Gems of Gurbani
Guru Granth Sahib
Rehras Sahib 18
After the compilation of Guru Granth Sahib Guru Arjun Devji is paying tribute to the Almighty for making him capable of doing this monumental work because without His mercy this task was too big. This is documented in Guru Granth Sahib on Ang 1429 and gives us the message that we should be humble enough to thank God for any success that we achieve in life. It is His grace that we are able to do something to achieve success.
Slok Mahala 5 (Ang 1429): O God I cannot understand or fathom the greatness of your mercy that you have made me the medium and made me capable of doing what I have done. I had no such virtue and I was merit-less but Lord you took pity on me and you showered your benediction on me. You rained this merci on me O Lord and I met my true friend my True Guru. Nanak if I am blessed with the Name of True Lord my body and soul shall blossom forth II 1 II
Next few messages to obtain the eternal bliss of His Name are mentioned in the evening prayer. Here a verse from Guru Arjun Devi ji’s slok on Ang 961: O Omnipotent Lord you reach all those places where no other can reach. In that fire that burns in the womb of a mother you protect the mortal (Child- new born) O Lord. Hearing Your Name being recited the messengers of death run away. The dreadful, formidable and unfathomable world ocean is crossed where Gurbani is being recited. Those who feel the thirst for Your Name Nectar they quench their thirst because that is the only virtuous deed in this Dark Age to sing Your praises. The Lord Master is merciful to all and takes care of everyone for their every breath. O Nanak no one returns empty handed from your door II 9 II
