Summary
In this shabad, Dhan Shri Guru Arjan
Dev Ji’s gives insights about nature of ‘The One’ and ‘HIS Offerings’. What is
perfection? Perfection is state where no ills, evils, shortcomings or impurity
resides. And ‘Any Entity’ having such state is bound to be called perfect.
Well, there is no such entity but ‘God – HIMSELF’. Please note ‘God’ is not
entity since HE is ‘ਸੈਭੰ – सैभं - Self-Existent’ where
as an entity is not self-sustainable. Thus Guruji calls ‘HIM – THE PERFECT’. HE
knows everything what resides in heart of an individual.
HE bestows many gifts and one of HIS
gifts is to make an individual dust of the feet of the Saints. What is the
significance of ‘Dust of Feet of The Saints’? Well, such a blessing keeps an
individual humble. And humility, non-existence of ego, is the key to
self-realization, the state which every living entity wants to achieve. Guruji
has Himself said following:
पहिला मरणु कबूलि जीवण की छडि आस ॥ होहु सभना की रेणुका तउ आउ हमारै पासि ॥१॥
(First, accept death, and give up any hope of life. Become the dust of the feet of all, and
then, you may come to me.)
And Guruji asks for same:
नानक दासु इहै सुखु मागै मो कउ करि संतन की धूरे ॥४॥५॥
(Nanak,
Your slave, begs for this happiness: let me be the dust of the feet of the
Saints.)
Without HIS Grace nothing can be
achieved even the most trivial sounding actions. Like, the very breath which we
believe is trivial thing it is not. No matter how much the living tissus
struggle to inhale, without HIS Grace they cannot get air. It is different
matter that ignorants think otherwise. They don’t realize it. They believe they
have achieved it at their own. Hence they become victim of ‘Ego’.
जब कछु पावै तब गरबु करतु है ॥
(When he acquires something, he is inflated with ego.)
And only he seeks ‘HIS Grace’ who has
already become dust of every one’s feet. Thus, Guruji asks for ‘HIS Grace, WHO’
is merciful to the meek. He asks for HIS protection, ‘The One, WHO’ is sustiane
of the world.
There is the one question which comes
to the mind of every seeker. Where does HE reside? How far HE is? Well Guruji
answers by saying that, ‘The One, WHO’ has created everything is all pervading.
HE is present in water, land and sky. Guruji further say God is near not far
away as HE resides very near.
No matter how much an individual is
determined for meditation, Guruji say without ‘HIS’ blessing and ‘HIS Grace’ that
cannot happen. Only ‘HIS Grace’ ensures that an individual meditates on ‘HIS
Name’. Guruji further says that ‘HIS Grace’ makes such an individual sings HIS
glorious praises twenty-four hours a day.
HE cherishes and sustains all beings
and creatures. The simple reason comes to mind that this all which we
comprehend is ‘HIS Creation’ and being a ‘Creator’ HE is bound to do that. But
point to be noted HIS affection is not an individual, whose ignorant mind
thinks he has created something and then remain attached to it foreover. And
that’s why Guruji say I seek the Sanctuary of such ‘Lord's Door’.
In summary Guruji is asking everyone to seek
sanctuary of all merciful God, WHO blesses with HIS Grace, humbleness, meditation
of HIS Name and cherishes and sustains all the living beings!
