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 work Jale mean pani

So jalayhan you

are in the water

and talay waheguruji you are in the thal

tal means like earth and it can also

mean like 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 so if

you were

in the islamic religion then you would

say that god is not in that world

god is transcendent waheguruji is not in

the world

and if you try to tell them well no why

gurus everywhere they will disagree

because they will say well look

in this world there are many things that

are unclean

napak those unclean things can't have

god inside them because god is spark

right 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 is vibrating

so this is scientifically true that

every single thing is energy and that's

why vaheguru is the source of all energy

you're inside everything and in your

power waheguru ji

is all the water and all the land and if

you were in the hindu taram

then you would say that god is inside

the mandir

or inside the murtis and mara just

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

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 fight for 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 anybody be bowing down

to one place

yeah mara just saying no he is

everywhere.

the word pete can mean uh without cover

so the feed can mean cover and upbeat

means you are without cover you are not

hidden

now you might say well hold on why

guruji is hidden but if he's in the

water

and in the land then he's not hidden is

he and we can see him wherever we want

the pa he is there but also the word

pete can mean

fear so apit means why guruji you are

without fear

and then ape comes from the word peace

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 marriage is playing with our minds

in one way manasana 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 the mother says next to explain to

us even more

prabhu

the word prabhu 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 prabhu he's outside the juni

he's not in the life cycle that we are

inside we are inside in the jews but why

guruji is not inside the dunes he's

outside

and then aday they have no country

there's no dish that is dish and there

is no paste that is why grew space

again and again this will come up in job

soil

because the word means country but the

word base

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 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 yeah so there is no

specific costume for guru

now yes we have our case and our punch

cards

but it doesn't mean that when a stick

goes out into the real world

when i say real world i mean you know

come come god

that 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

surprise

he's got the style style of bug that

he's not really a

you know a guru's warrior it doesn't

work that way

mara has told us many times don't judge

on the outside

yeah so we shouldn't try as a sikh we

should try our best

to understand these words that we

shouldn't be judging people upon which

country they come from

or what kind of clothes they wear the

inside is very important

the mother says

again 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

the positives of where i grew

sometimes we're going to negatives of

way guru and then

yatra is trying to give us a view of

what's beyond

we are on this world right now but

barney 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

says

you are a god a god is like a really

deep

unfathomable ocean we can never work out

how deep yeah i grew

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 to

chart the ocean but for that fish

it can't chart the ocean it's too big

for it and then

a bad day now bad it comes from the word

to toi

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 about they

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

bound down and then anandi

sarupe a vaheguru ji your form

your sarup 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

other stuff and 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 why he

grew 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 maha 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 why guru

we're not expecting to get all sad

amaros yeah because they are ananda

sarub

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

to cry for god

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 barney

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

so mara says that you are anandi sarube

vaheguruji

you are anand you are pure bliss and

then

i bow to you bhai guru sarab means

everybody

my name is respect everybody respects

you

wagruji 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

named everybody mums you

but in fact the word 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 why guru'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 rest

in god's hands because everybody accepts

to the system

the whole power everything comes from

vaheguru

so and also sariba mani can mean that

all pa

all respect comes from you why guru 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 yeah

and you're like you know what i don't

need that i need to get on my siki i

don't need you to come up and tell me oh

thanks so much

great great great yeah 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 yours or a little bit as

well

yeah but this is the way is

we can't help it because mara just made

this system that people start to respect

the such and that's why it says in bani

maharaj

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 then mara says samasthindhani means

everything

nidhan means the storehouse so

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

should be aiming for

if we follow sikhi we get four things

taram

righteousness to live a righteous life

to be fulfilling our duty to god

and to society okay then art art means

wealth

yeah we want mostly if you follow sikhi

won't be destitute because mother 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 calm 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

nam and finally want to get mukti

so these things come from mahi group the

mother says

you have no master the word not can mean

master it can also mean father

so you are not not only have you know

master but you have no father

nobody made you by guruji you are not

not namaste

the next few lines

will say with the vava underneath that's

one of the

matra and in gurmukhi underneath the

tata

you'll have a little shot of and that

means

you cannot be broken by guruji you are

impregnable

and namaste about you

you cannot be destroyed no one can try

to destroy

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

yeah

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 and say hearth

now you tell me what to do and then

guruji is ready to teach you so we have

to

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 tell me what i

should do because i don't know anymore

i've tried everything else it hasn't

worked

because they are a punjay they can't be

destroyed so we

accepted them and then namaste

about you maharaja you are a kali

you are outside of time the word call

can mean time

and it can mean death so 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 and

