Some Mahima about Gurmukhs or Sant Janas....
We have defintely heard and read something about Gurmukhs and Sant Janas, but let us see some lines from the Bani to refresh and remind ourselves, of their vital importance for us; as no spiritual progress and improvement is possible without their assistance. Any glory about them are but just feeble words .... Dhan Dhan Sree Guru Nanak Dev Jee Maharaj, in His paviter Bani of Sree Raag says: "Gurmukh Pooraa, Jae Karae, Paaeeai Saach Atho" He says: True Gurmukh is He, who through the perfect action of Nam bhakti, has become one with the Inmeausrable True Lord. ਓਨਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਮੋ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ Ounaa Andhar Naam Nidhhaan Hai Naamo Paragatt Hoe ओना अंदरि नामु निधानु है नामो परगटु होइ The Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is within them, and through the Naam, they are radiant . Then again as seen in the upper line, He says, with Nam Simran, they have gathered so much Nam Dhan( true spiritual wealth) within themselves, that they have revealed or manifested, that Nam within themselves, and are full with the radiance or refulgence of that Nam, which is in essence Wahiguru Himself. And in the following line, He clearly tells us about the signs to be looked for, in our search of such a Gurmukh. ਨਾਉ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਨਾਉ ਮੰਨੀਐ ਅਖੰਡੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਇ Naao Poojeeai Naao Manneeai Akhandd Sadhaa Sach Soe नाउ पूजीऐ नाउ मंनीऐ अखंडु सदा सचु सोइ They worship the Naam, and they believe in the Naam. The True One is forever Intact and Unbroken. He is saying that, such Gurmukhs, Sant Janas, Satgurus, only worship Nam, because Nam is the only Truth, as anything apart from that is "koorr", is "fanah", is "manmat". They will never ever, tell us to eat, drink or wear anything in particular, or go to such or such places, because all that is related to the body, and all that shall be left here, there is no ruhaniyat in it, it does not matter much, who we are, or where we are from... in the eyes of Wahiguru, we are all souls. As the Bani says: Jeeo, Pind, sabh teree raas ....Jeeo, here means souls. It does not say, indians, americans, europeans or sikhs..... it says: jeeo, means souls. And so, if the Bani is so clear and universal, why should we limit it, to only our Punjab. Are we not mean, unjust and petty minded by doing so? We must bear one thing in our minds very clearly: the Bani of our Gurus is universal, and deals only with spirituality, based only on the relation of love and devotion(Nam Bhakti), between a soul, a Gursikh, and Wahiguru Akal Purukh, through the medium or ladder of a beloved Gurmukh, that´s it. This is the essence of Gurmat. That is exactly, what Sree Guru Nanak tells us, in the following line: ਬਿਨੁ ਪਉੜੀ ਗੜਿ ਕਿਉ ਚੜਉ ਗੁਰ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਨ ਨਿਹਾਲ Bin Pourree Garr Kio Charro, Gur Har Dhhiaan Nihaal बिनु पउड़ी गड़ि किउ चड़उ गुर हरि धिआन निहाल How can I climb up to the Fortress without a ladder? By meditating on the Lord, through the Guru, I am blessed and exalted. We can clearly see, in the words of Guru Sahiban, that we alone by ourselves can achieve nothing, it is by using the ladder of NAM, given or supplied by a Gurmukh, that only then, can we reach our Nijh Ghar, Sach Khand. Wah wah Sachay Badshah. |
