Wow! Do you have any interpretations as to the meaning of this shabad?

The message of the shabad is recognise our true, divine nature in a world full of distractions which cause us to forget who we really are. The shabad is steeped in metaphor. Bhagat Kabeer Ji draws our attention to the seemingly reverse order of things: "First, the son was born, and then, his mother." The 'son' refers to the immaculate soul, which emanated from the One. Next came ਮਾਈ (maa-ee), or maya, whom the mortal treats like his "mother". Kabeer Ji says, "The guru falls at the feet of the disciple. Listen to this wonderful thing, O Siblings of Destiny!" Sikhi teaches us that the True Guru is within everyone, but when we become engrossed in maya, the pure soul (Guru) is overridden by the human mind (disciple).

Nanak Naam videos are brilliant! The Mool Mantar and Jap Ji sahib ones are awesome! :biggrin:

Re the hukamnamma discussed earlier. The article sent was excellent. I had a read through and it had some great ideas. I think it ultimately comes down to getting rid of "me" to reveal only the one. Once everything is only the one, then the other does not exist and all "realties" are one, even ones that we would find strange.

I will keep an eye out for the above event.

Thanks. I barely post on other societies. Sometimes I forget they exist or I don't know about them. Came across Sikh Society and just thought of saying hello as it seemed quite quiet :lol:
