Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
-
Maharaj Ji's Kirpa
-
We got to 33rd Chandh
of Jaap Sahib Katha.
-
Finished off last week.
-
One thing I want to talk about
this Chaacharee Chhandh.
-
In this Chhandh every single word,
-
most of them will have
a word called hai(n).
-
Now every single of those Hai(n)
Ha-Haa with dulaavan
-
will have a little tippee on it.
-
It's a nasal sound 'Hai(n)'
it's not 'Hai'.
-
In punjabi sometimes adding
a little bit of a nasal sound
-
is sign of respect.
-
Because Guru Gobind Singh Ji is
talking about Vaheguru
-
In this way they said hai(n).
-
We should try and pronounce the hai(n)
sometimes I forget as well.
-
Because easy to fall into your thing.
-
I wanted to raise that up because
I didn't make it clear last week
-
We finished off with the 33rd chhandh.
-
Maharaj Ji says-
-
Vaheguru Ji you are pure
you are Niranjan.
-
Vaheguru Ji you have no beginning,
you are Anaadh.
-
Vaheguru Ji you are Aje
no one can beat you.
-
No one can win over you.
-
You are always the victor.
-
Vaheguru Ji you are Ajaadh,
-
the word Ajaadh can have
two meanings-
-
one is we said that
Vaheguru Ji is free like Azad
-
They can do what they like.
-
We are not free
we are trapped.
-
Vaheguru Ji is free.
-
At the same time we can say
that Vaheguru Ji is Aj-aadh.
-
The word Aj-aadh means that
they are the Aadh of everybody.
-
They have no beginning but
for us they're our Aadh.
-
Maharaj Ji in 34th Chhaandh says-
-
This is a very easy word
for us to understand
-
'Ajanam'- because we know
what the word janam means.
-
To be in our life, we are alive
we have a janam.
-
Maharaj Ji says-
-
We've got this Janam.
Vaheguru Ji can't be born.
-
Even Guru Arjan Dev Ji
described by the parts
-
that they are kal-taaran
Guru Nanak avtaara.
-
Guru Arjan Dev Ji said that
kal taaran ko avtaar banaayo.
-
Although Vaheguru Ji has come as Guru
at the same time they are Ajanam.
-
Is never the sake that
Vaheguru Ji is one.
-
At the end of this Maharaj Ji says
"anek hain fir ek hain".
-
We can't understand
Vaheguru they are Ajaadh.
-
They can't be understood by us.
-
But they are Ajanam
they are not subject to birth.
-
And Guru Ji is also in one way Ajanam.
-
Although they came upon this earth
-
at the same time they were
already mukt when they came here.
-
We say our Guru has got mukti already,
-
we say thank you to our Guru because
he's got mukti but saves us as well
-
Guru ji is like the moon
they reflect the sun.
-
but the sun can not do any reflection
-
The sun only gives,
Vaheguru Ji is always giving.
-
Even though we get tired
it's too hot maybe.
-
We get tired of taking
but they keep on giving.
-
Our Guru is the moon
that reflects that giving.
-
Maharaj says-
-
This word with ba-baa Abaran.
-
Because later on it says- Abharan
there's a big difference.
-
The word 'Baran' can have 2 meanings
-
one meaning of the word is to explain.
-
"Baran naa saaku" means
Maharaj says I can't explain.
-
How great you are!
-
Vaheguru Ji is outside of
any explanation or counting.
-
The word Baran can also
mean the caste system.
-
Vaheguru Ji is outside the caste system.
-
Last week we were a bit short on time.
-
Why is Guru Ji saying here that
Vaheguru Ji is outside caste system.
-
Our society even now living in the west,
-
we're still stuck in the caste system.
-
It may not manifest in the langar hall.
-
But when it comes to two main things
which is eating in families and marriage.
-
Among the Sikhs it's a big thing
-
within marriage time suddenly
caste pops up like hidden genie.
-
No one was talking about
suddenly marriage is coming up
-
and the first question they
ask what caste is he?
-
Before that it wasn't a concern
you had langar with them,
-
you're friends with them but don't
you dare marry outside of caste.
-
Let's understand the caste system.
-
Amongst the Sikhs a lot of people
don't understand it too well.
-
The caste system is not
like the class system.
-
The class system means that you are
low class, upper class and middle class.
-
You have a certain way of
thinking, schooling, behaving
-
The thing with the caste
system is it's not like that.
-
It's rigid.
-
You could be lower class,
-
and over time you could
make modes of money
-
and then your thinking
becomes middle class.
-
And you could even
become upper class
-
if you get through the family
or have some land, you get title.
-
Suddenly you've gone
up the class system.
-
But you cannot go up and
down the caste system.
-
Where you are you are stuck there.
-
That's the first distinction that
we do need to understand.
-
The second thing is
when it comes to class
-
people don't talk about
religion or spirituality.
-
We know that somebody could be poor
-
but we don't understand there's a
difference between access to god.
-
The caste system is not like that the
-
Hindu caste system used
to have five main areas.
-
The first four were in the caste system.
-
There were Brahmins, religious people
-
Kshatris who were the warriors,
and traders.
