Below is an image of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji.
First of all Happy Vaisakhi to those who are celebrating today.
The following ten stanzas detail the first shabad uttered by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to assist Gopal Pandhay free from the cycle of transmigration. The stanzas are numbered eleven to twenty from the sixth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. The translation is below;
ਪਾਂਧੇ ਨੇ ਹਕਾਰ ਲੀਨ ਬਾਲਨ ਤੇ ਜੁਦਾ ਕੀਨ, ਲੇਖੇ ਹੂੰ ਕੀ ਸੀਖ ਦੀਨਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਜਾਨ ਕੋ ।
ਤੂਸ਼ਨੀਕ ਭਏ, ਪਾਧਾ ਬਾਰ ਬਾਰ ਕਹੇ ਬਚ, 'ਕੈਸੇ ਤੂੰ ਨ ਬੋਲੈਂ ਅਜ ? ਸੁਨੈਂ ਦੇ ਨ ਕਾਨ ਕੋ ।
ਭਲੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਾਲ ਪੈੜੇ ਪਢ੍ਯੋ ਤੂੰ ਬਿਸਾਲ ਸਭਿ, ਤੈਸੇ ਅਬ ਪਢੋ ਹੇਰੋ ਔਰ ਲਰਕਾਨ ਕੋ ।
ਹੋਵੈਂ ਵਡੋ ਜਬ, ਪਢ੍ਯੋ ਕਾਜ ਆਵੈ ਤਬ ਅਬ ਖੇਲਨ ਮੈਂ ਜੀਉ ਤੇਰੋ ਖਾਇਂ ਛੂਛਕਾਨ ਕੋ ' ॥੧੧॥
Pandhay got all the children together in the school and then separated them all into different places. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was very bright and due to this he was given the education on numeracy. Pandhay is saying the numbers again and again but Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji remains quiet. Pandhay asked, “Why are you not speaking today as yesterday you were repeating everything but today you are not even listening. You should repeat the words as you did yesterday as the other children are doing. When you are older this education will be of great use to you. Your mind is wavering toward playing games and if you do so then I will punish you by hitting you with this stick.” 11
ਮਰਹਰੀ ਛੰਦ ।
ਸੁਨਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੌਨਨ ਬੈਨਾ, ਅਨੁਕੰਪੈਨਾ ਬਾਨੀ ਭਨੀ ਰਸਾਲ ।
'ਕ੍ਯਾ ਆਪ ਪਢੇ ਤੁਮ, ਕਰਿਹੋ ਨਿਜ ਸਮ ਕੈ ਲਾਹਾ ਲੈ ਸਾਲ ? ।
ਸੇਮੁਖੀ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਖਾ, ਕੋ ਭਲ ਲੇਖਾ ? ਪਾਂਧਾ ! ਮੋਹਿ ਬਤਾਇ ।
ਇਉਂ ਉੱਤਰ ਦੀਜੈ, ਮਨ ਸਮਝੀਜੈ ਪੀਛੈ ਮੁਝਹਿ ਪਢਾਹਿ ' ॥੧੨॥
Marhari Chand – After listening to Pandhay Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji said the beautiful words, “What have you actually learned? Are you trying to teach me the same as you to make me the same as you? What have you actually gained? What education is worth learning which one can take with them when they pass away? Please tell me about this and give me a reply so that my mind can be put at rest? After that you can educate me in anything you wish.” 12.
ਹੁਇ ਪਾਧਾ ਬਿਸਮੈ, ਅਧਭੁਤ ਰਸ ਮੈਂ ਆਨਨ ਬਚਨ ਅਲਾਇ ।
'ਸਭਿ ਜਾਨੌਂ ਗਿਨਤੀ, ਅਵਨੀ ਮਿਨਤੀ ਡੋਢੈ ਗਨਨ ਸਵਾਇ ।
ਧੌਂਚੇ ਪੁਨ ਊਂਠੈ, ਜੋਰਨ ਕੋਠੇ ਗ੍ਰਾਮ ਕਾਰ ਪਟਵਾਰ ।
ਜਿਸ ਕੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰੀ, ਰੋਜੀ ਥਾਰੀ ਪਢਹੁ ਨ ਕਿਉਂ ਹਿਤ ਧਾਰਿ ? ' ॥੧੩॥
Then Pandhay hearing this from Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was surprised and was filled with a strange sense of emotion. He then replied, “Through education you can learn all the knowledge of maths. You will learn all that is needed to know about weights and their values. Through this you will know all about addition of the weights. You will be able to do the work that is currently done by your household. Through this education your family are able to eat daily so why do you not happily learn this type of knowledge?” 13.
'ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਜੀ ਬਾਧਾ, ਸੁਨ ਸ਼੍ਰੁਤ ਪਾਧਾ ! ਫਾਹੇ ਪਰਨ ਅਪਾਰ ।
ਕਿਹ ਕਾਜ ਨ ਆਵਹਿ, ਜਬ ਦੁਖ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਹੋਤਿ ਨਹੀਂ ਛੁਟਕਾਰ ।
ਸਭਿ ਬੈਸ ਬਿਹਾਵਹਿ, ਪੁਨ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਹਿ ਜਬ ਜਾਵਹਿ ਜਮ ਦ੍ਵਾਰ ।
ਇਹ ਲੇਖਾ ਗਾਹੈ, ਛੁਟ੍ਯੋ ਜਿ ਚਾਹੈ, ਜੌ ਮੈਂ ਕਰੋਂ ਉਚਾਰ ' ॥੧੪॥
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji said, “O Gopal Pandhay listen to me. Due to the various practices you teach the soul of a being becomes trapped in the mortal world. Due to the attachment to the world later the soul is troubled by the angels of death. When a person is to go into the court of the Lord the soul will only feel pain and this education will not assist the soul. This will not be able tot prevent the pain caused by the angels of death. When a person goes through the majority of his life he begins to regret his earlier actions when they go to the abode of the angels of death. If one is to deliberate on what I am about to mention then can this account be changed. (Account of sins and merits accumulated in a birth).” 14.

ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲੁ ੧ ॥

ਕਵੀ ਕਹੈ 'ਯਾਂ ਕੋ ਸੁਨਿ ਟੀਕਾ । ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਨਿਕਸ੍ਯੋ ਕਲ ਪਦ ਨੀਕਾ ।

“For this reason Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji adopted a divine manifestation on the earth. From such a young age Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji started to assist the world with his divine words. At this age Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji should not have been revealing these divine words but did so as the world was uneasy and mentally disturbed by sin.” 17.
