Mehar kare jis Meharvan ta karaj aave raas – Raag Sri Raag – Ang 44

Raag Sri Raag

SGGS Ji Ang 44

All actions in the world rest upon two pillars.
First is effort. Secondly is His Grace.

We make efforts to get cured. You have to reach a doctor, pay him for his expertise, go through various painful procedures before you are cured. All this is effort. The efforts will only bear fruit i.e. be successful, if the Lord gives His Grace to the entire process leading to the cure.

Thus Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, any medicine is only effective if the Lord gives His Grace.

“Aukhad aaye raas vich Aap khalova.” (Ang 1362).

As one’s avastha rises, and haumai gets eroded, a further Understanding sweeps upon you. Even the efforts and payment, meeting the doctor, guiding the doctor’s hands towards the right medicines and cure, happened only with His Grace.

In this Shabad, Guru Ji stresses one should rely only upon the One Lord who provides Support to all.

“Tis ki kar aas mann jis ka sabas vesaah.”

Only address your ardas to the Guru.

“Sukhdata bhae bhanjano Tis aage kar Ardas.”

As the Lord, in His Mercy, gives His Grace, all your troubles will be resolved.

“Mehar kare jis Meharvan ta karaj aave raas.”