-
And the people that were
doing the minimal jobs.
-
And those people that were
outside of those four
-
they were the untouchables Achyut.
-
You couldn't even touch them.
-
In this chaacharee chhandh
Maharaj Ji says Achyut hain.
-
They are outside of the caste system.
-
Even the lowest people in the caste
system wouldn't touch those people.
-
That were outside the caste system.
-
First top two caste would get mukti.
-
That was the idea they
were called twice born.
-
Those top two people
would wear Janeu
-
Even though Guru Nanak Dev ji was
part of the second cast Khatri.
-
That's why they were told to wear
Janeu they were not a brahmin.
-
Because those people
were guaranteed mukti.
-
And everybody else
on the lower two
-
they had to be a good person
and get reborn as top two.
-
If they were lucky and did
all the trading work.
-
They couldn't do any paath
and were not allowed to fight.
-
They had to be disarmed
and not spiritual
-
If they were good they would
get reborn as a top two.
-
Sounds like an amazing system
for top two, isn't it?
-
It's like a great way
of controlling society.
-
Because that's what it
was a control mechanism
-
Society was very stable when the
caste system was playing around.
-
People don't go up and down.
-
Because if you're a lower
caste person and you rebel,
-
You will not get to reborn as
a brahmin or a khatri.
-
You will not get mukti.
-
There's a fear of aspect of breaking
away from the caste system.
-
Amongst the Sikhs what's funny is
although we've got this caste system
-
it's not really linked to spirituality.
-
No one thinks that because
I'm a certain caste
-
I'm gonna get mukti and
the other person isn't.
-
This is different from
the Hindu system.
-
Now let's talk about why
we've got this system then.
-
Why we've got this cultural
pride in our background
-
and yet we haven't got the
spiritual aspect linked.
-
You know when you want
to control society
-
you might make a system but you
got to make people believe in it.
-
In those days they would
have two ways of doing this
-
the first way was to make you feel
a little bit proud of your cast.
-
In fact people did this
as a coping mechanism.
-
Because they had no choice.
-
If you were stuck in your cast and
could never go outside your cast
-
then you might as well be
happy with what you have.
-
People develop this kind of
pride as a coping mechanism.
-
As a society if they can make
you feel a bit proud in your cast
-
then you're more likely
to do what you're told.
-
There was a practicality
element to it as well.
-
If you were a farmer and you
couldn't marry outside of your cast.
-
It made a bit of sense for you.
-
Because if there was a girl
gonna come into your family
-
and she was from a
family that was maybe
-
not involved in farming.
-
They were involved in hairdressing,
-
and there was a farmer's family.
-
If that girl came into that family
she'd find it hard to cope
-
with the work that was expected of her.
Because she'd never done it before.
-
In those days the whole family
got involved in the job
-
that the family was doing.
-
Even now there's a lot of people here
whose families are like shopkeepers
-
so they've grown up working in that
shop and know how a shop works.
-
This is how it would
worked in those days
-
because you stayed
in your family business.
-
Everybody got involved in it.
-
What about now?
-
Here in the west we
could have one person
-
who works his whole life as a
driver their son goes to university.
-
Becomes a lawyer or a doctor.
-
When he gets to working level
he's no longer looking for somebody
-
who's necessarily going
to be their partner
-
and helping them do a driving job.
-
The caste system isn't here.
-
The problem is what originally
was a copy mechanism.
-
Because you were stuck in your caste
you might as well be proud of it.
-
You might as well keep people
happy inside their caste.
-
Because they go outside the
caste they'll get beaten up
-
Now what did they become?
-
It's become a proud caste
system based upon pride.
-
Because everybody needs
something to hold on to.
-
We talked about last time- Anaam hain
Vaheguru Ji has got no name.
-
The problem is that we need
something to feel proud of.
-
If we haven't got Sikhi
or nothing in the world.
-
We grasp onto whatever we can.
-
Like somebody is a Jatt or Khan
and there are cultural traits as well.
-
There are still those traits around
some people are very straight talking.
-
Some people are a bit more intelligent
-
If you take a son of a Jatt for example
-
stick him in a working business
which is about making money.
-
His characteristics will change.
-
Because how you're sangat is
that's how you become
-
Ultimately the caste system
doesn't exist today.
-
There's no restrictions
if you break your caste.
-
Society won't ostracize you,
you won't get beaten up or get killed
-
for breaking your caste the problem
is we still got the pride system.
-
We still got pride.
-
We need to understand
this pride was given to us.
-
It was forced upon us
because we couldn't change it.
-
Now that pride is holding us
back from following our Guru.
-
Our Guru is saying-
-
He says I will make
all four casts into one
-
Somebody said to me once that
Guru Sahab always stayed in their caste
-
They've raised this many times.
-
The vurr came from Guru Amardaas Ji.
-
There was two stories about this
one that Guru Amardaas Ji
-
gave a vurr to Mata Khivi,
Guru Angad Dev Ji's wife.
-
And they said to ask
whatever you want.
-
Mata ji then said let the
Guruship stay in our family.
-
Because otherwise it's
going to cause trouble.
