Jaap Sahib English Katha #8 - Chand 59 - 73

Maharaj Ji Kirpa we are getting
through Jaap Sahib in English

Last week we got to:

Oh, Waheguru you are always
Sat, Chit and Anand.

You are in bliss, you are truth,
You are true consciousness

You are actually the
destroyer of everybody

Not only do you take care of everybody
you're also destroyer of everybody.

Maharaj says "Anupe"
your praise can't be done

"Arupe" you have no form

"Samastul Nivasi" you are in everything

Your home is in everything, there's
nothing we can point to and say

that is not God,
God is not inside that thing.

So then Maharaj carries on:

Jaap Sahib is a little bit like
practice for singing as well

because the whole mouth gets used up
These muscles, these words

very different from how
we would normally use them

So Maharaj say:

Oh Waheguru, "Sada"
"Sada" means always.

"Sidh" is powers spiritual powers
and the word "Da" is about giving.

Waheguru ji, you give spiritual powers
and you give Buddhi as well

"Budh" is intellectual powers

"Bridh", one old meaning is old person

but in this case it's not
"Bridh" as in old.

It's "Bridh" as in big.
So Maharaj, you make us big.

You make us big.

So Waheguru Ji, forever you give
spiritual powers,

you give intellectual powers

You also make us big,
you are the source of growth

we might feed a child and we think we
made that child big but actually

we didn't make that child big
Waheguru ji made that's child big

we might get intelligent we might
make loads of money

we might in fact get very
spiritually powerful

but all those things are gifts of waheguru
they're not from ourselves

that's why we always start off by saying

Waheguru Ji, everything is a gift from
you and the worst thing we can do

is become "Akira Kana" which is
to be ungrateful for those

things that are being given to us

akira is somebody who doesn't
thank the source of everything

which is which is waheguru,

Waheguru Ji, the world "Adho"
means lower places the hells

"Urdh" means the heavens
so this is talking about the three places

The word "Ardang" means in between

And then is says "Adho urdh Ardhang"
which means

Waheuru Ji, your are in the lower places,
you are in the heavens

and you are also here
where we are in between

The word "aghang" is from fire.

The word Ogh means sins.
our Paap

So Waheguru Ji "Harta" means destroyer.
You are the destroyer of the Paap

You are the destroy of all of ours.
in the fire you burn our sins

Now how does Waheguru Ji burn our sins
it's an interesting idea Mahraj put there

With the fire they burn our sins
what fire is that

that fire is a fire of saying vaheguru,
naam

by calling god it's like a little spark
and all of our sins are described

For example if you read

Maharaj describes that our sins
are like a massive load of straw

a big pile of straw or let's say wood and
in that wood and straw

and as big as it could be all it
takes to burn it all down is one spark

so that Waheguru who lives in the heavens
in the hells and in here

who is everywhere if we call upon him
then he can burn away all of our paap

that's why even in Jabji Sahib will say

just to listen to Bani is that powerful
all of our Paaps can be wiped out

just by listening to gurbani
so imagine what could happen

if we started not just to listen
but to accept and to follow it

How much more would we get

It wouldn't just be a negative situation
where all of our paaps get wiped out

it'd be a positive situation
we got to experience the Naam

"Param " means supreme
So if you know somebody called Paramjeet

That name means the supreme victory
"Paramjoort" the supreme light

So these words we should understand
because our names come from these words

and so does the word parame param

ishwar the supreme deity the supreme god

param

Waheguru you are the supreme
supreme supreme deity,

you are the supreme being
worthy of worship

Now the word " Prooch" approach has two
meanings one meaning is that

the word paal firstly is about
taking care of something

Prochh means the earth then it
can mean waheguru Ji

you are the supreme supreme
supreme Creator

Waheguru but also you take
care of the whole world

but the word Prochh can also mean hidden

So Waheguru not only are you the
supreme supreme being

but also you are hidden, but not only
are you hidden you take care of everything

"Sadaa" Forever
"Sarab-daa" for everybody you give

"daa" means giver
"Sarab-daa" you give to everybody

"Sidh" means spiritual powers
and blessings in fact the word

"Sidh" can mean to master
something as well

When we have the theory of Bani the theory
of what we want to achieve in this world

Then to be Sidh karna means to
achieve it to actually fulfill it

to perfect the technique so
the blessing can also be Naam

Pubjbai

that means that we achieve naam
by working hard by doing kamae

and the Mahraj says "daaraa diaalang
you are the compassionate giver waheguru

Diaalang means kippa compassionate
Waheguru you are the compassionate giver

of these things of all spiritual
blessings to every single person forever

and no one can see you
but you take care of everything

you are the supreme Waheguru

Waheguru you are "achhedee" you cannot be
cut you can't be ripped you are "abhedee"

the word "bhed"means in this way
that you can't pass them impossible

you can't break them if they have a
system you can't break that system

So you are a "abhedee" and "Anaamang"
waheguruji we've come across this before.

