[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 180857, member: 12855"] In an attempt to bring more Gurbani into our lives it would be great to analyse one shabad every week. It will be wonderful to get your thoughts about what the shabad is telling us and how we can implement it into our lives. The more contributors, the more we learn! [ATTACH=full]7845[/ATTACH] This is my interpretation of a shabad on Ang 48, inspired mostly by Prof Sahib Singh. The lines in blue are the literal English translation, the lines in green are my interpretation ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ [SIZE=4][COLOR=Green]The person who accepts that the guru is compassionate can find the support of Akaal Purakh.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=Green]With the help of the Guru’s teachings, escape can be obtained from all the tangles from the influences of maya.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=Green]That persons mind remains connected to Parmatma, and with the blessings of the amrit of Bani, that mind flourishes.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=Green]O my mind, carefully perform the Seva instructed by the Guru.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=Green]Do not forget Akaal Purakh for even an instant, for the wink of an eye.