-
Because previously Mata Khivi's
own son had kicked Guru Amardaas Ji.
-
Bhai Datu Ji.
-
Guru Nanak Dev Ji own son Baba Sri
Chand mistreated Guru Angad Dev Ji.
-
They said let's stop this and
keep Guruship in our family.
-
One thing to understand is although
this thing happened because of that
-
Maharaj when they
made the Panj Pyaare
-
they were all from different caste.
-
The key thing you understand
is Sikhi develops.
-
The Panj Pyaare were the Guru and
the Guru was all different caste.
-
They were different people
inside the Panj Pyaare.
-
Nowadays those people that
say they were warriors.
-
Need to look back and think who were
the warriors back in those days.
-
They weren't necessarily only the
one caste but many different caste.
-
Vaheguru Ji is Abaran.
-
What we should try to understand there
are no such things as a genetic traits.
-
It's all social engineering and
it was used to suppress us.
-
And now we're using it
to suppress each other.
-
If you ever heard this story
there was an experiment done.
-
It's an interesting experiment.
-
They got some monkeys
put them in a room,
-
and the floor was electrocuted.
-
Only when they turned the
switch on not all the time.
-
What they would do is they
put a banana up on an area,
-
and the monkeys would
go for the banana.
-
Whenever they went for the banana
electric electricity was switched on.
-
They electrocuted them.
-
All four realized now
they kept going for it.
-
But every time they went for
it they all got electrocuted.
-
After some time they all
realized don't go for the banana.
-
It's gonna electrocute you.
-
They stopped and carried
on living normally,
-
as long as they didn't touch the
bananas, and learned their lesson.
-
What happened is they took
one of those monkeys out
-
and they put a new monkey in.
-
Obviously, this monkey now
is going to go for the banana.
-
Because he doesn't know.
-
All three monkeys then jumped on him,
-
and stopped him.
-
Every time he went for the
banana they beat him up.
-
That monkey then said I can't go for
that because they'll beat me up
-
He stopped.
-
They took one more monkey
out put a new one in.
-
That monkey did it same.
-
Then the other three
jumped on him as well.
-
Stopped him going for the bananas.
-
Tme and time they did this but they
-
kept taking out one of the original
-
monkeys that knew about the electricity
-
after some time there was four monkeys
-
in there
-
that had never been electrocuted had
-
never felt the pain
-
of staying in our system and yet nobody
-
went for the bananas
-
yeah because society is like that they
-
got conditioned into not doing this
-
thing
-
and the same way with us now with the
-
caste system yeah we've been conditioned
-
by it for so long
-
people don't even realize where it came
-
from they're still doing it
-
so hopefully if we become azad
-
then we can become a burden yeah we
-
could think
-
free from what was given to us then
-
mother says
-
that these are the five elements outside
-
the five elements
-
and then
-
can have two different meanings can mean
-
to make green
-
vegetation so when something is uh
-
know something which is uh blossoming
-
that means that they are they are you
-
so in asa diwali mata says
-
we have to understand that when we get
-
old we're not going to stay like we are
-
now when we're young
-
and we're full of blood like full of
-
life just like something which is green
-
and in bloom
-
this is our bloom when we're young but
-
when we get older then that bloom goes
-
they don't ever go into bloom they don't
-
need someone to feed them
-
they're always sahib mera nitnama sadas
-
they are always full of this energy what
-
they are never changes
-
their root does not change and then
-
waheguru
-
is the word paren can also mean
-
decoration
-
like uh some a bride might wear loads of
-
earrings or you know like decorations
-
then she's pariah she's put loads of
-
cingar on herself
-
obviously men shouldn't be doing that in
-
any case right however
-
so this is applied to the female four
-
more but in bani it describes it in that
-
way as well
-
that the woman is uh got shin guard on
-
to you know look beautiful
-
but why guruji is always beautiful they
-
don't need
-
any shin guard to look beautiful it says
-
in
-
gurgaon he says and i was in gurdwara in
-
you you are free of all disease you are
-
formless
-
you are your whole form is so beautiful
-
we said they are anand sarub but they
-
are also sundar sarub
-
so why doesn't need any more pattern
-
they don't need to be decorated they are
-
themselves beautiful
-
and even the khalsa our decorations our
-
we don't need much more to make us look
-
panchkakar
-
beautiful we've got the pancake card
-
given by our guru
-
then mara says in the next chant
-
you are impregnable no one can break
-
into you
-
no one can even destroy you in the
-
slightest you are
-
unbroken you can't be broken into and it
-
can also mean the word guns
-
that you are free of all disease
-
because every disease we have is because
-
of previous columns it's not like
-
something happened just out of chance if
-
you understand the word law of karma
-
nothing happens out of chance everything
-
happens for a reason
-
but why outside of karma so they are
-
also
-
a ganja sometimes we blame the world
-
for our diseases but we don't know what
-
we've done in our previous life
-
to do that
-
there's no one else to blame whatever we
-
done we got the full of that
-
otherwise we might as well become
-
christians because they don't believe in
-
reincarnation right so why how do you
-
explain to somebody who is ill
-
in this life why they're ill and
-
somebody else is healthy
-
right instead of talking bradford just
-
now about this reincarnation is big and
-
