Gems of Gurbani

Guru Granth Sahib

Vaar Malar     2

Shlok First Guru

If it rains in the month of Sawan four things are overjoyed.

The serpent, the deer, the fish and the revelers who have wealth in their homes II 1 II

First Guru

If it rains in the month of sawan four things suffer separation.

They are cows’ calves, the wayfarer, the poor and the servants II 2 II

Pauri

O True Lord He dispenses nothing but truth. He sits in a trance hiding from the world. The Brahma who sit on a lotus flower and is called great also cannot fathom Him and know His limits. He has no father and no mother, then who gave birth to you O Lord?  He has neither the Form nor the sign of all castes. He has no hunger no thirst but He is satiated. The True Lord has merged in Guru and served him with the word. His word He dispenses through Guru. By pleasing the True Lord even a mortal can merge in the Lord. II 2 II

Shlok First Guru

A physician is called to prescribe a remedy. He takes the arm and feel for pulse but the innocent physician knows not that the pain is in the mind II 1 II

Second Guru

You are one of the top physicians and if you are able to diagnose the remedy then prescribe such medicines that eradicate several maladies. Administer such medicines by which maladies vanish and peace comes to abide in the body. When you yourself get rid of ailments from your body you can be called a physician says Nanak II 2 II

Pauri

It is the Lord, who created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He gave Vedas to the Brahma and set him to recite His Name. The Lord created ten incarnations and one of them is King Rama. He killed the demons under His Will (Lord’s Will). The holy men and Shiva serve you O Lord but cannot fathom you end.

The Lord Master has established His own Kingdom where He himself evaluates the beings of this world. He sets the tasks for everyone but keeps Himself hidden away from the eyes of the world. He has willed that the world does righteous and virtuous deeds II 3 II
