PAYING DEARLY WITH YOUR SOUL!
"Chith simaran karo nain avilokano sravan baanee sujas poor raakho."
In my consciousness, I remember You in meditation; with my eyes, I behold You; I fill my ears with the Word of Your Bani, and Your Sublime Praise.
Bhagat Ravidas Ji was a God loving person. In this shabad Bhagat ji explains his technique of beholding Vaheguroo's love within his heart. The above is what worked best for Bhagat Ji and he went on to become one with Akaal Purakh Vaheguroo Ji (God).
Bhagat Ji goes on to say, his mind is like a bumble bee, it never settles. There is only one substance, which can make it settle and that is the repetition of God's name. All our minds are similar to the buzzing bumble bee. We need to control the mind through Vaheguroo's name. "Man su madhhukar karo charan hiradhae dhharo rasan a(n)mrith raam naam bhaakho."
Bhagat Ji goes on to say, his love for God will never decrease. He has gone on to pay for it dearly with his soul. Bhagat Ji knew, the only way the soul was going to be saved was through the loving and priceless mantra of Naam. "Maeree preeth gobi(n)dh sio jin ghattai. mai tho mol mehagee lee jeea sattai."
Bhagat Ji goes on to explain, how ones love for Vaheguroo can only be attained through finding like minded people (Sangat). We become our Sangat. If we meet spiritual people and rejoice in their company, that's who we'll become. If we meet others, we will become just like them. Vaheguroo can only be attained through love. Love comes from the Sangat. Without love, there is no God. "Saadsa(n)gath binaa bhaao nehee oopajai bhaav bin bhagath nehee hoe thaeree."
The Sikh/Saint of the Guru leaves his all to Vaheguroo (God). They have nothing apart from God. God is the only one they rely on. They continuously ask God to see them through their quest of liberating the soul and loving Vaheguroo Ji. They know nothing can be achieved without Vaheguroo's blessing, so they ask their beloved to preserve their honour. "Kehai ravidhaas eik baenathee har sio paij raakhahu raajaa raam maeree."
If we would like the love of God to be our protective string, we have to take small steps towards the Guru and let the Guru bless us and rejoice in our love.
Vaheguroo!