you have no name.
Now It's interesting sometimes

because we talked about this before
That name is actually one of the

biggest causes of ego we
always want our name to be known

and bani was saying

nobody should know my name
nobody should even know who i am

and no one knows waheguru as well
no one knows their special name

no one is closer to them than anybody else
they are completely laid from this world

and in one way they are anarman
because you can call them what you like

but no one will know their special name
they have no name and the never take

Although they do everything they
never ever take responsibility for it

we would like to say that i earned this
money i gave this money away

and never ever will there be a sign
that comes up from heaven

No I did this

You know if it was you and your
mates and somebody said to you

Oh thank you for doing that but
it wasn't you that did it was your mate

and then he if he said oh it's
all right thanks very much yeah

then you'll probably butt in and say
hold on you didn't do that i did it yeah

Because our ego pops up
we want to take responsibility

But you know Waheguru Ji they are "afes
They have no ego,

no matter what we do never ever will
we hear from god i did that not you

but actually at the same time if we are
blessed then we get to see the signs

that remind us of the truth so guru sahib
signs come in front of us

and we realize hold on that wasn't me
that was a blessing from Waheguru

So they are Anaamang and the are Akaamang
they have no desire

The word Kaam also obviously it
means lust but it also means desire

So they have no desire
and them Mahraj says

The word "Paraj" means creation
to create something

"Samosto" means everything.
So Maharaj you make everything.

You create everything

And then "Samas tast dhanmang"
The word "Dhanm" means house

And "Samas tast" means inside everything
bow to you who are inside everything

You are inside all houses
and you are inside all creation

you make everything and
you are inside everybody

How are they inside everybody

because sometimes we're trying to find
why guru we don't know where to look

we come to the gurudwara maybe
we look up maybe we look down

we look inside and people think what
should i concentrate on when i do my paath

where should i look ,
what should i think about

Because baani will say
in your mind think about guru

So think about guru but what is guru?
Guru is our baani

So what maharaja is saying is in your mind
think about bani

in your head think about bani
when you speak it listen to it

So if Waheguru is inside us
the fastest way to find Waheguru

Is just to find it inside us not go
anywhere else they are inside us

Their house is inside us so when
we sit and we close our eyes

and we say "Waheguru, Waheguru Waheguru"
we are calling them

But sometimes you don't have to call
them outside we can call them from inside

Say Maraaj
You are inside me

let me see you you're inside me
let me see your light inside me

so that's the last chance 61
of that section

now this is in a way when we're
trying um understand jaap Sahib

I always see this as a
quarter of the way through

although it's not a 61 but in my head
because when you try to memorize a Paath

Then what you try to do is you
try to break you up into sections

that are easily recognizable

It's like markers mental markers
in your mind where you are

So this is kind of like a quarter of job
Jaap Sahib we've gone through now

And if we want to start to memorize
Jaap Sahib

Then maybe we should start to
memorize up to this part

and then from here the next section
is going to be up to gobind

that's halfway through and then
you can see that the next half can be

divided into two bits as well

So Mahrajs Say:

Oh Waheguru with your power
jor we know means power

So Waheguru Ji is Tera Jor
Not my Jor

Guru Sahib is not saying that
with my power i do this

Guru Sahib is saying with your power
i do this

Guru Ji is saying in your hands is
all the power it's not in my hands

and then chaachree chand
now we talked chaachree chand

That this is like a four letter Chhand

almost like there's four very
quick parts to it in each chun

and it's very quick when you say this
so it's nice to you can sing it slowly

but actually there's a lot
of bead us inide it.

so you can see the section is
very small like a little marker

Mahraj says Jale Hain remember that word
Hain its not hair its Hain

it's a little nasal sound if you
don't know how to read gurmukhi yet

when we get to that we start
the series on the youtube channel

We've already put up the first
four videos on it so we should try

if we can't understand gurbani
if our kids can't understand gurubani

then get onto the youtube
channel and start reading the akkas

and this hain is one lagamatra
it's a little bindi on top

and what it will do is cause it nasalise
So Jale Hain

Waheguru ji you are in the water
The word Jale mean pani

So "Jale Hain" you are in the water
and "Thale Hain" Waheguru Ji

You are in the Thal Tale means like earth
and it can also mean dry land

so you're in the wet areas
and you're in the dry areas

you're in the seas and the
oceans and you're on the land

now this is interesting because
you know in many religions

they try to point out where
god is everybody will try

to say god is here
or god is there

If you were in the Islamic religion then
you would say god is not in that world

god is transcendent
waheguruji is not in the world

and if you try to tell them well no
waheguru is everywhere they will disagree

because they will say in this world
there are many things that are unclean

Those unclean things can't have god
inside them because god is spark

But guru sahib has always said to
us that that's not the case

God is inside everything in every being
and inside every inanimate object as well

not the things that just move but the
things that don't move like stones

and the water in the ground
in the earth itself

because for us vaheguru ji is like energy
so energy in fact if you understand

chemically in physics as well we
can understand the sciences is that

there is no such thing as matter
all there is is energy moving

All the time its vibrating
so this is scientifically true

The every single thing is energy, that's
why Waheguru is the source of all energy

you're inside everything and
in your power waheguru ji

is all the water and all the land

If you were in the hindu taram then you
would say that god is inside the mandir

or inside the murtis

And Mahraj is saying no he's
not just there he's in nature

You don't have to go to a specific
temple you don't have

to go to a specific water place
some specific Terat he's in everywhere

Wherever you go on this planet
in any ocean or upon any country

vaheguruji is there

you don't have to worry about traveling as
a sikh you know we quite happy to Travel

waheguruji is everywhere there's no
specific place we're going to lose out

he's not just in the west or in the east
now even if you were islamic you might

god might not be anywhere be
bowing down to one place

Mahraj is just saying no he is everywhere.

