Thirr kar baisso Har jan pyare; Satgur tumre kaaj saware – Raag Gauree – Ang 201

SGGS Angg 201.

Raag Gauree (Gauri) M.5

All of us live in some home. Some own the home, some rent it, some share with others. Some unfortunate one use a park bench to spend the night. All have some physical area which is their place of rest. Within our bodies too, the Gurus say there is a nijhi ghar, our true home – our true origin. This nijhi ghar is in our minds where God Himself resides. It is at a Plane/Dimension beyond maya, decay, disease or any other. Only God dwells there. A rare person as a gurmukh reaches that Plane (avastha), with Gur Parsad.

“Aggam roop ka mann me Thanaa; Gur Parsad kinne virlay jaanaa.”(Ang 185).

In this Shabad, Guru Ji advises the Sikh to remain steady in the home of his own self; as you reach there, the Satguru resolves all your affairs.

“Thirr kar baisso Har jan pyare; Satgur tumre kaaj saware.”(rahao).

The Lord strikes down the wicked and evil; the Creator Lord preserves the honor of His servants.

“Dusht doot Parmeshar marey; jann ki paij rakhi Kartarey.”

He places emperors and kings under His Power; (in the nijhi ghar – at that Plane), he drinks in the most sublime essence of Naam.

“Baadshah shah sabh vass kar dinay; amrit Naam maha rass pinay.”

He becomes fearless as he meditates upon the Lord; and he receives this Gift in Sadhsanggat.

“Nirbhao hoye bhajo Bhagvaan; Sadhsanggat mil kinno daan.”

I have taken the Sanctuary of the Knower of hearts; Nanak holds tight to the Support of the Lord Master.

“Sharan parey Prabh Antarjamee; Nanak Ote pakri Prabh Suami.”
