We are all here for a celebration; Guru Nanak Dev Ji revealed that celebration. In the words of
current Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Buddhists all over the world: Guru
Nanak’s message of Oneness and equality is a source of greatest inspiration for people around the
world.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji says, it is all Him. What a play! What a game! Whatever you call
it, but it is beyond the grasp of human intelligence. With His grace, it can be experienced but cannot be
understood or make anyone understand it intellectually. We are here to celebrate this oneness - that
it’s all Him! He is pretending it’s not Him. It’s all Him but He says no, no, I am Manmeet
Singh, I am Richard Good, I am Nancy, I am Dale - this is not God, you are mistaken. This is the
celebration! Let’s please open our hearts to this celebration so that we can experience even the
tiniest bit of the Truth.
Please become focused.
Iqbal Sahib, the celebrated poet and mystic of Islam, says:
ਫਿਰ ਉਠੀ ਆਖ਼ਿਰ
ਸਦਾ ਤੌਹੀਦ ਕੀ ਪੰਜਾਬ
ਸੇ fir uthee
aakhir sadaa….tauheed kee punjab
say sadaa means
voice. tauheed means
oneness
He says, at last, a much awaited sound appeared from the land of Punjab in India,
proclaiming to the world that this is all Him! After all, somebody revealed the ultimate truth.
ਹਿੰਦ ਕੋ ਇਕ
ਮਰਦੇ ਕਾਮਿਲ ਨੇ
ਜਗਾਇਆ ਖ਼ਾਬ ਸੇ hind ko ik
marday kaamil nay jagaa-i-aa khaab say From the land of Punjab, this much awaited sound said loudly that this is all One.
That perfect being has awakened the whole world from their dreams. How beautiful!
These are not the words of some religious dogma. Guru Nanak Dev Ji traveled to Mecca
- the most sacred place of Muslims, Vatican City - the most sacred place of Christians, Bodh Gaya - the most
sacred place of Buddhists, Benaras - the most sacred place of Hindus. He embraced all of them so lovingly
and then so lovingly imparted this truth to them, and everybody bowed to Him. He traveled to Mecca in 1511
and visited Vatican City in 1518; the Pope’s diary from that time states this. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, in
His Fifth appearance says in Gurbani:
ਬਲਿਓ ਚਰਾਗੁ
ਅੰਧੵਾਰ ਮਹਿ ਸਭ ਕਲਿ
ਉਧਰੀ ਇਕ ਨਾਮ ਧਰਮ bali-o charaag anDh-yaar meh
sabh kal uDhree ik naam Dharam.
In 1469, that body was born who was named Nanak; in that body burnt the Divine lamp.
He Himself says that in Gurbani.
The Pope of that time, the highest Peers of that
time - Mecca, Medina, Body-Gaya, all of them bowed to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak Dev Ji refreshed those
paths by telling them; by telling the Muslims that O my brethren, you are calling yourself Muslims. Only
those who have a heart of wax, only they have the right to be called Muslims. He says, you call yourself
Muslim; do you have the tender heart to be called a Muslim?
ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੁ ਮੋਮ
ਦਿਲਿ ਹੋਵੈ ॥ musalmaan mom dil hovai.
He says Muslims have to be so tender-hearted. Are you a real Muslim? What an
awakening question!
ਬਲਿਓ ਚਰਾਗੁ
ਅੰਧੵਾਰ ਮਹਿ ਸਭ ਕਲਿ
ਉਧਰੀ ਇਕ ਨਾਮ ਧਰਮ bali-o charaag anDh-yaar meh
sabh kal uDhree ik naam Dharam.

He Himself says that in 1469 that child was born; people called Him Nanak. The
meaning of Nanak is “the only one”. A Pandit (scholar) was called to read the lines on the
child’s hands, forehead, and feet. After doing much research, he said nobody has ever been born like
this child. These things do not matter because the Pandit said it. But his name, Nanak, the only one.
Naa (not) + Nak (anayk - many) -
“not many” or “the only one”.
pargat sagal har bhavan
meh
He appeared in this age of machinery and brought a magical word. With that magical
word, in everybody’s house, within everyone the Divine appears. What a word! ਬਲਿਓ ਚਰਾਗੁ
ਅੰਧੵਾਰ ਮਹਿ bali-o charaag anDh-yaar

The Divine lamp lit up in that body.
Then He Himself in His 10th appearance says:
ਕਿ ਹੁਸਨਲ ਚਰਾਗ਼
ਹੈਂ ॥ ki husnal charaag haiN You know what that Divine lamp I am talking about. He says that the Divine lamp is
the lamp of unique beauty. How beautiful!

In 1469, in Talwandi, Nankaana Sahib where Guru Nanak Dev Ji appeared, the Divine sun of ishq
arose. In 1469, the sun of ishq arose in the skies and his first light, like the rising sun’s light,
was a beautiful pinkish color. Pink color stands for ishq, true love - pink and green. God has covered all
his earth with greenery. Mother Earth is wearing green - that is the sign of love.

Before reaching the earth, the sun’s rays embrace the wind in the skies. The
same way, the sun of ishq’s pinkish light embraced the wind and gave it a message. We will see what
the message was.
And what message did he put in the lap of the winds?
He said: go to all of His creation, all of mankind, and tell them that only those
whose hearts are governed by humility, only they can become peaceful and loving, and others will burn. O
wind, tell everyone that the governance of humility has arrived.
Tell the whole world that only that person will become the master of their mind if
they are humble; if humility is governing them, not their egoistic mind. Tell them this secret.
He told the winds, not just today, but for all the coming ages, keep conveying this
message to every heart that it's humility that makes us peaceful, loving; which introduces us to our
true self, which reveals to us who we are and what is this all around us.