Waheguru you are Abheet
the word bheet can mean without cover

so the Bheet can mean cover and
Abheet means you are without cover.

You are not hidden

now you might say well
hold on waheguru Ji ishideen

But if he's in the water and in
the land then he's not hidden

and we can see him wherever
we want he is there

the word bheet can mean fear abheet
means waheguru hi you are without fear

and then "Abhe Hain" "Bhe" comes
from the word Bhece appearance

So if you are without appearance
you are intangible no one can

see you so you can't be
touched you can't be seen

now although you are in the water
and you are in the earth

Guru sahib is saying no one
can touch you either

so if Mahraj is playing with
our minds in one way

Mahraj is trying to get us to break our
idea of god is here and god is not there

he's inside everything and he's inside
nothing as well

and then Mahraj says next
to explain to us even more

prabhoo hain, ajoo hain
Waheguru ji is prabhoo

the word prabhoo comes up all the time
and we use it in normal punjabi

that is god but it actually means
transcendental god

so although he's in the water he's in
the land he's separate from it all

he's prabhoo and then ajoo hain
he's outside the juni

he's not in the life cycle that we are
inside we are inside in the ajoon

but wareheguru is not
inside the dunes he's outside

And then Ades hain abhes hain
they have no country

there's no dish that is waheguru's dish
there is no paste that is why grew space

again and again this will
come up in Jaap Sahib

"Ades Hain, Abhes Hain" because
the word des means country

but the world Dhes often means
costume of that country

So in this country the costume is
trousers and shirts yeah

now waheguruji has no such costume
so if you were in punjab

then the it might be kurta pajama over
there if you in some other countries it

would be a long cloak down to here
if you look at the burmese sikhs who

live in burma they wear a long lungi
like all the other burmese people

so there is no specific costume for guru

Now yes we have our Kes and
our punch kakans

but it doesn't mean that when a sikh
goes out into the real world

when i say real world i mean you know
come come god

they can't just wear the normal clothes a
local area we're not some cutter group

and you can't just say to somebody oh n

he's got the style style of paag that he's
not really a you know a guru's warrior

It doesnt work that way

mahraj has told us many times
don't judge on the outside

So we shouldn't try as a sikh we should
try our best to understand these words

"Ades Hain Abhes Hain"
shouldn't be judging people upon which

country they come from
or what kind of clothes they wear

The inside is very important

"Bhurang" means snake so this this
chant is going to go like a snake

It's going to go like this and
like that left and right

Sometimes it will go into positives
of Waheguru

Sometimes it will go into negatives
of Waheguru

And then "Prayaat" Its trying
to give us a veiw of whats beyond

we are on this world right now but
bani has come from the other world

so bani from the other world will try to
show us what the other world is like

what we should be aspiring towards

Oh Waheguru ji you are "agadhe", "Agadh"
is like a really deep unfathomable ocean

We can never work out how
deep you are waheguru

we can never get to the ends of you

And it's a bit like a fish would
look at the Ocean

The ocean as a human being
we might be able tochart the ocean

But for that fish it can't
chart the ocean it's too big for it.

And then "abaadhe" now baadh it
comes from the word to tie

bandhan karna so you can't
tie up waheguru

because they're so deep they're so
unfathomable we can't find the ends

to wrap them around with the string
they are "abaadhe"

they can't be tied down they
can't be bound down

And then "Anandee saroope" oh Waheguru Ji
your form your "Saroope" is of Anand

your very form is of bliss
now if their form is off bliss

Then when we connect to
waheguru we will get bliss

We talked about this many times
that the word nam the easiest

translation in english is connection
so when we connect to waheguru

we are expecting to feel bliss

I was talking to this lady this week
and she was talking about how she

did all this sahaja yoga and other stuff
it started to get her kundalini rising

so i just asked the question i said
banji did you feel the anand

and she said no it was a bit of
heat it was different things

i said you didn't feel the bliss no
so basically she got to experience

her own energy but she didn't
get to experience Waheguru

So a lot of yoga was trying to get
to your energy to get awakened

right and you can say well inside me is
energy of god as well and that's true

but what you want to do is connect to
the supreme being

and if we're not getting bliss
then we're not going the right way

it's like the pointer you know
when you're going the right way

when you play with kids games you say
like hot hot cold cold hot hot

yeah as they come closer and
they go further away

so they know what they're getting
pointed in the right direction

So the bliss is kind
of like the right direction

as we start to feel blessed
and start to feel more Anand

as we connect to vaheguru
we're enjoying it

that's like a good pointer that
you're going the right way

Don't get scared about it
we are expecting to feel very happy

when we find Waheguru

we're not expecting to get all sad amaros
yeah because they are "Anand saroope"

