In the tranquil embrace of Rag Kalian, Guru Arjan Sahib's Sabad unfolds with a soothing melody, invoking a sense of peace and blessing-seeking as the evening descends.

In the tranquil embrace of Rag Kalian, Guru Arjan Sahib's Sabad unfolds with a soothing melody, invoking a sense of peace and blessing-seeking as the evening descends. The seeker's steadfast belief in the All-Pervasive permeates every aspect of their being, as their eyes, tongue, ears, and even their body limbs and breath resonate with divine comfort.


Amidst the vast expanse of creation, the All-Pervasive's presence is felt ubiquitously, extending to all corners of existence, whether in towering mountains or humble straw. This omnipresence is a comforting reminder of the All-Pervasive's boundless grace and benevolence, bringing solace to the seeker's heart.


Through divine perception, the seeker beholds the All-Pervasive as the ultimate Sovereign, the Owner of all beings, and the Chief of creation. This recognition of divine authority and presence instills a sense of reverence and awe, fostering a deepening connection with the cosmic order.


In the company of the Sage, the seeker finds refuge and wisdom, transcending doubts and fears that may cloud the mind. Doubts dissipate through the recitation of Supreme Cosmic wisdom, and clarity emerges, illuminating the path toward spiritual realization and inner peace.

Believing You, believing All-Pervasive, O! All-Pervasive
Eyes, tongue, and ears listen,
body limbs and breath feel comfort.  1.  Reflect.

Here and there, in ten directions,
in mountains and in straw, pervading equally.  1.

Seeing All-Pervasive everywhere, the Owner of beings, the Chief.Nanak: In Sage’s company, recounting Supreme Cosmic wisdom, doubts, and fears eliminated. 2
     Guru Arjan Sahib in Rag Kalian  |  Guru Granth Sahib 1322

ਕਲਿਆਨ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਘਰੁ ੨
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ਤੇਰੈ ਮਾਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮਾਨਿ ॥
ਨੈਨ ਬੈਨ ਸ੍ਰਵਨ ਸੁਨੀਐ ਅੰਗ ਅੰਗੇ ਸੁਖ ਪ੍ਰਾਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਇਤ ਉਤ ਦਹ ਦਿਸਿ ਰਵਿਓ ਮੇਰ ਤਿਨਹਿ ਸਮਾਨਿ ॥੧॥
ਜਤ ਕਤਾ ਤਤ ਪੇਖੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਪੁਰਖ ਪਤਿ ਪਰਧਾਨ ॥

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਭੈ ਮਿਟੇ ਕਥੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨ ॥੨॥੧॥੪॥

About Sabad of the Week

We are finite; our understanding is finite. Our understanding was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad. In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord.
