Aao sakhi Sant paas sewa laagiye – Raag Assa – Ang 457

SGGS Angg 457

Raag Assa (Asa) M.5

This Shantt by Guru Arjun Dev Ji has 4 padas. This is the 3rd pada.

The jeev isteri speaks to her satsangans and tells them, let us dedicate ourselves to serving the Saints. (Guru). Let us renounce our self conceit and grind corn for them, and wash their feet.

“Aao sakhi Sant paas sewa laagiye; pisho charan pakhaar aap tyaagiye.”

Shedding our conceit, our troubles shall be removed. Let us not display ourselves; let us hold tight to His Sanctuary, obey Him, and accept His Will as sweet.

“Tajj aap mittay santaap aap neh janaaiyeh; Sharan gahijay maan lijjay kare so sukh paiiyeh.”

Let us become slaves of His slaves, remove our sorrows, pressing our palms together, let us be awake night and day (in His worship and service); Nanak expresses what He knows through the Guru’s Words, come my companions, let us serve the Saints (Guru).

“Kar daas dasee tajj udasee kar jorh dinn rein jaagiyeh; Nanak vakhaney Gur Bachan jaaney aao sakhi Sant paas sewa laagiyeh.”