now it will be true some people will
get sad they'll start crying

because they'll start to miss waheguru
yeah they'll be in kitten programs

and they'll be crying you don't need to
go up to them and ask them if they're okay

they're fine yeah they're just
experiencing god right now

and they're crying for god because if
you don't know what that feeling is like

then that means that this person
has been blessed to go closer

yeah so in fact the word the
tears are coming to us in baani

the tears are coming in the
gurdwara are good tears

they're not bad tears they're good tears
because our heart is opening up

if somebody is hard-hearted
they'll never cry

if somebody's soft-hearted
they'll start to cry

so bani is about making
this heart very soft as well

Mahraj says that you are anandi sarube
Waheguru ji you are annand

you are pure bliss and

i bow to you Waheguru sarab means everybody
Maane means respect

everybody respect you

my name is respect everybody respects

Waheguru Ji even the people of the
heavens the people in the hells

and the people on the earth
everybody respects you

now you might say well that's not true
you know you put up videos or whatever

people keep come on cussing god they go
there's no such thing as god

Na Mande Maraj Singh everyone Mands you

But the fact manana can also
mean to accept something

and everybody accepts god's hukum
you can't help but accept it because

you're inside it they're the
one that decide everything

so we might be able to say well i don't
accept god but we still breathe

we can't stop breathing can we
yeah we can't stop eating

it's a system that they made
we have to play the system

if we don't we'll just die and
even then when we're dying

somebody might be able to revive us
depending upon Waheguru's power

or not so many scientists and physicians
realize that they don't know much

after all this time of working they'll
say well you know we've done all we can

the rest is god's hands
because everybody accepts

that the system the whole
power everything comes from vaheguru

so and also "Sarah Maane" can mean that
all respect comes from you waheguru

The deepest form of respect we get
from us from sikhi is that people start to

praise you all the time and
it's a bit of a problem sometimes

as you start to follow sikhi everybody's
always coming up to you and praising you

and you're like you know what i don't
need that i need to get on my siki

don't need you to come up and tell me oh
thanks so much great great great.

Even your family you start to say oh dude

you become a santa now you started to stop
eating meat you start to stop drinking

stop going out they'll start taking the
mickey out of you a little bit as well

yeah but this is the way is we can't
help it because mahraj made this system

That people start to respect the
such and that's why it says in bani

as you start to walk upon this true path
then the world will start to praise you

it's just part of the problems everybody
who becomes more spiritual

will end up having to deal with ego
because people will start to respect them

and that's one of the problems that
comes it's one of the tests of spirituality

so Mahraj says: "Samastee Nidhaane"
Samastee means everything

"Nidhaane" means the storehouse Waheguru
you are the storehouse of everything

you are where everything comes from
you have everything when we talk about

everything sikhis told us the four things that we

sikhis told us the four things
that we should be aiming for

if we follow sikhi we get four things
"Dharam" righteousness

to live a righteous life to be fulfilling
our duty to god and to society

And then "Arth" Arth means wealth
mostly if you follow sikhi

won't be destitute because Mahraj says

and the more respectful and better
person you are in business

the more people will trust you more
business will come this way

it's true that some people think it's
good to cheat and make money

but in the long term the more
honest you are the more you'll be trusted

and then Kaam to be married to be
taking part in normal worldly things

and then finally moksha mukti
those are the things that we want

really we want to have a normal life we
want to be blessed with righteousness

we want to be blessed with Naam
and finally want to get mukti

so these things come from Waheguru
Mahraj say:

Waheguru Ji I bow to you
you have no Narthe

ninranthe you have no master
the word Nathe can mean master

it can also mean father so you are
Nirnathe not only have you no

master but you have no father
No body made you Waheguru Ji

You are nrinaa the not namastetang
its Namastwang the next few lines

Panti of Jaab Sahib Mahraj will say
Namastwang with the vava underneath

that's one of the matra and
in gurmukhi underneath the tata

you'll have a little shot vava and
that means tava like tava pasang

Waheguru Ji about you Namastwang aganje
you cannot be broken Waheguru

You are impregnable and "Namastwang
Abhanji" about you

Waheguru Ji you cannot be destroyed
no one can try to destroy you Waheguru

no matter what they do this
rule this Hukum cannot be broken

so when we understand the hukam can't
be broken waiguji can't be broken

we have to start to fall
in line with the hukum

it's like when you take somebody into
the army initially you have to train them

and the problem is they
want to do things their way right

so what happens is they break them in
training they make them run around

like crazy shout at them
scream at them until finally

they just do what you tell them to do

and then they can train
you up to do it properly

so many ways in sikki
we've been told the same thing

you can do all you want run around you
will finally fall at your guru's feet

Mahraj now you tell me what to do
and then guruji is ready to teach you

So we have go to guru sahib empty
we can't go to them with full of hankar

Say i know how to do this
we have to go to them

Mahraj tusi ja tho tell me what i
should do because i don't know anymore

i've tried everything else it hasn't
worked because they are abhanji

They can't be destroyed
so we accepted them

Waheguru Ji about you
maharaja you are a kali

you are outside of time the word call
can mean time and it can mean death

so wahreguru ji you are outside of time
and you are outside of death

you are immortal and you are
without time they are everywhere

in all time and outside of all of time
so they are timeless and immortal

"Namstwang Apaale" about you do not
need anybody to protect you

"Apaale" Paalna means to to
look after something

so we get Paaled by our parents
we get paale by Waheguru

But they don't get looked after
by anybody there's no one

who is there to defend Waheguru
There is no one there to look after them

They are almost it's a bit
lonely being Waheguru

in one way you might say they
got no father they got no friends

nirasangi they got no
one to look after them

so you might say
well they must be sad

but we they're not sad they're ananda
sarub yeah they're the very form of bliss

we can never have
they're totally separate from us

that's why our mind can't comprehend
them because the qualities that they have

then it goes:

