ਸਤਿਕਾਰ ਯੋਗ ਲਵੀਂ ਵਿਰਕ ਜੀ,
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ।।
In reply to your question, the undersigned is quoting just two Pangtis from Baani of Bhagat Kabir ji and their meanings:-
ਬੰਦੇ ਖੋਜੁ ਦਿਲ ਹਰ ਰੋਜ ਨਾ ਫਿਰੁ ਪਰੇਸਾਨੀ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ ਇਹ ਜੁ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਸਿਹਰੁ ਮੇਲਾ ਦਸਤਗੀਰੀ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ (ਪੰਨਾ 727)
ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਆਪਣੇ ਹੀ) ਦਿਲ ਨੂੰ ਹਰ ਵੇਲੇ ਖੋਜ, (ਬਹਿਸ ਮੁਬਾਹਸੇ ਦੀ) ਘਬਰਾਹਟ ਵਿਚ ਨਾਹ ਭਟਕ। ਇਹ ਜਗਤ ਇਕ ਜਾਦੂ ਜਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ਇਕ ਤਮਾਸ਼ਾ ਜਿਹਾ ਹੈ, (ਇਸ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਇਸ ਵਿਅਰਥ ਵਾਦ-ਵਿਵਾਦ ਦੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ) ਹੱਥ-ਪੱਲੇ ਪੈਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਕੋਈ ਸ਼ੈ ਨਹੀਂ।੧।ਰਹਾਉ।
Kabir ji is guiding us to look within, every moment of life, instead of getting into arguments with others and consider this visible world as a jugglery/magic from which nothing is going to remain with you permanently.
When one starts looking within and changing one’s life for the better, then he/she will take steps to get rid of vices and will achieve emancipation/salvation in this life itself. As understood by the undersigned, this is, perhaps, the way to incorporate Sikh values and Gurbani’s teachings into daily life and live a more spiritual life, while doing one’s worldly duties.
Hope it helps. If you have any further questions, please do ask. If you find any deficiencies, please point out the same, for improvement in future.
Regards,
Your Brother
