Guru Arjun Devji Maharaj talks today in the Sorath raag; a raag which is full of power, full of conviction. Guru Sahib ji says, “Gur kay charan basay rid bheetar subh lakhan parabh keenay.” Gur kay charan means Guru’s feet, basay means to abide, rid means my heart, bheetar means inside, subh means blessed, lakhan means fortune. parabh means Waheguru, keenay means blessing. The Guru’s feet abide within my heart. I meditate upon the Guru in my heart all the time. Waheguru has blessed me with this great blessing that I remember the Guru all the time within my heart.

Bha-ay kirpaal pooran parmaysar naam niDhaan man cheenay. That perfect Waheguru, higher than higher Lord, has blessed me, has been merciful upon me and because of this I have found the treasure of Naam, Waheguru’s Name within my mind. Mayro gur rakhvaaro meet. Mayro means mine, Gur means guru, rakhvaaro means saviour, meet means best friends. My Guru is my saviour and my best friend. Doon cha-oonee day vadi-aa-ee sobhaa neetaa neet. Doon cha-oonee means again and again (Doon means double, cha-oonee means four times; four fold), vadi-aa-ee means glory, sobhaa means greatness. Again and again He blesses me with glory and greatness.

Rahaa-o. Guruji says, “Pause and think about this.”

Jee-a jant parabh sagal uDhaaray darsan daykhanhaaray. Waheguru liberates and saves all of the creatures and beings. How? By blessing them with His blessed vision. Gur pooray kee achraj vadi-aa-ee naanak sad balihaaray. The greatness of the perfect Guru is wondorous, is beyond words, is beyond description. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to that true Guru.

Guru Sahibji is saying today, “Guru is our liberator, Guru is our friend and Guru is our saviour.”

Mayro gur rakhvaaro meet. Doon cha-oonee day vadi-aa-ee sobhaa neetaa neet. Rahaa-o.
