The Hukamnamma today is in Jaitsaree Raag. Raag Jaitsaree is the raag of serious longing, serious dependence on the creator Lord. This raag acknowledges how we can not exist without Waheguru Ji. Today�s hukamnamma is the beginning of the jaitsaree vaar, which is completely written by Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj. This is a vaar which is written with saloks. Some vaars are an accumulation of pauris, but this vaar has saloks in it also. The interpretation of some Sikh scholars is that these saloks at the beginning of the vaar are like the beginning of the shabad, and in the pauris, the saloks are explained. The saloks are like the middle of the flower, and the pauris are like petals radiating out from the centre.
Ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad
There is One Universal Creative Being, Satgur parsaad. Who is found through the grace, the blessing, parsaad, of that Guru, who is Sat , who is forever truth.
Salok
Aad pooran maDh pooran ant pooran parmaysureh
Aad is sometimes taken to mean the beginning. It actually means more like the primal, something that existed before the beginning, beyond and predating anything. This concept is very hard to translate into English. Pooran means complete, needs nothing else to complete it. In the beginning, God was complete truth. Madh pooran, in the middle, God is completely whole, completely true, all pervading. Ant Pooran, in the end God will be all pervading. Parmaysureh. Why? Because he is parmaysureh . He is the highest of high, highest of the world. This is a lot like Guru Nanak Dev ji�s words at the beginning of Japji Sahib. Aad Sach, Jugaad Sach, Hai Bhee Sach. Naanak Hosee Bhee Sach.
Simrant sant sarbatar ramnaN naanak aghnaasan jagdeesureh
Simrant means to meditate on. Sant the saints. Sarbatar ramna. The saints meditate upon that Lord who is sarbatar ramna, all pervading. Ramna means pervading. God didn�t just create the earth, he also pervades through the earth. So see how Guru Granth Sahib Ji is talking to us. Today, Guru Ji is bring that forward, saying, Even in the beginning God was there complete. In the middle He is complete; and in the end he will still be there. aanak aghnaasan jagdeesureh. Agh means sins. Naasan means to destroy. Oh Nanak! He is the destroyer of all sins; jagdeesureh, and is the Lord of the whole universe.
Paykhan sunan sunaavano man meh darirh-ee-ai saach
Paykhan. See. Sunan. Hear. Sunaavano. Speak. See, hear, speak. man meh darirh-ee-ai saach. And in your mind, darirh-ee-ai , means to implant, embed that God, who is Satnam, who is forever truth. See that truth in everyone. Speak that truth to everyone. Listen to that truth in everyone, and implant that truth in yourself, of the True Lord. It�s like when Guru Amar Das Ji talks in Anand Sahib, and he talks to his ear. Ay sravnho mayreho, saachai sunanai no pathaa-ay. He talks to each body part. Ay naytr-ho mayreho, har tum maih jot dharee, har bin avar na daykh-ho ko-ee. Oh my eyes! The Lord is the one who made you,. Put this light within you. See that truth within you. Be that truth. Become one with that truth.
Poor rahi-o sarbatar mai naanak har rang raach
Poor rahi-o. He is all pervading. Sarbatar. Everywhere. Oh Nanak! Absorb yourself in the colour of the Lord�s love, har rang, the colour of Hari. Raach means to be absorbed in.
Pouree. The Pauri begins.
Har ayk niranjan gaa-ee-ai sabh antar so-ee.
Sing the praises of har ayk that Lord who is one, forever. Niranjan. The one who is immaculate. Sabh anta so-ee. Sing his praises. Why? Because he is contained within all.
Karan kaaran samrath parabh jo karay so ho-ee
Karan kaaran. The cause of all causes. The creator of all creation. Samrath. The all knowing. Parabh. The Lord. God is the cause of all causes, the almighty. Jo karay so ho-ee. Whatever is willed by God, whatever is in his hukam, that happens.
Khin meh thaap uthaapadaa tis bin nahee ko-ee
Khin meh. In an instant. Khin means instant, microsecond. In an instant he makes and he breaks. Tis bin. Without him, bin, there is no other, nahee ko-ee .
Khand barahmand paataal deep ravi-aa sabh lo-ee
Khand, in all the continents of this world. Arahmand, in all the solar systems, this space. Paataal, under all this ground we walk on. Deep, on all the islands, on all the worlds. Ravia, He creates through these, permeates through these. Sabh lo-ee. Sabh lo-ee is another word for worlds. So God is pervading everywhere around us.
Jis aap bujhaa-ay so bujhsee nirmal jan so-ee
Guru Ji says, in the end, that the only one who can understand this, is the one who is englightened. Jis aap. That person, who the Lord himself enlightens, only that person so bujhsee can have that understanding. Bujhsee means to understand, to thave a realization. Only that person can have that understanding. That person, through their love of God, that person is purified, from within and without. Guru Amar Das Ji says in Anand Sahib, Jee-aho nirmal, baahrho nirmal. Satgur tay karnee kamaanee. Those people are cleansed from within and without, who see God in all.
Aad pooran maDh pooran ant pooran parmaysureh. Simrant sant sarbatar ramnaN naanak aghnaasan jagdeesureh.
