My mind burns deeply for All-Pervasive’s experience,
as the thirsty without water. 1.
My mind is pierced by the arrow of All-Pervasive’s love.
My All-Pervasive Divine knows my pain, my mind’s internal pain. Reflect.
Whoever tells my All-Pervasive Beloved’s narrative
is my Bhai¹, my brother. 2.
Girl-friends, unite, unite,
imbibe the resolute wisdom of the Eternal Guru,
Recount the virtues of my Divine. 3.
O! All-Pervasive, fulfill servant Nanak’s wish,
Seeing All-Pervasive, body quietens. 4.
Guru Ramdas Sahib in Rag Gond | Guru Granth Sahib 861
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.

Patti is a poetic form rooted in the Gurmukhi alphabet. Traditionally, students in Punjabi culture used a wooden tablet, called a patti, to practice writing letters.

Join host Santbir Singh as he delves into the profound impact of 1984 through the personal reflections of guest Pritpal Singh.
