Even for an Instant

[Dhan Teri Sikhi]

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

karam dhharam paakha(n)dd jo dheesehi thin jam jaagaathee loottai ||

The religious rites, rituals and hypocrisies which are seen, are plundered by the Messenger of Death, the ultimate tax collector.

nirabaan keerathan gaavahu karathae kaa nimakh simarath jith shhoottai ||1||

In the state of Nirvaanaa, sing the Kirtan of the Creator's Praises; contemplating Him in meditation, even for an instant, one is saved. ||1||

sa(n)thahu saagar paar outhareeai ||

O Saints, cross over the world-ocean.

jae ko bachan kamaavai sa(n)than kaa so gur parasaadhee thareeai ||1|| rehaao ||

One who practices the Teachings of the Saints, by Guru's Grace, is carried across. ||1||Pause||

kott theerathh majan eisanaanaa eis kal mehi mail bhareejai || Millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage only fill the mortal with filth in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.

saadhhasa(n)g jo har gun gaavai so niramal kar leejai ||2||

One who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, becomes spotlessly pure. ||2||

baedh kathaeb simrith sabh saasath einh parriaa mukath n hoee ||

One may read all the books of the Vedas, the Bible, the Simritees and the Shaastras, but they will not bring liberation.

eaek akhar jo guramukh jaapai this kee niramal soee ||3|| One who, as Gurmukh, chants the One Word, acquires a spotlessly pure reputation. ||3||

khathree braahaman soodh vais oupadhaes chahu varanaa ko saajhaa ||

The four castes - the Kh'shaatriyas, Brahmins, Soodras and Vaishyas - are equal in respect to the teachings.

guramukh naam japai oudhharai so kal mehi ghatt ghatt naanak maajhaa ||4||3||50||

One who, as Gurmukh, chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is saved. In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, O Nanak, God is permeating the hearts of each and every being. ||4||3||50||

Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru
