Raag Suhi M.5.
God is the Life Force in all. He is the Bestower of all Gifts. It is His Will that operates throughout.
A Sikh sings praises of the awesome powers of God.
When it Pleases You, You inspire us to chant Your Name. Any peace we enjoy is actually given by You. I accept Your Will.
“Mere Ram Rai jio rakhe tio rehiye”
“Tudh bhave ta Naam japave sukh tera dita lahiye” (rahao)
The Satguru is verily God Himself; He is the Doer.
“Parbrahm Parmeshar Satgur aape karnehaara”
Your servant begs the dust of Your Feet. I am a sacrifice to Your Blessed Darshan.
“Charan dhurr teri sewak maange tere darshan ko balihara”
In the rahao the Sikh says, O my Sovereign Lord as You preserve me, I remain; as it Pleases You, You inspire me to chant Your Name. You alone, can grant me peace.
“Mere Raam Rai jio rakhe tio rehiye; tudh bhave ta Naam japavhe sukh Tera ditta lahiye.” (rahao).
This service to You, which You, Yourself inspire us to do, gives us liberation, comfort and a dignified lifestyle; that place is heavenly (Sachkhand), where Your Praises are sung; You, Yourself instill faith in us.
“Mukat bhugat jugat Teri sewa jis Tu Aap karaihe; taha Baikunth jeh Kirtan Tera Tu Aape sharda laayeh.”
As I meditate upon Your Name continually, my body and mind gets enraptured; I wash Your Lotus Feet (cherish Your Bani), and drink in this Water. My Satguru is Merciful to the helpless.
“Simar simar simar Naam jiva tann mann hoye nihalaa; Charan Kamal Tere dhoye dhoye peeva mere Satguru Deen Dyala.”
I am so grateful for that blessed moment which brought me to Your Door; God has been compassionate to Nanak. I have met (merged with) the True Guru (Shabad).
“Kurban jayee us vela suhavee jit Tumre Duarey aaya; Nanak ko Prabh bhaye kirpala Pura Satgur payaa.”
On September 3rd, 2024, Bhai Ji further added:
It is constant loving remembrance of God, that truly keeps me alive and my mind and body get enraptured in Your Love.
“Simar simar simar Naam jiwa tann mann hoye Nihala.”
I cherish Your Bani, (Charan Kamal), wash it with my love for You, and drink in this Bani. You are my Satguru (Shabad), always Merciful to the lowly and downtrodden.
“Charan Kamal Tere dhoye dhoye peeva mere Satgur Deen Dyala.”
Bhai Ji added on September 18, 2024:
God is the Only Doer. He is “Parbrahm Parmeshar Satgur Aape Karnehara.”
One prays for holy company, and is Truly Blessed to receive His Darshan.
“Charan dhur Teri sewak maange Tere Darshan ko balihara.”
Accept His Will, His Bhana, and say “Mere Ram Rai jio rakhe tio rehiye.”
Only if it Pleases You, can I recite Your Name, and be blessed with Peace.
“Tudh bhave ta Naam japavhe sukh Tera ditta lahiye.”
