source of peace

The season of spring has come, and all the plants have blossomed forth.
This mind blossoms forth, in association with the True Guru.
So meditate on the True Lord, O my foolish mind.
Only then shall you find peace, O my mind.
This mind blossoms forth, and I am in ecstasy.
I am blessed with the Ambrosial Fruit of the Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe.
Everyone speaks and says that the Lord is the One and Only.
By understanding the Hukam of His Command, we come to know the One Lord.
Says Nanak, no one can describe the Lord by speaking through ego.
All speech and insight comes from our Lord and Master.

banasapath moulee charriaa basa(n)th

aakhan vaekhan sabh saahib thae hoe

action

Let karma happen naturally and effortlessly. Do not under-do it or over-do it. It is the separation ''I'' in the consciousness that makes you run into anxiety spoiling your health and well-being. Will is the wonderful name of the ego. So wilfull dedication to God can be a device of the ''I'' to remain divided from God! Divinity is the natural state of life. Division is the notorious affair of mind.