about you Waheguru Ji are in
all countries and you are in all pace

you are in all costumes
now earlier on maharaj said

that you are adees and abhesee they say
now guru gobind sing is telling us

you see how it's like a snake maharaj
is getting us to break our mind down

don't have any conceptions of waheguru
in sukhmani Sahib Guru Amardev Ji maharaja

says to us what can a
child know about his father

in many ways he look at our children
how much we do for them

and they're so little and they won't
remember when they get older

those that have got older parents
who try to tell their kids

this is what it was like
when i looked after you

but the kids will never understand
even when we get older when i'm my age

look at myself and i think
how much my dad done for me

but i'll never know i'll never know
well what we will never know

what our parents did for us that's what
mahraj says to respect your parents

because we would never know how much
they did for us how much sacrifice for us

how many weekends how many holidays
how many little decisions they made

just to take care of us
and not take care of themselves

we've seen how society can go very wrong
when parents stop looking after kids

but that little bit of love that
little bit of taking care of you

hopefully that will percolate down into us

then we'll start taking care of our
kids as well in the same way

and we'll make sacrifices for them
because it's kind of like the life cycle

they look after us so we look after
our grandkids and their grandkids

so Mahraj kirpa all of us can start to respect
our parents look after them

as much as we can
because bhai godashi singh

does say that we should always
try and respect our parents

What they will do for us and
that's why we will never know what

waheguru Ji does for us as well
because they look after everybody

about you Waheguru you are
the king of all kings

and then what about you Waheguru Ji
you are the sahaja of all sahaj

now the word saaj is actually
a musical instrument

now in one way these are not the musical
instruments that we were blessed with

by our guru

A lot of people don't know this yeah
because it's kind of you know when you

come to gurdwara i know you've all been
there i've been there

come here mata go have longer go home
right there's never every question mark

that you're you think this is
how it's always been yeah

but notice this instrument and notics how
much it looks like those german harmoniums

