Bharme bhulla sakat firta – Raag Suhi – Ang 739

SGGS Angg 739.

Raag Suhi Mehla 5.

Guru Ji speaks of the sakat, the one who chases after lower energies of maya.

Such a person does not realize the Lord is within his own body home.

“Ghar me Thakur nadar na aave”

Instead he carries the image of his stone idol on his neck.

“Gall me pahan le letkaave”

Such a person is a sakat wandering about under all kinds of doubts and delusions.

“Bharme bhulla sakat firta ”

No spiritual merit is achieved. All he does is akin to churning water, wasting away his precious life.

“Neer birolay khap khap martaa”(rahao).

The stone which he calls his god.

“Jis pahan ko Thakur kehta”

That very stone god pulls him down in the world ocean and drowns him.

“Oh pahan le oss ko dubdaa”

Man forgets it is the Formless Lord who sent him here and feeds him. By praying to others he is a

“Gunahgaar loon haramee”,

Because a boat of stone can never ferry you across.

“Pahan naav na paargramee”

You only know of the True Thakur from the Guru.

“Gur mil Nanak Thakur jaata”

And you realize that unlike the stone idol, the Thakur is pervading the waters, earth and the skies. He is the True Writer of our destinies.

“Jall thall mahiyal puran bidhaata”
