Gems of Gurbani

Guru Granth Sahib

Vaar Maajh  10

                                      First Guru

When bronze, gold and iron breaks up the Smith joins it again by melting it in fire.

When there is break up in relationship between husband and wife it is the son who effects reconciliation between them again.

When Kings demand (whatever- taxes, revenue, wealth, soldiers), by giving only one gets respite.

Hunger of a hungry man is satiated only by eating food.

Relief from famine comes only if it rains and rivers overflow.

There is an affinity between sweet words and love.

If truth is spoken the bond with Holy Scriptures gets established.

By truth and goodness a bond of dead is established with living (everyone remembers a good truthful person even after death).

Such are the bonds that prevail in this world.

The fool is mended only if he is struck on face.

Nanak says; he has come to this conclusion only after intense deliberations by singing the praises a bond is established in the Lord’s court II 2 II

After creating this world the God gives it an afterthought. He created some false ones and some truthful people. The genuine ones he consigns to His treasury and the false ones throws out outside from His true court. When the false one are thrown out of His true court, who shall they pray for pardon? The only way is to seek sanction in Guru’s sanctuary.

The True Guru makes pure ones from the false because he is the embellisher of man with God’s Name. By enshrining love and affection for the Lord’s Name Guru makes them acceptable in True Lord’s court.

No one can question their worth who have been pardoned by the Creator Himself II 12 II
