ਉਤਪਤਤ ਪਰਲਉ ਸਬਦੇ ਹੋਵੈ ॥ ਸਬਦੇ ਹੀ ਤਿਤਰ ਓਪਤਤ ਹੋਵੈ ॥ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਵਰਤੈ ਸਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਸਚਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਉਪਾਇ ਸਮਾਵਤਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਮੰਤਿ ਵਸਾਵਤਿਆ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਸਾਤਤ ਭਗਤਤ ਕਰੇ ਤਦਿੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਗੁਿ ਕਤਹ ਗੁਿੀ ਸਮਾਵਤਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਧਰਤੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਪਾਿੀ ॥ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਪਵਿੁ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਿੇਲੈ ਤਵਡਾਿੀ ॥ ਸੋ ਤਿਗੁਰਾ ਜੋ ਮਤਰ ਮਤਰ ਜੰਮੈ ਤਿਗੁਰੇ ਆਵਿ ਜਾਵਤਿਆ ॥੨॥ ਤਤਤਿ ਕਰਤੈ ਇਕੁ ਿੇਲੁ ਰਚਾਇਆ ॥ ਕਾਇਆ ਸਰੀਰੈ ਤਵਤਚ ਸਭੁ ਤਕਛੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ਸਬਤਦ ਭੇਤਦ ਕੋਈ ਮਹਲੁ ਪਾਏ ਮਹਲੇ ਮਹਤਲ ਬੁਲਾਵਤਿਆ ॥੩॥Creation and destruction happen through the Shabad. Through the Shabad, creation happens again. The Gurmukh knows that the True Lord is all-pervading. The Gurmukh understands creation and merger. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who enshrine the Perfect Guru within their minds. From the Guru comes peace and tranquility; worship Him with devotion, day and night. Chanting His Glorious Praises, merge into the Glorious Lord. ||1||Pause||

The Gurmukh is earth, and the Gurmukh is water. The Gurmukh is wind and fire; such is the wonder of His Play. One who has no Guru, dies over and over again, only to be re-born. One who has no Guru continues coming and going in reincarnation. ||2||

The One Creator has set this play in motion. In the frame of the human body, He has placed all things. Those few who are pierced through by the Shabad, obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. He calls them into His Wondrous Palace. ||3||

ਇਸੁ ਤਿ ਮਤਹ ਮਿੁ ਕੋ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਦੇਿੈ ॥

How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, look within their bodies, into their minds. 124

ਤਤਸੁ ਰੂਪੁ ਿ ਰੇਿ ਅਤਦਸਟੁ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਅਲਿੁ ਲਿਾਇਆ ॥ਸਦਾ ਅਿੰਤਦ ਰਹੈ ਤਦਿੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਹਜੇ ਿਾਤਮ ਸਮਾਇ ਜੀਉ ॥

He has no form or shape; He is unseen and unknown. The Gurmukhsees the unseen Lord. He remains in continual ecstasy, day and night, and is spontaneously absorbed into the Naam. 448

Who is wash Dhroo?

Dhroo was a Gurmukh

Dhroo lived in Sat Yug

Dhroo was Five

Dhroo reached God

Dhroo is remembered by the North Star

Dhroo’s teacher was Narad

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਿ ਿਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਉਧਰੇ ॥ਧੂ ਪਰਤਹਲਾਦੁ ਤਬਦਰੁ ਦਾਸੀ ਸੁਤੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਿਾਤਮ ਤਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

O my mind, chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you will be saved. Dhroo, Prahlaad and Bidar the slave-girl's son, became Gurmukh, and through the Naam, crossed over. ||1||Pause||

995

ਕਰੀ ਤਕਰਪਾ ਸਤਜੁਤਗ ਤਜਤਿ ਧੂ ਪਤਰ ॥ In Sat Yuga, He blessed Dhroo.

