Summary of the message

Below is a summary the message of the 24 Astpadis in the Sukhmani Sahib.



Astpadi 1: sums up the benefits of contemplation and meditation.





Astpadi 2 :tells us that "practising holiness" reduces man's propensity to sin.





Astpadi 3: the Guru states that any study of holy texts, the performance of austerities. etc cannot compare with reading or listening to the Sacred Word.





Astpadi 4 :stresses the need for good behaviour.





Astpadi 5: we learn to thank God for all his various gifts and treasures which He gives us.





Astpadi 6 :examples God's gifts to man: a healthy body, delicacies to eat, silks and jewels to wear and pleasant music to hear.





Astpadi 7:dwells on the attributes of the saints.





Astpadi 8 :Similarly to 7, an appreciation of the God-oriented man- the Brahm-giani -is found here.





Astpadi 9 : Guru Arjan defines the various types of holy persons like the Pandit, Vaishnav, Bhagwati, etc





Astpadi 10 : This deals with the various types of people and substances, both good and bad.





Astpadi 11: The Guru tells us that the meek and the humble win God's love, while the haughty and the vain find no peace or joy.





Astpadi 12 : dwells on the lot of the boastful and the arrogant.





Astpadi 13 : tells us of the need to associate with saintly people and of avoiding their slander.





Astpadi 14 : points out that mortals, by their very nature, are fickle and way-ward; so no reliance can be placed on them.





Astpadi 15 : just as darkness is dispelled by light, and wilderness is illuminated by lightning, the Guru's instruction opens up the mind.

Astpadi 21 : the Guru tells of the pre-creation state. Before creation, there was a great void.





Astpadi 22 : there is a short list of God's attributes. He is the fountain of generosity and goodness.

Save the girl child.

The Gurmukh understands, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace.

Go, tell the beloved one....yearning of the yearning devotee.

ਸੱਤਗੁਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਰਗਟਿਆ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਧੁੰਧ ਜੱਗ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੋਇਆ

The whole world is attached to its own pleasures.

Beauty does not satisfy hunger

God

Surrender to the Guru's Will.

Emotional attachment to children and spouse

Gold and dust alike?

Five thieves

Speak less, eat less, sleep less

The Sikh of the Guru

speaks less,

sleeps less

and eats little.

Repudiating other's body (woman)

and other's wealth

he avoids listening to the slander of others.

Mortal knows everything but.......

Good and bad

Gursikh

Fourth Mehl:

One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru,

the True Guru,

shall rise in the early morning hours

and meditate on the Lord's Name.

Upon arising early in the morning,

he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar.

Following the Instructions of the Guru,

he is to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased.

Then, at the rising of the sun,

he is to sing Gurbani;

whether sitting down or standing up,

he is to meditate on the Lord's Name.

One who meditates on my Lord, Har, Har,

with every breath and every morsel of food -

that GurSikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind.

That person, unto whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate -

upon that GurSikh,

the Guru's Teachings are bestowed.

Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that GurSikh,

who himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it. 2

Never Forget Him

The world is like a crow.

 

 

 

The world is like a crow;

 with its beak,

it croaks spiritual wisdom.
But deep within there is

greed, falsehood and pride.
Without the Name of the Lord,

your thin outer covering shall wear off, you fool. ||1||

There is no pain as great as the pain...

There is no pain as great as the pain of Maya

The world is polluted with the filth of egotism, suffering in pain. This filth sticks to them because of their love of duality.
This filth of egotism cannot be washed away, even by taking cleansing baths at hundreds of sacred shrines.
Performing all sorts of rituals, people are smeared with twice as much filth.
This filth is not removed by studying. Go ahead, and ask the wise ones. 1

O my mind, coming to the Sanctuary of the Guru, you shall become immaculate and pure.
The self-willed manmukhs have grown weary of chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, but their filth cannot be removed. 1Pause

With a polluted mind, devotional service cannot be performed, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, cannot be obtained.
The filthy, self-willed manmukhs die in filth, and they depart in disgrace.
By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to abide in the mind, and the filth of egotism is dispelled.
Like a lamp lit in the darkness, the spiritual wisdom of the Guru dispels ignorance. 2

"I have done this, and I will do that"-I am an idiotic fool for saying this!
I have forgotten the Doer of all; I am caught in the love of duality.
There is no pain as great as the pain of Maya; it drives people to wander all around the world, until they become exhausted.
Through the Guru's Teachings, peace is found, with the True Name enshrined in the heart. 3

I am a sacrifice to those who meet and merge with the Lord.
This mind is attuned to devotional worship; through the True Word of Gurbani, it finds its own home.
With the mind so imbued, and the tongue imbued as well, sing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord.
O Nanak, never forget the Naam; immerse yourself in the True One. 43164