Thats because it is a german musical instrument

yeah now germany is nowhere near punjab
yeah nowhere near punjab

so this thing is not traditional
sikh instrument

this harmonium is actually a
german instrument

Mahraj has given a saaj real saaj
they are stringed instruments

they're not playing like a
piano they've got strings

the good thing about strings
is that you can bend them

this is just a button thing you can't
bend these there's loads of half notes

not the full knot but a half note it's
called medena to bend the string

you can't do that with these instruments
these are not ideal for rag

the raw gets simplified you can't get
the full rag out of this

so actually those people that do wrong
in harmonium will never get the full rug

you just can't
so maharaja is blessed with instruments

like the taus the surrender
these are the traditional sikh instruments

and hopefully over time with investment
not by magic with investment

we can start to bring these instruments
back into our mainstream sikhi

because they pretty much left mainstream
sikhi now to bring them back

so maharaj you are the sahaja sahaja
you are the instrument of

all instruments but the word saaj
also means to create sajna

Waheguru Ji you are the king of all kings
and you're the creator of all creators

you make everything
that's when Mahraj says

about you Waheguru Ji
you are the shaha of all shah

the word shah can mean the king, emperor is a mughal word

raj is a indian word and
shaha is a persian word

so you are the emperor of
all emperors

but also the word saha in
punjabi can mean breath

you are the breath of all breath waheguru
you are the pran of all pran

you are the giver of the breath
so you are the breath of all breaths

And Namo Maah Mahe he word Maaha
means month literally means month

but it doesn't mean the month in the
english month with the solar calendar

is the lunar month so
it's about the moon

so in the indian calendar if
you didn't know is not divided by

the solar cycle of one year 365
days but by the lunar cycle

of how long take for one
month to get to the full moon

that's why we celebrate things like
Sagrand they don't fall in the same day

and puran mashi because
it's about the lunar calendar

so this can that's why the word moon
also comes from the word maha

so maha mahi can mean
the moon of all moons

not just a month of all months
but the moon of all moons

Then Mahraj says

Waheguru you are the song of all songs

we know the word geet means
ghanaian songs i bow to you

Waheguru Ji you are the song of all songs

and I bow to you waheguruji
you are the love of all loves

the word preet means love so if you
know someone called jaspreet or harpreet

the word preet there is about love
so harpreet means love for vaheguru

love for hari and Waheguru Ji
you are the love of all loves

this is an interesting idea because
sometimes when we come to gurdwara

we think about god we start to think
about god in a very guilty way

oh i'm so bad i don't worship god oh i'm
so and we've got this guilt trip thing

and there's nothing wrong with
having a little bit of respect

Mahraj Says

those that have fear inside
them they also have love

so we need to have others for our guru

we can't just treat them like nobody
and then say they still love me

we have to have respect for them at the
same time they are the love of all loves

because they are the ultimate love
when we love someone else

that love can break it can go when we
love waheguru the love will not break

because it's the ultimate love because
that being is our ultimate other side

we all came from them we have to go back
to them there's nothing but them

there's nothing but Waheguru
so they are our ultimate love

that's why they are the breed of the preach
and that's why Mahrah Says in Bani

the true love are joined to you Waheguru
and i joined my love to you

then other loves started to break

so when i was in derby today somebody
asked the question

how do i get rid of attachment
emotional attachment to family

an interesting question because
you know we love our family so much

we think you know i can't
i find it very hard to separate

from my family because gurusav says

how do i break attachment

the thing is in life you have you know
how you have a horse and you have a cart

the horse always pulls the car it doesn't
push the car if you want to get the horse

to go anywhere make sure you
put the car behind the horse

that's why the saying comes
don't put the car before the horse

because it won't work
we can push horses can't

so in sikki naam is the horse
naam will pull everything behind it

we will see or not and it will
take us along if we do naam

so when we break our attachment
to other things

the first thing is to start the nam going

yeah you can't sit at home and say
oh i want to break my attachment

and your family comes and
says come let's go party

you go no i'm not going with you
i'm going to break my attachment to you

that would not be the correct way
to start breaking your attachment yeah

because what you're going to do with
your time when you're sitting at home

you're probably going to go to the
playstation on facebook yeah

there's still more right you're
just attached to a different thing

Mahraj is saying break the
attachment you start with nam

start by saying Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru
start to develop the love for naam

and then the other attachments
will end up breaking away

because start with the sachi breed
the rest will follow

and then Mahraj Says

The word salk in fact we've just come
from love but the word salk can mean anger

be rus you know and maraj says

Waheguru ji you are the
rage of all rage about you

it's a very strange idea but you
know when we do beat us bani

we feel full of the power of Waheguru
if you start to do more dasambani

maharaja is given that as a gift to us
if we start to murder

You will feel the power
you will feel the rage

that's why when you look at the old things
they should say that they are so loving

in the darbar but on the battlefield
they are like lions yeah ferocious

and that's how these things used to be
because they used to do dasambani

and the more we bring that into our pant
the more we'll find people that are able

to cope with life
otherwise you become very weak

Mahrah has given us this gift

you're the rage of all rage and
Waheguru ji I would you bow to you

the word sok can mean radiance as well
so about you the light of all lights

with the radiance of or radiance
also we said the word sock can mean dry

sukijana so you are the one who
dries everybody else up everybody up

all of us we think we're so full of life
you know the word punjabi when you're

when you're young in punjabi
they use the word paria

so you're full of life but when you get
dried up you look at an old person

in many ways they are quite
you know the skin gets wrinkled

the life seems to be soaking away
from them they are suchay

and that's why it says

Waheguru ji because you are the
one who causes that to happen

you make us full of life and you
take it away from us as well

but while we are alive whether we're
young or we're old or we're even older

what should we do nam baal jawani are

you've got three stages of life
baal juwani and bird

to be young to be middle age
juwan and then to be old

and in these three stages
without naam they're all useless

so it's not the case that we should tell
our kids don't do naam japan

it's all right wait till you're older
it doesn't work that way

start them off young even at this age
when they're seven eight years old

start them saying Waheguru
start them doing part

okay then mara says

[Music]

you are the disease of all disease
now you might say well that

doesn't make any sense
but you know the disease of a disease

will cure the disease
if we get our heads around that

so what is the biggest disease for us
the biggest disease is homemade

and how do we get rid of this
homemade disease Naam

your name is the killer
of the biggest disease

about you waheguru ji you are the
enjoyer of all pleasures

there is no pleasure in this world that
is not known to waheguru

saraba but at the same time we
have to stay within our maryada

it's not the case that because waheguruji
is they know all the pleasures

that we have all the pleasures
no we don't have no other pledges

what we need to know is what is
within our maryada in our hukum

Mahraj says

[Music]

about you Waheguru Ji you are sad
you are the winner of everything

in fact the whole of sikhi is
about waheguru ji winning

that's why we say vaheguru ji ka khalsa
vaheguru ji ki pati victory for you

waheguru ji we're not working for
ourselves we're working for you

many people say oh you're going to preach
sikhi to people on the streets or whatever

