Bhatt Sallh ji

Bhatt Sallh ji was the brother of Bhatt Kallh ji and his father Sokha was younger brother of Bhatt Bhikha ji. Bhatt Sallh ji also came with his uncle Bhikha ji to have spiritual contentment in the shelter of Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji. It will have to be admitted that the entire family of Bhatt Bhikha ji is worth praising. They all presented themselves to Guru ji’s divine shelter for the attainment of spiritual contentment. They wrote about their personal experiences and about their internal feelings which they felt after having glimpses of Satguru ji in order to guide humanity. Their written experiences are preserved by Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Bhatt ji writes in the praise of Guru Ram Das ji ,” You are the guru who can allow the whole world to be liberated. You yourself are Supreme God. All angels, ascetics, saints, gods and goddesses and Sikh disciples meditate your naam from the very beginning. From time immemorial, you are eternal and ever existent. Your power is present in all three ages. You give protection in Vedas, Shashtras. You are beyond old age and death. Guru Amar Das ji has made you permanent for ever. O Emperor of Sodhi’s! , Guru Ram Das ji you are free from any sort of restrictions and are capable of emancipating your disciples from this worldly ocean. Whoever comes to your holy shelter, cannot be overpowered by sins and angels of death. What wonderful power you possess. As stated on page 1406 :

You are the True Guru, throughout the four ages; You Yourself are the Transcendent Lord. The angelic beings, seekers, Siddhas and Sikhs have served You, since the very beginning of time. You are the Primal Lord God, from the very beginning, and throughout the ages; Your Power supports the three worlds. You are Inaccessible; You are the Saving Grace of the Vedas. You have conquered old age and death. Guru Amar Daas has permanently established You; You are the Emancipator, to carry all across to the other side. So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, You are the Destroyer of sins; I seek Your Sanctuary.

Bhatt Sallh ji, while describing the immense power of Great Guru ji says,” From ordinary people, to even the Great Rishis, Saints, and Ascetics no one could save themselves from the jaws of maya(mammon); but O Guru Ram Das ji ! instead of being affected by the base instincts, You have tied and restrained all the evil instincts of Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh , Hankaar (means lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride). Birth and death are under your control standing with folded hands in service. O Guru Ram das Ji, you have made a holy bridge of naam for your true disciples to cross the world ocean. You occupy the true divine throne by virtue of your spiritual pursuit of raj yog. A canopy of Guruship bestowed by Great Guru Nanak ji graces above your head. In the end Bhatt Sallh says,” O Guru Ram Das ji!, I am narrating the truth. Your are the master of eternal and enduring kingdom and chief of an undefeatable army.” What a beautiful metaphor, Bhatt Sallh ji has written in the praise of Sri Guru Ram Das ji. As stated on page 1406 :

He has crushed and overpowered emotional attachment. He seized sexual desire by the hair, and threw it down. With His Power, He cut anger into pieces, and sent greed away in disgrace. janam kaal Life and death, with palms pressed together, respect and obey the Hukam of His Command. He brought the terrifying world-ocean under His Control; by His Pleasure, He carried His Sikhs across. He is seated upon the Throne of Truth, with the canopy above His Head; He is embellished with the powers of Yoga and the enjoyment of pleasures. So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, Your sovereign power is eternal and unbreakable; Your army is invincible.

Bhatt Sallh ji has written about Sri Guru Amar Das ji on page 1396 as :

Wearing the armor of Samaadhi, the Guru has mounted the saddled horse of spiritual wisdom. Holding the bow of Dharma in His Hands, He has shot the arrows of devotion and humility. He is fearless in the Fear of the Eternal Lord God; He has thrust the spear of the Word of the Guru's Shabad into the mind. He has cut down the five demons of unfulfilled sexual desire, unresolved anger, unsatisfied greed, emotional attachment and self-conceit. Guru Amar Daas, the son of Tayj Bhaan, of the noble Bhalla dynasty, blessed by Guru Nanak, is the Master of kings. SALL speaks the truth; O Guru Amar Daas, you have conquered the army of evil, fighting the battle this way.

Bhatt Sallh Ji is trying to reveal that all Satguru's are the true form of Almighty God. The maya(mammon) of the world acts on human-beings through ( Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Hankaar which means Passion, Anger, Greed, love and pride) and deviate the person from the path of the truth. But this maya couldn’t affect the true Satguru even in the least. On the contrary, whoever came to the holy shelter of the Great Guru’s is sheltered and protected from maya by the guru’s. The need is to leave one’s ego, come to the shelter and protection of the guru and change one’s life practically according to the order of the guru. Anybody who adopts this path unconditionally is blessed with the fulfillment of human life by guru ji. As stated on page 687 :

My Yatra, my life pilgrimage, has become fruitful, fruitful, fruitful.

My comings and goings have ended, since I met the Holy Saint.
