Truth About Dasam Granth Sahib

It’s the Bani of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib which gives the Khalsa Panth it’s zeal to fight for Dharam Yudh.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji collected together the works of the Dasam Granth in Anandpur Sahib.

On the 5th December 1705 AD – Guru Ji left Anandpur Sahib the Dasam Granth was lost to the Sarsa River.

Bhai Mani Singh – Head Granthi Sri Darbar Sahib – made great endeavours to collect together the Banis of Sri Dasam Granth.

Bhai Mani Singh prepared the Dasam Bir – historic birs from this period still survive – in Moti Bagh and Sangrur

Picture of Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji, he was cut limb by limb, but refused to alter his faith. There was no sign of pain shown, instead he kept reciting Gurbani. (Some Shallow Sikhs of today think they know better then him, even dough they cry with a little paper cut)

Importance of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib

• There is NO ‘Ardas’ without Sri Dasam Granth Sahib

• There is NO ‘Nitnem’ without Sri Dasam Granth Sahib

• There is NO ‘Khande Da Amrit’ without Sri Dasam Granth.

• Conclusion – There is NO ‘Khalsa Panth’ without Sri Dasam Granth.

Bhai Desa Singh, known as "Rahitnamiya" (writer of a famous Rahitnama, or ethical code, of Sikhs), son of Bhai Mani Singh Shaheed, has written in his Rahitnama, in a vision of Guru Gobind Singh Jee said from his mouth:

"Oh Sikh, listen to what I say:
In the beginning I wrote Jaap,
Then I uttered Akal Ustat–
This is like the recital of Vedas.
Then I wrote Bachittar Natak–
In that the story of the Sodhi lineage is told.
Then two Chandi Charitras were compiled
And poets appreciated the poetry in them.
Then I recited Giyan Prabodh ["Source of Knowledge"]
I described that, and all the wise people understood.
Then came the stories of the 24 Incarnations,
Then the Masters of Datta Taraye [a saint who had 24 masters] were told,
Then Bachittar Bakhiyan ["wonderful descriptions"] were made;
Those were also called one scripture.
If a fool reads them, he becomes wise.
Then in Shabad Hazare the stories of all kings were told.
Then 404 Stories were made;
They described the guiles of women [and men]."

The banis included in Dasam Granth are as follows:
1. Jaap
2. Akal Ustat
3. Bachittar Natak
4. Chandi Charitra
5. Chandi Charitra II
6. War Bhagauti Ji Ki
7. Giyan Prabodh
8. Chaubis Avtar [incarnations of Lord Vishnu]
9. Up Avtar [Brahma and Rudr]
10. Shabd Hazare
11. Swaiye
12. Khalsa Mehma
13. Shashtar Nam Mala
14. Charitropakhiyan
15. Zafarnama, Hikayat

Rehatnama Bhai Desa Singh,

“ਦੁਹੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਮੈਂ ਬਾਣੀ ਜੋਈ॥ ਚੁੰਨ ਚੁੰਨ ਕੰਠ ਕਰੇ ਨਿਤ ਸੋਈ॥

Recite and learn off by heart Banis from both Granths [Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Sri Dasam Granth Sahib].”

Tricked into Prostitution and rape

After the sordid tale of exploitation of Indian workers in Mississippi, comes a shocking case of illegal confinement and rape of a woman from Punjab by unauthorized travel agents in Ukraine.

“She was raped repeatedly by a gang of Indian travel agents, who wanted her to become a part of the flesh trade for the rest of her life”, Singh said. The family of 25-year-old Sarabjeet Kaur of a Ludhiana village has alleged that she was held captive for over 30 months in Singapore and Ukraine.

Sarabjeet’s father Gurdev Singh said she was promised a clerical job in Singapore in 2005, for which the family paid Rs 8 lakh, only to find her life in danger a year later.

“We are poor people and had to mortgage our house and land to a private moneylender. We did it in the hope of a well-paying job for our daughter, who had studied till Class 10,” Singh told Hindustan Times.

The family said their daughter was alive only because of the intervention of former union minister Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, and the alertness of the Indian mission in Ukraine. Sarabjeet returned to India on Tuesday.