sicky because of this reason
-
it's true why somebody is god in this
-
life
-
is because they appreciate them as well
-
it's not just some random things some
-
people got blessed with wealth some
-
people didn't get blessed with wealth
-
it's because of the karma that we have a
-
ganja
-
and my wife is a punjab they are
-
indestructible
-
no one can destroy white guru our soul
-
actually is the same as well
-
it can't be destroyed different lies
-
we've gone through
-
we cry about who we lose in this life we
-
don't cry about who we lost in our
-
previous life
-
we don't remember our previous lives
-
yeah but we are indestructible actually
-
no matter how much we cry for somebody
-
who's a shaheed we should remember
-
that this body is shaheed the soul is
-
never shaheed
-
and if a good sikh dies then they get
-
even
-
either they get access to amarpuri right
-
or
-
they come back into the sick pant to
-
come back
-
as a khalsa okay they never die
-
you are a you cannot be fought
-
the word choose one meaning of it is to
-
be fight somebody that juja we say lamar
-
who's a fighter
-
they are if you decide one day i'm
-
really annoyed with god
-
i'm gonna go and fight god you can't
-
fight god
-
you can't go anywhere to fight god it's
-
impossible to fight them
-
they can't be challenged you can't fight
-
them you can't win over them
-
either but the word judge can also mean
-
to be stubborn and impatient if you see
-
somebody
-
who just wants to do something no matter
-
how much gonna hurt anybody else
-
they're stuck they're on a mission that
-
they're going to do this thing
-
that word can mean jews as well but you
-
but why guruji
-
is not like that they are they give us
-
the vidya of bani guru ji is accused as
-
well
-
guruji has given us bani it's up to us
-
whether we follow it
-
if we don't follow it they're not hurt
-
by it they are very parva
-
they are ve they don't need us to follow
-
sikhi
-
we need sikhi so we shouldn't be proud
-
of sikhi
-
we should be thankful for sikhi comes up
-
all the time people keep saying they're
-
proud they're proud they're proud
-
what did they make sikhi what were you
-
proud of you know we just
-
started saying thank you guru ji for
-
giving a sikhi so they are attuned
-
and they are a change the word change
-
can mean two things it can mean you
-
can't um
-
you can't waver them you can't move them
-
at all what they're gonna do
-
they're gonna do anyway that's it so
-
they are tall
-
we can't do binti to them but we can't
-
order them okay
-
but also they have no they don't get
-
stressed
-
somebody who's changing punjabi can mean
-
somebody's very stressed
-
full of trouble anxious got no
-
stubbornness or stress they're always
-
happy
-
because they're in charge then
-
the next two words are from persian and
-
farsi mara
-
the word says means unfathomable we
-
don't know how deep they are
-
we can never understand how deep they
-
are like an ocean
-
is huge a drop can never understand that
-
ocean so we are like a drop
-
in there like an ocean to us but also
-
rafika
-
the word rafiq a very nice word actually
-
it means best friend almost like a
-
companion
-
a constant friend and companion yes they
-
are unfathomable they are huge compared
-
to us
-
but they still our very close friend
-
yeah that's what might have put them
-
together
-
they're very close to us because they're
-
actually closer to us
-
than our arms and our legs we might lose
-
an arm or we can't lose wai guru
-
that's why bani will finish off this
-
barney finish off
-
they are always with us even bani will
-
say
-
they are all powerful and they are our
-
friends so it's like having
-
the most powerful person as your friend
-
your best friend
-
that's what it means to be a sick to
-
five boy guru as your closest closest
-
friend
-
they're always supporting us as well the
-
word means somebody who actually helps
-
you
-
in your time of need as well and why
-
guruji does they always help us in our
-
time of need
-
but the problem is we keep asking for
-
useless things
-
you know most of us we keep asking even
-
me all the time
-
asking for things that don't actually
-
matter to us they're so important to us
-
for those couple of days
-
the world changes they're no longer
-
important but we keep begging for those
-
things
-
we should ask for those things that we
-
really need which is nam
-
yeah naam and bhakti that's why guru
-
gobind is telling us
-
that's what we should be asking from
-
them and then
-
the word tanda means to work everybody's
-
got a tanda right somebody's an
-
accountant somebody's a doctor
-
every everybody's got a different way of
-
making money
-
but why griji is free of all dhande they
-
don't need anything to make money for
-
them
-
they are already self-sufficient
-
and also when you have a dhanda you're
-
not free
-
it's like abundant isn't it you got to
-
wake up you got to go and do that job
-
wagruji is free of all such burdens
-
and that's why the next word is
-
they are free of any abundant they're
-
not trapped in anything
-
even us we are trapped in our families
-
we're trapped in our work we've trapped
-
our responsibilities
-
all these things trap us we're trapped
-
in the banjo
-
waikuji is free of all of these things
-
yeah
-
the absolutely free of this and for us
-
human beings
-
the biggest bandhan is homie even if we
-
break free of our families
-
even if we break break free of you know
-
work
-
you know we told you might be living in
-
the mountains even then
-
homie doesn't go home is still the
-
biggest bandhan that we have
-
that's why asa diwali says
-
the biggest abundant to break that we
-
need to get naam
-
that's why it's a beautiful line of
-
barney and there's something good to