that's rude because we're not allowed to
preach it's not the case that we're

preaching sikhi we're preaching naam

if you meet a christian person and they
say i don't want to become a sikh

what we're going to say to them
you're going to go to hell

no that's not our way we'll say to
them great you love jesus

brilliant wake up in the morning
and call for him call your guru

jesus is their guru our guru is guru
gobind singh ji so we're going to call

them with guru guru
they're going to say jesus jesus let

them let us preach naam to
the whole world let us not preach jasiki

and Mahraj says are victory to you
you are always going to be the winner

about you waheguru Ji
everybody is scared of you

the word pete said earlier means fear
sariba beethoven

everybody vaheguruji is scared of you
and actually that's true when something

really bad happens to us right we
get scared we say maharaj save me

everybody's scared of god turning
their back on them and not helping them

when they need it and this
is the way the world works

but sometimes we only ask ask for
saving we never do anything back

we should try our best to do something
back as well and not just keep begging

from god save me save me save me they
have given us many ways of being saved

and one of the best ways is to do it for
yourself by living a good sick life

and Mahrah says

About you Waheguru Ji, you are the biggest gyan you are sariba

All knowledge is from you but also
you are the highest form of knowledge

they know everything all
knowledge comes from them

but the highest form of knowledge is them
sariba gyan brahm gyan

the highest gyan Waheguru Ji
is from you about to you

you are the ultimate form of knowledge
we said earlier can mean strength

They are the ultimate strength but also
because the word tan can mean limitless

then it can also mean paramathanang you
are the creator of the limitless world

And Mahraj says then very interesting
they say no more no more so

Manta is something which we
chant doesn't have to be written down

you see in india when people go to some
bababa to get some mantra or some nam

what they will do is they'll blow it into
your ear as in some don't write it down

don't tell anybody
even though sikhi is all written down

for us yeah everything's written down
but even then some baba will come along

and say i'll give you a special mantra
no one even knows his mantra only i know

it and i'll whisper it in your ear
don't tell anybody don't even say out loud

just whisper it to yourself
so the word mantra meant something that

was not that was not written down
it was more something to be say

so we have mull manta which we chant
bani is not something we just read

we chant it but also says no more

the word jantar is something
more that was written down

it's a formula you might say and some
people even have it on their arms

You get like a lot of not in not in seeks
that much but in the muslim world

they have a lot of things where they have a string
on that string there's some things

written down they have it on their arm
so a jantar was something that was a

formula that was written down
you might not even understand it but it

was meant to have power
so maharaj you are mantra you are the

most the biggest mantra of all mantras
and you are the biggest junta of all jantars

and that's exactly what we're looking
at now guru granth sahib ji

guru gandhi is a mantra of all mantras
that barney is the highest barney

that we sing and we recite
it and it's the highest bani

because it's written down as well
and it's the most amazing thing

that's ever been written
down in the human history

because it is if you study
guru granth sahib ji you'll be amazed

now on the Wahegure course that
we're going through right now

last week we covered guru granth sahib ji
we just spent one and a half hours

just talking about guru ganth Sahib Ji
who's inside it, how is it divided

how is it structured and you'll
be surprised how many people

have been coming to gurdwara
for 40 50 odd years mata taking i

have never really looked at
guru granth sahib ji

so it becomes a bit of an idol worship
if you don't look at your guru

then what what are you matter taking
too i know a sign of respect to our

guru granth Sahib
because guru Nanak ji made it

and guru gobind singh made it the guru
but shouldn't we open it as well look inside it

how is it divided why is raag
so important to us

these things are very important for us to
learn we can't just treat it as a ritual

sikhi is about learning

Waheguru Ji about you you see everything
drison comes in the word drishti

drishti means to see something so Waheguru
Ji about to you you see everything

but also the word drist is also
used for a kirpa kirpa drishti

so blessings come from waigruji
looking upon you that's why we say

Mahraj saddiq but when guruji

When guruji looks he looks wiht kippa
so you are the one maharaja that

looks after everybody you are the one
that does kirpa upon everybody

cerebral dressing and about you
Waheguru Ji you are sariba krishna

the word christian means to be
attracted to somebody

so you are the most
beautiful thing in the world

whenever somebody experiences you
straight away they are attracted to you

it's not the case that we say
Waheguru Waheguru

and then we might get to experience god

and we're saying i was all right
i'd rather go home and watch tv

no it doesn't work that way if you
want to go down to a sikhi

it's almost like in the health warning
yeah be very aware

if you go down sikhi and you get to
experience god it will change your life

because it's like falling in love
when you start to fall in love with

somebody it will change your life
because then all your priorities change

it's no longer about what
you wanted to do previously

now you want to go back to the experience
you want to meet that person again

just like if somebody fell in love with
somebody who was living in a far-off world

then they'd probably work even harder
to save the raise the money up to fly there

and go and see them in the same way
when you get into sikhi then you will

spend more time trying to re-experience
god than you would trying to do something

else you should do before so clubbing
might not become so important

alcohol might not become so important
experiencing god might become more important

so Waheguru about to you are
sariba krishna you attract everybody

to meet you is to fall in love with you
Mahraj says

It's good that Mahraj says this next
because rangi is means love

in bani ranga means to be in love so

Waheguru about you you are all
love all of you is all about love

and then the word rang can also mean the
the three rungs

everything in this world has got
these colors either is satwik

satwik means something which
is very truth orientated

that's why even people in india
they have satellite kana

it's supposed to be very light and
not give you any passions or anything

then there's Tamogan,
Tamogan is all about laziness

if you know people that are very lazy
then they might be stuck inside

and then there's rajogun rajokin
is all about doing about action

so if you see people that can't sit still
then they're probably involved

more than rajogun
so these are the three guns

Waheguru Ji you are all of
those

you are above all of those
and all of those are inside you

Waheguru Ji You are "tribanngee"
The word Banhge mean to destroy

bhangi means to destroy all the three
which three is guruji talking about

maharaja is talking about the three worlds
the sur lok mart lok and the narc

you destroy all three worlds trebhangi

The word ang means limb so the work
anange means without any limbs

Waheguru Ji about you have
no limbs you have no body

nothing which is copyrighted we ask them
to heart give me your hand and protect me

up in our heart

protect me with your hand but at the
same time they have no hands

they have no angs

Mahraj comes to the end
of this last two of this chant says

about you vaheguru ji
you are the jeeve of all jeev

you are the life of all life
every life has come from you waheguru Ji.

