Fareeda buray da bhala kar gussa mann na handaiye – Shalok Bhagat Sheikh Fareed Ji – Ang 1381

Shalok Bhagat Sheikh Fareed Ji – Slok no 78

Anger is a terrible emotion. It makes you do and say things which you would never say if you were calm and composed. Anger consumes you and the blazing fire within will make you harbour thoughts of revenge and ill will for those who have hurt you.

We have countless sins to our account. We plead for Mercy as we know “lekhay kathe na chutiye khin khin bhulanhaar; Bakshanhaar baksh le Nanak paar utaar.”(Ang 261).
We cannot with a straight face ask forgiveness for our breaches of His Hukam while we refuse to forgive others. It is difficult to be forgiving sometimes as the hurt is of a grave degree. But ardas to the Guru to remove all anger and hurt will give you astonishing results. The Guru (Shabad), can go deep within and remove all deep wounds and grudges. Depending upon your degree of hurt, you may need to do ardas a few times till you find your mind is at peace.

Fareed Ji says answer evil with goodness, and do not harbour anger in your mind; you shall then not suffer from any disease, and in fact obtain everything.

“Fareeda buray da bhala kar gussa mann na handaiye; dehi rogh na lagaaiye palay sabh kich paaye.”
