while i am not a Sikh, i have been reading through an english
translation of the Guru Granth Sahib, and find it incredibly clear
and beautiful. i would like to share the following lines: while i
read them, i realized how much of a blessing it is to remember to
pray, to meditate, to submit and listen, even as there are many
people who do not have the thought or the hope to do so.
from Raag Maajh:
One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being
Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth,
Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is pleasing to my mind.
By great good fortune, I meditate on the Lord's Name.
The Perfect Guru has attained spiritual perfection in the Name of
the Lord. How rare are those who follow the Guru's Teachings.
I have loaded my pack with the provisions of the Name of the Lord,
Har, Har.
The Companion of my breath of life shall always be with me.