1401

ਪਾਂਚ ਬਰਿ ਕੋ ਅਿਾਥੁ ਧੂ ਬਾਤਰਕੁ ਹਤਰ ਤਸਮਰਤ ਅਮਰ ਅਟਾਰੇ ॥

The five year old orphan boy Dhroo, by meditating in remembrance on the Lord, became stationary and permanent.

999

ਧੂ ਕਉ ਤਮਤਲਆ ਹਤਰ ਤਿਸੰਗ ॥੧॥

The Lord definitely met Dhroo. ||1||

1192

ਬੇਢੀ ਕੇ ਗੁਿ ਸੁਤਿ ਰੀ ਬਾਈ ਜਲਤਧ ਬਾਂਤਧ ਧੂ ਥਾਤਪਓ ਹੋ ॥ Listen to the virtues of this carpenter, O sister; He stopped the oceans, and established Dhroo as the pole star.

657

ਿਾਰਦ ਕਹਤ ਸੁਿਤ ਧੂਅ ਬਾਤਰਕ ਭਜਿ ਮਾਤਹ ਲਪਟਾਿੋ ॥੧॥ਅਚਲ ਅਮਰ ਤਿਰਭੈ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਇਓ ਜਗਤ ਜਾਤਹ ਹੈਰਾਿੋ ॥ਿਾਿਕ ਕਹਤ ਭਗਤ ਰਛਕ ਹਤਰ ਤਿਕਤਟ ਤਾਤਹ ਤੁਮ ਮਾਿੋ ॥੨॥੧॥

Listening to Naarad's teachings, the child Dhroo was absorbed in deep meditation. ||1|| He obtained the immovable, eternal state of fearlessness, and all the world was amazed. Says Nanak, the Lord is the Saving Grace and the Protector of His devotees; believe it - He is close to you. ||2||1||

830

Who is Narad?

• Narad is called a Gurmukh

• He is Dhroo’s and Pharlad’s Guru

• He taught salvation through Jap and Namm

• He comes from Bhrama not Bhram

• He only reached Naad, he serves at the door

• He promoted idol worship

• Some of Bhrama’s others sons are;

Sanak, Sanandan, Sanaatan and Sanat

• He never got to Sacha Mal to see the light of his mind

ਿੁਤਿ ਤਰਤਹ ਤੇ ਸੰਤ ਤਹਤ ਭਗਤ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਕਰਤਹ ਤਤਰਓ ਪਰਹਲਾਦੁ ਗਰੁ ਤਮਲਤ ਮੁਤਿ ਜੰਿ ਰੇ ॥ਤਰਤਹ ਿਾਰਦਾਤਦ ਸਿਕਾਤਦ ਹਤਰ ਗੁਰਮੁਿਤਹ ਤਰਤਹ ਇਕ ਿਾਮ ਲਤਗ ਤਜਹੁ ਰਸ ਅੰਿ ਰੇ ॥ਦਾਸੁ ਬੇਿਤਤ ਕਹੈ ਿਾਮੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਲਹੈ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੁ ਗਰੁੂ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਜਪੁ ਮੰਿ ਰੇ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੨੯॥ And, the Saints and loving devotees are carried across, chanting Guru, Guru. Prahlaad and the silent sages met the Guru, and were carried across.

Naarad and Sanak and those men of God who became Gurmukh were carried across; attached to the One Name, they abandoned other tastes and pleasures, and were carried across.

This is the prayer of the Lord's humble slave: the Gurmukh obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, chanting Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, O my mind. ||4||16||29||

ਸਾਸਤਰ ਬੇਦ ਸੋਤਧ ਸੋਤਧ ਦੇਿੇ ਮੁਤਿ ਿਾਰਦ ਬਚਿ ਪੁਕਾਰੇ ॥ਰਾਮ ਿਾਮੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਗਤਤ ਪਾਵਹੁ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਤ ਗੁਤਰ ਤਿਸਤਾਰੇ ॥੩॥

I searched and searched through the Shaastras and the Vedas; Naaradthe silent sage proclaimed these words as well. Chanting the Lord's Name, salvation is attained; the Guru saves those in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||3||

