Att Ucha Taa Kaa Darbaraa - Bhai Avtar Singh Jee

ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥
Sorat'h, Third Mehla:
ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਬਦੇ ਜਾਪਦਾ ਭਾਈ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥
The Dear Lord is realized through the Word of His Shabad, O Brothers, which is found only by perfect destiny.
ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਭਾਈ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਰਤੀਆ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥
The happy soul-brides are forever in peace, O Brothers; night and day, they are attuned to the Lord's Love. ||1||
ਹਰਿ ਜੀ ਤੂ ਆਪੇ ਰੰਗੁ ਚੜਾਇ ॥
O Dear Lord, You Yourself color us in Your Love.
ਗਾਵਹੁ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਿਹੋ ਭਾਈ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Sing, continually sing His Praises, imbued with His Love, O Brothers; be in love with the Lord. ||Pause||
ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਵਣੀ ਭਾਈ ਆਪੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ॥
Work to serve the Guru, O Brothers; abandon self-conceit, and focus your consciousness.
ਸਦਾ ਸਹਜੁ ਫਿਰਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਭਾਈ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥੨॥
You shall be in peace forever, and you shall not suffer in pain any longer, O Brothers; the Lord Himself shall come and abide in your mind. ||2||
ਪਿਰ ਕਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਈ ਭਾਈ ਸਾ ਕੁਲਖਣੀ ਕੁਨਾਰਿ ॥
She who does not know the Will of her Husband Lord, O Brothers, is an ill-mannered and bitter bride.
ਮਨਹਠਿ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਵਣੀ ਭਾਈ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕੂੜਿਆਰਿ ॥੩॥
She does things with a stubborn mind, O Brothers; without the Name, she is false. ||3||
ਸੇ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਭਾਇ ਸਚੈ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ॥
They alone sing the Lord's Praises, who have such pre-ordained destiny written upon their foreheads, O Brothers; through the Love of the True Lord, they find detachment.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੇ ਗੁਣ ਰਵਹਿ ਭਾਈ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਗੁਰ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੁ ॥੪॥
Night and day, they are imbued with His Love; they utter His Glorious Praises, O Brothers, and they lovingly focus their consciousness on the Fearless Guru. ||4||
ਸਭਨਾ ਮਾਰਿ ਜੀਵਾਲਦਾ ਭਾਈ ਸੋ ਸੇਵਹੁ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤਿ ॥
He kills and revives all, O Brothers; serve Him, day and night.
ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮਨਹੁ ਵਿਸਾਰੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਵਡੀ ਹੈ ਦਾਤਿ ॥੫॥
How can we forget Him from our minds, O Brothers? His gifts are glorious and great. ||5||
ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਮੈਲੀ ਡੁੰਮਣੀ ਭਾਈ ਦਰਗਹ ਨਾਹੀ ਥਾਉ ॥
The self-willed manmukh is filthy and double-minded, O Brothers; the finds no place of rest in the Court of the Lord.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਤ ਗੁਣ ਰਵੈ ਭਾਈ ਮਿਲਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਉ ॥੬॥
But if she becomes Gurmukh, then she chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord, O Brothers; the meets her True Beloved, and merges in Him. ||6||
ਏਤੁ ਜਨਮਿ ਹਰਿ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਭਾਈ ਕਿਆ ਮੁਹੁ ਦੇਸੀ ਜਾਇ ॥
In this life, she has not focused her consciousness on the Lord, O Brothers; how can she show her face when she leaves?
ਕਿੜੀ ਪਵੰਦੀ ਮੁਹਾਇਓਨੁ ਭਾਈ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਨੋ ਲੋਭਾਇ ॥੭॥
In spite of the warning calls which were sounded, she has been plundered, O Brothers; she yearned only for corruption. ||7||
ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਹਿ ਸੁਖਿ ਵਸਹਿ ਭਾਈ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਰੀਰ ॥
Those who dwell upon the Naam, O Brothers, their bodies are ever peaceful and tranquil.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ਤੂ ਭਾਈ ਅਪਰੰਪਰ ਗੁਣੀ ਗਹੀਰ ॥੮॥੩॥
O Nanak, dwell upon the Naam; the Lord is infinite, virtuous and unfathomable, O Brothers. ||8||3||

009 - Kirtan - Sog Shabads

Eaehu Kuttanb Thoo J Dhaekhadhaa Chalai Naahee Thaerai Naalae ||

Bin Gur Seve Bohut Dukh Paie

Throughout history, Kirtan has had a certain maryada to which the kirtani would respectfully adhere to. It's beleived that a shaan would be played according to the relevent raag to set the atmosphere and engage the sangat. Following to which a mangalacharan would be recited, this was a salutation to Akaal Purakh. These were done before the shabad was sung. This recording is a prime example of the puratan reet which would have been prominant in the darbar of Guru Gobind Singh Jee, which sadly is very rare to find now. This recording being just over 30 minutes long, many people have not got the pateinces or dicipline to concentrate on Gurbani Kirtan for this long, hence the decline of this type of kirtan. Whereas dhrupad kirtanis would do kirtan for hours at end. Dhrupad kirtan is something one can't listen to in the background, but something that needs to be listened to with concentration to be appreicitated. Its not for entertainment, but purely for spiritual develop
