Ang 1Vaar 1Bhai Gurdas

ਫਿਰਿ ਜੈਮਨਿ ਰਿਖੁ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਜੁਜਰਿ ਵੇਦਿ ਮਥਿ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ।

fir jaiman rikh boliaa jujar ved math kathaa sunaavai |

Pondering deeply over the Yajurveda, rishi Jaimini putforth his postulates.

ਕਰਮਾ ਉਤੇ ਨਿਬੜੈ ਦੇਹੀ ਮਧਿ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਪਾਵੈ ।

karamaa ute nibarrai dehee madh kare so paavai |

Ultimate decision will be arrived at according to the actions performed through the body which will reap whatever it has sowed.

ਥਾਪਸਿ ਕਰਮ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਰਮ ਵਾਸ ਕਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਵੈ ।

thaapas karam sansaar vich karam vaas kar aavai jaavai |

He established the theory of karma and explained transmigration as controlled by karma.

ਸਹਸਾ ਮਨਹੁ ਨ ਚੁਕਈ ਕਰਮਾਂ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਵੈ ।

sahasaa manahu na chukee karamaan andar bharam bhulaavai |

Because of its fallacy of ad-infinitum, the doubts are cleared and the jiv goes on wandering in the labyrinth of karmas.

ਕਰਮਿ ਵਰਤਣਿ ਜਗਤਿ ਕੀ ਇਕੋ ਮਾਇਆ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕਹਾਵੈ ।

karam varatan jagat kee iko maaeaa braham kahaavai |

Karma is a practical aspect of the world and the maya and the Brahm are identical.

ਜੁਜਰਿ ਵੇਦਿ ਕੋ ਮਥਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਤਤ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਭਰਮੁ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ।

jujar ved ko mathan kar tat braham vich bharam milaavai |

This school of thought (Shastra) while stirring the ingredients of Yajurveda, mixes delusions with the supreme reality the Brahm,

ਕਰਮ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇ ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਰਮਿ ਬੰਧਿ ਕਰਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਵੈ ।

karam drirraae jagat vich karam bandh kar aavai jaavai |

And establishes strongly the ritualism which further accepts coming in and going from the world as the result of the karma bondage.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਿਨਾ ਨ ਸਹਸਾ ਜਾਵੈ ।੧੦।

satigur binaa na sahasaa jaavai |10|

Without the true Guru, the doubts cannot be dispelled away.