Throughout the ages, keep distributing the sweets of this very blessed truth that
humility is the secret of peace and love. He told the wind that go into every house and distribute sweets,
the good news that a new government has arrived - whoever's heart is governed by the Divine, only they
will become peaceful.
Guru Nanak established the kingdom of humility forever. It was not any person.
All non-Sikhs have said one thing, that the most unfortunate thing that has happened
to humanity, is that Sikhs started claiming that Guru Nanak was their own, and what a sin they did! He said
there is no Hindu, no Muslim, no Christian; He took us above all the religions. He said you are not a Hindu,
you are not a Christian, you are not a Muslim, you are not a Sikh, you are He Himself. Still we want to fall
down and say I am a Muslim, I am a Hindu, I am a Sikh. Why? Because it takes a lot of courage to break the
shackles.

Bhai Gurdas Ji says:
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ
ਨਾਨਕੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਆ
ਮਿਟੀ ਧੁੰਧੁ ਜਗਿ
ਚਾਨਣੁ ਹੋਆ। satgur naanak pragati-aa mitee
DhuNDh jag chaanan ho-aa
Guru Nanak’s emergence cleared the mist and the Divine light spread all around.
This light took everybody out of the surroundings of their respective religions and asked them to come out
and recognize that we all are one; let us celebrate this.
ਜਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਸੂਰਜੁ
ਨਿਕਲਿਆ ਤਾਰੇ ਛਪਿ
ਅੰਧੇਰੁ ਪਲੋਆ। jioN kar sooraj nikali-aa
taaray chhapay aNDhayr palo-aa
Emergence of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the sun coming out, the darkness disappears,
and even the stars hide. But why the stars? They give out light so why do they hide? Because, earlier what
was said about the Divine was like little stars. Now the sun has risen, so the stars also hide.
ਜਿਥੇ ਬਾਬਾ
ਪੈਰੁ ਧਰਿ ਪੂਜਾ ਆਸਣੁ
ਥਾਪਣਿ ਸੋਆ। jithay baabaa pair Dharay
poojaa aasan thaapan so-aa Wherever Guru Nanak Dev Ji put His feet, people from all religions started worshiping
that place; that’s where He stood, this dirt has the honor to be touched by His feet. Irrespective of
religions; this was a miracle. This is how God has created us - not to become locked up in our respective
religions. All prophets talked about the truth, there is no conflict there. It is only a sound which is
telling them that we are not separate from each other; we are all One, that’s all!
Wherever He placed His feet people from all walks, all religions started worshiping
Him.
ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ
ਧਰਮਸਾਲ ਹੋਵੈ
ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਸਦਾ
ਵਿਸੋਆ। ghar ghar aNdar Dharamsaal
hovai keertan sadaa viso-aa
If He met a Hindu, he said, you are a Hindu, I bow down to you because you are the
living temple of God. And you, you are a Muslim, I bow down to you because you are the living mosque of
Allah. And you are a Jew, I bow down to you because you are a living synagogue of God. You are a Christian,
I bow down to you because you are a living church of Christ. How can anybody fight with Him? This was Him,
if we can see Him.
Dhaarnaa:
ਵੇਖ ਨੀ
ਮਾਏ….ਮੇਰੀਏ….ਇਹ

My eye has been sleeping and remaining in dreams for ages and some sun is knocking at
the closed door of my eye and asking to open the door.
ਕੌਣ ਦੁਨੀ
ਜਗਾਵਣ… ਆਇਆ…..ਨੀ
ਕਿਸ ਵੇਖ ਨਾ ਹੋਇਆ….
ਦੁੱਖ koun dunee jagaavan…. aa-i-aa…..nee kis vaykh naa ho-i-aa…. dukh
Who is he? Who is it? Who has arrived to wake me up, that He could not tolerate the
miserable life I was living; He could not tolerate my pain. He has arrived to wake me up so that I can
celebrate myself instead of feeling pity at myself.
Who is it, who doesn’t stop knocking at my doorstep; who is asking me to wake
up? I opened my eyes for a moment and I heard Him saying - do you know who you are? You are the Creator
Himself; you are the True King yourself. He says in Gurbani, that there was a king who went to sleep while
sitting on his throne, and in the dream he became a beggar who was begging at every doorstep. He says that
was not a story, that is you! You are a true king who is sleeping on your throne, and have become a beggar
in your dream; look at your state - pitiful! Beggars are pitiful. You are not a beggar, you are the owner of
this universe. Me? No, there is no me. No me! But you said I went to sleep. Only the falsehood can go to sleep. Truth can never go to sleep. Right?
In the coming days, we are going to celebrate this opportunity to recognize
ourselves. All of us, we must please become the ambassadors of truth, ambassadors of peace, ambassadors of
ishq, and take others to join us as ambassadors of ishq as well. Each and every one of us is something so
infinitely big.
So blessed days! Maharaj Ji has blessed me with the so beautiful dust of the feet of sangat from
29 countries and 13 states of India, making it 30 countries. Dust from those countries - so beautiful! With
all the humility I can gather in me and ishq, I bow down to each and every one of us for blessing me with
the dust of your feet. I am forever grateful
