Guru Arjan Sahib in Rag Suhi | Guru Granth Sahib 737 | Artist: Bhai Surjeet Singh

Bride-lover is praise-worthy, recognizes the Divine,
Follows Hukam, renounces ego,
Dyed in Beloved, delight follows.  1.

Listen girl-friend! The sign to meet the Divine:
Surrender mind and body, forsake societal norms. 1. Reflect.

Girl-friend counsels girl-friend,
Earn what pleases the Divine,
Such bride-lover remains cradled.  2.

Caught in ego, one doesn’t enter the Mansion,
Then regrets, when night passes,

Unfortunate, self-oriented, suffers pain.  3.
I would plea if I thought Divine was far,
Indestructible Divine permeates everywhere,
Servant Nanak sees the Presence and sings.  4.

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.
