Jag leho re manaa jag leho kaha gaffal soeya – Raag Tilang – Ang 726

SGGS Angg 726

Raag Tilang M.9

Guru Ji gives Divine Advice to all. Why are you spiritually asleep? Awaken to the fact that life is like a dream, for a short while only.

Wake up O mind, wake up, why are you sleeping unaware. (In ignorance)?; even that body you were born with, will not go with you in the end.

“Jag leho re manaa jag leho kaha gaffal soeya; jo tann upjiya sang hi so bhi sang na hoeya.” (rahao).

The mother, father, children and relatives whom you love; will throw your body to the fire when the soul departs from it.

“Maat pita sut bandh jann hitt ja seyo keena; jio chutiyo jab deh te daar aggan meh deena.”

Be aware that your worldly affairs exist only so long as you are alive  Nanak says, sing the Praises of the Lord, all else is like a dream (which breaks as soon as you wake up).

“Jiwat leho biohaar hai jag ko tum jaano; Nanak Har gunn gaye leh sabh suffan samaano.”
