The shabads convey a deep message of truth and are sung with heartfelt devotion. They express the intense longing of the soul for union with the Lord. These songs of devotion are prayers that inspire the true seeker to turn inwards to contact the ultimate Truth - the inner divine music that reverberates within every being.
English Translation:
Live in the will of the Master, my friend,
and hold it dear to your heart.
Consider as kindness whatever the Master does
and accept with an open heart
whatever the Master says.
Learn the meaning of gratitude, O thoughtless one!
He will give you happiness or pain
as he in his wisdom thinks fit.
Your indulgence in sense pleasures is a perversion
for which, out of his love for you,
he might punish and chastise you.
I cannot stress this enough:
thank him every moment,
for without the Master no one can help.
Be not overjoyed in moments of happiness,
accept your pains without bitterness.
Do not forget him even for a moment,
in happiness or pain rely only on him for support.
The Master and Shabd - these are your friends.
Hold them in your heart - nothing else matters.
They are the true Lord, they are the Creator,
one day they will take you across the ocean.
Sacrifice yourself to them mind and soul -
no one else exists for you in this whole world.
The Master and Shabd
constantly look after your best interests -
they are the protectors of your body and mind.
Be grateful and keep them always in your heart,
they will drive away all pain from your life.
But what can they do? Your mind is unworthy,
you keep on drifting with the currents of poison.
You don’t accept their advice,
again and again you plunge into sensual pleasures.
That is why you undergo punishment,
and yet, in your foolishness, you do not listen.
You must endure whatever befalls you now,
but you can go to the Master and beg for his help.
Be quick, hold fast to him,
for he alone will save you.
Be alert and seek protection at his feet,
your only haven.
Day and night you committed all kinds of sins
and ignored the Master’s advice.
So now you suffer agonies
from which only the beloved Master can save you.
Stay in the company of Radha Soami
so you may again catch the Shabd of Agam.
This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
