🔴Live🔴ਕਥਾ ਸਮਾਗਮ-ਲੋਹੀਆਂ ਖਾਸ- ਪਿੰਡ: ਸਾਬੂਵਾਲ - ਗਿ: ਕੁਲਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ 239 ਵਾਲੇ (ਗੁ: ਸਾਹਿਬਜ਼ਾਦੇ ਬੁੰਗਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ )

The discourse begins by honoring Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the eternal Guru, the embodiment of ten Gurus. The speaker welcomes the congregation, highlighting the significance of spending time in the Guru's presence. Today's event commemorates Guru Granth Sahib Ji's Gurta Gaddi (enthronement), a unique event in world history. The speaker emphasizes that the Guru Granth Sahib is the embodiment of the divine light of all ten Gurus, having taken ten physical forms before becoming the eternal word. The concept of 'past lives' is briefly discussed, noting that true knowledge comes from understanding the present and future through divine wisdom.

The speaker addresses common misconceptions, clarifying that the Guru Granth Sahib has 'spoken' for 239 years through its ten physical forms and continues to speak. The journey of the 'jot' (divine light) is singular, emphasizing unity and the 'Ik Oankar' (One God) concept. The path to understanding God is difficult, like walking on a sword's edge, requiring careful attention. The speaker criticizes those who remain distracted during spiritual gatherings, equating it to not recognizing the profound importance of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The discourse highlights that while the world operates on perceived truths, the Guru Granth Sahib reveals the ultimate truth and exposes the falsehood of material attachments.

The discourse uses an analogy of a bed to illustrate the transient nature of worldly possessions. It explains that when one's 'surat' (consciousness) becomes refined, even inanimate objects can convey wisdom. However, if 'surat' is coarse, even the Guru's continuous teachings may be overlooked. The speaker emphasizes the need for 'bhaay ke charan' (feet of reverence/fear of God) to approach the Guru's word. This 'fear' is not worldly dread but a deep respect and constant awareness of God's presence, as described in popular Gurbani excerpts like Anand Sahib.

The speaker advises daily meditation (Naam Simran) for at least 15 minutes, morning and evening, to truly benefit from the Guru's wisdom. The concept of 'Bhaay ke Charan' is further elaborated, distinguishing it from worldly fear and defining it as a deep reverence and constant awareness of the divine presence. The discourse emphasizes that while external expressions of respect for Guru Granth Sahib are important, the inner connection through 'bhaay ke charan' and 'prem ke hath' (hands of love) is crucial. A controversial point is raised: Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the Guru of the Panj Pyaare (the Five Beloved Ones), not directly accessible to everyone without going through the path established by the Panth. This is crucial for understanding the Guru's system and avoiding misinterpretations.

The speaker addresses those who question the Guruship of Guru Granth Sahib, asserting that it is an eternal and powerful Guru, unlike a human Guru. He explains that the Panth (the Sikh community) was formed first, providing a physical 'body,' before the Granth (scripture) was fully compiled as the spiritual 'soul.' This signifies that if anyone harms the Granth, the Panth will act as its protector, a principle demonstrated throughout history. The process of compiling Guru Granth Sahib is detailed, starting with Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings and culminating in Guru Arjan Dev Ji's compilation at Ramsar Sahib and Guru Gobind Singh Ji's final recension at Damdama Sahib.

The speaker recounts how Guru Arjan Dev Ji showed immense reverence for the Guru Granth Sahib, sleeping on the floor while the scripture rested on a bed. This illustrates the supreme status of the Bani. The discourse then describes Guru Gobind Singh Ji's final act of bestowing Guruship upon the Guru Granth Sahib, emphasizing that while the Granth is the spiritual Guru, the Panth is the physical channel. Guru Gobind Singh Ji outlined three forms of the Guru: Nirgun (formless), Sargun (manifested in the Khalsa), and Gurshabad (the divine word). He also stated that a single Sikh dedicated to Bani day and night is a representation of the Guru. The importance of the written word over spoken words is also highlighted, as it provides a lasting testimony.

The speaker reiterates the argument that the Guru Granth Sahib is the Guru of the Panj Pyaare, implying that one must go through the Panth to connect with the Granth. This emphasizes the vital role of the Khalsa Panth in a Sikh's spiritual journey. The discourse concludes with a call for devotion to the Guru Granth Sahib and the Panth, encouraging the congregation to engage in constant 'Naam Simran' (remembrance of God's name) to resolve life's problems and gain spiritual wisdom. The importance of understanding the profound teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib is stressed, acknowledging the divine grace required to grasp such deep spiritual truths.