Singh said the family agreed to send his daughter to Singapore, after paying the money to a Tarn Taran based Hindu extremists, who assured him that a female agent would escort her daughter to the destination.

“However, instead of a job, Sarabjeet was forced into prostitution. On her refusal, she was made to work as a maid in somebody’s house, and all her documents taken away”, the depressed father said.

After two years, Sarabjeet was asked to move to Ukraine by the people of the same network, and the real ordeal began. “She was raped repeatedly by a gang of travel agents, who wanted her to become a part of the flesh trade for the rest of her life”, Singh said.

Sarabjeet was lucky in informing her family that she was in Kiev, and it was then her father contacted Ramoowalia and pleaded for help.

Ramoowalia wrote to the Indian ambassador in Kiev, Debabrata Saha, who provided consular help to Sarabjeet. “It was reported to us that a woman from Punjab was in Ukraine without travel documents, we provided her with emergency documents, so that she could go back home”, an official from the embassy said.

Demanding strong action against the agents who had sent Sarabjeet to Singapore and Ukraine, Ramoowalia said, “Both the agents are roaming free. We were lucky to get this girl freed, but I have information on 300 more girls from Punjab who have been smuggled by Hindu extremists to at least six countries”.

“Earlier, it was thought that the girls were being sent abroad only for marriage, but the latest reports were alarming. In this particular case, the amount spent by the victim’s family should be returned to her, who has lost everything”, the former minister said.

Dasam Granth Cynics Now Attacking Guru Granth Sahib

Picture of the spokes person of the Anti-Sikh newspaper

The Plan to Unravel the Sikh Panth by Removing the Source of Strength Coming to Fruition

Chandigarh, Punjab (KP) – Controversies continue to plague the notorious Rozana Spokesman newspaper and it’s editor, Joginder Sawney. The newspaper, which operates from over a dozen offices all over Punjab, seems to be creating a new controversy everyday it is published. Many have considered its views against Dasam Granth Sahib, Amrit Sanchar, and Rehit Maryada blasphemous. Recently, the newspaper has launched a new controversy by belittling Bhagat Bani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee.

Joginder Sawney is embattled this time for allowing his newspaper to be misused by modern day unfounded missionary scholars. In its February 24th edition, the newspaper published a ‘tribute’ to Bhagat Ravidas on his birthday. The author of the ‘tribute’ – Harbhajan Sinh, entirely disbanded bani of Bhagat Ravidas Ji from the rest of Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s teachings and stated that when comparing the two, Bhagat Ravidas Ji seems unfamiliar from the teachings of Sikh Gurus.

Several sakhis (tales) of Bhagat Ravidas Ji were misquoted by Harbhajan Singh in ridiculing manner. The article erroneously states that no historical facts are present about the life of Bhagat Ravidas Ji. The same Rozana Spokesman that is trying its best to raise doubts about Dasam Granth Sahib and several other eminent Sikh practices is using the same agenda to now create doubts about the Bhagats.

Although Panthic groups should have dealt with Joginder Sawney long ago, even this time, Sikh groups failed to initiate any inquiries--whereas the Dalit community faced this matter with their own influence. Bhagat Ravidas Ji is without a doubt an eminent figure for the Dalits, but the Sikh community is also directed to give the same high status to Bhagat Ravidas Ji as it gives to other Saints.

Soon after the articles were published against Bhagat Ravidas Ji, the Dalit community filed FIRs against the newspaper’s editor-in-chief and the author of the article. As a result, teams of Punjab Police raided several offices of Rozana Spokesman and also arrested and filed charges against Harbhajan Singh for intentionally hurting the sentiments of a minority community. Charges have also been filed against Joginder Sawney who remains at-large.

Earlier, seeing the wrath of the community increase, Joginder Sawney had played a publicity stunt by publishing a statement to clear his stance. Joginder Sawney begged pardon from the Dalit Community and stated that the Rozana Spokesman is the voice of the Dalit Community. He further alleged that his entire team, including Harbhajan Sinh is regretful about the incident. Whether Joginder truly works to provide a voice to the Dalit Community remains unproven, but it is definitely true that he has hired people who hold no regards to the lower-caste communities, as well as Sikh scriptures and traditions.

"With the Spokesman providing a lead, and those like Amarjit Halwara support the cause from behind..."

In addition, Joginder Sawney and the entire staff of Rozana Spokesman have proven that their ideology is no different from that of the ex-communicated Kala Afghana who held Bhagat Bani with no regard.

With the Spokesman providing a lead, and those like Amarjit Halwara support the cause from behind, it seems like a new trend is emerging at a fast pace which allows people to raise questions about the Bani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, just as they did before with Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.

Book now if you can and if you love Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

A lot of People have started slating the Bani of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Guru Ji kept his Bani separate from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji because his bani was focused on Bir-ras, a warrior energy which inspires one to fight against tyranny. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji focuses on the spiritual path more. People have slated and made so many slanderous remarks against the words of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Singhs from the UK have decided enough is enough and are openly doing parchaar about the roots of Dasam Bani and informing the misguided Sangat of tradition values which have been lost by the Khalsa.

Just a few weeks ago there was a programme was organised by local midland youth and Nihang Singhs from the UK. The talk was headed by Sukha Singh, the presentation puts the slanders of Gurus bani in there place and leaves them with no argument. If you want to educate your local sangat and book this presentation please email: sridasamgranth@hotmail.co.uk

We all need to unite to defend Sikh principles!

We need independence!

Sikhs were pulled out of their houses and killed in police fake police counters

Houses were burnt

Cruel torture was afflicted on Amritdhari Sikhs

Sikhs were massacred in many operations

Sikh women were raped

Little kids were killed

Propaganda was done to slander us

Sikhs were imprisoned with no charges and still remain there since 1980s

Sikhs were framed

Our religion is being slandered and changed institutionally by India

We are labelled as terrorist just because a few Sikhs defended themselves

All our militants did was stand up for our rights and demand equality

Genocide and atrocities have been committed on us

After all this some Sikhs say we don’t need independence, all I can say that they are un-loyal low life traitors to their people and religion.

Gurjit Kaur

Gurjit Kaur makes a living by doing odd jobs at Amritsar's Golden Temple.

She lost her husband and 14-year-old daughter during Operation Bluestar.

Later, her oldest son was killed by police. Two other sons took to arms and became militants - they too were killed in encounters with security forces.

Her youngest boy was only 14 when he also disappeared after the police took him away.

"I have been left all alone in this world. Army soldiers killed my husband Gurmej Singh and our young daughter Jasvinder."

Almost her entire family - her farmer husband, four young sons and her daughter - over the years fell victim to the mindless violence that enveloped Punjab through the 1980's and early 1990's.

It all started with Operation Bluestar in June 1984.

"It was Guru Arjan Dev-ji's Martyrdom Day in the beginning of June that year.

"Gurmej Singh was a deeply religious man who visited the Golden Temple at least once every month.

He was also an ardent admirer of (militant leader) Sant (Saint) Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

"He left our home in Village Sodhiwala in Punjab's southwestern border district of Ferozepur along with our elder daughter, who was only a young child at the time.

"They were inside the Temple when the army launched its attack.

"Gurmej Singh and Jasvinder never returned home.

"All I know is they were among the thousands who were killed by the army that day. We couldn't even perform their last rites.

"To add to our grief, the police began harassing us because they recovered some pictures of Bhindranwale which my dead husband had once bought.

"My eldest son Kashmir Singh - 22 years and working as a mechanic at a nearby workshop - was picked up and killed. They threw his body in a drain outside the village.

"Intensely angry over the injustices we were forced to suffer, two of my younger sons left home to join militant organisations.

"I did not attempt to stop Jaspal Singh and Tarlok Singh from going away.

"I do not know if they were able to avenge the deaths of my husband, daughter and older son, but some years later - around 1991 - both the boys were shot dead in encounters with the police.

"I did not grieve - they had given their lives while serving the cause of the Panth (Sikh community) and the Gurus.

No respite

"But the police did not stop at this.

"One day - also in the year 1991 - a bunch of police wallahs came to my house and picked up my younger daughter, youngest son and me.

My daughter and I were locked up in the Jail at Nabha Town.

"But I still do not know what became of my youngest child. Baljinder Singh was only 14 years old.

"He simply disappeared from the custody of the police.

"Twenty years have gone by but I still cry each day. I cannot forget how my entire family was wiped out.

