The first composition of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji

According to Bhai Harbans Singh ji the pauris was written by Satguru Nanak at different times and then compiled together.

Meanings

According to the Khalsa: translations of Gurbani should not be read.

Word by word vocabulary could be learnt so you can put together the sentences by yourself.

Or reading teekas which are commentaries on lines rather than translations.

Soch, pureness; you cannot be come pure if you try 1 lakh times

You cannot loose your hunger even if you had a ton of food with you.

If you had 1 lakh smart ways of doing things and smart techniques none will go with you in the end.

So how can one get rid of falseness. By following hukam, the divine commandment, the natural way of things, the unchangeable prememt.

Hukam: the way things seems to be going.

Even if you cheat hukam the next moment it will catch up to you and correct.
