I learnt these shabads!. We will sing in the assembly tomorrow (27th November) to celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti in school. We have a holiday on 28th.
It tells us to remember God and always have faith in Him.
Parth
जो मांगे ठाकुर अपने ते
सोई-सोई देवै|
नानक दास मुःख ते जो बोले
इहा-उहा सच होवे ।
जो मांगे ठाकुर अपने ते
सोई-सोई देवै |
जिसके सिर ऊपर तू स्वामी
सो दुःख कैसा पावे
मोल न जाणे माया मद माता
मरना चीत न आए ।
I asked Nana to explain what it means:
[1] God gives whatever is asked from Him. Whatever Nanak speaks becomes true here and hereafter.
[1] One who has You over his head, O Lord, how can he suffer any pain. When intoxicated with Maya, he doesn’t know how to speak and he doesn’t remember death.
