摘自《古魯那納克的靈魂召喚:賈普吉‧薩希布》一書
在第19節中,Guru Nanak 繼續解釋真實合一的無限浩瀚。 他解釋說,ㄧ的名字、住所和領域是無數的,遙不可及的。 即使稱祂們為無數也是不夠的,因為頭腦無法掌握它。
那納克告訴我們,一切形式的神聖之名和讚美都源自於聖言(祂的話語振動)。一切智慧都源自於聖言。一切書面和口頭溝通都源自於聖言。我們額頭上銘刻的命運也源自於這振動 ─ 言語聖言,然而,書寫命運的那一位超越了現實、超越了各類型命運的掙扎免強。聖言是萬物中的無形,是所有顯化中的未顯化。一切存在之物都是聖言的表達。
這就是為什麼我們相信聖言(祂的話語振動)是最強大的。這就是為什麼我們信仰聖言,敬拜聖言,對我們而言,聖言的概念就是神的概念。唱甜美的歌,唱你們稱為讚美詩的、更高意識的歌,唱我們稱為古魯之歌的古爾巴尼語言。因為這會淨化你的心靈。這會讓你領悟神聖之人的概念。這會讓你領悟更高意識的概念,領悟屬於你的聖言。
~ Yogi Bhajan – 1979 年 7 月 14 日
聖言(祂的話語振動)的力量和重要性不容小覷。聖言,即聖名,是造物主的振動和本質。在這最後的阿桑克·帕里小節( asankh pauree )中,古魯·那納克的深邃神秘主義得以展現。他擁有無限的審美,揭示了整個宇宙都源自於聖名的振動。古魯向我們闡述了聖名不僅遍及地球上人類的靈魂,更遍及整個元宇宙,遍及所有世界和所有生命。
名號無數,地域浩瀚無垠。
天界深不可測,難以接近,無數。
即便只是稱之為數不勝數,也令人感到沉重。
聖言源於聖名;
聖言源自於對神聖的讚美。
聖言源自於靈性智慧,
歌頌神聖的榮耀。
聖言孕育文字、言語和讚美詩。
聖言帶來命運,銘刻於額頭。
然而,書寫命運之言者,
祂的額頭上卻未刻有任何文字。
祂的旨意,我們亦然領受。
宇宙萬物皆是神聖之名的顯現。
若無神聖之名,萬物皆無處。
我該如何形容祢的創造力?
我甚至無法為合一犧牲奉獻一次。
唯有取悅祢之事,方為善行。
祢,永恆無形者。
19th Pauree
The Nineteenth Pauree brings universal knowledge, inspiration, and revelation.
If you understand this pauree, you’ll never have any trouble understanding anything.
Excerpted from the book Guru Nanak’s Call of the Soul: Japji Sahib:
In the 19th pauree, Guru Nanak continues explaining the infinite vastness of the True One. He explains that the names, the abodes, and the realms of the One are countless and beyond reach. Even to call them countless is insufficient because the mind cannot grasp it.
Nanak tells us that from the Word comes the names and praises of the Divine in all its forms. From the Word all wisdom comes. From the Word, all written and spoken communications spring. The destiny that is written on our forehead is from this vibration, the Word, yet the One who writes that destiny is beyond this reality and beyond the imposition of destiny. The Word is the formlessness in every form, the unmanifest in all that is manifest. Everything that exists is an expression of the Word.
That is why we believe the Word is the most powerful thing. That’s why we believe in the Word, we worship the Word, the concept of the Word to us is the concept of God. Sing sweet songs, sing songs of higher consciousness that you call hymns, sing the song of the Guru that we call it Gurbani. Because that will cleanse your mind and heart. That will bring you the concept of a divine person. That will bring you the concept of higher consciousness, your words.
~ Siri Singh Sahib – July 14, 1979
The power and importance of the Word should not be underestimated. The Word, the Naam, is the vibration and very identity of the Creative One. In this the final asankh pauree, Guru Nanak’s deep mysticism is revealed. He possess an unbounded sense of beauty that exposes the entire creation as springing from the vibration of the Naam. The Guru explains to us the reality that the Naam pervades not only in the souls of humans on earth but throughout the meta-universe to all worlds and all beings.
Asankh naav asankh thaav. Agamm agamm asankh lo-a.
Asankh keheh sir bhaar ho-ei. Akhree naam akhree saalaah.
Akhree gi-aan geet gunn gaah. Akhree likhann bolann baann.
Akhraa sir sanjog vakhaann. Jinayeh likhay tis sir naa-eh.
Jiv furmaa-ay tiv tiv paa-eh. Jaytaa keetaa taytaa naa-o.
Vinn naavay naahee ko thaa-o. Kudrat kavann kahaa veechaar.
Vaari-aa na jaavaa ayk vaar.
Jo tudh bhaavai saa-ee bhalee kaar. Too sadaa salaamat nirankaar. ]19]
Countless are the names, countless the places.
Inaccessible, unapproachable and countless are the celestial realms.
Even to call them countless is to carry the weight on your head.
From the Word, comes the Naam;
from the Word, comes praise of the Divine.
From the Word, comes spiritual wisdom,
singing the songs of divine glory.
From the Word, come the written and spoken words and hymns.
From the Word, comes destiny, written on one’s forehead.
But the One who wrote these Words of Destiny,
no words are written on the forehead of the One.
As the One ordains, so do we receive.
The created universe is the manifestation of the Divine Name.
Without the Divine Name, there is no place at all.
How can I describe Your Creative Power?
I cannot even once be a sacrifice to the One.
Whatever pleases the One is the only good done.
You, Eternal and Formless One.