namaste

about you about you you do not need

anybody to protect you

apparently means risk to to look after

something

so we get piled by our parents we get

powered by

wai guru but they don't get looked after

by anybody there's no one

who is there to defend why good there's

no one there to look after them

they are almost it's a bit lonely being

wai guru

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

that's why our mind can't comprehend

them because the qualities that they

have

we can never have they're totally

separate from us

then it goes say

about you you are in all countries

and you are in all pace you are in all

costumes

now earlier on maharaj said

that you are they say now guru gobind

singh is telling us

so you see how it's a bit like a snake

maharaj is getting us to break our mind

down

don't have any conceptions of waheguru

in sukhmani swahili

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 and 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 i

look at myself and i think oh how much

my dad must done for me

but i'll never know i'll never know yeah

well

what we will never know what our parents

did for us that's what mada 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 maras kirpa all of us can start to

respect our parents look after them

as much as we can because bhai godashi

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

guruji does for us as well

because they look after everybody

about you i grew you are the king of all

kings

and then what about you bhai guruji 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 notice

how much it looks like

those german harmoniums that's 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

mara just given a saaj real sage

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

so why guruji you are the king of all

kings

and you're the creator of all creators

you make everything that's when mara

says

about you you are the shaha

of o 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

in punjabi can mean breath

you are the breath of oh bresway guru

you are the pran

of old pran

you are the giver of the breath so you

are the breath of

breasts and the more maha mahi the word

maha

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

uh 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

and that's why we celebrate things like

and 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

the mother says

you are the song of all songs we know

the word geet

means ghanaian songs i bow to you

vahreji you are the song of all songs

and about 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 dey

is about love so harpreet means

love for vaheguru love for hari and

magruji 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

yeah mara 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 but 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 wai guru so they are

our ultimate love

that's why they are the breed of the

preach and that's why mara says in bani

sachi breed hum thom s

the true love are joined to you vaheguru

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 manager is saying break

the attachment you start with nam

start by saying

start to develop the love for nam and

then the other attachments will end up

breaking away because

start with the sachi breed the rest will

follow

and then mara says

okay the word salk

in fact we've just come from love but

the word salk

can mean anger be rus you know

and mara says 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 if you

start to do more dasambani

maharaja is given that as a gift to us

if we start to murder somebody 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 mother

has given us this gift

you're the rage of all rage and why

would you bow

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 drives 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 uh 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 such a gay

and that's why it says okay 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

the bird

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

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 stop them saying wahi

guru satan 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

nom 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

says

[Music]

about you by guruji 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 mother says are victory to you

you are always going to be the winner

and the most

about you 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 what it

says

you are the biggest gyan you are sariba

gyan

all knowledge is from you

but also or 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 vai guruji is from you

about to you you are the ultimate form

of knowledge

we said earlier can mean strength

so 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

the mother says then very interesting

they say no more

no more so

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 yeah

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 mother 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 know you get like a lot of um 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 white guru 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 rinpoche 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 and

the guru grantham sanji because guru

jinder 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 always

as a ritual

sikhi is about learning

you see everything drison comes in the

word drishti

drishti means to see something so why is

he 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 mara's

saddiq but when guruji looks he looks

with kirpa

so you are the one maharaja that looks

after everybody you are the one that

does kirpa upon everybody

cerebral dressing and about you ah

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 vaheguru

waheguru

and then we might not if 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 why guilty about to you you are

sariba krishna

you attract everybody to meet you is to

fall in love with you

says it's good that might have said this

next

because rangi is means love

in bani ranga means to be in love so

namaste

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 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

you asked you are all of those you are

above all of those

and all of those are inside you

says

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

means without any limbs about you you

have no limbs you have no body

nothing which is copyrighted but you

can't 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 comes to the end of

this

last two of this chant says

[Music]

even about you vaheguru ji you are the

jeeve of all jeev

you are the life of all life every life

has come from you ah guru ji

that's what we say in kittens

you are the seed of all seeds

even the seed inside us that allows

inside a mother that allows the baby to

grow up that seed

is also from waheguru but the mother is

from my guru

there is they are the ultimate seed when

you start a seed is the source of

something

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 why guruji making the

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
