Guru HarGobind Sahib Ji’s darbar was going on. Guru Sahib addressed the sangat and asked if anyone could recite shudh paath of Sri Japji Sahib. For some time there was a complete silence but then Bhai Gopaala Ji got up and with his hands folded did benti that he would attempt to recite shudh paath of Sri Japji Sahib.
Guru Sahib made him sit on a place higher than his. Bhai Gopaala Ji with great devotion and love started doing the paath of Sri Japji Sahib. He did paath with total concentration and by the kirpa of Guru Ji, no other thought came to his mind.
The whole sangat was sitting with closed eyes, listening to the maha mantra, Sri Japji Sahib. He recited sunan waaliyaan pauriyaan, then mannan waaliyaan pauriyaan and when he arrived at “teerath tap daya datt daan”, Guru Sahib decided to give him Gur-Gaddi for such shudh paath.
Bhai Gopaala Ji who was doing paath with utmost concentration, had a furnaa (thought) come to his mind, as he reached “Nanak Nadri Nadar Nihaal”. He thought that if Guru Sahib asked him to ask for something, he would ask for one of the 5 horses that Guru Sahib has. Four of those five great horses had been distributed to Bhai Bidhi Chand Ji, Painde Khaan, Guru Sahib himself and Bhai Jetha Ji. Only one was left to be given and Bhai Gopaala Ji wanted that horse.
At the bhog of the paath, Guru Sahib gave Bhai Gopaala Ji a lot of love and ordered one of his Sikhs to give Bhai Gopaala Ji the new horse. Then he mentioned that he was preparing to give him Gur-Gaddi, if he had not thought of the horse.
This saakhi is great and we can learn a lot from it:
1) Anything can be attained with shudh paath, with concentration. So it is a must that we learn santhiya and do shudh paath.
2) Sri Japji Sahib is a maha mantra and just one paath can get one anything one wants.