-
remember as well
-
because i asking god for something mara
-
says in bani
-
mere ram oh my vaheguru
-
a break oh the abundance of maya and
-
then
-
i put me to work to your work to your
-
house
-
make me a servant of your house break
-
all the maya bandhan
-
let me do your service
-
we'll just go into this is from jobs
-
some of those words now if you've been
-
attending we should we should have
-
understood some of those words already
-
but um when we get to them we're going
-
in more detail
-
to understand something to get some kind
-
of sense of something
-
even it can mean to know somebody secret
-
but we can never know their secret
-
we can never understand them and then
-
asuja
-
very similar meaning the outside of our
-
thinking
-
is the same same kind of idea we can't
-
get why guru
-
we can never say i got why guru i
-
understood now it's not like that
-
we can never understand them it's a
-
lifelong journey
-
all we can do is try to say their name
-
and experience them
-
we can't understand them sometimes you
-
do qatar you go to places
-
and people trying to get their head
-
around vai guru you know they're trying
-
to understand why guru and they think
-
they've got some understanding they feel
-
happy
-
but when they go back home they don't
-
say waheguru
-
they understood they gotcha i understood
-
now it's all right
-
but you got to go back and do bhakti you
-
got to do naam otherwise you wasted that
-
time of understanding
-
it it's not to understand it's to
-
experience
-
and then two words that we know about
-
you are akal you are outside of our
-
outside of any kind of time and we said
-
the word kaal can mean time and it can
-
mean death
-
you are immortal and you are timeless
-
you are
-
that's why even in bani it will say
-
mahakal
-
why did you because it says kaal you are
-
the call of khal
-
you are mahakal this word that we should
-
understand this is not a scary word
-
look how many words you've used so far
-
that are already from the hindu
-
tradition
-
and they're from the muslim tradition
-
because next word is going to come allah
-
as well yeah it's not it's just they are
-
mahakal
-
and they are the word
-
jal is to be in a net are trapped in a
-
net
-
it says why it says ibanez maya is like
-
a net it traps us
-
so they are the outside of this
-
jaal of maya
-
we are like that the you know the maki
-
we get trapped in the spider web we get
-
wrapped around with it and we don't
-
understand what we're here for anymore
-
that's it
-
our flying days are over yeah we were
-
previously flying in the soul
-
we get trapped in maya that's it we're
-
trapped
-
and even in one way you can say that
-
without wai guru
-
we are like that poor uh fish
-
outside of water
-
away from my guru away from then we
-
actually like that fish and we cry out
-
but a lot of us we don't even realize
-
that we're crying out for wai guru
-
we need to go back into simran connect
-
to god
-
then we realize oh we're separated from
-
my guru because we forget the pain of
-
separation as well
-
their mother says
-
the word allah is obviously a name for
-
god from the muslim tradition but it has
-
a meaning as well
-
the word allah means the word means a
-
jagger
-
a place so allah means outside of any
-
kind of place
-
why do jesus outside of any place
-
they're not in any one place
-
that's why they say that the islamics
-
will say that god is transcendent
-
they're not in the earth they're outside
-
the earth so there's not one thing you
-
can say
-
is god because that's blasphemy because
-
god is outside of the world
-
but we say they're outside and here
-
sargon
-
they themselves did all of this they are
-
sargon and they are nirgun as well
-
the sargon form is here in front of us
-
guru shabbat and guru khalsa
-
everywhere so they are allah they are
-
not in any one place
-
and also they are ajah they don't go
-
anywhere
-
we go here and there we come and we
-
everybody who's come has to go but they
-
are a jaha they are not going to go
-
anywhere they are here forever
-
and then why
-
you have no ant no no ending to you
-
there's no limitation upon you
-
you are an ant you are beyond
-
and then you are mahant the word mahant
-
can mean as we said last time somebody
-
very wise but really it means the leader
-
the head of everybody raj raj as we said
-
earlier
-
you're the king of all the kings so why
-
guruji you are the supreme one in charge
-
you're the greatest of all the great and
-
then mara says next
-
you are a leak the word leak can mean a
-
line to draw a line
-
so no one can draw a line to determine
-
your limit you are a leak
-
but also you know on our hands they're
-
lines as well
-
they are called somebody can read those
-
lines
-
but bhai guruji is a leak they have got
-
no destiny that we can read and
-
determine
-
what they are what they will do when
-
they will do it
-
they are outside of any control of us
-
they are a leak here
-
and also because it's a line it can also
-
mean you can't draw them
-
you can't just draw there's not
-
some artists that can set up and draw a
-
painting of wai guru that's not possible
-
they are niren god and also the word
-
early on
-
we're using this obviously lekka means
-
destiny
-
but also lekka means to write and to
-
draw
-
so that they are alike in that same way
-
they cannot be drawn
-
the mind says
-
sometimes it says something
-
but the meaning is the same the word
-
seek
-
of sri means your family and your
-
friends right
-
your attachments outside of any kind of
-
attachment any kind of family
-
yeah they are have no they have no
-
relations to anybody
-
yes they are our closest friend early on
-
but they're also
-
so they know once everybody can call
-
them their own
