Above is an image of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji.
Right we now start the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. I am going to just translate the initial stanza in this Adhyai and hopefully make some time later to add more. The first stanza in this Adhyai is based on two lines in the Sri Jap Ji Sahib. The lines are ਗੁਰੁ ਈਸਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਰਖੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬਤੀ ਮਾਈ ॥ and ਏਕਾ ਮਾਈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਵਿਆਈ ਤਿਨਿ ਚੇਲੇ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥ ਇਕੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੀ ਇਕੁ ਭੰਡਾਰੀ ਇਕੁ ਲਾਏ ਦੀਬਾਣੁ ॥ This stanza from the fifth Adhyai is the invocation and mirrors the sentiments laid out in the two lines from the Sri Jap Ji Sahib. The stanza is translated below;
Adhyai 05
ਕਬਿੱਤ ।
ਬਿਧਿ ਸੇ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਪ੍ਰਦ, ਹਰਿ ਸੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਪਾਲ ਸ਼ਿਵ ਸੇ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਨਾਸ਼ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਦਾਸ ਕੇ ।
ਸੀਤਕਰ ਜੈਸੇ ਸੀਤ ਕਰਿ ਸੋ ਬਿਸ਼ਾਗਨਿ ਤੇ ਤਿਮਰ ਹਰਨ ਸੇ ਤਿਮਰ ਮੋਹ ਫਾਂਸ ਕੇ ।
ਧਾਮ ਰਿਦੈ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਮੱਧ ਦੀਪਕ ਸੇ ਦੀਪ ਦਿਪੈ ਮਾਯਾ ਭਿੰਨ ਜੀਵ ਕੋ ਦਿਖਾਵੈਂ ਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ ਕੇ ।
ਚਰਨ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਕਰ ਪਰਨ, ਹਰਨ ਡਰ ਤਾਰਨ ਤਰਨ ਅਰਨਵ ਭਵ ਨਾਸ਼ ਕੇ ॥੧॥
Kabit – (This invocation to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to the details given on the fifth and thirtieth stanza of the Sri Jap Ji Sahib). Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Brahma and can propagate both the virtues of dispassion and knowledge in the heart of a devotee. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Vishnu in the way he nourishes the virtue of knowledge in the heart of the devotee. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Shiva in the way he destroys the vices in the heart of the devotee. In the way the moon is able to sooth with its rays so can Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji sooth the heat from the vices of sin in the heart of an individual. In the way the sun dispels darkness Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is able to dispel the noose of attachment from the heart of the devotee. In the way a diva can illuminate a room so can the light of knowledge Guru Nanak Dev Ji places in the mind of an individual. Once the mind becomes enlightened it eradicates Maya and one is able to see the truth about the existence. If a person is to adopt the shelter of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s feet then they will become liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the ship who can ferry a person across the worldly ocean to safety. 1.
