(above translation is from here: please don't hit me) Is from Sukhmani Sahib on Ang 268 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib: Nanak, Your slave, is forever surrendering to you. You alone know Your Existence and Vastness. That which has come from You is in Your will. The whole creation is strung on Your thread. O Highest of the High, Most Generous God, In Your Grace, we experience ultimate Peace! You are our mother and father and we are your children. This body and soul are all Your Belonging. You are our Master to You, I offer this humble prayer. Different Granthis sing different 'shabds/dohras'.thats just to PASS THE TIME.IMPRESS OTHERS with their repertoire of memorized shabads.and also mentally prepare themselves for the s usually SO KAHO TALL gur seveah.and is form the Bhatt Swaiyahs in SGGS.others just recite waheguru because thats all they 'memorized' ha !! Its to set the mood because removing the rumallahs takes a few seconds/minutes even if there are many layers.and the Granthi has to 'look' for the right shabad for the hukmanmah as per procedure. The British banned this from Harmandar sahib and even after independence from them its still banned !! Thus you wont hear it in the ardass at harmandar sahib.ģ. That is a DOHRA or few lines poem from a poet.and quoted differently in different versions.

You will NOTICE that Guur Arjun Ji joins US with THAKUR.the Creator in no uncertain or unambigious words.HE is THAKUR and HE is THE ONE addressed in ardass !!Ģ. What comes after that is NOT in SGGS.but from Chandi di vaar in dsm granth. THAT SHABAD.TUM THakur tum peh ARDASS is by Guru Arjun ji sahib and in SGGS as GURBANI and is the PREAMBLE to 'ardass'.
