The Sabad urges the mind to utter the divine name of the Charmer-Divine for liberation. It speaks of the complete elimination of countless transgressions, facilitated by the grace of the All-Pervasive, enabling the crossing of the metaphorical world-ocean

O! My mind, utter the Charmer-Divine’s Nam for liberation.
Millions upon millions of transgressions totally eliminated,
All-Pervasive enables world-ocean crossing.  1. Reflect.

All-Pervasive Divine abides in the body-town,
All-Pervasive is fear-less, foe-less, form-less.
All-Pervasive wasn’t visible though dwelling nearby,
All-Pervasive is discovered through Guru-reflection.  1.

All-Pervasive Self is the lender, appraiser, jewel, diamond.
All-Pervasive Self created the expanse.
Nanak: Graced one buys All-Pervasive Nam,
That one is the eternal lender and trader. 2.
     Guru Ramdas Sahib in Rag Bairari | Guru Granth Sahib 720

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.
