One of the best ways to learn how to recite Japji is to listen to and read along with someone else reciting it. Need to practice your pronunciation of Japji Sahib? O Nanak, one who understands the Divine Command Living in the Hukam, we understand the Siri Singh Sahib when he said, “All things come from God and all things go to God”….Įnjoy this beautiful recitation of the 2nd Pauree from Wahe Guru Kaur (WHA!), courtesy of the SikhNet Gurbani Media Center: īy the Divine Command, bodies are created,īy the Divine Command, souls come into being,īy the Divine Command, glory and greatness are obtained.īy the Divine Command, some are high and some are low,īy the written Divine Command, pain and pleasure are obtained.īy the Divine Command some are blessed and forgiven,īy the Divine Command others wander aimlessly forever.Įveryone is subject to the Divine Command, We gain an attitude of gratitude for all that happens, both the good and the bad. When we are fully present we see the Truth and this humbles us. Living in the Hukam is being fully present in the here and now – no illusion, no fantasy, no duality – living in alignment with the flow of the Divine. “Everyone is subject to Divine Order no one is beyond Divine Order.” Guru Nanak shows us the absolute authority of the Hukam over all things, seen and unseen, known and unknown, things of form and that which is formless. Guru Nanak says that everything is subject to the Hukam of the One none is outside it… Here in the Japji, Hukam also means the natural order of the universe.

He tells us Hukmee, which is from the word “Hukam” meaning command or order. In the second pauree, he explains the unlimited scope of that domain and states that by recognizing the command of the One, the ego, which holds us back from having the experience of consciousness, is sublimated. In the first pauree Guru Nanak introduces the importance of recognizing the Will of the One.
