Mann pyaria jio mitra Gobind Naam samaale- Raag Sri Raag – Ang 79

SGGS Angg 79.

Raag Sri Raag M.5

Guru Arjun Dev Ji has two Shantts in Raag Sri Raag.

This is the 1st pada of the 1st Shantt. A Sikh lovingly advices his mind to always be focused on the Lord and to sing His Praises.

O my dear beloved mind, my friend, lovingly cherish the Name of the Lord; O dear beloved mind, my friend, the Lord shall always be with you.

“Mann pyaria jio mitra Gobind Naam samaale; mann pyaria ji mitra Har nibhe tere naale.”

No one returns empty handed from the Lord, as you meditate upon His Name, the Lord becomes your Helper and Support; as you lovingly cherish His Name in your heart, you shall obtain the fruits of your heart’s desires.

“Sang sahaiyee Har Naam dhiaiyee birtha koye na jaaye; mann chinde falh paave Charan Kamal (Bani) chit laaye.”

The Lord of the world forest is totally pervading the waters and all lands, you will be exhilarated as you behold Him in every heart; Nanak gives this advice to the beloved mind, burn away all your misconceptions in holy company.

“Jal thall puur rehiya Banwari ghat ghat nadar nihale; Nanak sikh de mann pritam Sadhsang bhram jaale.”
