Gems of Gurbani

Guru Granth Sahib

Vaar Maajh   15

Shlok First Guru

Those who sing the praises of Lord early morning and meditate on His Name single mindedly they are the perfect Kings and know to fight the evil sins at right time.

In the second part of the day the attention of the mind gets diverted and man’s mind goes on different paths.

Many can fall into the deep dark waters and suffer drowning and fail to come out of it.

In the third part of the day both hunger and thirst keep urging and man puts morsel in his mouth.

All that food eaten becomes ashes but the friendship with food is deeper.

In the fourth part of day the drowsiness overtakes the eyes close and man goes into the dream land.

He rises up and engages himself in all the strife all over again and believes as if he is going to live hundred years.

If in all the eight watches of the day man has fear of Almighty in his mind then O Nanak the Lord comes to abide in his mind and that is true ablution II 1 II

Second Guru

 They are the perfect money lenders who have found the perfect Lord. They remain unconcerned from outside world and remain absorbed in the love of True Lord during all eight watches of the day.

It is not certain to get a glimpse of the Infinite and Unique Lord. It is seldom to have the fortune to meet a perfect Guru whose speech is perfect too.

Nanak says; if the perfect Guru makes a man perfect he may not lose anything or his worth II 2 II

When you have become mine, what more desires do I have? I am telling this is the truth O my Lord.

The one who falls prey to the worldly frauds and illusions obtains not the Palace of the Lord.

The heart becomes like stone and the opportunity is lost to serve the Lord.

The heart where Lord doesn’t come to abide must be demolished and rebuilt.

Only weighing with perfect measures a weight can be said to correct?

If the ego is abandoned no one can say the weight is short.

The genuine is estimated only then one is allowed to enter the mansion of the All- seeing Lord.

The true merchandise is available only in one shop and it is obtained through the True Guru II 17 II
