Parkash Diwas (Gurpurab) of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

[Jaskaran Singh]

Since today is the birth day of Guru Nānak Dev Ji, I thought I should make a thread and we could post Gurbāni quotes we find interesting...

I personally like the Anand Sahib (even though it's by Guru Amar Dās rather than Guru Nānak Dev Ji):

I also like the "Aarti" portion of the Kīrtan Sohila (maybe because it alludes to the Upaniṣad[a]s so often):

Just to make it clear, all ten gurus were one jot, so for us no difference of who physically wrote the words as everything flows from the creator

Yeah, I know...I was just pointing that out because the thread was devoted to Guru Nanak's Gurpurab and I was linking to the Anand Sahib, .

Sūhī mėhlā 1 gẖar 7
Soohee, First Mehl, Seventh House:
Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Jog na kẖinthā jog na dandai jog na bẖasam cẖaṛā▫ī▫ai.
Yoga is not the patched coat, Yoga is not the walking stick. Yoga is not smearing the body with ashes.
Jog na munḏī mūnd mudā▫i▫ai jog na sińī vā▫ī▫ai.
Yoga is not the ear-rings, and not the shaven head. Yoga is not the blowing of the horn.
Anjan māhi niranjan rahī▫ai jog jugaṯ iv pā▫ī▫ai. ||1||
Remaining unblemished in the midst of the filth of the world - this is the way to attain Yoga. ||1||
Galī jog na ho▫ī.
By mere words, Yoga is not attained.
Ėk ḏarisat kar samsar jāṇai jogī kahī▫ai so▫ī. ||1|| rahā▫o.
One who looks upon all with a single eye, and knows them to be one and the same - he alone is known as a Yogi. ||1||Pause||
Jog na bāhar maṛī masāṇī jog na ṯāṛī lā▫ī▫ai.
Yoga is not wandering to the tombs of the dead; Yoga is not sitting in trances.
Jog na ḏes disanṯar bẖavi▫ai jog na ṯirath nā▫ī▫ai.
Yoga is not wandering through foreign lands; Yoga is not bathing at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.
Anjan māhi niranjan rahī▫ai jog jugaṯ iv pā▫ī▫ai. ||2||
Remaining unblemished in the midst of the filth of the world - this is the way to attain Yoga. ||2||
Saṯgur bẖetai ṯā sahsā ṯūtai ḏẖāvaṯ varaj rahā▫ī▫ai.
Meeting with the True Guru, doubt is dispelled, and the wandering mind is restrained.
Nijẖar jẖarai sahj ḏẖun lāgai gẖar hī parcẖā pā▫ī▫ai.
Nectar rains down, celestial music resounds, and deep within, wisdom is obtained.
Anjan māhi niranjan rahī▫ai jog jugaṯ iv pā▫ī▫ai. ||3||
Remaining unblemished in the midst of the filth of the world - this is the way to attain Yoga. ||3||
Nānak jīvṯi▫ā mar rahī▫ai aisā jog kamā▫ī▫ai.
O Nanak, remain dead while yet alive - practice such a Yoga.
vāje bājẖahu sińī vājai ṯa▫o nirbẖa▫o paḏ pā▫ī▫ai.
When the horn is blown without being blown, then you shall attain the state of fearless dignity.
Anjan māhi niranjan rahī▫ai jog jugaṯ ṯa▫o pā▫ī▫ai. ||4||1||8||
Remaining unblemished in the midst of the filth of the world - this is the way to attain Yoga. ||4||1||8||

Technically, his birthday was around vaisAkhi, but it's celebrated around kArtika pUrNimA, dunno why...
