Basics of Sikhi's video: 27 The BEST way to experience God The Story of Bhagat Farid Ji - Salok Mahalla 9 English Katha

Over and over again, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji reminds us that this life is not permanent! Don’t wait until later, tomorrow or next week, Guru Ji says enjoy the bliss of Vaheguru now! How? Sing the praises of Vaheguru (Wondrous Enlightener, God). In this age of darkness, where the five vices (lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride) wreak havoc on our spiritual journey to Vaheguru, singing the praises of Vaheguru will save us. When we get that ras (sweetness) from the love of Vaheguru, just as Bhagat Farid Ji did, then and only then, nothing else will compare to that bliss. Saloks , 48 & 49 of Salok Mehalla 9: ਸਿਰੁ ਕੰਪਿਓ ਪਗ ਡਗਮਗੇ ਨੈਨ ਜੋਤਿ ਤੇ ਹੀਨ ॥ sir kanpio pag ddagmage nain jot te heen | The head shakes, the feet stagger, and the eyes become dull and weak. ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਭਈ ਤਊ ਨ ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਲੀਨ ॥੪੭॥ kahu naanak eh bidh bhe-ee taoo na har ras leen |47| Says Nanak, this is your condition. Even now, you have not savoured the sublime essence of Vaheguru. ____________________________________________________________________ ਨਿਜ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖਿਓ ਜਗਤੁ ਮੈ ਕੋ ਕਾਹੂ ਕੋ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ nij kar dekhio jagat mai ko kaahoo ko naahi | I had looked upon the world as my own, but no one belongs to anyone else. ਨਾਨਕ ਥਿਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੈ ਤਿਹ ਰਾਖੋ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥੪੮॥ naanak thir har bhagat hai tih raakho man maahi |48| O Nanak, only devotional worship of Vaheguru is permanent; enshrine this in your mind. ____________________________________________________________________ ਜਗ ਰਚਨਾ ਸਭ ਝੂਠ ਹੈ ਜਾਨਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਰੇ ਮੀਤ ॥ jag rachnaa sabh jhootth hai jaan lehu re meet | The world and its affairs are totally false; know this well, my friend. ਕਹਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਥਿਰੁ ਨਾ ਰਹੈ ਜਿਉ ਬਾਲੂ ਕੀ ਭੀਤਿ ॥੪੯॥ keh naanak thir naa rahai jio baaloo kee bheet |49| Says Nanak, it is like a wall of sand; it shall not endure.
