Raam simar pechtayenga mann – Raag Maroo – Ang 1106

SGGS Angg 1106

Raag Maroo (Maru) – Bhagat Kabir Ji.

Kabir Ji tells man to meditate upon the Lord. If you do not, you will regret.

O mind (man), meditate upon the Lord, or you will later regret; (remember), the sinful soul that acts in greed will today or tomorrow have to get up and leave.

“Raam simar pechtayenga mann; paapi jiaara lobh karatt hai aaj kaal uth jaayenga.” (rahao).

Clinging to greed you have wasted your life, misled by the delusions of maya; do not be proud of your wealth and youth (strength), these will rot apart like paper.

“Laalach laagey janam gavaeeiya maya bharam bhulayenga; dhan joban ka garab na kijjay kaagad jio galh jayenga.”

When death comes and grabs you by the hair, and throws you down, that day, you will be powerless; as you have not done simran, loving worship, nor practiced compassion, you will be struck many times on your face.

“Jao jamm aaye kes geh bhatkey ta dinn kich na basaeynga; simran bhajan dya nahi kinee tao mukh chotan khaayenga.”

When the Righteous judge calls for you to give accounts, what face will you show him then?; Kabir says, listen O Saints, in Sadhsanggat you can swim across.

“Dharam Rai jab lekha maangay kya mukh leh ke jaayenga; kahat Kabir sunho re Santo Sadhsanggat tarr jaayenga.”
