Today, it is a pleasure to present selections from Siree Raag 50 and 51, which expound on the idea that the purpose of life is to find and follow God for eternal liberation. “You worthless, faithless cynic-recognize your own origin! This body is made of blood and semen. It shall be consigned to the fire in the end. The body is under the power of the breath, according to the True Sign inscribed upon your forehead. Everyone begs for a long life- no one wishes to die. A life of peace and comfort comes to that Gurmukh, within whom God dwells. Without the Naam, what good those who do not have the Blessed Vision, the Darshan of the Lord and Guru?”“The whole world is a store-house of lamp-black; the body and mind are blackened with it. Those who are saved by the Guru are immaculate and pure; through the Word of the Shabad, they extinguish the fire of desire. O Nanak, they swim across with the True Name of the Lord, the King above the heads of kings. May I never forget the Name of the Lord!”“They have made this their resting place and they sit at home, but the urge to depart is always there. This would be known as a lasting place of rest, only if they were to remain stable and unchanging. What sort of a resting place is this world? Doing deeds of faith, pack up the supplies for your journey, and remain committed to the Name. The Yogis sit in their Yogic postures, and the Mullahs sit at their resting stations. The Hindu Pandits recite from their books, and the Siddhas sit in the temples of their gods. The angels, Siddhas, worshippers of Shiva, heavenly musicians, silent sages, Saints, priests, preachers, spiritual teachers and commanders – each and every one has left, and all others shall depart as well. The sultans and kings, the rich and the mighty, have marched away in succession. In a moment or two, we shall also depart. O my heart, understand that you must go as well! This is described in the Shabads; only a few understand this!”
