake of knowledge and the melodies of unstruck sound were ever heard there.
Sodar and Arati were sung and in the ambrosial hours Japu was recited.
The Gurmukh (Nanak) saved the people from the clutches of tantra, mantra and Atharvaveda.
Hearing about the Sivratri fair, Baba (Nanak) came to Achal Batala.
To have his glimpse the whole humanity swarmed the place.
More than riddhis and siddhis, the money started pouring in like rain.
Seeing this miracle, the yogis’ anger was aroused.
When some of the devotees paid obeisance (before Guru Nanak), the yogis’ ire deepened and they hid their metal pot.
The devotees having lost their pot forgot their devotion because their attention now was in the pot.
The omniscient Baba discovered (and handed over) the pot (to devotees).
Witnessing this the yogis were further enraged
All the yogis getting irritated grouped together and came forward to have a debate.
Yogi Bhangar Nath asked, (Why have you put vinegar in milk?)
The spoiled milk cannot be churned into butter.
How have you put off yogic garb and attired yourself in a household way.
Said Nanak, (O Bhangar Nath, your mother-teacher is unmannerly)
She has not cleansed the innerself of your body-pot and your clumpsy thoughts have burnt your flower (of knowledge which was to become fruit).
You, while distancing and repudiating house hold life, go again to those householders for begging.
Except their offerings you don’t get anything.
Listening to this, the yogis snarled loudly and invoked many spirits.
They said, (In kaliyug, Bedi Nanak has trampled and driven away the six schools of Indian philosophy).
Saying thus, the Siddhs counted all sorts of medicines and started making tantric sounds of the mantras.
Yogis changed themselves into the forms of lions and tigers and performed many actions.
Some of them became winged and flew like birds.
Some started hissing like cobra and some poured out fire.
Bhangar nath plucked the stars and many upon deer skin started floating on water.
The fire (of desires) of the siddhs was unextinguishable.
Siddhs spoke, Listen O Nanak! You have shown miracles to the world.
Why are you late in showing some to us.
Baba replied, O respected Nath! I have nothing worth showing to you.
I have no support except of the Guru (God), holy congregation, and the Word (bani).
That Paramatman who is all full of benedictions (sivam) for all is stable and the earth (and material over it) is transitory.
The siddhs exhausted themselves with the tantra-mantras but the world of Lord did not allow their powers to come up.
The Guru is the giver and no one can gauge his bounties.
Utimately, the humbled yogis submitted before the true Guru Nanak.
Baba (further) said, O respected Nath! Please listen to the truth that I utter.
Without the true Name no else miracle I have.
I may wear the clothes of fire and build my house in the Himalayas.
I may eat the iron and make earth move to my orders.
I may expand myself so much that I could push the earth.
I may weigh the earth and the sky against few grams of weight.
I may have so much of power that I push aside anybody by saying.
But without the true Name, these all (powers) are momentary like the Shadow of the clouds.
Baba has discussions with the siddhs and because of th eenergy of the sabad those siddhs attained peace.
Conquering the Sivratri fair Baba made the followers of six philosophies bow.
Now, speaking benign words, the siddhs said, Nanak, your achievement is great.
You, emerging like a greatman in kaliyug have diffused the light (of knowledge) all around.
Getting up from that fair, Baba went to the pilgrimage of Multan.
In Multan, the pir presented a bowl of milk filled up to brims (which means That faquirs here are already in plenty).
Baba took out a jasmine flower from his bag and floated it on the milk (which meant that he wa not going to put anybody to trouble).
It was such a scene as if the Ganges were merging into the sea.
After the journey of Multan, Baba Nanak again turned towards Kartarpur.
His impact increased by leaps and bounds and he made people of kaliyug remember Nam.
Desiring anything except the Nam of the Lord, is invitation to multiplying sufferings.
In the world, he established the authority (of his doctrines) and started a religion, devoid of any impurity (niramal panth).
During his life time he waved the canopy of Guru seat on the head of Lahina(Guru Angad) and merged his own light into him.
Guru Nanak now transformed himself.
This mystery is incomprehensible for anybody that awe-inspiring (Nanak) accomplished a wonderful task.
He converted (his body) into a new form.
With the same mark (on the forehead), the same canopy he radiated on the Throne.
The power Guru Nanak had is now with Guru Angad was publically proclaimed all around.
Guru Angad left Kartarpur and scattered his light while sitting at Khadur.
Action seeds of the previous births sprout; all other ingenuinities are false.
Whatever Lahina got from Guru Nanak now came to the house of (Guru) Amar Das.
Having received the celestial gift from Guru Angad, the Guru, in the form of Amar Das is seated.
Guru Amar Das founded Goindval. The wondorous play could was beyond sight.
Gift received from the earlier Gurus further enhanced the grandeur of the Light.
Liabilities of the previous births have to be settled and the thing goes to the house it belongs to.
Now Guru Ram Das, a Sodhi emperor, seated on the Guru-seat is called the true Guru.
He got dug the complete holy tank and here settling down at Amritsar, he spread his light.
Wondrous is the play of the Lord. He can cause Ganges running in opposite direction merge in the ocean.
You get your own; given nothing cannot bring to you anything.
Now the Guruship entered the house of Arjan (Dev) who, to say was the son, but, he proved through his good deeds to be worthy of the Guru-seat.
This Guruship would not go beyond Sodhis because none else can bear with this unbearable.
The thing of the House should remain in the House.
(From Guru Nanak to Guru Arjan Dev) Five pirs were there who drank from the five cups(of truth, contentment, compassion, dharama, discerning wisdom), and now the sixth great pir is holding the Guruship.
Arjan (Dev) transformed himself into Harigobind and sat majestically.
