  Speaker 1: Section thirty eight of Sikh Religion, Volume five by Max

  Speaker 1: Arthur McAuliffe. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: compositions of Urugo Bin Singh, Hazar chabbed O Man. Practice
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: asceticism in this way. Consider thy house altogether as the forest,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and remain anchorate at heart. Make continents thy matted hair,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: union with God, thy ablutions, thy daily religious duties, the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: growth of thy nails, divine knowledge, thy spiritual guide. Admonish
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: thy heart, and apply God's name as ashes to thy body.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Eat little sleep, little love, mercy, and forbearance. Ever, practice
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: mildness and patience, and thou shalt be freed from the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: three qualities attached not to thy heart, lust, wrath, covetousness, obstinacy,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and worldly love. Thus shalt thou behold the real soul
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of this world and obtain the supreme being oh Man.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Practice yog in this way. Make truth thy horn, sincerity
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: thy necklace, and apply meditation as ashes to thy body.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Make restraint of thy heart, thy liar, and the support
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of the name thine alms. Play the primal essence as
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: thy strings, and thou shalt hear God's sweet song by
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the practice of the songs of divine knowledge, waves of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: melody and exquisite pleasure shall be produced. The demons and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the demigods in their celestial charts will be astonished, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the munis intoxicated with delight. Admonish thy heart down the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: garb of self restraint and utter God's name inaudibly. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: shall thy body ever remain like gold and death, never
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: approach thee, Oh mortal touch the feet of the supreme Being.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Why sleepst thou the sleep of worldly love be sometimes
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: wakeful and alert? Why instruct others o beast, since thou
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: hast no knowledge thyself? Why ever accumulate sin even now?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Lay aside the love of it? Deem such things simply
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: as errors and love truly religious acts, ever, lay up
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the remembrance of God. Renounce and flee from mortal sin.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: By this means, shalt thou not encounter sorrow or sin
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and escape from Death's news If thou desire ever to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have happiness of every kind be absorbed in God's love.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Oh God, my honor resteth with thee. It is thou
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: who art the blue throated manlin moving in the water,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: blue robed, wearing a necklace of flowers. It is thou
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: who art the primal being, supreme God, Lord, pure, living
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on air. It is thou who art the Lord of Lakshmi,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: great Light, destroyer of the pride of Madu, bestower of salvation,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: destroyer of mirr. It is thou who art changeless and decaying,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: sleepless without evil passions, preserver from hell, ocean of mercy,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: served the past, present and future, effacer of evil acts.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It is thou who hast the bow in the hand,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: who art patient, supporter of the earth, changeless, wielder of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the sort I of feeble intellect have taken the protection
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of thy feet. Take my hand and save me. O man,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: worship none but God, not a thing made by Him.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Know that he who was in the beginning unborn, invincible,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and indestructible is God. What if Vishnu, coming into this world,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: killed some of the demons, and, exercising great deceit in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: induced everyone to call him God, How can he who
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: himself did not escape from the stroke of the sword
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of death be deemed God, the destroyer, the fashioner, the omnipotent,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the eternal here O fool? How can he who was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: drowned in the ocean of the world save THEE. Thou
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: shalt only escape from Death's news when thou seesest the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: feet of him who existed before the world. When the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Guru left dam Dama, his disciples sent a messenger after
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: him to tell him of their sad plight. The following
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is the complaint as versified by the Guru. Others say
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that the hemn was addressed to God by the Guru himself.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Tell the dear Friend the condition of his disciples without thee.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: The wearing of our blankets is a disease to us,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and dwelling in our houses is as if we dwelt
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: with serpents. Our water pots, our stakes of torture are
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: cups are daggers. Thy turning away from us is like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what animals endure from butchers. Our beloved's palate would be
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: pleasant to us. Living in towns is like living in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a furnace. God alone is the creator, the beginning, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the end of all things endless. The fashioner and the destroyer,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to whom blame and praise are the same, who hath
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: no enemy, no friend. What necessity had he to become
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the driver of our John's chariot? The bestower of salvation.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Hath no father, mother, cast son or grandson. Why should
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he have come into the world to be called the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: son of Devaki? When he who created Demigod's demons, the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: eight disrections and all extension, is called by the name
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of Murar. What glory is it to him? How can
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: God be in human form? Sids have grown weary sitting
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in contemplation of him, but they have not been able
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to see him in any way. Such persons as Neurad, Bias, Parasar,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and Drew have deeply meditated on him. The beds in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the Purans have grown weary and abandoned their purpose since
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they could form no conception of him. Demons Demigod's fiend
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: sprites describe him as indescribable. The faith will consider him
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as the settlest of the subtle, and again pointed him
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: out as the largest of the large, the one God,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: having made the earth, the heaven, and all the nether regions.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: They call many. He who entereth God's asylum shall be
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: saved from death's noos. I recognize none but the One God.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I know God as the destroyer of the fashion of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the omnipotent and eternal creator what availeth it? Two men
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to worship stones in various ways with great love and devotion.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: The hand groweth weary by touching stones, and no spiritual
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: power is obtained. Rice and sense lamps are offered to stones,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but they eat nothing. What spiritual power is in them?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: O fool? What blessing can they bestow on thee? If
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they had life, they might give THEE something? Be assured
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of this and thought were it in deep Except in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the protection of the one soul God, know where is salvation?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Without God's name? Thou canst not be saved? How shalt
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: thou flee from Him who holdeth the fourteen worlds in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his power? Ram and Rahem, whose names thou repeatest, cannot
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: save thee. Brahma, Vishnu, Siv, the Sun and Moon are
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: all in the power of death, The Ves, the Parans,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Koran, all sex in Darsheshnag. The kings of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Munis meditated for many ages on him who is called
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the indescribable, but could form no conception of him. Why
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: should he whose form and color are not known be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: called black? When thou shalt seize and cling to God's feet,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: thou shalt be freed from the news of death. End
