Raag Assa M.2

A Slok from Asa Ki Vaar. Guru Angad Dev Ji tells us we must remove our self conceit and engage in sewa of the Guru. In a way it also describes the single minded honest sewa Bhai Lehna Ji engaged in. The result of such selfless sewa and Naam was he was elevated to become the 2nd Satguru Ji of the Sikhs.

Firstly, Guru Ji tells us what a sewak should purge from himself. If a sewak performs service while being vain and argumentative; he can talk as much as he pleases, such a servant shall not be pleasing to his Master.

“Chakar lagge chakri naley garab vaadh; gallan kare ghaneriya khasam na paaye saadh.”

If he eliminates his self conceit and performs service, he shall receive honor; Nanak says, if he merges with the One in whose service he is engaged, then such service is acceptable.

“Aap gavaahe sewa kare ta kich paaye maan; Nanak jis nu lagga tis milhe lagga so parvaan.”
