Ik Onkar



ik onkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbh-a-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhn gur parsaad


There is but one God. True is His Name, creative His personality and immortal His form. He is without fear sans enmity, unborn and self-illumined. By the Guru's grace He is obtained.
Exista dar un singur Dumnezeu. Adevarat este Numele Sau, creativa personalitatea sa si nemuritoare forma Sa. El este cel fara teama fara dusmanie, nenascut si auto-iluminat. El este dobandit prin voia/gratia Guru-lui.
jap.
Embrace His meditation.
Imbratisati meditatia sa.

aad sach jugaad sach.
True in the prime, True in the beginning of ages,
Adevar inainte de toate, Adevar la inceputul vremurilor,

hai bhee sach naanak hosee bhee sach.
True He is even now and True He verily, shall be, O Nanak!
Adevarat este chiar acum si Adevarat va fi, oh, Nanak!

sochai soch naa hov-a-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.
By pondering on God, man cannot have a conception of Him, even though he may ponder over lacs of times.
Gandind la Dumnezeu, omul nu il poate concepe pe El, chiar daca se gandeste de-a lungul veacurilor.

chupai chup naa hov-a-ee jay laa-i rahaa liv taar.
Even though one be silent and remains absorbed in Lord's constant love he obtains not mind's silence.
Chiar daca omul ramane tacut si ramane absorbit de iubirea constanta a lui Dumnezeu, el nu obtine linistea (Pacea) mintii.

bhukhi-aa bhukh naa utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar.
The hunger of the hungry departs not, even though they may pile up loads of the world's valuables.
Foamea infometatilor nu trece, chiar daca acestia isi fac stive cu valorile lumii.

sehas si-aanpaa lakh hoh taa ik naa chalai naal.
Man may possess thousands and lacs of wits, but not even one (goes with him) avails him in the Lord's court.
Omul poate poseda bogatii nemasurate, dar nici macar una nu il insoteste la curtea Domnului

kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal.
How can we be true and how can the screen of untruth be rent?
Cum putem avea dreptate si cum poate imaginea neadevarului sa fie sfasiata?


hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal.
O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will.
O, Nanak! Supunandu-ne, la ordinea predestinata a vointei Domnului.

India Arie - Video

By God's will I came across a song that I think was created for me! It is the song I will always listen when I'm confused, when I feel the world being against me. It's a song about colors, about love, about love for the self and therefore, for others.




Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie

Faith, Love, Hope, by Gurdjieff

Faith of consciousness is freedom
Faith of feeling is weakness
Faith of body is stupidity.


Love of consciousness evokes the same in response
Love of feeling evokes the opposite
Love of body depends on type and polarity.


Hope of consciousness is strength
Hope of feeling is slavery
Hope of body is disease.


Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, p. 361 (found in: An approach to the teaching left by Gurdjieff, Toward Awakening, Jean Vaysse, p. 1)
