There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

This universe is dynamic – ever changing. Nothing here stays forever. Everything we see is changeful, fleeting, impermanent, ephemeral, or perishable. Nothing our physical eyes can see in it is ageless (…ਜੋ ਦੀਸੈ ਚਲਣਹਾਰੁ: Jo deesai chalanahaaru (sggs 31).
The Gurbani tells us there is the ageless Hukam (Divine Order; Cosmic Order; Divine Command; Eternal Law…) in the Universe.
The thought of “Hukam” is very essential part of the the Gurbani’s Teaching. Accordingly, Baabaa Nanak made it very clear in the outset of the SGGS that everything and everybody is subject to this Divine “Hukam“, whether we know it not.
•ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥: Hukamai andar isabhu ko baahari hukam n koi: Everyone is subject to Hukam; no one is beyond (exempt or outside of) Hukam. (sggs 1).
Other aspects of the Divine “Hukam” as indicated in the Gurbani include: a) It is all prevailing; b) It is beyond any mundane description; c) it must be obeyed or accepted (ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣਾਂ)…
Those who live the Hukam (ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣਾਂ) are called Gurmukhs (the followers of Truth, whose mind is linked to Antar-Aatmaa or whose Akal – ਅਕਲ – follows Gurbani and restrains the mind instead of following the mind, Sach Santokhee, his state is that of “Ik Mann Ik Chit“, ਮਾਇਆ ਵਿਚ ਉਦਾਸੀ…).
Those who don’t do the Hukam or oppose (ਵਿਰੋਧ-ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀ ਚਲਣਾਂ) the Hukam are called Manmukhs (the deniers of Truth, whose mind escapes through senses and run after sense-objects or whose Akal follows the mind’s dictates, ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜਿਆ…).
These two different groups of people live together on earth. However, the Gurbani asks us to become the Gurmukhs and do the Hukam (ਚਾਲਹਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ॥: Chaalahi Gurmukhi hukami rajaaee, sggs 227).
But how can one do the Lord’s “Hukam” (“Bhaanaa Mannanaa...” )? To be abided in “Hukam” is accepting life as it presents to oneself. It is simply saying “Yes, I accept” (ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣਾਂ). In other words, it is just accepting one’s all joy and suffering as the Supreme Lord’s Hukam or Bhaanaa…
•ਸੋਈ ਸਿਆਣਾ ਸੋ ਪਤਿਵੰਤਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਲਗੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥: Soee siaanaa so pativantaa hukam lagai jis meethaa jeeou: Only that person is wise and honorable, unto whom the Hukam seems sweet (sggs 108).
We all are endowed with Vivek-Budhi (an innate sense of right and wrong, discerning intellect, discriminating intellect…). Animals lack it. This is what separates us humans from animals. Therefore, we humans carry tremendous responsibility to abide by the Hukam. (ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮੈ ਰਾਮ ਕਹੁ ਕਹਿਬੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਬਿਬੇਕ ॥, sggs 1374 ).
In nutshell, to live, obey, accept or do the Hukam is simply living according to the Gurmat (Gur-Giaan, Divine Wisdom of the Gurbani…) – using our senses or physical receptors according to the Gurmat, Gur-Giaan, Shabad-Giaan…
To put it otherwise, to abide in the Divine Hukam is, in essence, the same as to be connected to His Shabad, Naam or Bani. In other words, understanding of Hukam is the Realization of Gur-Shabad, Naam or Bani. As the Gurbani tells us, to realize Hukam, one has to become the Gurmukh.
•ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਛਾਣੁ ॥੮॥: Gur kai sabadi Hukamu pachhaanu ||8||: Through the Guru-Shabad, recognize the Hukam. ||8|| (sggs 223).
•ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਆ ਬੁਝਾਇ ਜੀਉ ॥੫॥: Eko Naamu Hukamu hai Nanak satguru deeaa bujhaai jeeou ||5||: O Nanak! The Satguru has given me this Understanding that the (Lord’s) One Naam is the Hukam (ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਜਪਣਾ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਹੈ). ||5|| (sggs 72).
•ਸਚਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਣਿਆ ॥: Sachaa taeraa hukam Gurmukh jaaniaa: True is the Divine Hukam, and it is known to the Gurmukh (sggs 144).

First, the Gurbani is meant to be thoroughly understood through the sincere Shabad-Vichaar.
•ਏਨਾ ਅਖਰਾ ਮਹਿ ਜੋ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੂਝੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਿਰਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੨॥: Enaa akharaa mahi jo gurmukhi boojhai tisu siri lekhu n hoee ||2||: By becoming the Gurmukh, who understands (the Mool-ਮੂਲ, Aatm-Giaan…) through these letters, no accounting (of Bikaars…) is due from him. ||2|| (sggs 432).
In other words, it is not meant to be wrapped up in the designers Rumaalaas and worshipped as an idle!!
•ਬਿਨੁ ਬੂਝੇ ਪਸੂ ਭਏ ਬੇਤਾਲੇ ॥੬॥: Binu boojhai pasu bhaye betaale ||6||: Without understanding, people become beast (-nature) and demon ||6|| (sggs 224).
After understanding the Gurbani (Gurmat, Gurbani’s Giaan-ਸੂਝ ਬੂਝ…), it is emphasized in the Gurbani that the Giaan (Divine Knowledge, Spiritual Wisdom, Aatam-Giaan, Shabad-Giaan, Gur-Giaan...) obtained from the Gurbani be constantly remembered, believed, and lived – applied to daily life.
Thus, Amal or Karanee (ਅਮਲ, ਕਰਣੀ, application, implementation, administration, conduct…) is very important to the Gurbani. For without Amal or Karanee, understanding is “deficient”.
•ਕਰਣੀ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਘਟੇ ਘਟਿ ॥: Karanee baajhahu ghate ghat: Without “ਕਰਣੀ”-Karanee, (understanding) becomes more and more deficient (sggs 25).
If a person is ill, his mere reading of the medicine’s label without administering the medicine will not cure him. In order to be cured of the disease and related pain and suffering, one has to take the medicine and stop mere reading of its label. Similarly, the Gurbani is only meant to be applied. Mere reading of it or listening to its recitations will not cure us from our psychological illness.
•ਕਰਣੀ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਰੈ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥: Karanee baajhahu tarai na koi: Without “Karanee”, no one crosses over (“terrifying world-ocean” or Sansaar) (sggs 952).
More or less, we are all sick. The false ego-sense (Haumai) is our chronic disease. Instructions of the Gurbani are like a medicine. Until it is diligently applied to the mind, its mere reading will not have much effect on the healing process.
One may be able to gain all sorts of knowledge by reading the Gurbani (or any other scriptures for that matter), however, the knowledge without applying (Amal, Karanee-ਅਮਲ, ਕਰਣੀ) it to one’s daily life is empty as married life to an eunuch! One can appease his hunger only by taking food. If he does not make effort to take food, or if he just sits there on account of his fate, he is sure to die of starvation! Similarly, if we desire to rid of our chronic disease of false ego (Haume), The Gurbani urges we must apply the Divine Teaching of the Gurbani (Gurmat, Aatam-Giaan…).
•ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਿੰਦੁੜੀਏ ਤੇ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੂੜ ਇਆਣੇ ਰਾਮ ॥: Jin hari hari naamu na chetio meree jindurreeae te manmukh moorr iaane raam: Those who do not remember (i.e., apply…) the Name (i.e., Giaan or Divine Knowledge obtained after Understanding the Gurbani…), O my soul – those Manmukhs (self-willed…) are foolish and ignorant. (sggs 540).
