✨ Daily Hukamnama Reflection – SGGS Ang 5 ✨
ਕੇਤੇ ਲੈ ਲੈ ਮੁਕਰੁ ਪਾਹਿ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਮੂਰਖ ਖਾਹੀ ਖਾਹਿ ॥
ਕੇਤਿਆ ਦੂਖ ਭੂਖ ਸਦ ਮਾਰ ॥ ਏਹਿ ਭਿ ਦਾਤਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਦਾਤਾਰ ॥
केते लै लै मुकरु पाहि ॥ केते मूरख खाही खाहि ॥
केतिआ दूख भूख सद मार ॥ एहि भि दाति तेरी दातार ॥
Keṯe lai lai mukar pāhi. Keṯe mūrakẖ kẖāhī kẖāhi.
Keṯiā ḏūkẖ bẖūkẖ saḏ mār. Ėhi bẖė ḏāṯ ṯerī ḏāṯār.
🌿 Meaning (English):
So many receive again and again, yet deny the Giver. So many foolishly continue consuming without gratitude. Others endure suffering, hunger, and hardship. O Great Giver, even these experiences exist within Your Divine giving and Hukam.
🌿 ਅਰਥ (Punjabi - Gurmukhi):
ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਜੀਵ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਤੋਂ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਦਾਤਾਂ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਦਾਤਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਭੁਲਾ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਕਈ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਦੇ ਭੋਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੱਗੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਦਕਿ ਕਈ ਦੁੱਖ, ਭੁੱਖ ਅਤੇ ਕਲੇਸ਼ ਸਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਹੇ ਦਾਤਾਰ! ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇ ਇਹ ਵੱਖ-ਵੱਖ ਅਨੁਭਵ ਵੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਹੁਕਮ ਅੰਦਰ ਹੀ ਹਨ।
🌿 अर्थ (Hindi):
अनेक जीव परमात्मा से बार-बार दातें प्राप्त करते हैं, फिर भी दाता को भूल जाते हैं। कुछ बिना संतोष के भोगों में लगे रहते हैं, जबकि अनेक दुःख, भूख और कठिनाइयाँ सहते हैं। हे दातार! जीवन के ये विभिन्न अनुभव भी आपके हुक्म के भीतर हैं।
💫 Reflection:
Guru Sahib presents a powerful picture of human life. Some receive countless blessings yet forget the Giver. Others continue wanting and consuming without ever feeling satisfied, while many live through circumstances of hardship and deprivation.
This Hukamnama encourages us to recognise how easily abundance can become invisible when we stop practising gratitude. The more we receive, the more we may begin to treat our blessings as something we are simply entitled to.
At the same time, Gurbani teaches us humility before the vastness of Hukam. Life does not unfold equally for everyone, and we cannot understand every circumstance. Our response should be gratitude for what we have, compassion for those who struggle, and remembrance of Waheguru through both comfort and difficulty.
🌼 Message for Today:
Do not become so accustomed to your blessings that you forget the Giver. Live with gratitude, practise contentment, and share with those in need.
