Please can you help me understand this gurvaak

[Guest]

I am 27 and I work in an IT company. I am a software developer in Java. And lately I have ran out of projects to work on . 

Our boss said an interesting java project will come , in january . He told us to prepare for our certification which we will be giving exam of shortly. However, the fact that he hasn't said anything about incoming project after jan gave me a sinking feeling that I might have to switch jobs because I can't be forever at this one if no new task comes. 

However I wanted to continue with this company. So I prayed to guru sahib and on random opening of angs got the following gurprasaad :

(Some of the lines are obvious, including the first one, however some of them I am unable to relate to my situation )

 

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਰਾਗੁ ਸੂਹੀ ਛੰਤ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਘਰੁ ੪ ॥
Raag Soohee, Chhant, First Mehl, Fourth House:

ਜਿਨਿ ਕੀਆ ਤਿਨਿ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਜਗੁ ਧੰਧੜੈ ਲਾਇਆ ॥
The One who created the world, watches over it; He enjoins the people of the world to their tasks.

ਦਾਨਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਘਟਿ ਚਾਨਣਾ ਤਨਿ ਚੰਦੁ ਦੀਪਾਇਆ ॥
Your gifts, O Lord, illuminate the heart, and the moon casts its light on the body.

ਚੰਦੋ ਦੀਪਾਇਆ ਦਾਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਅੰਧੇਰਾ ਉਠਿ ਗਇਆ ॥
The moon glows, by the Lord's gift, and the darkness of suffering is taken away.

ਗੁਣ ਜੰਞ ਲਾੜੇ ਨਾਲਿ ਸੋਹੈ ਪਰਖਿ ਮੋਹਣੀਐ ਲਇਆ ॥
The marriage party of virtue looks beautiful with the Groom; He chooses His enticing bride with care.

ਵੀਵਾਹੁ ਹੋਆ ਸੋਭ ਸੇਤੀ ਪੰਚ ਸਬਦੀ ਆਇਆ ॥
The wedding is performed with glorious splendor; He has arrived, accompanied by the vibrations of the Panch Shabad, the Five Primal Sounds.

ਜਿਨਿ ਕੀਆ ਤਿਨਿ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਜਗੁ ਧੰਧੜੈ ਲਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
The One who created the world, watches over it; He enjoins the people of the world to their tasks. ||1||

ਹਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਸਾਜਨਾ ਮੀਤਾ ਅਵਰੀਤਾ ॥
I am a sacrifice to my pure friends, the immaculate Saints.

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਜਿਨ ਸਿਉ ਗਾਡਿਆ ਮਨੁ ਲੀਅੜਾ ਦੀਤਾ ॥
This body is attached to them, and we have shared our minds.

ਲੀਆ ਤ ਦੀਆ ਮਾਨੁ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਸਿਉ ਸੇ ਸਜਨ ਕਿਉ ਵੀਸਰਹਿ ॥
We have shared our minds - how could I forget those friends?

ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਦਿਸਿ ਆਇਆ ਹੋਹਿ ਰਲੀਆ ਜੀਅ ਸੇਤੀ ਗਹਿ ਰਹਹਿ ॥
Seeing them brings joy to my heart; I keep them clasped to my soul.

ਸਗਲ ਗੁਣ ਅਵਗਣੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਹਿ ਨੀਤਾ ਨੀਤਾ ॥
They have all virtues and merits, forever and ever; they have no demerits or faults at all.

ਹਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਸਾਜਨਾ ਮੀਤਾ ਅਵਰੀਤਾ ॥੨॥
I am a sacrifice to my pure friends, the immaculate Saints. ||2||

ਗੁਣਾ ਕਾ ਹੋਵੈ ਵਾਸੁਲਾ ਕਢਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਲਈਜੈ ॥
One who has a basket of fragrant virtues, should enjoy its fragrance.

ਜੇ ਗੁਣ ਹੋਵਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਸਾਜਨਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਝ ਕਰੀਜੈ ॥
If my friends have virtues, I will share in them.

ਸਾਝ ਕਰੀਜੈ ਗੁਣਹ ਕੇਰੀ ਛੋਡਿ ਅਵਗਣ ਚਲੀਐ ॥
Let us form a partnership, and share our virtues; let us abandon our faults, and walk on the Path.

ਪਹਿਰੇ ਪਟੰਬਰ ਕਰਿ ਅਡੰਬਰ ਆਪਣਾ ਪਿੜੁ ਮਲੀਐ ॥
Let us wear our virtues like silk clothes; let us decorate ourselves, and enter the arena.

ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਹੀਐ ਭਲਾ ਕਹੀਐ ਝੋਲਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਜੈ ॥
Let us speak of goodness, wherever we go and sit; let us skim off the Ambrosial Nectar, and drink it in.

ਗੁਣਾ ਕਾ ਹੋਵੈ ਵਾਸੁਲਾ ਕਢਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਲਈਜੈ ॥੩॥
One who has a basket of fragrant virtues, should enjoy its fragrance. ||3||

ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇ ਕਿਸੁ ਆਖੀਐ ਹੋਰੁ ਕਰੇ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥
He Himself acts; unto whom should we complain? No one else does anything.

ਆਖਣ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਜਾਈਐ ਜੇ ਭੂਲੜਾ ਹੋਈ ॥
Go ahead and complain to Him, if He makes a mistake.

ਜੇ ਹੋਇ ਭੂਲਾ ਜਾਇ ਕਹੀਐ ਆਪਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਿਉ ਭੁਲੈ ॥
If He makes a mistake, go ahead and complain to Him; but how can the Creator Himself make a mistake?

ਸੁਣੇ ਦੇਖੇ ਬਾਝੁ ਕਹਿਐ ਦਾਨੁ ਅਣਮੰਗਿਆ ਦਿਵੈ ॥
He sees, He hears, and without our asking, without our begging, He gives His gifts.

ਦਾਨੁ ਦੇਇ ਦਾਤਾ ਜਗਿ ਬਿਧਾਤਾ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਈ ॥
The Great Giver, the Architect of the Universe, gives His gifts. O Nanak, He is the True Lord.

ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇ ਕਿਸੁ ਆਖੀਐ ਹੋਰੁ ਕਰੇ ਨ ਕੋਈ ॥੪॥੧॥੪॥
He Himself acts; unto whom should we complain? No one else does anything. ||4||1||4||

I do have access to punjabi translation but i wonder how to interpret this in context of my career. Its all about context veerji. 

[singhbj singh]

What I gather is that Waheguru jeeo have created the world & attached the creation to occupation. Very rare are Gurmukhs who remain immune to ups n downs of Maya. One should seek their company and benefit by sharing qualities. Everything that happens is by God's Will so why n whom to complain whatever he does is as per our Karma and Ardas. So trust God n except what happens as good.

Wow, i always get this hukamnama when i ask guruji about my future. I thought it was just saying that I will have a life with a job and marriage. I was bummed out, cuz i wanted to go the brahmchari route.

And if i were u, i would take the last 4 pangtis to heart and stop worrying. God does not make mistakes and he gives the right gifts. Also make sure to find good friends with good virtues. The best place to do that is a rainsabai. Im not akj, but i attended one last week, and the atmosphere, the sangat, it just all seeps into u and cleans u out and ur left with chardi kala and preet. 

U said ur in india, theres tons of rainsabais there, go to akj.org to see schedule

Vahiguroo Jio is in control, we just keep up with bhagti, and maya as secondary...
