Mann kaha bisareyo Raam Naam – Raag Basant – Ang 1186

SGGS Angg 1186.

Raag Basant M.9

Guru Ji addresses a Sikh who does not recite Naam, and is engrossed in worldliness.

O mind, how could you ever forget the Lord’s Name?; when your body perishes, you will be occupied with the tortures of the messenger of death.

“Mann kaha bisareyo Raam Naam; tann binsay jamm seyo parey kaam.” (rahao).

This world is like a hill of smoke; what made you think it is real?

“Eh jag dhuve ka pahaar; teh sacha maneyaa keh bichaar.”

Wealth, spouse, property and household; know this as true, that none shall go along with you.

“Dhan dara sampat greh; kach sang na chaley samaj leh.”

Only devotion to the Lord will go with you; Nanak says devote yourself to Him with single minded love.

“Eik bhagat Narayan hoye sang; kaho Nanak bhaj teh Ek rang.”
