Satguru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj speaks to us in the Sorath Raag today. Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj says:


aagai sukh mayray meetaa paachhay aanad parabh keetaa

O my friends, aagai sukh through the grace of the Lord, parabh keeta Waheguru has blessed me with this daat, with this gift, of what? aagai sukh paachhay aanad ; sukh happiness, peace, blessings in the world hereafter and pachhay in this world, in this life, bliss as well.


parmaysur banat banaa-ee
Waheguru has created all the arrangements, banat banaa-ee to make the perfect timings of all the arrangements; parmaysur – that Waheguru who is highest of high. parmaysurparam isar – parmaysur


fir dolat kathoo naahee
Waheguru is set in such a way that with His Grace I will never dolat, dolat means I will never fall this way or that, to have doubts to waiver. With God’s Grace I shall never waiver.


saachay saahib si-o man maani-aa
Why? Because my man, my mind maani-aa has completely fallen in love with and has completely accepted and surrended to saachey saahib the true Saahib, Lord, Waheguru.


har sarab nirantar jaani-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
And now that I know that Hari is sarab nirantar, is throughout all, is in everything, is within everything. nirantar inside everyone, jaani-aa I have known this, I have seen this, I have experienced this. Rahaa-o


sabh jee-a tayray da-i-aalaa
And now that I know that you are within everyone Waheguru, I know, dai-aalaa O merciful Waheguru, O charitable Waheguru, I know that all the jee, all these souls, all these beings, they are all your forms, they all belong to you.


apnay bhagat karahi partipaalaa
And you look after, partipaalaa, you nourish and completely protect your bhagat, your devotees, the ones who are in love with you. Like Waheguru Ji protected Bhagat Parhilaad from Harnaakash. Like Waheguru Ji protected Bhagat Kabir, like Waheguru Ji protected Bhagat Naam Dev Ji.


achraj tayree vadi-aa-ee
Sat Guru Ji is saying that your vadi-aa-ee, your greatness is just beyond anything that I can think of in my mind. It is beautiful, it is wondrous.


nit naanak naam Dhi-aa-ee
And seeing your beautiful wonder in everywhere, in all this nature and all around me, balaari kudrat vasay-aa by looking around like we say in Rehraas Sahib in Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s shabad. I am a sacrifice to you, you are pervading through all the nature. Seeing your greatness, vadiaa-ee, your glory all around me Naanak, nit, forever and forever meditates upon your Naam, seeing your glories I will remember you.

May Sat Guru Arjan Dev Ji do kirpaa upon us. The shabad is talking about the Grace of Waheguru. And the shabad is talking about that level where it all becomes one, where everything becomes meditation. May Sat Guru Ji do kirpaa upon all of us that we enshrine this Hukamnama in our hearts on this day.


achraj tayree vadi-aa-ee nit naanak naam Dhi-aa-ee
