Gems of Gurbani
Guru Granth Sahib
Onkar 15
None can know the mysteries of that Creator, Universal Lord. Whatever this Universal Creator plans that definitely does happen.
For the riches of this world the mortals contemplate on His Name but the wealth comes as He writes in his destiny. For the sake of wealth mortals become servants or even thieves. But the crux of the matter is that this wealth does not go with man when he goes (dies) and then it belongs to another. Without the true Name (that goes with man after death) the mortal does not get honour in God’s Court. He who drinks God’s elixir gets emancipated in the end II 50 II
Bewildered, amazed O friend I find myself, astonished how my self- conceit that provoked I-amness and mineness, is now stilled and illuminated now with the knowledge my mind now utters His Name. I am weary of all the ornaments like necklaces, hair-strings, bracelets and cosmetics. Meeting my Beloved I have attained peace, the virtues I wear as garland in my neck. Nanak by Guru’s grace the love and affection of the Lord is obtained. Without God who attains peace? Ponder over this in your mind and see. Read about Lord, understand Him and embrace love for Him. Contemplate on His Name, remember Him. Lord’s Name is the only support II 51 II
The destiny is scribed by the Creator Lord O friend no one can erase it. The Creator Himself created the Universe and mercifully steps (realization) it into man’s mind. The glories are in the hand of the Creator this must be understood by you, reflect upon it by Guru’s word. The Lord’s writ cannot be challenged. As it pleases Him, he keeps me and takes care of me. Reflecting on Your Name Nanak has obtained your gracious glance O Lord. The wayward who forget this are lost to death by rotting in such state. Those who reflect on Guru’s word are saved by Lord. The God person whom man cannot see, how can he say anything about Him? I sacrifice to Guru who has shown me my Master within my mind II 52 II