-
but they are not they belong to nobody
-
they don't belong to us
-
they don't belong to the muslims they
-
don't belong to hindus they are
-
everybody's
-
lumber the word means like a support
-
they don't have a support they don't
-
need anybody to support them they are
-
they are self-supported they are
-
self-enlightened and
-
asamba wagriji you're outside of any any
-
thoughts
-
samba can mean to think they we cannot
-
perceive them
-
the outside of our thoughts so but we
-
can feel them
-
but we can't feel all of them you can
-
only feel a little bit of them
-
even that little bit of naam is enough
-
for us to make us feel in total bliss
-
yeah but they are so big even when we do
-
simmering
-
we experience a little bit of how small
-
we are and how big they are
-
just to teach us a bit of humility might
-
have just made the experience in that
-
way
-
and their mother says next a gum
-
the word agar means no one can reach
-
them a lot of people that are called
-
nowadays as well as a first name we
-
can't reach them we can't grasp them
-
and a jam are never born
-
we know the word janam jam jamuna
-
the same word they can never be born
-
and then outside of all five elements
-
we should understand these five elements
-
because mine talks about them all the
-
time i talked about it earlier
-
and same word they have no physical
-
substance
-
so you got water earth fire wind
-
and then akash the the ether that you
-
can't tell what it is
-
these are the five elements of the world
-
and that's basically
-
outside of those five elements totally
-
and then the word tuna
-
means to touch something in punjabi if
-
you try something
-
they are untouchable no one's ever said
-
oh i felt why i grew
-
yes people say i experienced why i grew
-
but you can't grab them with your hand
-
and say i felt them here
-
they had no part that we can touch i
-
should have but also
-
as you said earlier the forecast the
-
four buttons
-
are forecast but also there's a fifth
-
part which is the untouchables
-
a shoot as well they are part of the
-
untouchables as well
-
yeah and in fact guru nanak tells us
-
where did we get kirpa
-
if you want kirpa how do we get kirpa
-
mara says one thing to us
-
in japji's hive he wake up in the
-
morning and say naam
-
another thing they say in their bani is
-
need somalian
-
they tell nothing where they're poor
-
people the niche are looked after why
-
guru there is your kirpa
-
that's why we are nemanja deman
-
that's us the khalsa is supposed to do
-
that job it's not just wai guru
-
the kaasa is a form of hai guru so when
-
the caster starts looking after the
-
poorest of the poor
-
giving shelter to those that have no
-
shelter then the casa will get kirpa
-
sikhi is about kirpa if we're in a
-
situation right now we're not getting
-
what we want in the world
-
there's a very good reason for that
-
we're not listening to our father
-
our father's told us be the
-
help of those that have no help but we
-
mostly just help ourselves
-
yeah longer is for ourselves it's very
-
rare you see somebody who is poor and
-
downtrodden coming to london
-
nowadays you see a few people in all
-
countries but it's not massive
-
and we don't actually make an effort to
-
go out there in toronto
-
the largest food bank now in toronto is
-
run by sikhs they give away food
-
to low income families in leicester they
-
started the same thing a food bank
-
but look in southall from here if you
-
fired four bullets you could hit four
-
gurdwara
-
everywhere around us where's the food
-
banks
-
there aren't any are they we're not
-
doing what our guru is telling us to do
-
this food is not for us it's for serving
-
people
-
so we need to start going back to our
-
roots what we were supposed to do now in
-
this world
-
and not what we think we're supposed to
-
do bani is telling us what we're
-
supposed to do
-
even if you look at our history there's
-
some you know the word truth
-
the people that were achieved they used
-
to do some work that nobody else in the
-
four versions would do
-
the most dirtiest work they would do
-
scavenging clean the toilets all that
-
kind of stuff right
-
now they're kumari saying they are truth
-
when guru ramdas she was doing seva
-
we talked about this in the white guru
-
course we're doing right now when guru
-
ramdas she was doing seva of
-
their family came to visit them and they
-
said oh
-
look at you you're from this you're from
-
the saudi family
-
and you're doing this dirty work that's
-
not good you've you support your cast
-
you should stay in your cast you see we
-
don't have such things
-
within the pant we're supposed to do all
-
works the toilets
-
all the dirty work that people don't
-
want to do outside in the gurdwara
-
becomes sever
-
you actually get our hand to become
-
purified but actually clean the shoes of
-
the sangat
-
because they are why guruji has no cost
-
why could you outside of any touch
-
and we should try to have no cost and
-
not think about this idea
-
of low and high the mother
-
the says is like your eyes you know the
-
word trilochen
-
that means the third eye lochna and lok
-
is the same word means to eyes
-
so you cannot be seen by these eyes
-
and yet we can see why guru if we start
-
to do cinnamon
-
yeah we start to close our eyes we can
-
experience them but not with these eyes
-
that's why it says inbanis
-
those eyes are different than we see i
-
agree with they're not with these eyes
-
even a blind person can see why guru
-
and then the word sock means to have
-
sadness
-
or worry why agree outside of all
-
sadness and all worry
-
they're not worried they know what's
-
going to happen tomorrow they know
-
what's going to happen a thousand years
-
from now
