Unfold Concept Of Gurbani

In Gurbaani we come across three important words as

1. GURU

2. GURu

3. GUR

These three are the key words of Gurbani and the BASIC CONCEPT of Gurbani understanding is based in knowing the correct reference meanings of these words and their inter-relationship.

Gurbani is the Science of SPRITUALITY of DIVINE WORDS. Just as Science deals with the laws of various natural forces and then make use of it for the benefit of the upliftment of Human life similarly Gurbani deals with the scientific Knowledge about the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE in terms of DIVINE WORDS for the upliftment of Human Souls towards its final GOAL.

Thus it is important to understand the scientific analysis of Divine words to get the true message of Gurbani. The Science of DIVINE WORDS of Gurbani is the Grammar of the language of Gurbani. The understanding of Grammar would enable us to know the intrinsic meaning of words and then scientific analysis would provide the understanding of the true message being conveyed by different Divine Words.

Thus it is important to understand Grammar of the Gurbani language and application of modern science principle of quantum physics of waves to Gurbani words.

GRAMMER OF GURBANI

It is important to understand the Grammar of Gurbani for getting the correct meanings of Gurbani Messages. It may be very difficult to present the whole of Grammar of Gurbani as Grammar is a dry and boring subject for many people reading and understanding Gurbani. However we must evaluate some minimum level of Rules of Grammar that can be helpful in understanding most of Gurbani in a most simple way.

In this respect there has been a very interesting observation regarding Grammar of Gurbani words. It can be observed that nearly 70% of Gurbani words are depicted with two important Matras. These are the Matra of Big U and that of small u known as DULAIKAN and AUKAN. The other Matra is that of Big I and that of small i known as Bihari or Sihari.

Therefore it seems to be of utmost importance to get the understanding of grammar of words related to the above Matras. If that is done then most of the Gurbani messages can be understood as per grammar of the words and the understanding of Gurbani can be more clear and candid in explanations.

Concept Of God In Gurbaani

We have established a CONCEPT OF GOD in GURBAANI and this concept is related to the pronunciation of the very first SYMBOL in SGGS Ji as IK ONKAAR and we tell that GOD IS ONE. If we carefully read Gurbaani and deliberate on the Gurbaani words then we would find that there is no such concept in Gurbaani. No where Gurbaani is referring to the word ONKAAR as GOD. Referring ONKAAR as GOD is our own assumption and we have never tried to verify as to whether Gurbaani is telling us so or not.

In Gurbaani we find that nowhere ONKAAR has been refered as ONE. What has been referred in Gurbaani as IKu is some other word which we have never paid attention so far and that word is EKANKAAR. This is clear from a Quote from SUKHMANI SAHIB Ji as:

"KAEE BAAR PASREO PAASAAR, SADAA SADAA IKu EKANKAAR"

If we look at the grammar of the word GOD we find that the word GOD is SINGULAR {Male gender}, therefore this can not be used to refer the word ONKAAR which is gramatically PLURAL.

We can notice that all the NOUN/ADJECTIVE words in Gurbaani are classified as SINGULAR or PLURAL and this has been indicated by a Matra AUKAND {a single line } under the last letter of any NOUN/ADJECTIVE words of Gurbaani. Accordingly the word ONKAAR is PLURAL. Its SINGULAR is the word ONKAARu. It is thus clear from above consideration that the use of word GOD as reference to any Gurbaani NOUN /ADJECTIVE is incorrect. Here it may please be noted that we are not against the word GOD. This is a very good word but its use in Gurbaani interpretation is a matter of concern.

Pronunciation And Meaning Of The Very First Symbol In Gurbani

The very first symbol in Gurbani consists of three distinct references -

1. numerical no: 1

2. word OM

3. a curved line indication for the waves

therefore this symbol is represented as:

ੴ

It is very important to know the correct pronunciation and meaning of this symbol. As a matter of fact the whole understanding of Gurbani is related to the correct knowledge of reference meaning of this symbol. Generally we find that this symbol is pronounced as IK-ONKAAR or EK-ONKAAR. We have never tried to verify its pronunciation from within Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In pronouncing this symbol we treat numerical no: 1 as separate IK or EK and we combine the word OM with KAAR seperately pronounced as ONKAAR and therefore we get the pronunciation as IK or EK ONKAAR

From Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji we find that there is no such pronunciation as IK or EK ONKAAR. However we do come across a word EKANKAAR in several verses of Gurbani, we must therefore deliberate this pronunciation for the symbol. If we analyse this word EKANKAAR we would find that numerical no: 1 and the word OM are together as EKOM and KAAR is to be referred as EKOM-KAAR.

Meaning Of The Symbol:

From above it is clear that the meaning of the symbol is related to EKOM and KAAR. EKOM is referred as SHABADU and this SHABADU has also been referred as Guroo. So EKOM is Shabadu Guroo and since KAAR is the indication of the waves therefore the meaning of symbol is the waves of the word Guroo or Shabadu Guroo Joti.

Grammar Pattern Used In Gurbani

For better and correct understanding of Gurbani it is important to understand the pattern of grammar of language. It has been observed that for adjective and noun words the pattern is based on Sanskrit grammar. In Sanskrit pattern of grammar the words have been classified as -

1. singular (dual no:)

2. singular (single no:)

3. plural

Once we understand the reference meaning of the words as per above pattern we can get more clear understanding of Gurbani. For example we come across certain words like Saadh Saadhu and Saadhoo, Prabh Prabhu and Prabhoo, Gur Guru and Guroo. Let us take into consideration Saadh Saadhu and Sadhoo, here Saadhoo is singular (dual no:), Saadhu is singular (single no:) and Saadh is plural.

Since reference meanings are different for all the three forms therefore this understanding is important to know the true message of Gurbani. It has been observed that nearly 70% of the Gurbani words appear in the above pattern of grammar. Therefore most of the understanding of Gurbani is obviously related to the knowing of the reference meaning of words in this pattern.

Understanding The True Message Of Gurbani

We all read Gurbani without knowing what is to be known from Gurbani. Infact Gurbani deals with complete spectrum of various aspects of person's life with apropriate guidance to lead the life according to the various principles mentioned therein. Many of us read Gurbani just to get the physical benefits which a common man normally requires.

By reading and listening to Gurbani one can surely attain the fulfillment of his wishes and the quantum of the fulfillment of the wishes depends on the person's status of connection with Gurbani. The actual aim of reading and listening of Gurbani is beyond fulfillment of wishes and this aim is to get the knowledge of Gurmat Ram Naamu. If one has not attained the knowledge of this Naamu all the attempts are of no use.
