That Man.....

That Man.....
  • who in the midst of pain, does not feel pain
  • who is not affected by pleasure, affection or fear
  • who looks alike upon gold and dust
  • who is not swayed by either slander or praise
  • who is not affected by greed, attachment or pride
  • who renounces all hopes and desires
  • who remains desire-less in this world
  • who is not touched by sexual desires or anger
  • who remains unaffected by joy and sorrow, honor and dishonor

Within that Man's heart - God dwells.

That Man blessed by his Guru's Grace understands the way.

O Nanak, that Man merges with the Lord, Creator or God, like water with water.

from the Sri Granth Sahib

O Mind, Wake Up !

Why are you sleeping unaware ?

That body, which you were born with,
shall not go along with you in the end.

Mother, father, wife, husband, children
and relatives whom you love so dearly
will assign your body to the fire or earth,
when your soul departs from it.

Your worldy affairs exist only as long as you
are alive ; know this well.

O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord ;
everything is but a dream.


from the Sri Granth Sahib

O Master, i have come to Your Sanctuary

Grant me the peace and glory of the Lord's Name,
and remove my anxiety

i cannot see any other place of shelter ;
i have grown weary and lay collapsed at your door.

Please ignore my karmic account ;
Only then may i be saved.

i am worthless - please, save me.

You are always forgiving and merciful ;
You give support to all.

Slave Nanak follows the Path of the Saints ;
prays Nanak, save him O Lord, this time.

from the Sri Granth Sahib

His Will

.
Life is but a DRAMA
.
directed by GOD
.
Therefore accept,
.
accept & accept
.
It's all His Will
.
