All Shabads (Popularity)

Currently Playing: Gun Gobind Gaayo Nahi - Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji - RSSB Shabad

These shabads are hymns or spiritual poems written by saints and mystics from different spiritual traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The shabads convey a deep message of truth and are sung with heartfelt devotion. They express the intense longing of the soul for union with the Lord. These songs of devotion are prayers that inspire the true seeker to turn inwards to contact the ultimate Truth – the inner divine music that reverberates within every being. English Translation: If you have not sung the praises of the Lord, you have wasted your life in vain. Says Nanak: Meditate on God, O man, in the way that the fish loves water. Why are you engrossed in sensual pleasures and not detached even for a moment? Says Nanak: Contemplate on God, O man, so that death’s noose does not fall on you. Your youth has passed away in vain and old age has overcome your body. Says Nanak: Dwell on God, O man; your life is fleeting. You have become old and you do not understand that death is overtaking you. Says Nanak: You are insane, why don’t you remember and meditate on God? Your wealth, spouse, and all the possessions that you claim as your own – none of these will go with you in the end. O Nanak, know this to be true. He is the saving grace of sinners, the destroyer of fear, the Master of the masterless. Says Nanak: Realize and know him who is always with you. You do not enshrine affection for the One who has given you a human body and riches. Says Nanak: O crazy man, why do you waver now like a wretched person? He has bestowed on you life, wealth, property, happiness and beautiful mansions; Says Nanak: Listen, O my self – why don’t you contemplate the Lord? The Lord is the giver of all comforts. Without him, there is none other. Says Nanak: Listen, O my soul, meditating on him, salvation is obtained. Remember Him, O my friend; by contemplating Him, one is emancipated. Says Nanak: Listen, O mortal, your age is constantly slipping away.. O clever and wise man, know that your body is made up of five elements. Be sure, O Nanak, that you will blend with Him from whom you have sprung. The saints proclaim: the venerable Lord abides in all hearts. Says Nanak: Contemplate him, O my soul, so that you may cross the terrible world-ocean. This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
