ੴ ਸਤਿਨਾਮ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ॥

ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ। ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ॥
Just now, my dear sons were singing His beautiful utterances with string instruments and those who were present, must have felt that those vibrations were entering into us. We might have thought that we were feeling the vibrations which were coming out of the stringed music, but no; every vibration in the universe with which the Divine is vibrating Himself in all His creation, is within the human body. This is the uniqueness; unimaginable blessing! When we hear those vibrations arising from those stringed musical instruments then the same vibrations from within us resonate with them and take us into another world. So, we should be very awake when we hear Keertan. The vibrations of His utterances ride on the vibrations of the stringed music and hit us. What a beautiful arrangement He has made for His children!
ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਰਾਗ ਸੁਰੰਗੜੇ ਆਲਾਪਤ ਸਭ ਤਿਖ ਜਾਇ ॥
Dhan so raag surangrhay aalaapat sabh tikh jaa-ay.
Those who hear (suni-ai), instantly their insides will become peaceful.
suni-ai saraa gunaa kay gaah.
suni-ai saykh peer paatisaah.
suni-ai anDhay paavahi raahu.
suni-ai haath hovai asgaahu.
Those who come to know the art of hearing (suni-ai), God has come in their hands.
Ji, you may have seen upstairs sevadars talking about Balio Chiraag. With His grace, we are going to celebrate Balio Chirag in the whole world. The pamphlet says: Balio Chiraag: Guru Arjan Dev Ji says when Guru Nanak Dev Ji descended on Earth, the whole world was blessed with Divine light burning so beautifully in order to show the path to everyone. This descendence of Divine light on Earth is the true celebration. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings are for all of humanity. Through the Balio Chiraag initiative, we intend to periodically share His teachings with you.
In His fifth appearance, Maharaj Ji says that when Sahib Sri Guru Nanaj Dev Ji Maharaj descended on this earth, a Divine lamp was lit in the darkness.
ਬਲਿਓ ਚਰਾਗੁ ਅੰਧ੍ਯ੍ਯਾਰ ਮਹਿ ਸਭ ਕਲਿ ਉਧਰੀ ਇਕ ਨਾਮ ਧਰਮ ॥
bali-o charaag anDh-yaar meh sabh kal uDhree ik naam Dharam.
ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਸਗਲ ਹਰਿ ਭਵਨ ਮਹਿ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ॥
pargat sagal har bhavan meh jan naanak gur paarbarahm.
This Divine Lamp brought with it a ship to ferry everyone across; brought such a precious thing with which the Divine could be revealed in everyone.
In His fifth appearance, He is saying that the first time when the Divine light descended; He is telling us that it was the Divine light. Guru Nanak is a form (jot saroop) of the Divine light. Yesterday, my dear daughter Sumaira said that we are hiding such an infinite name from the world.
This year, Gurpurab is on November 27. On this day in 1469, the Divine light descended on Earth to illuminate the humanity. For the entire month of November, we are going to light up our homes, offices, businesses, and we must take a day off on Gurpurab so everyone knows it is a big day.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
har iksai naal mai dostee har iksai naal mai rang.
My friendship is only with the Divine. I am in ishq with my Beloved Divine only.
Maharaj Ji says:
logan si-o mayraa thaathaa baagaa.
He says I just say hi bye to people. I am in ishq with my Beloved. He is my only company.
Meditation at 20:35: While singing this, please keep feeling the Divine all the time.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
har iksai naal mai dostee har iksai naal mai rang.
All of our insides should become contracted and once they are released, they would become relaxed enough so that the Divine can flow in us.
We should try to sit as straight as possible because if we are tilted or if the spine is not straight, we are restricting the Divine to flow freely within us.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਜਣੋ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਸੰਗੁ ॥
har iko mayraa sajno har iksai naal mai sang.
He is the only one who is my intimate friend and He is the only one who is my companionship. He is the only one with whom I have friendship. He is the only one with whom I have ishq. Please feel the soul of these words; the emotion filled in these words.
Please sing with your entire strength please.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਜਣੋ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਸੰਗੁ ॥
har iko mayraa sajno har iksai naal mai sang.
With all our might please while sitting as straight as possible. Let our throat open up as we say sajno and then the sound of saNg should rise above our heads.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਜਣੋ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਸੰਗੁ ॥
har iko mayraa sajno har iksai naal mai sang.
Please feel the Divine’s presence in the form of vibrations while keeping the word Waheguru in our consciousness. We must not look at it like some vibrations but the full knowledge and fear that this is God Himself.
ਭੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਨਾਮਿ ਨ ਲਗੈ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥
bhai bin bhagat na hova-ee naam na lagai pi-aar.
If there is no fear, then He says, okay you are already fearless.
Oh my Beloved, how high, how great You are that you come even to people like me. You are the creator, owner, Lord of this universe and I am just a straw in the street.
Meditation ends at 38:50
The Divine marries us but what is the point of marriage? That now we are going to stay together and while we stay with Him, He carves a new consciousness, new understanding.
ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਮਨਿ ਬੁਧਿ ॥
tithai gharhee-ai surat mat man buDh.
ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਾ ਸਿਧਾ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ॥੩੬॥
tithai gharhee-ai suraa siDhaa kee suDh. ||36||
In order to be reborn, we must start dwelling with Him all the time. It’s not something to do actually; it’s the easiest thing, it’s to remain aware about our insides, that’s it! Through our companionship, He is going to transform us.
Dhaarnaa: (at 40:26)
ਘਰ ਸੱਜਣਾ ਨੇ ਆਉਣਾ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਏ….ਮੈਂ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਸਵਾਰਦੀ ਫਿਰਾਂ
ghar sajanaa nay aa-ounaa mayree maa-ay…..maiN ghar noo savaardee firaaN
Oh, my mother, my Beloved is coming to dwell with me. I am decorating my house.
Dhaarnaa (end)
There is a note from a daughter who says that Baba Ji, with His grace, He has made me walk the path to His home. I cannot thank Him in any way. Such a mercy of His! This is such a huge blessing for me; all the time my heart keeps singing that I want to meet my Beloved, I want to become a prayer; a prayer that would reach His court. I want to become a song; the song in which He would be present too. I want to meet Him in this lifetime, I must!
She writes:
ਜਿਹੜੀ ਪੀੜ ਮਿਲਾਵੇ ਸੱਜਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ….ਉਹੀ ਪੀੜ ਬਣਨ ਨੂੰ….ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ
jihrhee peerh milaavay sajanaaN noo….ohee peerh banan noo…jee kardaa
I want to become the pain; the pain that makes me meet my Beloved.
ਜਿਹੜੀ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਤੇਰੇ…..ਉਹੀ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਬਣਨ ਨੂੰ……ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ
jihrhee ardaas pahunchay darbaar tayray…..ohee ardaas banan noo….. jee kardaa
I want to become a prayer; a prayer that would reach His court.
ਜਿਹੜੇ ਗੀਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੂੰ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਏਂ….ਉਹੀ ਗੀਤ ਬਣਨ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ
jihrhay geetaaN vich tooN vasdaa ayN…ohee geet banan noo jee kardaa
I want to become a song; the song in which He would be present too.
ਤੂੰ ਆ ਮਿੱਲ ਸੱਜਣਾ ਇਸ ਜਨਮੇ…ਇਸ ਜਨਮ ਚ ਮਿਲਣ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ
tooN aa mil sajanaa is janamay….is janam ch milan noo jee kardaa
Please come and meet me; I want to meet You in this lifetime, I must!
Baba Ji, sometimes I become so frightened of worldly thoughts.
Dear daughter, I am so so proud of you.
Ji, when we feel the Divine, the Celestial Music and Divine light are present at the same point. Maharaj Ji says:
sahj gufaa meh aasan baaDhi-aa.
He says, your insides are a cave. Make sure the cave is utterly still and peaceful. Then, become rooted at one point in the cave; you would feel the Divine light and hear the Celestial Music.
jot saroop anaahad vaaji-aa.
Please feel as you sing this.
Please feel the Divine light within and without; it’s not separate from us. Don’t try to look at it as something away from you. Also, keep hearing the Celestial Music.
Please stay there as you listen to this.
In 1847, a boy was born in Ohio, USA. The family was very poor and they moved to Michigan. They sent their son, named Tom, to a school. Few months later, Tom brought home a note in his hand. His mother read the note; it said: Please take your son out of this school. We cannot keep him. He is too stupid to learn anything. The mother read the note and became a little furious and she said: My Tom is too stupid to learn anything! No! I have faith in him, I have faith in God, now I am going to teach him. Then she taught him at home and became his tutor. This boy, Tom, when he died in 1931 at the age of 84, the whole of America turned their lights off for two full minutes as a tribute to him. This Tom is the person who is known as Thomas Edison. He invented the light bulb, the cinema, the record player; in all he had more than 1000 patents to his name. This was the boy about whom the teachers said he was too stupid to learn anything. So, please we must never become discouraged or stop having faith in us. God doesn’t turn his face away; He has not; He will not, and who knows this child that you feel a little sad about, maybe he is going to bring you the most happiness.
Dhaarnaa:
ਅੱਧੀ ਰਾਤੀ ਖਾਬਾਂ ਵਿਚ… ਆਣ ਕੇ ਜਗਾਵੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ…. ਸਮਝ ਨਾ ਆਵੇ…. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੌਣ ਨੀ
aDhee raatee khaabaaN vich…. aankay jagaavay jirhaa….. samajh naa aavay mainoo kaun nee
ਫਰਸ਼ ਤੇ ਬੈਠਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ…..ਝੂਟੇ ਦੇਵੇ ਅਰਸ਼ਾਂ ਦੇ….ਦੇਸ….. ਨੂਰ ਦੇ ਲਿਜਾਵੇ ਸਾਨੁੰ ਕੌਣ ਨੀ
farsh tay baithi-aaN noo…..jhootay dayvay arshaaN day……days……noor day lijaavay saanoo koun nee
While I am sitting on the floor, He takes me up in the skies and gives me a lullaby. He takes me into the land of Divine light. I wonder who is He!
Please sing while synchronizing with the insides.
