I have been gone a long time...a lot of stuff kept me busy...hopefully this time Guru Sahib keeps me on track...I will be doing literal translation...If I go off on tangent...Please forgive me...also I will make sure to point what is not actually written in the book and are my views... I will use different parantheses... I will put my worthless views in ( ) and meanings of certain words in { }...
ੴ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹ॥
Not going into any deep meanings... One omnipresent supreme force... foremost wondrous lord to whom victory belongs...
Gurmukh Sikhya, Part 1
Brief Letters
Worldly Ties
Events in life, negative or positive are the result of karma, will of god and sometimes both, the people who are on the path of supreme truth, use every such event to learn something and move forward (its heightens there understanding of the world and spirituality), because they accept what's happening and surrender to it and that empowers there sidak {sharda = respect, offering...vishvaas = trust...sachhayee = truthfulness...dil dee safayee = a pure heart}, if they offer an ardaas {asha = hope... prarthna = prayer... bayntee = request... muraad mangan dee kiriya = the etiquette of asking or plea} in these circumstances then they come closer to Vaheguroo (The wondrous one, that has the power to bring one from the darkness of life to the light of knowledge).
Sometimes these worldly ties have something good to offer (a lesson), which only presents itself to some. Lovers of the naam (literal meaning being...in Gurbanee...naam is mostly referred to as name of the lord or the will of god... something that offers an understanding...tells you the meaning of something... something that is given to you by Panj Piaray in exchange for offering your head (literally your head and also your own thinking) to the Guru) remains attached to Vaheguroo naam, doesn't let events of his life pull him away from it. Maintaining this continuum between you and God is the cure for everything.