that's what we say in kitan swala

You are the life inside
everybody Waheguru Ji

About you Waheguru Ji you
are the seed of all seeds

even the seed inside us inside a mother
that allows the baby to grow up

that seed is also from waheguru
but the mother is from Waeguru

they are the ultimate seed when
you start a seed is the source of something

Waheguru Ji is the source of everything
at the very beginning when it all began

with just the that one with
the sound that made everything

that sound was Waheguru Ji making
the Beej that was their Beej

beach

that was their beach they put into the

world that's why i said in japji

later on that they made the whole world

and we say our days to

with s

the one made this and how did they do it

at the very beginning

they started it all off with the one

sound

just with that sound they made

everything what we see now

13.4 billion years ago was started by

guruji

just with one sound that's how amazing

it was

means to get angry we know that from our

parents

yeah and now and sometimes from our from

the older people

they never get angry we could be

in many ways we think well they're never

going to accept this puppy person

because he's too bad but they're not

like that no matter where we are in the

world

thank god literally thank god that they

will always accept

us yeah because no matter where we are

if we turn to them

they are a kid jay they will accept us

and they are

they have no desire they are without

anger and without desire and then

samastha

president the president word

means to be compassionate to look after

people and abortion

you are compassionate to everybody

samasthang

and then kripalang sarupay kirpa

to do grace your vaheguruji your saroop

your form

earlier we said you are now says

because remember it says karamnam this

is not the real name of

all of these this is the actions so yes

their form is anand

but also their form is kirpa they're

very formal skill but when we come to

them

and they look at us with their kirpa

drishti then we get blessed with kirpa

that's how we ask the mothers like

he says i want to die but i want to die

at god's

question say who is this guy outside my

door dying

you know i want to die i want to have

ghost though let not be that god says

who is this guy

because let god know me and let me know

god

how do we know god when we call them

they will know us the more we call them

the more they will know us

the more we look after them the more we

listen to their button they will know us

and then when they look at us we'll get

kirpa

they destroy kuk karman ku

in punjabi whenever something is nice

they say su

when something is bad they say so could

ahead

could means to go against your head so

ku karman

means to go against the right actions

your karam are bad

bad karam kukar maharaj you destroy

all bad people that are doing bad karma

and you destroy

all the sins as well all our kukaram our

bad karma

you destroyed

you are forever the one who gives to

everybody what do you give

riddhi and siddhi you bless us with

spiritual powers

you bless us with even the ability to

cut

to complete what you've been telling us

they've been giving us this barney

but the strength to fulfill that bonding

to fulfill that nam

to experience them also comes for them

and read this

means to to live to live inside

something

so vaheguruji lives inside the whole

world and they're

always giving us giving giving all the

things that we think we achieve with our

own spiritual powers

with our own hard work they're all gifts

of vai guru

and we should be thanking them for it

you are insane about you you're the form

of kirpa

you destroy all of our sins and you are

forever ever giving us all the spiritual

powers that we come from following your

path

so with that we've got the 73rd chant of

javascipe

so this is the end of that section the

next section will be

we're going to go through that next week

somewhere we go to the end

we'll finish off sorry there was no key

thing this week but we had to get

through

a lot and um also it's hard to get

things if people wanted to keep them by

the way you feel welcome to come up to

me and say i'd like to keep them one

week

and you know we have got slots and tabla

players so you feel free to come that

if you have uh if you didn't know that

there is a youtube channel

and you've been listing remember all

this qatar is on youtube

and if your kids aren't coming here then

get them to listen to some of the

katha's at home

and then bring them here next time so uh

binti

sangat take a leaflet if you don't know

about it pass the word

tell your friends like now you've got

the sangha now quite full it's good

but at the beginning there's very few

people so do try to turn up for six

o'clock

and then try and bring your friends as

well if all of us in southall

can make this program um won't say

popular make this

program well attended that will be a

saver from every person because

i'm not here to spread my name in fact

you shouldn't really know my name most

people don't that's a good thing

this is not about me this is about

barney in this world of kalg right now

we need to attach our good six to bani

it's very important that we attach them

to bani

and the only day the way that will

happen is that we start to bring people

here

to the gurdwara because even if you

listen to youtube qatar

that's all right but the power of

sitting in sangat it can't be

underestimated maharaja says

so try and bring your friends your

family just bring them once

and let's make this program in salsa

with so many sikhs

we should have a pact qatar this is only

gathered in english happening the whole

week

so let's try and get more people to come

here if you've got people in your family

that are bored of sikhi

say come one week this maybe you'll like

it

this is how kirpa works as well so he
