ੴ ਸਤਿਨਾਮ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ॥
॥ ਜਪੁ॥
ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ। ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ॥
Let us all please close our eyes so that we can understand about the game of, game of life. Close your eyes and bring all of our consciousness at the Hirda, heart area.
The question was, how is our journey beyond this life determined by God. On what basis does He make decisions about our journey after this life? This is very interesting and very important for everybody; even the youngsters, beta if you know this at your age, you can have a wonderful life knowing the secret of the journey while in this body, and beyond that. Maharaj Ji says:
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਕੀਜੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
gurmukh kirpaa karay bhagat keejai bin gur bhagat na ho-ee
Maharaj Ji tells us there are two ways you can spend this life; either by having a Guru and to live life according to his instructions, or live your life as your mind directs it. And he shows us what happens at the end in both cases; what happens on the last breath of those who were walking the path of the spirit as well as those who were walking the path of the mind.
Only those who have a Guru walk the path of meditation; the directions of living life comes to them from inside. Guru talks to us and that is the talk of the Divine who dwells within us.
ਸਤਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਗੁਣ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਤਿਸ ਦੀ ਕੀਮ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥
satgur sayv gun niDhaan paa-i-aa tis dee keem na paa-ee
Maharaj Ji says if you love your Guru then you would take instructions from Him on how to live human life. Otherwise, we don’t know how to live human life; we only imitate others in the world without a Guru. We only become one of the crowd, going in the same direction, following the crowd, not knowing where we are going to end up. And if you love your Guru, then He is going to tell you how to meditate, and how to recognize the Divine within; what you would feel when you focus at the hirdaa or at the forehead or at the navel point or at the root of the spine or at the pubic bone. Guru will tell you, you should feel this there, and once you recognize God within then you would become priceless; nobody would be able to put a price on you. You can put a price on a worldly person - this person is worth half million euros, this person is worth million euros. But you would become priceless!
ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਦਾਤਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਹੈ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਈ ॥
har jee-o daataa bhagat vachhal hai kar kirpaa man vasaa-ee
When we feel the Divine within He blesses us with ishq, and with that ishq we start doing ishq with God. That is a gift from Him; we did not have it before. Once you start having ishq with the Divine, then He never leaves you. What would happen if He never leaves you? Then how would your life end and how would be the next journey? Or even if He does not dwell within you continuously, but you have a Guru and you have been doing meditation, then what would be your next journey?
Let us please feel the Divine at the heart area, fully focused and while keeping the sacred word Waheguru in your consciousness.
When we start feeling God within, we start waking up from a very deep dream. We start recognizing that the life I was living was not a life. I was living a dream, I was seeing a dream.
Dhaarnaa:
ਏ ਕੌਣ ਨੀ ਸਾਡੀ….. ਗਲੀਏ ਆਇਆ, ਜਿਸ ਮੈਂ ਆਣ ਜਗਾਈ
ay kaun nee saadee….. galee-ay aa-i-aa, jis maiN aan jagaa-ee
Oh my mother who has come in our street. Somebody has woken me up, who has come. Somebody has come, somebody is there in my street. Who is he?
ਉੱਠੀਂ ਨੀਂ ਮਾਏ….ਲੰਘ ਨਾ ਜਾਵੇ, ਅੰਚਲ ਫੜ ਠਹਿਰਾਈਂ
uthee nee maa-ay…..langh naa jaavay, anchal farh thahiraa-eeN
Oh my mother, please catch hold of his robes and make him stay.
Maharaj Ji says that rare ones come to know who are their true friends in this world. Who truly wants the best for you, who is truly concerned about not only this life but the journey beyond this life too.
ko-ee jaanai kavan eehaa jag meet
Maharaj Ji says those who are your friends cannot be your friends in the world.
ਜਿਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਸੋਈ ਬਿਧਿ ਬੂਝੈ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਰੀਤਿ ॥
jis ho-ay kirpaal so-ee biDh boojhai taa kee nirmal reet
He says, when God becomes merciful to you, only then God discloses the secret of what would be your next life; the laws on the basis on which He decides your journey beyond this life.
taa kee nirmal reet
Whomsoever He becomes merciful to and wants to disclose that secret, then that person’s life changes. Their diet changes; their food is gentle, vegetarian food, gentle on the insides. Their clothes are simple, humble, and their consciousness dwells at a holy place within, with the Divine.
taa kee nirmal reet
Then your food would be pure, your eyes would be pure, your thoughts would be pure, your deeds would be pure, your walk would be pure, and humble.
ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਬਨਿਤਾ ਸੁਤ ਬੰਧਪ ਇਸਟ ਮੀਤ ਅਰੁ ਭਾਈ ॥
maat pitaa banitaa sut banDhap isat meet ar bhaa-ee
ਪੂਰਬ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਮਿਲੇ ਸੰਜੋਗੀ ਅੰਤਹਿ ਕੋ ਨ ਸਹਾਈ ॥੧॥
poorab janam kay milay sanjogee anteh ko na sahaa-ee
Please understand this. Maharaj Ji says parents, spouse, brother sister, friends, relatives, you have some unfinished business past karma (lain dain) and you have come again with them then your life was worldly. If your life is in your family, your properties, children, brother, sister, friends, relatives, if your roots are in this then your past life was worldly. If your roots are not in them then your life is different.
anteh ko na sahaa-ee
Maharaj Ji says that your parents, brothers, sisters, children, spouse, friends, all those, they may sacrifice their lives for you but at your last moment, at the last breath, none of them would be capable of directing your future journey to be a blissful journey. No, none of them, nobody would have the power. How beautiful! We must understand that if we start living our life out of this truth, then we would find that we become so peaceful, carefree, stress free. We would know the secret.
ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੇ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਈਐ ॥
har kay sant pari-a pareetam parabh kay taa kai har har gaa-ee-ai
Please this must be very clear to us. Hanji. Those who come to the holy congregation, and truly come, leave everything behind, God loves them. Go and sing God’s glory in their company. Then what happens:
ਨਾਨਕ ਈਹਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਆਗੈ ਮੁਖ ਊਜਲ ਸੰਗਿ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੈ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
naanak eehaa sukh aagai mukh oojal sang santan kai paa-ee-ai
He says if you dwell there consciously; if your consciousness remains in the holy congregation, then this life is going to be so blissful, and when you leave this body you would leave as Divine light. But this miracle happens in the holy congregation. We would see what is the role of the last breath we take.
There is a letter that this soul wrote from Toronto, Canada. She writes that even though I am with the Divine within, I am blessed, still I feel separated because I’m not in the holy congregation. Even though I am blessed, still I feel somewhat unblessed. Even though there is laughter in me but there are tears in me too because I’m not in the holy congregation. This person is saying out loud that the true bliss, the true, the true life is in the holy congregation. Once one comes to know the value of the holy congregation. God brought that sangat here from Toronto just for two diwans, this evening and tomorrow. They arrived this morning. She wrote a dhaarnaa; let’s all sing together with love.
Dhaarnaa:
ਹੋਊ ਰੰਗ ਰੱਤਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਹਾਲ ਵੇ, ਸਤਸੰਗ ਵਸੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਹਾਲ ਵੇ
ho-oo raNg ratee-aaN daa haal vay, satsaNg vasee-aaN daa haal vay
Oh my dear friend, those who are imbued with his love, only they are blissful, happy. Those who dwell in the holy congregation, only they are blissful, happy. But I’m not in the holy congregation, I’m not that fortunate to say that I’m truly blissful and happy. Hanji.
ਸਾਡਾ ਕਾਹਦਾ ਹਾਲ ਵੇ, ਸਾਡਾ ਕਾਹਦਾ ਹਾਲ ਵੇ
saadaa kaaHdaa haal vay, saadaa kaaHdaa haal vay
Dhaarnaa (end)
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਕੀਜੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
gurmukh kirpaa karay bhagat keejai bin gur bhagat na ho-ee
ਆਪੈ ਆਪੁ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਬੂਝੈ ਤਾ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋਈ ॥
aapai aap milaa-ay boojhai taa nirmal hovai so-ee
Maharaj Ji says that the people who lived a worldly life are sent into a different queue for their future journey. Those who had a Guru, and the Guru made them realize their true self, they go to a different place to hear the verdict for their future journey.
In the beginning, the Celestial Music does not seem big, just saaN, saaN, saaN, but as we start becoming mesmerized by it, and come to know it’s beauty, it’s glory, it’s divinely pull, that it is a lab of ishq. It has the capacity to dissolve us into the unknown, into the Divine. So we should please make it a habit to keep it with us all the time.
Dhaarnaa:
ਦੱਸਿਉ ਵੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦੇ ਜਾਇਉਂ, ਕੀਹਨੇ ਅੰਦਰੀਂ ਅਲੱਖ ਜਗਾਇਆ
dasi-o vay satgur day jaa-i-oN, keeHnay andareeN alakh jagaa-i-aa
ਕਦੇ ਉਹ ਨੱਚਦਾ ਨੱਚਦਾ ਛੂਹੇ, ਤੇ ਕਦੇ ਰੂਪ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਬਣਾਇਆ
kaday oh nachadaa nachadaa chhoohay, tay kaday roop saNgeet banaa-i-aa
Sometimes God plays with me, within, and then He is also a song; song of ishq, which is being sung continuously throughout the universe, known as the Celestial Music.
ਰਾਗ ਰਤਨ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੇ ਜੀਕਣ, ਘਰ ਸਾਡੇ ਗਾਉਣ ਬਿਠਾਇਆ
raag ratan parivaar nay jeekan, ghar saaday gaoun bithaa-i-aa
He is playing the Celestial Music in precious raagaas, beautiful melodies and rhythms, within this house, within me.
ਕੌਤਕ ਵੇਖੋ ਇਹ ਕਿਜੇਹਾ, ਕਾਇਆਨਾਤੀ ਛਹਿਬਰ ਲਾਇਆ
koutak vaykho aih kijayhaa, kaa-i-aanaatee chhahibar
Oh my friends, look at the miracle, this Celestial Music, which in the beginning sounds like a drizzling of rain, a symphony, it is happening throughout the universe.
ਉਹਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਅਮਾਨਤ ਮੇਰੀ, ਨੀ ਉਹਨੇ ਸ਼ਾਰੇ ਨਾਲ
oHday kol amaanat mayree, nee oHnay shaaray naal samjhaa-i-aa
Today my Beloved gestured to me that my true self dwells with Him, and He said, come sometime and receive your true self that is with me.