"Those who have seen the blood of loved ones spilt will never forget and I will carry my memories with me to my funeral pyre.

"Today I am all alone. My only surviving child lives with her husband outside Punjab. She does not visit me because the police harass her each time she came here in the past.

"My only remaining wish is to identify the men who killed Baljinder Singh. He was only a innocent little child.

"I want to know what kind of men could bring themselves to murdering a child. I want to know if they made my sweetest child suffer.

"My heart will not stop aching. Nothing else matter to me now."

READ THIS STORY AND WAKE UP - WAKE UP KHALSA PANTH!

FOR THE SAKE OF THESE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OURS....

"So what, if you have killed my four sons, the hooded cobra [Panth Khalsa] is coiled up and ready to fight."

It is panthic tradition that if a generation of Sikhs get opressed and eliminated the next generation will come and get payback from the culprits!

Khalistan will be established

Final Thoughts

Sikhi tells us that the world is Gods game, one way to picture it is like when a kid plays his Gameboy. The aim of all humans in this Game is to defeat all the dark energies in life and the traps of maya (worldly illusion). When a person by living a life according to Guru Ji's teachings and Grace gets united with God, they have completed the game. The idea is to completely fall in love with God from the heart (to do this one must read Gurbani and meditate on Waheguru with every breath). Only in this way will we think of Waheguru in our final moments, otherwise we will think of worldly things in our final moments (which shows we never understood the game and have not completed it).

Goojaree:
At the very last moment, one who thinks of wealth, and dies in such thoughts,
shall be reincarnated over and over again, in the form of serpents. ||1||
O sister, do not forget the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||Pause||
At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts,
shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute. ||2||
At the very last moment, one who thinks of his children, and dies in such thoughts,
shall be reincarnated over and over again as a pig. ||3||
At the very last moment, one who thinks of mansions, and dies in such thoughts,
shall be reincarnated over and over again as a goblin. ||4||
At the very last moment, one who thinks of the Lord, and dies in such thoughts,
says Trilochan, that man shall be liberated; the Lord shall abide in his heart. ||5||2|| Ang 526 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

3 pillars of Sikhi - Simran - Seva - Sacrifice

Meditate in God's Name: Sikhs meditate on Waheguru. Sikhs are ordered to wake up at Amritvela (early morning before sunrise) and meditate on God. Sikhs are to read Gurbani as much as possible to keep them in a trance with truth. Sikhs have to do Nitnem these are prayers which are done at different time of the day. Sikhs keep Waheguru's Name in their heart while engaged in the day-to-day worldly pursuits. Sikhs get the Divine blessing while worshiping Waheguru. They always cherish to accumulate the treasure of Waheguru's Name.

Fair Earning of Livelihood: A Sikh is to earn his livelihood by fair means. They are neither to exploit nor allow to be exploited. They are to be a constructive and positive role for the society with their fair dealings. They are to help in all types of charity and give food donations for Guru Ka Langar. A Sikh is also ordered to give a minimum of 1/10^th of their earnings to a noble cause.

Fighting for Justice: A Sikh always lives by the Will of Waheguru and cherishes the welfare of the whole humanity while living a peaceful life. But if there is injustice; cruelty and Evil brutality in the world. It is Dharma of the Sikhs to fight directly and even sacrifice their life for the Just-cause.

Foods to avoid, which contain alcohol and cow stomach

Cheese is made by coagulating milk to give curds which are then separated from the liquid, whey, after which they can be processed and matured to produce a wide variety of cheeses. Milk is coagulated by the addition of rennet. The active ingredient of rennet is the enzyme, chymosin (also known as rennin). The usual source of rennet is the stomach of slaughtered newly-born calves. Vegetarian cheeses are manufactured using rennet from either fungal or bacterial sources. Advances in genetic engineering processes means they may now also be made using chymosin produced by genetically altered micro-organisms.

Vegetarian Cheeses

These contain the words “suitable for vegetarians” on the packing. Vegetarian cheeses are made with rennets of non-animal origin. In the past, fig leaves, melon, wild thistle and safflower have all supplied plant rennets for cheese making. However, most widely available vegetarian cheeses are made using rennet produced by fermentation of the fungus Mucor miehei. Vegetarian cheese may also be made using a rennet from the bacteria Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus prodigiosum.

