Narration:
“🙏 Sat Sri Akaal and Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Welcome to our channel—Naam Dhan, Gurmat Vichar. In today’s video, we explore a profound theme from the very first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji: how the burden of sins (paape da bojh) is lifted when we listen to the deep inner voice of conscience (antar-vachan, antar-humbā, antar-darshan) and act accordingly—leading us to cleansing, liberation, and eternal peace.

This golden theme resonates through Sikh tradition: your conscience is a divine gift, a reflection of Hukam (Divine Will), and following it erases karmic load, purifies mind and body, and draws us closer to Sach Khand. Over the next ~4,500 words, we will:

🕰️ 2. Historical & Philosophical Context (≈ 400 words)
A. Cultural Background
Born 1469 CE in Talwara (or Rai-Bhoi-Ki-Talwandi), Guru Nanak emerged into a milieu dominated by ritualism, caste tyranny, moral confusion.

The word paap (“sin”) in Gurbani refers to harmful actions arising from ego (haumai), attachment (moha), falsehood (mithya), and hypocrisy.

B. Guru Nanak’s Revolution
Unlike merely condemning sin, Guru Nanak emphasizes self-inquiry and self-purification—turning within, beyond rituals, to reconcile with Sach (Truth).

His spiritual grammar centers on Naam Simran, Bani, Sangat, Seva—which activate and refine inner conscience.

C. Conscience in Gurbani
Words like antar-darshan (inner seeing), antar-vachan (inner speech), antar-humbā (inner light), are used to denote the intuitive, hear-it-only-by-soul kind of guidance.

This inner voice is parallel to bani, param-guroo’s Word—it is the Guru’s living presence within.

A. Shabad: “ਹਉਮੈ ਹੁਕਮ ਸੁਣੁ ਜਤਿ ਬੋਲੈ” (Ang 37, Guru Granth Sahib)

Haumai hukam sunu jat bolañ, haumai tiao mukh sabad molay.
Translation:
“In ego you hear and speak only what serves your pride; from that same mouth you hide the Shabad, the Divine Word.”

Commentary:

Haumai (ego) blinds us to Hukam—the inner voice. Instead, we speak words laden with self or pride.

Sin arises not only from action but from suppressing Truth within.

Guru Nanak teaches: the first sin is denial of what the soul knows.

Action: cultivate humility. When confronted with moral decisions, pause and ask: “Is this from haumai, or from Hukam?” Practice cultivates the voice of conscience.

B. Shabad: “ਜਿਤੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਪਹਚਾਨਉ…” (Ang 29, GGS)
Gurmukhi:

Jit sabad na pahchanaon…
(rest omitted for brevity)
Translation (partial):
“Where the Word is not recognized, there the self is recognized as the doer… Without the Word, sinners do evil deeds.”

Commentary:

Sabad = living Word/Guru’s divine message. Non-recognition means surrendering to egoic impulses.

Conscience is voice of the Sabad in your being. Ignoring it leads to karmic burden.

Guru Nanak’s message: the remedy is recognition and following of the Word inside.

C. Shabad: “ਅੰਤਰਦਾਨੁ ਤੇ ਅੰਤਰ ਬਚਨੁ…” (Ang 188, GGS)
Gurmukhi:

ਅੰਤਰਦਾਨੁ ਤੇ ਅੰਤਰ ਬਚਨੁ…

Antardaanu te antar bachan – the gift of inner sight and inner speech…
Lists the inner gems: antardaan (inner sight), antar bachan (inner speech), padhant—listening to it.

These devotions lead to pavanne (purification), man-darpan (mind’s mirror) shines.

The transformation is inner first—antar—leading to clarity, action, and sin’s erasure.

Meaning & Significance
The phrase antardaanu te antar-vachan represents Stage One: awakening.

When we awaken conscience, our natural actions align with truth, and impurity is burned away.
