ਕੱਤਕ ਦੇ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਲਈ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਵਲੋਂ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ । Guru Ji's instructions for the month of 'Katak'

 katik karam kamaav-ne dosh na kaa-hoo jog.

In the month of Katak, (Guru Ji gives the holy teachings that) whatever actions one does, do not try to blame anyone else (for the result of those actions).

 

par-mesar te bhuli-aa(n) vi-aapan sabh-e rog.

(The reason for this is that) by forgetting (to remember) the Supreme Lord, all sorts of suffering and illnesses take effect on us.

 

ve-mukh ho-e raam te lagan janam vi-jog.

Those (ego-centred people) who remain with their backs turned from the Lord shall become distanced and separated from the Lord for (many) lives.

 

khin meh kourr-e ho-e ge-e, jit-rre maayaa bhog.

(The main point is that) all the sensual pleasures of Maya (worldly distractions that take away from spirituality) will in an instant (i.e. in a short while) turn bitter (i.e. give us suffering).

 

vich na ko-ee kar sak-ai, kis thai ro-veh roj.

(Whilst suffering because of our own actions) no one else can act as an intermediary (to erase our karma). (For this reason) what use is it turning to others and crying to them daily?

 

kee-taa kichh-oo na ho-vaee likhi-aa dhur sanjog.

We are born with the destiny that is written based on our previous good and bad karma. Nothing can be done about this (by the suffering soul who has to deal with the consequences of its own actions).

 

vad-bhaagee meraa prabh mil-ai, taa(n) ut-reh sabh bi-og.

(But) if one has good fortune and meets God then the separation and distance with God caused through our countless lives comes to an end.

 

naa-nak ko prabh raakh leh, mere saa-hib band-ee moch.

(Pray and request the Lord –) “O Lord Master! Please protect me and release the shackles of attachment to Maya (worldly distractions that take us away from spirituality).

 

katik ho-vai saadh-sang bin-seh sabh-e soch. ||9||

(The conclusion is that if) in (the month of) Katak you keep the Company of the Holy-Guru, then all of your anxieties will vanish. ||9||