Spirit vinegar is distilled before the acetification process has finished and contains a small amount of alcohol which changes the flavor dimension of the vinegar.

First, just so you know, the only type of alcohol in anything that you would ever put in your mouth is ethanol, CH3CH2OH.

When bacteria ferment they create one of two possibilities, ethanol CH3CH2OH, or acetic acid, CH3COOH. Acetic acid is a more oxidized form of ethanol. Ethanol is what you want if you're making wine, beer, liquor, etc. Acetic acid is what gives all vinegars their distinct taste, and the simplest of all vinegars would be a ~3% solution of acetic acid. Most vinegars contain additional flavor components. Any acetic acid in an alcoholic drink however would make it bad, since it has a very strong flavor.

In spirit vinegar, the fermentation process is stopped before the bacteria have completely converted all the ethanol (which is always found in very small amounts anyway) into acetic acid. Whereas even a small amount of acetic acid in alcoholic beverages would completely ruin the flavor, the small amount of alcohol left over in spirit vinegar enhances the flavor in some people's opinions.

If you are asking this question on a practical "I want to get drunk" level. The answer is that drinking spirit vinegar would be just about the stupidest way to get drunk. The percentage of alcohol is miniscule, and you would probably have to drink gallons of vinegar to get drunk from it.

Heinz ketchup and beans contain spirit vinegar!

Karah Prashaad

Deg also known as Karah Prashaad is a sweet treat from the Guru to his Sikhs. It is also a sign of the Sikhs equality and unity.

Code of conduct regarding Karah Prashaad:

Listen to the method of making Krah Parshaad. Take three equal quantities of sugar, butter and flour. Clean the utensils and bowl. Take a cleansing bath, repeat 'Vaheguru' while preparing. Stay focused while making the Parshaad and sing the Guru's Hymns. Rehatnama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

Sikhs that know Jap Ji sahib of by heart, repeat this while making Karah Prasad, and then they recite the Gurmantar unitl it is ready. 6 verses of the Anand Sahib (by the whole Sangat present) are to be recited before the Bhog is done. Make sure Deg is at a decent temperature before doing Bhog with the kirpan.

I have prepared all sorts of foods in various ways, and all sorts of sweet deserts. I have made my kitchen pure and sacred. Now, O my Sovereign Lord King, please sample my food. Ang 1266 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

If while distributing Kraah Parshaad one discriminates and becomes greedy. Giving some more than others they will forever receive unhappiness. Rehatnama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

A Sevadar distributing Deg should never set aside his own portion before serving others. The sevadaar must have no discrimination in their hearts, the whole Sangat must be treated equally and fairly (Nobody is to get a second serving until the whole Sangat has been served Deg at the end of the divan, only after the whole sangat has been catered for and there is extra Deg left over, then you may have a second serving). Most Gurdwaras have a person serving on the mens side and a person serving on the womens side at the same time, this gets rid of any gender discrimination. The whole sangat is to remain seated and jap “Satnam-Waheguru” while Deg is being served and you may only leave darbar after the whole Sangat has been in this way you show respect to the whole Sangat.

With a single, impartial eye, look upon all alike, and see God pervading all. Ang 833 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

DEGH PARSHAD MUST BE COOLED BEFORE IT IS CONSECRATED

Once, on the eve of the birth of the Khalsa, at Vaisakhi celebrations, parshad was brought into the Guru’s presence in two containers and placed before Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The hasty preparation by the attendants meant that the parshad was still hot when placed in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. At the end of the programme, Ardas was performed and as per the tradition, parshad was offered to Guru Ji so that it could be consecrated. The hukamnama was read, following which, the attendants distributed the deg parshad, to the sangat. The sangat was reciting simran of Satnam-Waheguru and Baba Ji was standing behind Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji waving the fan (chaur Sahib). At this time the tenth master Guru Gobind Singh Ji appeared before Baba Ji and said, “Bhai Harnam Singh! Today the deg was very hot. Just look, the attendants can’t even serve it properly with their hands. How can we have such hot parshad? So in the future, deg should be prepared with sanctity and allowed to cool down before it is offered for bhog (consecration or blessing of the parshad by the Guru).” After the parshad was distributed, Baba Ji told the sangat about the order of the great Guru. After this incident, Baba Ji would personally check the vessel and parshad to see if it was too hot, before it was offered for bhog. If it was too hot, then the parshad would be stirred to cool it down before being offered for consecration. So, we should always be careful about offering hot deg parshad to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji for bhog and make sure the parshad is warm or cool before the Ardas and bhog.

