✨ Daily Hukamnama Reflection – SGGS Ang 479 ✨
ਮੇਰੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਕਰਤੇ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਇਓ ॥
ਸਾਇਰੁ ਸੋਖਿ ਭੁਜੰ ਬਲਇਓ ॥
मेरी मेरी करते जनमु गइओ ॥
साइरु सोखि भुजं बलइओ ॥
Merī merī karṯe janam gaio.
Sāir sokẖ bẖujaʼn balio.
🌿 Meaning:
Punjabi:
“ਮੇਰਾ, ਮੇਰਾ” ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਜੀਵਨ ਬੀਤ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਜਿਸ ਸਰੀਰਕ ਤਾਕਤ ਅਤੇ ਸਮਰੱਥਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਉਹ ਮਾਣ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਵੀ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਘਟਦੀ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਖ਼ਤਮ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
English:
Life passes away while a person remains absorbed in “mine, mine.” The strength and power in which we place our pride gradually fade away with time.
Hindi:
“मेरा, मेरा” करते हुए मनुष्य का जीवन बीत जाता है। जिस शारीरिक शक्ति और सामर्थ्य पर वह अभिमान करता है, वह भी समय के साथ घटती और अंततः समाप्त हो जाती है।
💫 Reflection:
This Shabad gives us a powerful reminder about attachment, ego, and the passing nature of life.
So much of our time can be spent thinking, “This is mine” — my wealth, my possessions, my achievements, my position, my family, my strength. Yet Gurbani reminds us that everything we call our own is temporary.
Even the strength of the body, which can make us feel powerful and independent, gradually fades with time. What seems permanent today may be gone tomorrow.
Guru Sahib is not telling us to abandon our responsibilities or stop caring for what has been entrusted to us. Rather, Gurbani teaches us not to become possessed by our possessions.
We can work, provide for our families, build something meaningful, and enjoy Waheguru’s blessings — while remembering that ultimately everything belongs to Him.
When the constant feeling of “mine” begins to loosen, gratitude grows. Ego becomes lighter, attachment becomes weaker, and we begin to recognise what truly remains valuable: Naam, good deeds, humility, love, and our connection with Waheguru.
Life is precious. Let us not spend it only collecting what we cannot keep.
🌼 Message for Today:
Value what you have, but do not let “mine” rule your heart — everything is temporary, while your connection with Waheguru is the true treasure.
