The Lost Soul Bride


Recommended Posts

My Soul cries out in pain,

“Oh husband, oh husband”

I have been separated from my beloved lord for so long!

I am ashamed, and run around the village screaming,

“Oh husband, oh husband”

But Daas still cannot find him.

I waste away my life

Attached to the five evils.

What kind of servant am I?

Oh daas, can you not think of your master for even one second?

Kaam pulls me through the village by the ear,

All the other soul brides laugh at my misery.

I still cannot find my husband.

Oh daas, do you even look?

Krodh beats my head like a drum,

I yell and scream at the other soul brides,

All my friends have left me,

But daas, where is your only true friend?

Have you forgotten him?

Lobh controls my hands,

They move about quickly, taking everything they see,

Why are the other soul brides so happy,

while I cry and suffer?

Oh daas, where is your master now?

Moh sticks to me like a glue,

I chase the other soul brides around,

But all other attachments are false,

Oh daas, don’t you know you only have one lord god?

I thought I saw my beloved,

I walk about the village proud,

I have my head up, and my chest puffed up,

Oh poor daas, Ahankar has its noose around your neck!

I am false,

My friends are false,

My family is false,

Oh daas, everything in this great illusion is false,

Why can you not see?

I see other soul brides,

Running around screaming,

“Oh husband, oh husband”

they cannot find their beloved either!

I point and laugh and tell others of their misery.

Oh daas, you slander and slander,

But what will your husband say?

I cannot esc

ape my evil,

I cry and cry and cry,

I search for the true guru,

Oh daas, how can you look when you are blind?

The others in the village tie me up,

I have gone mad they say,

I cannot find my husband,

I fall on my knees crying,

The others only laugh,

They say I have abandoned my husband.

Oh daas, go home to your beloved!

I run around the village naked,

The other soul brides throw stones,

I cry in pain and agony.

Oh daas, there is no other pain,

Than that of separation from your lord

I run from the village ashamed,

I cannot find my home,

I think my husband abandoned me,

Oh daas, the true lord abandons no one,

It is you who are lost!

Daas searches and searches,

but with no eyes,

It is like running around in the dark,

Oh daas, the true lord god is your only savior,

Without him you are lost.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
