Guru Arjan Sahib in Rag Kedara | GGS 1120 | Artist: Bhai Gurmeet Singh

The Sabad begins by expressing the sheer beauty and allure of the Beloved's love. The seeker, filled with excitement and conscious longing, focuses intently on the Beloved, highlighting a deep, unwavering devotion.

‍

Love of the Beloved is lovely.
Excited mind consciously longs, eyes are fixed on You.  Reflect.
‍
‍How blessed are those days, hours, minutes, auspicious moments and instants?
Suddenly shutters open, thirst quenches, I live seeing You.  1.

Which effort, which remedy, which service to think of?
Nanak: Abandon pride, ego and attachment, Truth-Exemplars’ company liberates. 2.

ਕੇਦਾਰਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਪਿਆਰੀ ॥
ਮਗਨ ਮਨੈ ਮਹਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਆਸਾ ਨੈਨਹੁ ਤਾਰ ਤੁਹਾਰੀ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਓਇ ਦਿਨ ਪਹਰ ਮੂਰਤ ਪਲ ਕੈਸੇ ਓਇ ਪਲ ਘਰੀ ਕਿਹਾਰੀ ॥
ਖੂਲੇ ਕਪਟ ਧਪਟ ਬੁਝਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਜੀਵਉ ਪੇਖਿ ਦਰਸਾਰੀ ॥੧॥

ਕਉਨੁ ਸੁ ਜਤਨੁ ਉਪਾਉ ਕਿਨੇਹਾ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਉਨ ਬੀਚਾਰੀ ॥
ਮਾਨੁ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਤਜਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤਹ ਸੰਗਿ ਉਧਾਰੀ ॥੨॥੩॥੫॥

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.
