One day Yogi Bhajan told his students, "Now, suppose something happens in your life which you want to move and it's not moving. There is a block, and it's not moveable—Chant 'Aad Such, Jugaad Such, Hai Bha-ay Such, Naanak Hosee Bha-ay Such'. It's a lever. It is the biggest lever available to you among mantras.
Baba Siri Chand was the eldest son of Guru Nanak, the first Guru of the Sikhs. He was a very detached yogi and lived for one hundred and fifty years. He did nothing but good. His strength is not only miracles, but spontaneous. This is his mantra. If you practice it, anything stopped in your life shall flow. There is no power like it on earth. In some circumstances I have seen it make impossible possible very fast.
Guru Arjun Dev, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs, went to Baba Siri Chand and said, "Sahibo, I am writing Sukhmani. I am writing the great situation and combination of words that will give people comfort. I want to produce on this earth everlasting comfort. I have finished the sixteen pauri of Sukhmani and now it doesn't proceed further. I am stuck. Seventeenth Pauri I am to write—please say something."
Baba Siri Chand said, "Well, wait a minute, Guru Nanak gave the Guruship to you folks, and it is your problem to write Gurbani, not mine... I just came to bless you. It doesn't mean I have to say Gurbani for you."
Guru Arjun Dev replied, "No, sir, this writing isn't working for me."
And there Baba Siri Chand wrote: "Aad Such, Jugaad Such, Hai Bhay Such, Nanak Hosee Bhay Such."
This mantra became the slok of the seventeenth pauri of Sukhmani Sahib, otherwise known as "The Pslam of Peace" and is included in Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
Pronunciation Guide
"A" sounds like the short brief "A" in "away",
"AA" is uttered twice as long as "A"
"AY" sounds like the "AY" in "away".
"AI" sounds like a cross between "A" in "cat" and "eh"
"U" is a brief "OO" as in "boot"
The "BH" in "BHA-AY" is more of a "P" sound with no puff of air emitted. Instead this "Bh" is pronounced with tone, giving its utterance a wavy quality.
"BHA-AY" is powerful, a form of the verb "to be" that has already happened. That is how fast this mantra can make impossible possible!
