Sikh tradition is that from roughly the middle half of the Guru Granth, usually at the beginning of a randomly selected page (or the previous page if the hymn started there) one hymn is selected. This is read as the Hukam Nama, or "The Order Of The Day. Clearly many Sikhs living outside the Punjabi ambience would have great difficulty figuring out its meaning.