-
what are they worried about they know
-
they're in control of it
-
we are worried always worried about
-
what's going to happen to us tomorrow
-
what's happened to us but actually we
-
should be a soak we should be very well
-
if we become um with naam then we will
-
become vapor
-
as well and many people you see they go
-
through the worst thought
-
horrible torments but if they're
-
normally they say
-
it's all right i still got num that's
-
the most important thing so you try to
-
be in that level
-
says
-
you are a karam actually you don't do
-
any actions
-
karma means to do actions you don't have
-
any actions why guruji
-
you are not counted what you do is not
-
counted
-
you can kill everybody no one will hold
-
it against you they still pray to you
-
yeah but we if we kill a few people
-
salaam but he's going to cast us oh he's
-
a
-
but actually why guruji is killing
-
everybody yeah mari rake echo up
-
so they are but no one will ever custom
-
for that because they actually
-
are a karam but also the word
-
can also mean that karam khan there's so
-
many rituals that we do in this world
-
that are called karam khan we try to
-
please vaheguru maybe we do something
-
at this time something else this time
-
something else wash our hands a certain
-
way
-
touch our feet the other way some people
-
do all sorts of different you know
-
um somebody actually said to you once
-
it's a religious ocd you have this idea
-
that if you do things in this way you'll
-
be blessed maharaja is our side of
-
rituals
-
that's why they are to get them we have
-
to actually do adas
-
and naam japan nothing else that will
-
work with him you can't do hook upon
-
them and say i want to find you by doing
-
certain rituals you won't find them that
-
way
-
so and then waheguru jeez
-
they have no illusions the word param
-
means illusions
-
but they are in total clarity you can't
-
fool them you can't do certain things
-
and expect vaguely you will not see that
-
you've done something else
-
they are unfoldable they are outside of
-
all illusions
-
and then
-
you are ajit no one can win over you no
-
one can beat you
-
and even go business
-
you bless him i agree with this victory
-
mara said i can't do it myself
-
everything is by your powers but no one
-
can beat waheguru
-
no one could be victorious over them
-
the word peat can mean fear that's what
-
it means no one can scare you i guru
-
you are never ever scared or you're
-
never ever dismayed you are a peter
-
and if we start to dissimon then
-
we will start to lose our fear if we
-
understand that vaheguru ji is near
-
we start to lose our fear and mara says
-
the word baha can mean the vehicle that
-
they sit upon
-
they don't have a vehicle they don't
-
need to sit in something to go anywhere
-
we might have to sit in a car go up
-
north go down south they don't need
-
they're everywhere already
-
but also the word baha is also means
-
like a mountain
-
so they're like a mountain you can't
-
push them they cannot be shaken
-
they cannot be moved and agar
-
just like a mountain is big up in the
-
world but also
-
the oceans are the deepest and deepest
-
they can't move them like the mountains
-
but you can't actually understand how
-
deep they are
-
they're unfathomable just like the word
-
amik this means
-
you can never know how deep they are now
-
coming to the end of this uh chand
-
mara says
-
the word amman is about measuring
-
no one can ever measure you no one can
-
work out how
-
big you are you ca so you know when it's
-
kind of sound like man respect
-
but actually what it means is no one can
-
ever measure how big you are how great
-
you are
-
you are the word nidhan
-
is about treasures they are the treasure
-
of everything
-
whatever we need in this world they've
-
got it
-
and sometimes half of us understand that
-
because we think no no i'm gonna go to
-
work
-
i'm gonna earn money there and i'm gonna
-
give a little bit here a little bit
-
there
-
and then i'm gonna do some part and if i
-
do part i'll get this
-
and i'll get that but actually
-
everything is in god's hands
-
they are the treasure of everything
-
everything that we
-
are from birth is determined by them so
-
everything that we have
-
is actually by their blessings sometimes
-
we get fooled into thinking that we've
-
done some things
-
and they have done other things but
-
that's just duality
-
that's why barney will tell you all the
-
time you're stuck we're stuck in duality
-
actually they do everything they
-
determine
-
even the little things that we think we
-
did is by them as well
-
the whole thing is about homemade right
-
but we can ask for them to take our
-
homie as well
-
you know we can say to them if i take
-
your name let me forget myself let me
-
remember
-
you that's exactly what means forget
-
yourself
-
remember
-
because they're so great and they are
-
then we can't order them
-
we have to only beg in this world
-
the biggest power a pant has and a
-
sangat has is adas
-
where every time we look in our history
-
everything started with adas
-
so we're going to start something if
-
we're going to start a new job we can
-
start a new work
-
what we should do is come to gurdwara
-
and take maharaja's
-
a lot of people now in our actions that
-
we do we might think okay let's do this
-
but do we ask our guru it's happened all
-
the time
-
you can ask so many pantech mortars so
-
many people doing stuff he said did you
-
ever ask your guru what you should do
-
the thing is when you ask your guru for
-
a hukam you have to be prepared to
-
follow it
-
you know sometimes people ask a hukum
-
but they're hoping for a certain answer
-
if the answer comes back wrong then you
-
have to follow that