Gurbani facts about Maya

The above pic anit realing moving its an illusion like this world!

A lot of people never remember God and are caught up in worldly things. Guru Ji tells us to live in the world, but we must also remember God and live a truthful life full of worship and good deeds. Worldly pleasures are fake and bear no fruit they are just like a dream they come and go.


The created world is like an illusion, a mirage - see this, and reflect upon it in your mind. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 536

Emotional attachment to Maya is created by my God; He Himself misleads us through illusion and doubt. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 67

Caught in the illusion of Maya, you have forgotten the Supreme Lord. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 805

Through the Shabad, egotism is conquered and subdued, and the illusion of Maya is dispelled. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 67

The Primal Lord Himself formed the Universe. The beings and creatures are engrossed in emotional attachment to Maya. In the love of duality, they are attached to the illusory material world. The unfortunate ones die, and continue to come and go. Meeting with the True Guru, understanding is obtained. Then, the illusion of the material world is shattered, and one merges in Truth. ||1|| One who has such pre-ordained destiny inscribed upon his forehead - the One God abides within his mind. ||1||Pause|| He created the Universe and He Himself beholds all. No one can erase Your record, Lord. If someone calls himself a Siddha or a seeker, he is deluded by doubt, and will continue coming and going. That humble being alone understands who serves the True Guru. Conquering his ego, he finds the Lord's Door. ||2|| From the One Lord, all others were formed. The One Lord is pervading everywhere; there is no other at all. Renouncing duality, one comes to know the One Lord. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one knows the Lord's Door, and His Banner. Meeting the True Guru, one finds the One Lord. Duality is subdued within. ||3|| One who belongs to the All-powerful Lord and Master no one can destroy him. The Lord's servant remains under His protection; The Lord Himself forgives him, and blesses him with glorious greatness. There is none higher than Him. Why should he be afraid? What should he ever fear? ||4|| Through the Guru's Teachings, peace and tranquility abide within the body. Remember the Word of the Shabad, and you shall never suffer pain. You shall not have to come or go, or suffer in sorrow. Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you shall merge in celestial peace. O Nanak, the Gurmukh beholds Him ever-present, close at hand. My God is always fully pervading everywhere. ||5|| Some are selfless servants, while others wander, deluded by doubt. The Lord Himself does, and causes everything to be done. The One Lord is all-pervading; there is no other at all. The mortal might complain, if there were any other. Serve the True Guru; this is the most excellent action. In the Court of the True Lord, you shall be judged true. ||6|| All the lunar days, and the days of the week are beautiful, when one contemplates the Shabad. If one serves the True Guru, he obtains the fruits of his rewards. The omens and days all come and go. But the Word of the Guru's Shabad is eternal and unchanging. Through it, one merges in the True Lord. The days are auspicious, when one is imbued with Truth. Without the Name, all the false ones wander deluded. ||7|| The self-willed manmukhs die, and dead, they fall into the most evil state. They do not remember the One Lord; they are deluded by duality. The human body is unconscious, ignorant and blind. Without the Word of the Shabad, how can anyone cross over? The Creator Himself creates. He Himself contemplates the Guru's Word. ||8|| The religious fanatics wear all sorts of religious robes. They roll around and wander around, like the false dice on the board. They find no peace, here or hereafter. The self-willed manmukhs waste away their lives, and die. Serving the True Guru, doubt is driven away. Deep within the home of the heart, one finds the Mansion of the True Lord's Presence. ||9|| Whatever the Perfect Lord does, that alone happens. Concern with these omens and days leads only to duality. Without the True Guru, there is only pitch darkness. Only idiots and fools worry about these omens and days. O Nanak, the Gurmukh obtains understanding and realization; he remains forever merged in the Name of the One Lord. ||10||2|| Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 842
