How waheguru responds to devotee?
sat saroop ridai jin maani-aa.
karan karaavan tin mool pachhaani-aa.
jaa kai ridai bisvaas parabh aa-i-aa.
tat gi-aan tis man paragtaa-i-aa.
bhai tay nirbha-o ho-ay basaanaa.
jis tay upji-aa tis maahi samaanaa.
basat maahi lay basat gadaa-ee.
taa ka-o bhinn na kahnaa jaa-ee.
boojhai boojhanhaar bibayk.
naaraa-in milay naanak ayk.
Wonderful is ashtpadi 17, which explains how waheguru responds to devotee.
Waheguru had been true in the beginning, in ages, HE is and will remain in future too. HE is true and his worshippers are true. HIS vision is true and true are who behold HIM. HIS naam is true and true is who meditate on it. HE is goodness and HE himself is bestower of it. HE is true and true is one who could know HIM by HIS grace.
One, who perceives truth of HIM, will accept HIM cause of causes of everything. It is possible if one accepts it by heart. Such person understands everything and remains fearless. Now it is clear to that person that everything originated from waheguru and will merge there itself ultimately. The devotee treats himself as humble servant of God. Servant of master is obedient to master, he worships master always, depends on master, lives purely, remains absorbed in Naam, remembers HIM through each breath, feels bliss always.
AND God covers shortcomings of devotee, protects him, gets him honour, inspires him for naam recitation, fills him with bliss. The devotee is highest and is known in all ten directions by HIS grace.
Now the question, how these blessed devotees feel like?
Ashtpadies 20, 23 & 24 beautifully explain it.
Once satguru’s grace is showered over devotee, he (devotee) is inspired and supported to seek blessings of waheguru jee by simran, devotion, recitation and worshipping. Shortcomings particularly haume (ego) of devotee diminish. And he is mentally merged with whom he belonged (GOD). Once blessed by waheguru jee, all desires of devotee are fulfilled and he is content thereafter. He remains in bliss always. He is relieved of tension of rebirths. Love and taste of yearning has developed in heart and body. Eyes get peace by vision. By devotion, his heart is pacified. The knower of HIM (God) now gets all blissful pleasures. That divine father merges that devotee in HIMSELF. He gets wealth and prosperity He gets liberation. Then he is empowered to save other worldly people too. They are now representatives of God to distribute bliss, salvation, devotion and peace.
jo jaanai tis sadaa sukh ho-ay.
aap milaa-ay la-ay parabh so-ay.
oh Dhanvant kulvant pativant.
jeevan mukat jis ridai bhagvant.
Dhan Dhan Dhan jan aa-i-aa.
jis parsaad sabh jagat taraa-i-aa.
jan aavan kaa ihai su-aa-o.
jan kai sang chit aavai naa-o.
aap mukat mukat karai sansaar.
naanak tis jan ka-o sadaa namaskaar. [8/23]
I, servant of servants of HIS darbar also crave for dust of these saints.
Waheguru mehar kare
Next blog will be “We are fearless when we trust HIM
