Hymns of Guru Tegh Bahadur - Songs of Nirvana
Translation and commentary by Trilochan Singh..Posted by Balvinder Singh..Sikhnet
The vision of God
ram naam ur mai gaheo ja kai sam nahi koe SGGS Page 1429 Shloka
The Name of the Lord, Ever burns in my heart, There is nothing like it in the world; By meditating on him, Pain and sorrow depart, And man sees the vision of God.
The flame of love that burns in the heart of devotees of Truth changes into perpetual light revealing His presence and Existence in all its unity and diversity. This presence can be intuitively felt and seen by the disciplined meditation of divine Name, the mystic Word of God; and through it man rises above his mundane life of sorrow and pain. He sees the light of God revealed in full refulgence within himself and all around him. He wins the love and grace of God and attains the peace of Nirvana, the joy of eternal life, where there is no sorrow and grief, but only illumination and everlasting communion with the Eternal. Thus is revealed to the true seeker the hidden mystery of Truth of truths, the vision and Light of God.
To be contd...
