::: MY GURBANI QUOTE :::

[Simran9]

At 564 posts mine says: Maadho Hum Aisay Thoo Aisaa

no clue what it means yet, but usually maadho is monster in punjabi

so maybe it saying I'm a monster... :wub:

ADMIN NOTE: hehehe... bhainjee Maadho is referring to Waaheguroo and it does not mean monster in this case. It is similar to saying "har jee," or "waheguru jee," or "mere gobinda," or "mere raam." I am not sure of the exact meaning - please read the translations on sikhitothemax.com and then post here again with your findings! Also don't just paste the translation, try to discuss your interpretation and your feelings in response to the shabad. -8

okay i haven't had the chance to think about this so for now this post might not be the ideal type of response but here goes...

mere (MY)

mun (MIND)

prem (LOVE)

lago (HIT)

har (GOD'S)

theer (ARROW)

in short this means.... ( i think )

my mind has been hit with the arrow of God's love

so now i'm in love with God... as if Guru jee is cupid and he shot the arrow of love for God into me...

these days it feels like i hit myself with the arrow of laziness... haha..

:wub: :nihungsmile:

_______________________________

This shabad came from God, through the 4th Mahala, Dhan Dhan Guru Ram Das Sahib Jee Maharaaj.

It is on Ang 861 of Dhan Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Jee Maharaaj.

The whole shabad is as follows:

go(n)dd mehalaa 4 ||

GO(N)DD = the Raag

Mehalaa 4 = Shabad is by the 4th Mansion - Guru Ram Das Ji

har dharasan ko maeraa man bahu thapathai jio thrikhaava(n)th bin neer ||1||

HAR = God

DHARSAN = meeting, getting to see, visit

KO = of / to have

MAERAA = my

MUN = mind

BAHU = a lot

THAPTHAI = thirsty / wanting

JIO = just like / as if

THRIKHAAVANTH = the thirsty wanderer

BIN = without

NEER = a drop of water

basic interpretation: my mind is very very thirsty for the blessed vision of my beloved God, like a thirsty traveller in a desert feels without a drop of water

umm... the rest to be continued when i have another 10 minutes

please forgive me (i'll edit this post soon)

maerai man praem lago har theer ||

hamaree baedhan har prabh jaanai maerae man a(n)thar kee peer ||1|| rehaao ||

maerae har preetham kee koee baath sunaavai so bhaaee so maeraa beer ||2||

mil mil sakhee gun kahu maerae prabh kae lae sathigur kee math dhheer ||3||

[Simran9]

lol at the admin who wrote that!

when I read the admin's note, then all of a sudden I remembered this line from:

Page 10, Line 10 -- Guru Arjan Dev

mayray maaDha-o jee satsangat milay so tari-aa.

O my Dear Lord of souls, one who joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is saved.

Why didn't I think of that before :wub: ....

so back to my quote:

sorat(h) mehalaa 5 ||

ham mailae thum oojal karathae ham niragun thoo dhaathaa ||

ham moorakh thum chathur siaanae thoo sarab kalaa kaa giaathaa ||1||

maadhho ham aisae thoo aisaa ||

ham paapee thum paap kha(n)ddan neeko t(h)aakur dhaesaa || rehaao ||

thum sabh saajae saaj nivaajae jeeo pi(n)dd dhae praanaa ||

niraguneeaarae gun nehee koee thum dhaan dhaehu miharavaanaa ||2||

thum karahu bhalaa ham bhalo n jaaneh thum sadhaa sadhaa dhaeiaalaa ||

thum sukhadhaaee purakh bidhhaathae thum raakhahu apunae baalaa ||3||

thum nidhhaan attal sulithaan jeea ja(n)th sabh jaachai ||

kahu naanak ham eihai havaalaa raakh sa(n)than kai paashhai ||4||6||17||

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:

We are filthy, and You are immaculate, O Creator Lord; we are worthless, and You

are the Great Giver.

We are fools, and You are wise and all-knowing. You are the knower of all things. ||1||

O Lord, this is what we are, and this is what You are.

We are sinners, and You are the Destroyer of sins. Your abode is so beautiful, O Lord and Master. ||Pause||

You fashion all, and having fashioned them, You bless them. You bestow upon them soul, body and the breath of life.

We are worthless - we have no virtue at all; please, bless us with Your gift, O Merciful Lordand Master. ||2||

You do good for us, but we do not see it as good; You are kind and compassionate, forever and ever.

You are the Giver of peace, the Primal Lord, the Architect of Destiny; please, save us, Your children! ||3||

You are the treasure, eternal Lord King; all beings and creatures beg of You.

Says Nanak, such is our condition; please, Lord, keep us on the Path of the Saints. ||4||6||17||

So looks like from this shabad it is telling us the difference between mortals and the immortal Akal Purkh. We are foolish idiots who fall into the trap of duality and maya stuff but God is always perfect. When something bad happens to us we wonder why God let's bad things happen but even the bad things are good things. All this is said in one line (my rank quote) and the rest of the shabad goes into some details.

That's pretty cool line for me.

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

I'm glad to see this kind of discussion on the philosophy of Sikhi.

There was a time when some were criticized for interpreting Gurbani, but isn't that what makes it so dynamic? Something that applies to every person at every point in their lives?

A picture is not a thousand words, as a word is a thousand pictures. Gurbani has taught me this, and I see now that Waheguru is the cause and exists as a result of the cause of all things on this planet. Let us continue to search for meanings behind such an extrordinary Immortal Guruji.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Great posts everyone

Thanks for the comments DIAMOND jee

Please kindly discuss your Gurbani quote as well :wub:

[simmal tree]

My Gurbani quote is from Patshahi 10, Mahala 10, Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Sahib jee:

har har jan duee ayk hai(n)

bib bichaar kachh naahi

har = god

har jan = god's servant

duee = both

ayk hai(n) = are one and the same

bib = duality

bichaar = the thought of, the reflection on

Kachh naahi = there is none

There's no need to reflect on the differences between God and God's slave, they have the same light of infinite love and truth, and thus they are one and the same like water in water

bhul chuk maaf karnaa jee

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!
