Kaho Nanak eh tatt bichara – Raag Gauree – Ang 188

SGGS Angg 188.

Raag Gauree M.5

Guru Ji advises all Sikhs. Liberation from karmic bondages can only come from loving devotion to God.

Those who appear to be great and powerful; are afflicted by the disease of anxiety.

“Vadhe vadhe jo dissay logh; tin ko biapey chinta rogh.”

Who can ever achieve greatness by fame received from maya; he is truly great who is lovingly attached to the Lord.

“Kaun vadda maya vadiayee; so vadda jin Raam liv layee.”(rahao).

The landlord daily fights over his land; as he leaves the world, his desires (over the land) are still not extinguished. ( his karmic bondages from the land go with him)

“Bhumiya bhoom upar nitt lujjay; chodh chalay trishna nahi bujjay.”

Nanak says, I reflect and speak the essence of Truth; without loving devotion to God, one can never achieve salvation

“Kaho Nanak eh tatt bichara; bin Har bhajan nahi chutkara.”