983

ਿਾਰਦ ਸਾਰਦ ਸੇਵਕ ਤੇਰੇ ॥ ਤਤਰਭਵਤਿ ਸੇਵਕ ਵਡਹੁ ਵਡੇਰੇ ॥ ਸਭ ਤੇਰੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਤ ਤੂ ਤਸਤਰ ਤਸਤਰ ਦਾਤਾ ਸਭੁ ਤੇਰੋ ਕਾਰਿੁ ਕੀਿਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੫॥ਇਤਕ ਦਤਰ ਸੇਵਤਹ ਦਰਦੁ ਵਞਾਏ ॥ਓਇ ਦਰਗਹ ਪੈਧੇ ਸਤਤਗੁਰੂ ਛਡਾਏ ॥ ਹਉਮੈ ਬੰਧਿ ਸਤਤਗੁਤਰ ਤੋੜੇ ਤਚਤੁ ਚੰਚਲੁ ਚਲਤਿ ਿ ਦੀਿਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥Naarad and Saraswati are Your servants. Your servants are the greatest of the great, throughout the three worlds. Your creative power permeates all; You are the Great Giver of all. You created the whole creation. ||15||

Some serve at Your Door, and their sufferings are dispelled. They are robed with honor in the Court of the Lord, and emancipated by the True Guru. The True Guru breaks the bonds of egotism, and restrains the fickle consciousness. ||16||

1028

*Note Saraswati is Hindu goddess of knowledge. She is the companion of Brahma.

ਤਹੰਦੂ ਮੂਲੇ ਭੂਲੇ ਅਿੁਟੀ ਜਾਂਹੀ ॥ ਿਾਰਤਦ ਕਤਹਆ ਤਸ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਾਂਹੀ ॥ਅੰਧੇ ਗੁੰ ਗੇ ਅੰਧ ਅੰਧਾਰੁ ॥ਪਾਥਰੁ ਲੇ ਪੂਜਤਹ ਮੁਗਧ ਗਵਾਰ ॥ ਓਤਹ ਜਾ ਆਤਪ ਡੁਬੇ ਤਮੁ ਕਹਾ ਤਰਿਹਾਰੁ ॥੨॥

The Hindus have forgotten the Primal Lord; they are going the wrong way. As Naarad instructed them, they are worshipping idols.

They are blind and mute, the blindest of the blind. The ignorant fools pick up stones and worship them. But when those stones themselves sink, who will carry you across? ||2|

556

ਗੋਤਵੰਦ ਪਰੀਤਤ ਸਿਕਾਤਦਕ ਉਧਾਰੇ ॥Love of the Lord of the Universe saved Sanak and his brother, the sons of Brahma.

1129

ਸਿਕਾਤਦਕ ਿਾਰਦ ਮੁਤਿ ਸੇਿਾ ॥ਤਤਿ ਭੀ ਤਿ ਮਤਹ ਮਿੁ ਿਹੀ ਪੇਿਾ ॥੩॥

Even sages like Sanak and Naarad, and the thousand-headed serpent, did not see the mind within the body. ||3||

330

* Note Shesha is the thousand head servant is meant to be a servant at the door of God.

ਬਰਹਮਾਤਦਕ ਸਿਕਾਤਦਕ ਸਿਕ ਸਿੰਦਿ ਸਿਾਤਿ ਸਿਤਕੁਮਾਰ ਤਤਿ੍ਹ ਕਉ ਮਹਲੁ ਦੁਲਭਾਵਉ ॥੨॥Even Brahma and the sages Sanak, Sanandan, Sanaatan and Sanat Kumar, find it difficult to obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||2|| 401

ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥ Shalok, Third Mehl:ਬਾਬਾਿੀਆ ਕਹਾਿੀਆ ਪੁਤ ਸਪੁਤ ਕਰੇਤਿ ॥ ਤਜ ਸਤਤਗੁਰ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੁ ਮੰਤਿ ਲੈਤਿ ਸੇਈ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇਤਿ ॥ ਜਾਇ ਪੁਛਹੁ ਤਸਤਮਰਤਤ ਸਾਸਤ ਤਬਆਸ ਸੁਕ ਿਾਰਦ ਬਚਿ ਸਭ ਤਸਰਸਤਟ ਕਰੇਤਿ ॥ ਸਚੈ ਲਾਏ ਸਤਚ ਲਗੇ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸਮਾਲੇਤਿ ॥ਿਾਿਕ ਆਏ ਸੇ ਪਰਵਾਿੁ ਭਏ ਤਜ ਸਗਲੇ ਕੁਲ ਤਾਰੇਤਿ ॥੧॥The stories of one's ancestors make the children good children.

They accept what is pleasing to the Will of the True Guru, and act accordingly. Go and consult the Simritees, the Shaastras, the writings of Vyaas, Suk Dayv, Naarad, and all those who preach to the world.

Those, whom the True Lord attaches, are attached to the Truth; they contemplate the True Name forever. O Nanak, their coming into the world is approved; they redeem all their ancestors. ||1||

951

Who was Bidar

• He is called Gurmukh

• Vyaas was his father. His mom was a the servant/ slavve to two queens central to the story of Mahabartha.

• Vyaas was the one who wrote the Vedas and Puranas and Mahabartha

• Vyaas’s son is Sukdev, Raja Janak’s Student

• Vyaas’s great great great grandson is Janmayjaa

• Although low cast birth he was treated with respect by Avatar Krishna

ਿੀਚ ਜਾਤਤ ਹਤਰ ਜਪਤਤਆ ਉਤਮ ਪਦਵੀ ਪਾਇ ॥ਪੂਛਹੁ ਤਬਦਰ ਦਾਸੀ ਸੁਤੈ ਤਕਸਿੁ ਉਤਤਰਆ ਘਤਰ ਤਜਸੁ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

When someone of low social class chants the Lord's Name, he obtains the state of highest dignity.

Go and ask Bidar, the son of a maid; Krishna himself stayed in his house. ||1||

733

ਤਬਦਰੁ ਉਧਾਤਰਓ ਦਾਸਤ ਭਾਇ ॥Bidar was saved by his attitude of humility.

1192

Don’t look for Knowledge with out Namm

ਭਾਈ ਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਤਬਿੁ ਤਗਆਿੁ ਿ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਬਰਹਮੇ ਿਾਰਦੈ ਬੇਦ ਤਬਆਸੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ਤਗਆਿੁ ਤਧਆਿੁ ਧੁਤਿ ਜਾਿੀਐ ਅਕਥੁ ਕਹਾਵੈ ਸੋਇ ॥

O Siblings of Destiny, without the Guru, there is no spiritual wisdom.

Go and ask Brahma, Naarad and Vyaas, the writer of the Vedas. ||1||Pause||

Know that from the vibration of the Word, we obtain spiritual wisdom and meditation. Through it, we speak the Akhat Khata.

59

ਹਤਰ ਹਤਰ ਹਤਰ ਿ ਜਪਤਹ ਰਸਿਾ ॥ हरि हरि हरि न जपहह िसना ॥ਅਵਰ ਸਭ ਤਤਆਤਗ ਬਚਿ ਰਚਿਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ਿਾਿਾ ਤਿਆਿ ਪੁਰਾਿ ਬੇਦ ਤਬਤਧ ਚਉਤੀਸ ਅਿਰ ਮਾਂਹੀ ॥ ਤਬਆਸ ਤਬਚਾਤਰ ਕਤਹਓ ਪਰਮਾਰਥੁ ਰਾਮ ਿਾਮ ਸਤਰ ਿਾਹੀ ॥੨॥ You do not chant with your tongue the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har. Abandon your involvement in all other words. ||1||Pause||

The various Shaastras, Puranaas, and the Vedas of Brahma, are made up of thirty-four letters. After deep contemplation, Vyaas spoke of the supreme objective; there is nothing equal to the Lord's Name. ||2||

