Mai banda beh khareed Sach Sahib mera – Raag Assa – Ang 396

In life, we face all kinds of difficulties.

There are times where you stand totally humiliated. All relatives and friends desert you. Even children, who you bore and raised with love, rebel against you. All investments go bad.

In the face of such horrible situations, only the Lord, who resides within you, can restore your maan, your ijjat, your patt, your laaj. You must have full faith (bharvasa) in Him, that these times too will pass, and you will blossom again.

There will be numerous persons who will suggest you try other methods, rely on others. If you do, and your tek shifts from Naam, you are rendered “kaacha” (impure, perishable).

Only total faith in Naam can bestow the fallen ones with Divine Dignity and Honour.

” Maan nimaane Tu Dhani Tera Bharvasa.”

Any other reliance (ann tek) distances you from God and removes your chances of recovery.

“Bin Sache ann tek hai so jaanho kacha.”

In the Land Offices of Punjab and Lahore, when a title deed is transferred to a buyer for a price, the Land Registry will record “Bae Khareed” on the Registry title.
“Bae Khareed” means sold for some valuable consideration (price) and the transaction cannot be undone.

In this Shabad, a Sikh declares his loyalty to the Guru, and says, I am Your purchased (bae khareed) slave (banda). You are my True Master. (Sach Sahib mera).
My soul, my body, and everything else belongs to You (is surrendered to You).
“Jio pind sabh Tis da sabh kich hai Tera.”

You are the Dhani (Master) and I place my trust in You. (Tera bharvasa). You bestow honor to the downcast and dishonored ones. (Maan nimaane Tu Dhani).