At the very last moment

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||

BHAGAT TRILOCHAN JI

Bhagat Trilochan was born in 1267 at village Barsi, district Sholapur in Maharashtra. He belonged to the Vaish caste. He heard about the fame of Bhagat Namdev Ji and reached Narsi Bamni for an audience with him. In his very first meeting, he requested Bhagat Namdev Ji to give him a glimpse of the Almighty. Bhagat Namdev Ji said to Bhagat Trilochan Ji in reply, "You shall also have the sight of Almighty if you contemplate on Him with devotionwhile working with your hands and legs at the same time." However Bhagat Trilochan Ji persuaded Bhagat Namdev Ji to bless him with His glimpse. Bhagat Namdev Ji humbly pleaded to Almighty to fulfill Bhagat Trilochan's request. Bhagat Trilochan Ji adopted Bhagat Namdev Ji as his Guru. Bhagat Trilochan Ji returned to his village and started serving every mendicant who came his way. The company of the holy men liberated him of desire for worldly materials and the fear of death. This resulted in him having glimpses of the Almighty around him.

DESIRE & SATISFACTION

Guru Arjan Dev Ji

The desires of the greatest of the great kings and landlords cannot be satisfied. They remain engrossed in Maya, intoxicated with the pleasures of their wealth; their eyes see nothing else at all. 1 No one has ever found satisfaction in sin and corruption. The flame is not satisfied by more fuel; how can one be satisfied without the Lord? Pause Day after day, he eats his meals with many different foods, but his hunger is not eradicated. He runs around like a dog, searching in the four directions. 2 The lustful, lecherous man desires many women, and he never stops peeking into the homes of others. Day after day, he commits adultery again and again, and then he regrets his actions; he wastes away in misery and greed. 3 The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is incomparable and priceless; it is the treasure of Ambrosial Nectar. The Saints abide in peace, poise and bliss; O Nanak, through the Guru, this is known. 46

The wealth of the Lord's Name

Guru Amar Das ji The wealth of the Lord's Name is immaculate, and absolutely infinite. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is over-flowing with treasure. Know that, except for the wealth of the Name, all other wealth is poison. The egotistical people are burning in their attachment to Maya. 1 How rare is that Gurmukh who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord. He is always in bliss, day and night; through perfect good destiny, he obtains the Name.

My Lord

You are the Giver, O Lord, O Cherisher, my Master, my Husband Lord. Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. 1 I have only one tongue – which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe? Unlimited, infinite Lord and Master – no one knows Your limits. 1Pause You destroy millions of my sins, and teach me in so many ways. I am so ignorant - I understand nothing at all. Please honor Your innate nature, and save me! 2 I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend.

Worldly Pleasures: Beware of them.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji

Without the Lord, nothing is of any use.
You are totally attached to that Enticer Maya;

she is enticing you. 1Pause

You shall have to leave behind your gold,

your woman and your beautiful bed;

you shall have to depart in an instant.
You are entangled in the lures of sexual pleasures,

and you are eating poisonous drugs. 1

You have built and adorned a palace of straw,

and under it, you light a fire.
Sitting all puffed-up in such a castle,

you stubborn-minded fool,

what do you think you will gain? 2

The five thieves stand over your head and seize you.

Grabbing you by your hair, they will drive you on.
You do not see them,

you blind and ignorant fool;

intoxicated with ego,

you just keep sleeping. 3

The net has been spread out,

and the bait has been scattered;

like a bird, you are being trapped.
Says Nanak, my bonds have been broken;

I meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. 4288

Me:Slave of Maya

O my Lord and Master, I know nothing.
My mind has sold out, and is in Maya's hands. 1Pause
You are called the Lord and Master, the Guru of the World.
I am called a lustful being of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. 1
The five vices have corrupted my mind.
Moment by moment, they lead me further away from the Lord. 2

Gurmukh: his duties

Come and join together, O my Siblings of Destiny; dispel your sense of duality and let yourselves be lovingly absorbed in the Lord.
Let yourselves be joined to the Name of the Lord; become Gurmukh, spread out your mat, and sit down. 1
In this way, throw the dice, O brothers.
As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. At the very last moment, you shall not have to suffer in pain. 1Pause
Let righteous actions be your gameboard, and let the truth be your dice.
Conquer sexual desire, anger, greed and worldly attachment; only such a game as this is dear to the Lord. 2
Rise in the early hours of the morning, and take your cleansing bath. Before you go to bed at night, remember to worship the Lord.
My True Guru will assist you, even on your most difficult moves; you shall reach your true home in celestial peace and poise. 3
The Lord Himself plays, and He Himself watches; the Lord Himself created the creation.
O servant Nanak, that person who plays this game as Gurmukh, wins the game of life, and returns to his true home. 4119
