Hukam
Hukam is a guidance taken from the Holy Book called Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This book gathers the wisdom in form of poetry of Sufi, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh masters and gurus. We asked for guidance in 2022 while we were meditating on the direction to give to our project.
This Hukam (message) is from Guru Ram Das, the fourth Guru of the Sikh tradition.
“Nanak has found peace, meditating on the Divine, O my soul; the Divine is the Destroyer of all pain. ||1||
Blessed, blessed is that tongue, O my soul, which sings the Glorious Praises of the Divine God. Sublime and splendid are those ears, O my soul, which listen to the Kirtan of the Divine’s Praises.
Sublime, pure and pious is that head, O my soul, which falls at the Guru’s Feet. Nanak is a sacrifice to that Guru, O my soul; the Guru has placed the Name of the Divine, Har, Har, in my mind. ||2||
Blessed and approved are those eyes, O my soul, which gaze upon the Holy True Guru. Sacred and sanctified are those hands, O my soul, which write the Praises of the Divine, Har, Har.
I worship continually the feet of that humble being, O my soul, who walks on the Path of Dharma – the intuitive path of faithfulness. Nanak is a sacrifice to those, O my soul, who hear of the Divine, and believe in the Divine’s Name. ||3||
The earth, the underworld, and the Akaashic ethers, O my soul, all meditate on the Name of the Divine, Har, Har. Wind, water and fire, O my soul, continually sing the Praises of the Divine, Har, Har, Har.
The woods, the meadows and the whole world, O my soul, chant with their mouths the Divine’s Name, and meditate on the Divine.
O Nanak, one who, as Gurmukh, focuses his consciousness on the Divine’s devotional worship – O my soul, he is robed in honour in the Court of the Divine.” ||4||
