The Sabad cautions against the pitfalls of ego and self-centeredness, which hinder entry into the Divine realm and lead to regret and suffering.
Sabad is Infinite; we are very finite. This is our understanding at the moment, which was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow, as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad.
The Sabad’s progress unveils the diversity of human affection. Worldly attachments and pride entrance some, while the devotees of the Divine embrace an affection for the Freedom-state inherent in the All-Pervasive.
The Sabad begins with a clear reminder: no one is your ultimate support except the Divine, the One. Relationships we hold dear—our parents, children, spouses, and siblings—are fleeting.
The Sabad begins by addressing the One as the Emperor, acknowledging that any attempt to describe the Greatness of the One falls short.
The Sabad expresses a heartfelt plea to the Eternal Guru, evoking a longing for refuge in the sanctuary of divine grace. It portrays a deep sense of surrender and acknowledgment of the futility of seeking solace elsewhere.
“Bhai Vir Singh’s (1872-1957) art is of the highest, not for its power of story-telling; that conjures up past events in panorama, nor for the delicate grace of its purity and beauty; nor, even, for its great humanity.
“Bhai Vir Singh’s (1872-1957) art is of the highest, not for its power of story-telling; that conjures up past events in panorama, nor for the delicate grace of its purity and beauty; nor, even, for its great humanity.
Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957) is known as “The Sixth River of Panjab.” He was a poet, novelist, editor, exegete, historian, and a journalist. He was the leading figure in the Singh Sabha, the dynamic Sikh renaissance movement in early 20th-century Panjab.
In Bhai Vir Singh's narrative masterpiece, "Rana Bhabor," a poignant dialogue unfolds between Rana Uday Singh and his devoted Rani, offering profound insights into the complexities of love and devotion.
“Love and Wisdom” is about patriotism and the burning love for freedom. It is about seeking The Rose that never fades and never perishes.
The longing and the yearning to experience a love that transcends time and space. An eternal love to be experienced here and now.