-
answer from others it might be different
-
for you you might not want that
-
that's the hukum like let's say
-
someone's getting married and before the
-
marriage let's take a hokum rama
-
and the hukanama says no then
-
our whole system is messed up right
-
because we think no we're going to go
-
there
-
and this is going to happen this way
-
actually ask we're doing hukam
-
kimara just but we're not asking what do
-
you think
-
so even when it comes to getting engaged
-
a good sikh should try and seek the
-
hukum of their guru
-
that's why hukum numbers are so
-
important that's why the hukum is
-
written outside every good order
-
because when we want to do anything in
-
our life ask your guru
-
your good guru's type is not deaf
-
they're not dumb
-
they can hear everything and they can
-
give us the answer
-
the method is being given to us in guru
-
granth sahib ji to take a hukam nama
-
but so many of us ignore that same
-
method it's almost like saying you're
-
our guru but not following it
-
having them as our guru means that they
-
are nidhan they're the treasurer of
-
everything
-
so we have to a learn to ask them and
-
then secondly
-
start to be prepared to accept what is
-
given to us
-
in many many ways the hukum nama is one
-
example of an order being given
-
but many things in life we might not
-
have all the money we want
-
right we might not have all the family
-
we want but that's the hukum
-
that we've been given so we have to
-
accept it as well
-
that's why sun talk is part of nam we
-
start doing naam japan now we will get
-
some talk in what we have
-
because we understand it's by their
-
hukam
-
and then mara says
-
you are infinite you're inside every
-
single being
-
now look at the next one what it says
-
you see mala just trying to get to get
-
us to break
-
our mind you know when you have your
-
mind it has a view of what the world is
-
you have a world picture
-
but mata just trying to get us to break
-
that world picture just like
-
so many people that come into sikhi from
-
other religions
-
for example and they come with their
-
preconceived idea of what god is
-
marriage is saying break that conception
-
because this is something new
-
this is something not new but it's
-
actually a philosophy which is unique in
-
that way
-
because some people say god is like this
-
some people say god is like that
-
and you you think about how much god is
-
in that statement
-
god is like this how much hankar is in
-
that statement because you're saying god
-
is
-
you think you can tell what god is like
-
the one who made you the one who
-
controls everything you're telling it
-
what it is like and what it isn't like
-
it's not that way even guru gobind singh
-
ji when they start this barney
-
they say i can never even talk about the
-
fullness of you
-
i can only describe a little bit till of
-
your video
-
we can never explain all of them so they
-
are an egg
-
like he says
-
so they are inside every single person
-
that's why they are anik
-
and even how we meet somebody how we how
-
we greet somebody should be with the
-
same respect as if we're meeting why
-
guru
-
sometimes we think oh no i'm better than
-
him or he's better than me
-
so we have a different system
-
why goes inside every single person and
-
then
-
they are still one regardless of what we
-
think about them that they're inside
-
everybody
-
inside inside all the 10 gurus inside
-
barney but they are still just one
-
they're indivisible they have no other
-
they have no competition
-
they're always indivisible and even it
-
says in bani when we understand about
-
how the world was made guru isn't
-
telling us because the word is there
-
because it says
-
many many times the world was made but
-
actually we come back to the one
-
so no matter where we are from we've got
-
the light of god inside us
-
but actually at one point the world is
-
going to collapse
-
everything will be destroyed we're all
-
going to be part of god again
-
so the journey is there we can't skip
-
that journey
-
this is the way it is now some people
-
might do it in one lifetime
-
some people might do it in many
-
lifetimes and some people might not even
-
realize that's their journey
-
but you can't escape that journey if in
-
this world
-
we think that we're not here to meet why
-
guru we're just here to you know come to
-
gurdwara
-
kitten listen to be akita nissan go home
-
don't really focus upon ourselves
-
then we're mistaken in our next life
-
we might have to go back into that 8.4
-
life cycle
-
but at some point we're going to have to
-
come back to god
-
but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't
-
do it early you see
-
because a lot of people get confused
-
about reincarnation they go oh well i'll
-
do it my next life
-
you see if you love somebody like if you
-
if anybody's in love right now
-
imagine going home saying to your
-
partner by then seed your next life
-
you wouldn't do it right because you
-
want them now
-
the same with god because they are the
-
form of love
-
and we start to love them we want them
-
now we don't want to wait it says barney
-
says
-
don't wait meet me now big milo means
-
very quickly meet me now
-
so we are asking why guruji to meet us
-
now the only way to do that
-
is to come here like we are now sanger
-
now and do some simran
-
and focus upon the one who is the one
-
origin of everything
-
and the end of everything destination
-
for everybody
-
the one so finish off with a little bit
-
of simmering
-
and then um we finished the end of
-
charity chun and the next chant is going
-
to be
-
the um kind of when we finish the next
-
child next time then we'll have gone
-
through a quarter of jobs
-
do
-

foreign
