WORDS DIVINE

THE BODY IS LIKE A DREAM,
WHEN THE BODY ITSELF IS UNREAL,
THEN ALL THINGS OF THIS WORLD
ARE UNREAL
NAM ALONE IS TRUE
HOLD FAST TO IT.

F YOU ATTEND TO THE
SHABAD DHUN REGULARLY WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION (NAM ABHYASS)
THE MIND WILL SHED ITS
EVIL TENDENCIES.
WORLDLY DESIRES WHICH ARE THE CAUSE OF
BIRTH AND REBIRTH, WILL DISAPPEAR.
THE MIND WILL THEN BE IN LOVE WITH
THE SATGURU.


NAM HAS CREATED THE EARTH, THE SKY,
IN FACT EVERYTHING
IN THE UNIVERSE.
NAM IS PRIMAL;
ALL ELSE IS SECONDARY.
WHERE NAM IS, THERE ALL THINGS ARE.
WE SHOULD CATCH HOLD OF NAM;
WHEN NAM IS ATTAINED,
EVERYTHING IS ATTAINED. WE SHOULD NOT FORGET NAM.

WELCOME THE HOUR OF PAIN
AS A BLESSING
BECAUSE BOTH
PAIN AND PLEASURE
COME TO US FROM HIM, WHY RESENT IT?
THE LORD IS ALWAYS WITH US
AND EVER WATCHES US.
IF PAIN IS TO OUR BENEFIT, HE SENDS US PAIN;
IF PLEASURE IS TO OUR BENEFIT,
HE SENDS US PLEASURE.
BOTH COME TO US
THROUGH HIS WILL.(BHANA)


WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
WE HAVE TO LEAVE THIS WORLD.
WHATEVER WE DO
UNDER THE SWAY OF THE MIND,
WE SHALL HAVE TO SUFFER
THE CONSEQUENCES.

IMPRESS UPON THE MIND
TO LIVE ALWAYS IN
HIS WILL.
THEN, ALL IS ACHIEVED

WE SHOULD NOT GET ATTACHED TO
WORLDLY THINGS AND ACTIVITIES.
WE SHOULD PERFORM OUR DUTIES FAITHFULLY
EVEN EAGERLY,
BUT LIKE A GUEST WHO IS CONSCIOUS
THAT THE HOUSE DOES NOT
BELONG TO HIM.
WE SHOULD LOOK UPON THE WORLD
AND ITS AFFAIRS AS FALSE
AND ATTEND TO THEM,
KNOWING THEM AS SUCH.


WE ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE
HERE FOREVER.
OUR SPAN OF LIFE IS
FIXED TO A SECOND AND
SO ARE OUR BREATHS.
WE SHOULD WITHDRAW OUR MIND
FROM WORLDLY DESIRES
AND KEEP OUR ATTENTION
FIXED IN SHABAD.

WORLDLY AFFAIRS ARE
GOVERNED BY OUR PAST KARMAS.
GOOD OR BAD,
THEY HAVE TO BE GONE THROUGH.
WE SHOULD HAVE NO ANXIETY ABOUT THEM.
RATHER WE SHOULD BE ANXIOUS ABOUT
NAM SIMRAN.


NAM SIMRAN, NAM ABHYASS IS OUR REAL WORK.
THIS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US
AS IT IS THE GIFT
OF THE SATGURU.
IT WILL GROW; IT WIL NOT DIMINISH.
