Mind

• The mind sits behind the eyes

• Thoughts from two places Atam or Kall

• In this class we will only cover Kall

– Surti- a combination of consciousness and

concentration. Our surti is in the Pavan and when

its imbalanced we get Rago and Tamo thoughts.

– Budi is our intellect and helps us make decisions.

– Mat- is the way you learn to implement a decision

; usually the way you were taught.

• Kall has 5 sadars who work for him. We

call them lust, anger, greed, attachment

and pride but they take many forms to

preform their function.

– Farm-hands

– Duths- emissary or ambassador

– Thieves

– Thugs

– Rivers of Fire

Farm-Hands

• The body is the Farm

• The seed has been planted how we nourish it is the

question.

– Farm hands make sure that the day to day running of

a farm goes as smoothly as possible. They help the

farmer manage the different areas of the farm and are

responsible for performing numerous tasks

throughout a typical working day. Farm hands also

maintain this machinery, cleaning it regularly and

fixing it if necessary. They are also responsible for

maintaining the condition of the physical buildings of

the farm. Farm hands will be expected to help farmers

minimize the impact of the unpredictable nature of

farming upon their business and help mange the farm

through various seasons. (Taken from a really

description.)

Rago Gun • Hopes, Wishes, Desires, Anxieties and

Worries.

• Vichar- Discussion

• Phurna- Thoughts

• When you are planning a trip you sit down

talk about where to go, set aside a budget,

what you want to see who you want to

meet, where will you stay, what will you

eat ect.

• ਦੇਹੀ ਗਾਵਾ ਜੀਉ ਧਰ ਮਹਤਉ ਬਸਹਹ ਪੰਚ ਹਿਰਸਾਨਾ ॥ ਬਾਬਾ ਅਬ ਨ ਬਸਉ ਇਹ ਗਾਉ ॥ ਨੈਨੂ ਨਿਟੂ ਸਰਵਨੂ ਰਸਪਹਤ ਇੰਦਰੀ ਿਹਹਆ ਨ ਮਾਨਾ ॥੧॥ ਘਰੀ ਘਰੀ ਿਾ ਲੇਖਾ ਮਾਗੈ ਿਾਇਥੁ ਚੇਤੂ ਨਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਧਰਮ ਰਾਇ ਜਬ ਲੇਖਾ ਮਾਗੈ ਬਾਿੀ ਹਨਿਸੀ ਭਾਰੀ ॥ ਪੰਚ ਹਿਰਸਾਨਵਾ ਭਾਹਗ ਗਏ ਲੈ ਬਾਹਧਓ ਜੀਉ ਦਰਬਾਰੀ ॥੨॥

The body is a village, and the soul is the owner and

farmer; the five farm-hands live there.

The eyes, nose, ears, tongue and sensory organs of touch do not obey any

order. ||1||O father, now I shall not live in this village. The accountants

summoned Chitar and Gupat, to ask for an account of each and every

moment. ||1||Pause||When the Righteous Judge of Dharma calls for

my account, there shall be a very heavy balance against

me. The five farm-hands shall then run away,

and the bailiff shall arrest the soul. ||2||1104

ਮਾਇਆ ਮਹਹ ਿਾਲੁ ਅਰੁ ਪੰਚ ਦੂਤਾ ॥੩॥

Kall and the Five Dhuts

are in Maya. 1160 Kabir

ਰਜ ਗੁਣ ਤਮ ਗੁਣ ਸਤ ਗੁਣ ਿਹੀਐ ਇਹ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਭ ਮਾਇਆ ॥.

Raja gun; Tamo gun and Sato gun, are all called Maya. 1123

These Dhuts are know as Thieves or Thugs. When you don’t know how to protect yourself they steal food for your mind and your breath.

• Raj, Jat, Joebun, Roop, Mall.

• Power, Cast, Youth, Beauty, and Wealth

– Would you ever love someone who beat you up

and stole all your wealth

– If you had to be around them would you be reckless with your treasure?

– If your Parents gave you money would you spend it they way they recommended or the way that you would want?

Thieves ਇਸੁ ਦੇਹੀ ਅੰਦਹਰ ਪੰਚ ਚੋਰ ਵਸਹਹ ਿਾਮੁ ਿਰੋਧੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਅਹੰਿਾਰਾ ॥ Within this body dwell the

five thieves: sexual desire, anger, greed, emotional attachment and egotism. 600

ਹਹਰ ਸੰਹਗ ਸਹਾਈ ਮਹਾ ਮੀਤੁ ਹਤਸ ਹਸਉ ਤੇਰਾ ਭੇਦੁ ॥ ਬੀਧਾ ਪੰਚ ਬਟਵਾਰਈ ਉਪਹਜਓ ਮਹਾ ਖੇਦੁ ॥੩॥ The Lord is your Companion, your Helper, your Best Friend; but you

disagree with Him. You are in

love with the five thieves; this

brings terrible pain. ||3||815

ਹਹਰ ਠਗ ਜਗ ਿਉ ਠਗਉਰੀ ਲਾਈ ॥ The Lord is the thug, who

has drugged and robbed the

whole world. 331

ਿਹਹ ਿਬੀਰ ਠਗ ਹਸਉ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਹਨਆ ॥ ਗਈ ਠਗਉਰੀ ਠਗੁ ਪਹਹਚਾਹਨਆ ॥੩॥੩੯॥ Says Kabeer, my mind is pleased and satisfied with the thug. The effects

of the drug have vanished, since I

recognized the thug. 331

ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਰੇ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹੇਤ ॥ ਊਠਤ ਬੈਠਤ ਸੋਵਤੇ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਹਹਰ ਚੇਤ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ||1||Pause|| ਪੰਚ ਚੋਰ ਆਗੈ ਭਗੇ ਜਬ ਸਾਧਸੰਗੇਤ ॥ ਪੰੂਜੀ ਸਾਬਤੁ ਘਣੋ ਲਾਭੁ ਹਗਰਹਹ ਸੋਭਾ ਸੇਤ ॥੨॥

O Lord, Har Har Har, Har Har Haray, Har Har Har, I love You. While standing up, sitting down

and sleeping, think of the Lord, Har Har Har. The

five thieves run away, when one

joins the Company of the Holy.||2|| His investment is

intact, and he earns great profits; his

household is blessed with honor. ||2| 810

Rivers of Fire

Your breath flows out like a river and your

surit attached to that breath always goes in

to fire.

These 4 rivers make up the Bik Sagar

(Ocean of Posion).

– Huns- Cruelty

– Hath- Material Attachment (in love w/

something)

– Lob- Greed

– Kop- Anger

ਹੰਸੁ ਹੇਤੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਿੋਪੁ ਚਾਰੇ ਨਦੀਆ ਅਹਗ ॥ ਪਵਹਹ ਦਝਹਹ ਨਾਨਿਾ ਤਰੀਐ ਿਰਮੀ ਲਹਗ ॥੨॥ Cruelty, material

attachment, greed and anger are the

four rivers of fire. Falling into them,

one is burned, O Nanak! One is

saved only by holding tight to good deeds.

||2|| 147

ਮਨ ਿਮੀਨ ਿਮਤਰੀਨ ਤੂ ਦਰੀਆਉ ਖੁਦਾਇਆ ॥ I am meek and lowly; You are

the great river.

ਏਿੁ ਚੀਜੁ ਮੁਝੈ ਦੇਹਹ ਅਵਰ ਜਹਰ ਚੀਜ ਨ ਭਾਇਆ ॥ Please, bless me with the

one thing; everything else is

poison, and does not tempt me.1291
