Mittar piaare nu haal muridaan da kahinaa ॥

After the fierce Battle of Chamkaur Sahib, where the Vadde Sahibzade, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh Ji, along with forty Gursikhs attained Shaheedi, Shah-e-Shahanshah Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji proceeded alone through the dense forests and reached the jungles of Machhiwara Sahib.

At this moment, Guru Sahib was alone. Vadde Sahibzaade and 40 beloved Sikhs had attained Shaheedi, and Mata Gujri Ji, the Chotte Sahibzade, Mata Sundri Ji, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji and the beloved Sikhs were separated. Neither Guru Sahib’s self-established Anandpur Sahib, the fortress, the Khalsa Fauj, nor any form of worldly comfort remained.

Yet, Sahib-e-Kamal Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was neither sorrowful nor distressed.

Instead, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj Ji remained immersed in gratitude and remembrance of Akal Purakh, acknowledging that everything received from Waheguru had been returned to Waheguru.

In this divine state of complete surrender to the Almighty, Guru Sahib recited the sacred Shabad, a heartfelt message addressed to the Divine Friend -

Mittar piaare nu haal muridaan da kahinaa ॥

Tudh bin rog rajaiyaan da odhan naag nivaasaan de rahinaa ॥

Sool suraahi khanjar piaalaa bing kasaaiyaan da sahinaa ॥

Yaarre da saanu sathhar changaa bhath kheriaan da rahinaa ॥ 1॥ 1॥

Meaning -

“O Beloved Friend (Waheguru), convey the condition of Your disciples.

Without You, even royal comforts feel like illness, and fine garments feel like nakedness.”

Guru Sahib expresses, true comfort, honour and peace exist only in the presence and remembrance of Waheguru. Worldly power, possessions family and comfort hold no value without divine connection.

Even in the forests of Machhiwara, separated from all worldly support, Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji stood spiritually victorious, reminding humanity that true wealth lies in remembrance of Waheguru.
