ਗਗਨ ਦਮਾਮਾ ਬਾਜਿਓ ਪਰਿਓ ਨੀਸਾਨੈ ਘਾਉ ॥
ਖੇਤੁ ਜੁ ਮਾਂਡਿਓ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਅਬ ਜੂਝਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਉ ॥
गगन दमामा बाजिओ परिओ नीसानै घाउ ॥
खेतु जु मांडिओ सूरमा अब जूझन को दाउ ॥
Gagan ḏamāmā bājio pario nīsānai gẖāo.
Kẖeṯ jo māʼndio sūrmā ab jūjẖan ko ḏāo.
🌿 English Meaning
The battle-drum beats in the sky of the mind; the target has been struck. The spiritual warriors have entered the battlefield — now is the time to struggle and fight.
🌼 ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਅਰਥ
ਮਨ ਦੇ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਅੰਦਰ ਲੜਾਈ ਦਾ ਨਗਾਰਾ ਵੱਜ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਚੋਟ ਲੱਗ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਹੈ। ਸੱਚਾ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਤਰ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ; ਹੁਣ ਆਪਣੇ ਅੰਦਰਲੇ ਵਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਜੂਝਣ ਅਤੇ ਸੱਚ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਡਟਣ ਦਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੈ।
🌺 हिंदी अर्थ
मन के आकाश में युद्ध का नगाड़ा बज रहा है और निशाने पर चोट लग चुकी है। सच्चा आध्यात्मिक योद्धा मैदान में उतर चुका है; अब अपने भीतर के विकारों से संघर्ष करने और सत्य के मार्ग पर दृढ़ रहने का समय है।
✨ Reflection
Today's Hukamnama presents a powerful image of the spiritual warrior entering the battlefield.
At first, these words may appear to describe a physical battle. But Gurbani also directs our attention towards one of the most demanding battles of human life — the struggle taking place within our own mind.
Every day we encounter forces that can pull us away from our spiritual centre: ego, anger, greed, attachment, uncontrolled desire, jealousy, fear and pride. Sometimes these enemies are easier to recognise in others than within ourselves.
Guru Sahib calls upon us to become spiritual warriors.
A spiritual warrior does not run away when the inner struggle becomes difficult. Through Naam Simran, Gurbani, Seva, Sangat and discipline, the Sikh learns to recognise these inner weaknesses and gradually overcome them.
Courage in Gurbani is therefore much deeper than physical strength. It is the courage to stand for truth when compromise is easier; to forgive when anger feels natural; to remain humble when ego wants recognition; and to remember Waheguru when the mind wants to wander.
“ਅਬ ਜੂਝਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਉ” — now is the opportunity to struggle.
Guru Sahib reminds us that spiritual transformation should not continually be postponed. The battlefield is already before us, and this human life is our opportunity to overcome what separates the mind from Waheguru.
🙏 Message for Today
Ask yourself today: What is the battle within me that I need to face?
Perhaps it is anger, ego, attachment, resentment, fear or another habit that repeatedly disturbs your peace.
Do not be discouraged by the struggle. Face it through Naam, Gurbani and Guru Sahib's guidance.
ਖੇਤੁ ਜੁ ਮਾਂਡਿਓ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਅਬ ਜੂਝਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਉ ॥
May Guru Sahib bless us with the courage of a spiritual warrior, the humility to recognise our weaknesses and the strength to remain steadfast on the path of truth. 🙏
