NO TIME..NO TIME.

I Knelt To Pray But Not For Long,
I Had Too Much To Do.

I Had To Hurry And Get To Work
For Bills Would Soon Be Due.

So I Knelt And Said A Hurried Prayer,
And Jumped Up Off My Knees.
My Religious Duty Was Now Done
My Soul Could Rest At Ease.....

All Day Long I Had No Time
To Spread A Word Of Cheer
No Time To Speak Of God To Friends,
They'd Laugh At Me I'd Fear.

No Time, No Time,

Too Much To Do,
That Was My Constant Cry
No Time To Give To Souls In Need

But At Last The Time Came,

The Time To Die,
I Went Before The Lord.

I Came, I Stood With Downcast Eyes.
For In His Hands God Held A Book;

It Was The Book Of Life.

God Looked Into His Book And Said
'Your Name I Cannot Find,

I Once Was Going To Write It Down...

But Never Found The Time'

P.S : I just found and went through this prayer poetry today, and I found that apart from interesting, it is the picture of most of us, like we are in a constant rush, even in our time into His devotion.

God is a very jealous lover, He does not want anything from us, just our mind. Once the mind is given, then He gives Himself to us in exchange.

Sat Sree Akal.

Lab lobẖ ahaʼnkār ṯaj ṯarisnā bahuṯ nāhī bolṇā.

They renounce avarice, covetousness, pride and talk not much.

Gobind Jeeo toon mere pran adhaar

A beautiful Shabad from the Bani of Fifth Patshahee in Raag Saarang, where Guru Jee tells us, about Wahiguru being His sole objective of His devotion, and how through His kirpa, one joins Sadh Sangat, does the right bhakti, and one obtains the treasure beyond measure, which is Wahiguru Himself.

The frecuency of Wahiguru

Wahiguru is present within us all, as the frecuency of Naam.

And all we have to do, is to tune ourselves to it, through His Simran.
