  • Gian Prabodh (Guide to Enlightenment), included in Guru Gobind Singh`s Dasam Granth, is a long poem written in Braj employing sixteen different metres. It comprises two independent pans. The name given to the sixth Bani in the second holy scriptures of the Sikhs called the Dasam Granth (lit. Book or Collected writings of the Tenth Master). This text spans from page 325 to page 643 of the 1478 pages of this holy book of the Sikhs. (Original text is over 1428 pages). * The first, i.e. the introductory one (stanzas 1 to 125), begins with a laudation of the Almighty who is depicted as Supreme, beyond comprehension, non dual, infinite, invisible, unattached, desireless and fearless. The Supreme Being is the Creator and Succourer of the universe, and the Embodiment of Supreme Bliss. He is beyond Time and beyond retribution over karma. All pilgrimages, practices of yoga, renunciation of the world, are meaningless without His being remembered. * The second part consists of 211 stanzas (126-336), each a quatrain with the exception of two couplets (250 and 253). The theme of this part is the practical philosophy of the world. The expositions are professed in the form of highly metaphysical dialogues, between Jivatman and Paramatman, and the nature of atman and the fourfold worldly dharma, i.e. politics {raj dharma), charity (dan dharma), household life (BHOG dharma) and liberation (moksa dharma) all of which are defined. How this fourfold religion of man is to be lived is illustrated from the legends of the Mahabharata and from the tales of the successors of Yudhishhira and his brothers; Priksit, Janmejya and his son, Ajai Singh, born of a concubine. Another highly devotional ballad comprising 336 verses, Guru Gobind Singh ji praises the qualities of the Almighty. The text then deals with a dialogue the soul has with the King of Souls (the Almighty), where emotions, the play of various eras (Satyug, Treta, Dwapur and Kalyug) are discussed. The four facets of Dharm (righteousness) are deliberated (Bhog, Raaj, Dhaan, and Mokh). However, only Dhaan Dharam has been discussed, the other 3 facets have not, which leads many to believe this work is unfinished.
