Sadho rachna Raam banaiyee – Raag Gauree – Ang 219

SGGS Angg 219

Raag Gauree (Gauri) M.9

Guru Ji marvels at God’s play. We see death before us every day, but yet man harbours the thought, and acts like, he will live forever.

O holy persons, God fashioned all creation; one person passes away, yet the very next one, thinks he will live forever – this is a wonder beyond understanding.

“Sadho rachna Raam banaiyee; eik binsay eik asthirr maane achraj lakhiyo na jaaiye.” (rahao).

Mortal beings are gripped by lust, anger, and emotional attachment – they have forgotten the Immortal Lord; like a dream in the night, they believe their false (perishable) bodies to be true (eternal).

“Kaam krodh moh bass pranee Har murat bisraiyee; jhutha tann Sacha kar maanieyo jio supna reinaiyee.”

Whatever is seen shall all pass away like the shadow of a cloud; servant Nanak says, know the world to be perishable, and remain in the Sanctuary of the All Pervading Lord.

“Jo dissay so saggal binasay jio badar ki chaiyee; jann Nanak jag jaaniyo mithiya rehiyo Raam Sarnaiyee.”
