ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੪੧੪ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #414

ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਸ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਟ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਦੀ ਬਰਕਤਿ ਨਾਲ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਸ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਟ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਆਤਮਕ ਗੁਣਾਂ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤੀ ਲਈ ਦੌੜ-ਭੱਜ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤੇ (ਆਪਣੇ ਅੰਦਰੋਂ ਨਾਮ-ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਾਲ) ਔਗੁਣ ਧੋ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਯਕੀਨੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ) ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਦੱਸੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ (ਔਗੁਣਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਖ਼ਲਾਸੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੀ, ਤੇ) ਅਡੋਲ ਆਤਮਕ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਦੀ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਗੁਰੂ-ਸਰਾਫ਼ ਜਿਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਮੇਹਰ ਦੀ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਨਾਲ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਹੈ ਉਹ ਨਿਹਾਲ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੋਤੀ (ਵਰਗਾ ਸੁੱਚਾ) ਮਨ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਹੀਰਾ ਜਵਾਹਰ ਤੇ ਲਾਲ ਉਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਰਾਸਿ-ਪੂੰਜੀ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।



गुरु की श्रेष्ठ संगति की इनायत से मनुष्य श्रेष्ठ जीवन वाला बन जाता है, आत्मिक गुणों की प्राप्ति के लिए दौड़-भाग करता है और (अपने अंदर से नाम-अमृत की सहायता से) अवगुणों को धो देता है। (ये बात यकीनन है कि) गुरु द्वारा बताई हुई सेवा किए बिना (अवगुणों से निजात नहीं मिलती, और) अडोल आत्मिक अवस्था नहीं मिलती। हे नानक! गुरु-सर्राफ जिस मनुष्य को मेहर की नजर से देखता है वह निहाल हो जाता है, मोती (जैसा सुच्चा-स्वच्छ) मन परमात्मा का नाम हीरा-जवाहर और लाल उस मनुष्य की राशि-पूंजी बन जाती है।
