ਸਲੋਕੁ ॥ ਪਵਣੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਾਣੀ ਪਿਤਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਧਰਤਿ ਮਹਤੁ ॥ ਦਿਵਸੁ ਰਾਤਿ ਦੁਇ ਦਾਈ ਦਾਇਆ ਖੇਲੈ ਸਗਲ ਜਗਤੁ ॥ ਚੰਗਿਆਈਆ ਬੁਰਿਆਈਆ ਵਾਚੈ ਧਰਮੁ ਹਦੂਰਿ ॥ ਕਰਮੀ ਆਪੋ ਆਪਣੀ ਕੇ ਨੇੜੈ ਕੇ ਦੂਰਿ ॥ ਜਿਨੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਗਏ ਮਸਕਤਿ ਘਾਲਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਮੁਖ ਉਜਲੇ ਕੇਤੀ ਛੁਟੀ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ Translation in English : This solok gives the gist of the Japji Sahib. It tells man that he whole nature surrounding him, is the source of his birth, feeding and Gur-Updesh. Keeping these things in mind, keep thy actions pure and truthful. Good and evil have their own effects. Good actions take you near the God-head (The realization of the Divine within) and evil actions take you farther away. Therefore, do good and remain in touch with Thy source the One-in-All and the All-in-One. But right actions only do not lead to complete freedom (At-one-ment). Therefore, along with righteous actions in the worldly dealings, meditate on the Divine Name (at least three hours before day break), with such devotion, that God‟s name ever dwells in thy heart. Thus your face will shine with Divine light, you will be free from birth and rebirth and lead many more to the goal of freedom. Man is here taken as a child. All sound is conveyed through air, and man gets his Gur-Updesh through it, so air is Guru. Water, the agent of all creation, the father, and the earth, that produces all things which feed mankind, the mother. Day and night are the male and female nurses. The day makes man play his part in this drama of the world, and night like a female nurse puts him to sleep and be fresh after rest. The good and evil actions leave their impressions instantaneously on man‟s mind. Good actions lead one near the Divine source (the Divine within) and the evil actions remove him farther away. Those who meditate on the Divine Name with love and devotion, reach the goal of human life. They rise above all temptations and realize the Divine within. Their faces shine with Divine glory and they lead many more to this Divine goal, and free them from the cycle of birth and rebirth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sant-teja-singh-ji/message
