The Sabad begins with a profound surrender to the Guru, a heartfelt offering of praise spanning hours. This symbolizes the depth of devotion and the unyielding commitment to the Divine.
The Sabad begins with a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life. Each day that dawns eventually fades away, and the impermanence of our stay in this world is underscored by the inevitability of departure.
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.