658

ਮਿ ਕੇ ਅੰਧੇ ਆਤਪ ਿ ਬੂਝਹੁ ਕਾਤਹ ਬੁਝਾਵਹੁ ਭਾਈ ॥ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾਰਿ ਤਬਤਦਆ ਬੇਚਹੁ ਜਿਮੁ ਅਤਬਰਥਾ ਜਾਈ ॥੩॥ ਿਾਰਦ ਬਚਿ ਤਬਆਸੁ ਕਹਤ ਹੈ ਸੁਕ ਕਉ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਜਾਈ ॥ ਕਤਹ ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮੈ ਰਤਮ ਛੂਟਹੁ ਿਾਤਹ ਤ ਬੂਡੇ ਭਾਈ ॥੪॥੧॥

You are blind in your mind, and do not understand your own self; how can you make others understand, O brother? For the sake of Maya and money, you sell knowledge; your life is totally worthless. ||3||

Naarad and Vyaasa say these things; go and ask Suk Dayv as well. Says Kabeer, chanting the Lord's Name, you shall be saved; otherwise, you shall drown, brother. ||4||1||

1103

ਰਾਜਾ ਜਿਮੇਜਾ ਦੇ ਮਤੀ ਬਰਤਜ ਤਬਆਤਸ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਇਆ ॥ ਤਤਤਿ੍ਹ ਕਤਰ ਜਗ ਅਠਾਰਹ ਘਾਏ ਤਕਰਤੁ ਿ ਚਲੈ ਚਲਾਇਆ ॥੪॥ਗਿਤ ਿ ਗਿੀ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਛਾਿਾ ਬੋਲੀ ਭਾਇ ਸੁਭਾਈ ॥ਜੋ ਤਕਛੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਤੁਧੈ ਸਲਾਹੀਸਭ ਤੇਰੀ ਵਤਡਆਈ ॥੫॥ਗੁਰਮੁਤਿ ਅਤਲਪਤੁ ਲੇਪੁ ਕਦੇ ਿ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਦਾ ਰਹੈ ਸਰਿਾਈ ॥ਮਿਮੁਿੁ ਮੁਗਧੁ ਆਗੈ ਚੇਤੈ ਿਾਹੀ ਦੁਤਿ ਲਾਗੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਈ ॥੬॥ ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਕਰਤਾ ਤਜਤਿ ਏਹ ਰਚਿਾ ਰਚੀਐ ॥ ਹਤਰ ਅਤਭਮਾਿੁ ਿ ਜਾਈ ਜੀਅਹੁ ਅਤਭਮਾਿੇ ਪੈ ਪਚੀਐ ॥੭॥ਭੁਲਿ ਤਵਤਚ ਕੀਆ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ਕਰਤਾ ਆਤਪ ਿ ਭੁਲੈ ॥ ਿਾਿਕ ਸਤਚ ਿਾਤਮ ਤਿਸਤਾਰਾ ਕੋ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਤਦ ਅਘੁਲੈ ॥੮॥੪॥Vyaas taught and warned the king Janmayjaa not to do three things. But he performed the sacred feast and killed eighteen Brahmins; the record of one's past deeds cannot be erased. ||4||

I do not try to calculate the account; I accept the Hukam of God's Command. I speak with intuitive love and respect. No matter what happens, I will praise the Lord. It is all Your Glorious Greatness, O Lord. ||5||

The Gurmukh remains detached; filth never attaches itself to him. He remains forever in God's Sanctuary. The foolish self-willed manmukh does not think of the future; he is overtaken by pain, and then he regrets. ||6||

The Creator who created this creation acts, and causes all to act. O Lord, egotistical pride does not depart from the soul. Falling into egotistical pride, one is ruined. ||7||Everyone makes mistakes; only the Creator does not make mistakes. O Nanak, salvation comes through the True Name. By Guru's Grace, one is released. ||8||4||
