  Speaker 1: Compositions of Guru Gobin Singh thirty three sayas quatrains. The
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: following thirty three is sawayas are also read in ab
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Chalangar and other places. While the Sikh baptismal water is
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: being prepared. Several Orthodox Seeks say that these are the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: soayas which ought always to be read at the baptism,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And of this indeed there is internal evidence. One he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: who repeateth night and day the name of Him whose
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: enduring light is unquenchable, who bestoweth not a thought on
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: any but the One God, who hath full love and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: confidence in God, who putteth not faith even by mistake,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in fasting or worshiping cemeteries, places of cremation or Yogi's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: places of sepulture, who only recognizeth the One God, in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: not pilgrimages, alms, the non destruction of light, Hindo penances
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: or austerities, and in whose heart the light of the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Perfect One shineth. He is recognized as a pure member
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of the Calso two. God is true, eternal, true to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: his promise. He is from the beginning, without beginning, unfathomabable
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and invincible. Bounty, mercy, self control, austerities, daily ceremonies, continents, fasting, clemency,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: religious observances are all contained in the name of the immutable.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He is from the beginning pure, without a beginning, infinite, endless,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: without enmity, without fear. He hath form, and is without
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: form or outline. He groweth not old. He is compassionate
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and merciful to the poor. Three. God is from the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: beginning without enmity, without God, great, true, refulgent, and respondent.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: He feeleth the inmost hearts of all meditation on him.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The real thing curbeth natural inclinations. Thou wert in the beginning,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: before the ages, before the world, O God, Thou art
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all pervading and dwellest in every heart, compassionate to the poor,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: merciful mind of mercy, from the beginning, unborn, invincible and deestructible.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: For in the beginning, indestructible and perishable, everlasting, O God.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: The vEDS and the books of the Massamans have found
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not thy secret compassionate to the poor, merciful ocean of mercy, true, everlasting,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: diffused in every heart. Sheeshnog Indar Ganesh and shef have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: searched the vEDS, but found not thy depth. O foolish man, say,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: why hast thou forgotten God, who is ever manifest? Five?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: God is immovable from the beginning, stainless, infinite, true and everlasting.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He is adored as primeval, unconceived and born free from
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: old age, supremely pure, illimitable. He is well known as
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the self existent, renowned in the whole world. One, Yet
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in different places, Oh, base man, why recognize not God,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: who is without stain? Six? O Creator, Thou art imperishable,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: from the beginning, without blemish, without limits, true and eternal.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Thou ever providest sustenance for all animals which are in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: sea and land. The vEDS, the Purans, the Koran describe
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: thee in various ways. In the rest of the world,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: there is at last naught but the O divine one.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Thou art sovereign ruler over all. Seven. Thou art known
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as from the beginning unfathomable, imperishable, indivisible, invisible, invincible, and illimitable.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Thou art in the past, the future, the present, Thou
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: art adored in every place. Demi God's demons, shesh Nagdad
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and Sarrazawati recognize THEE as true and eternal. The Korans
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and the Koran know not the secrets of the compassionate
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to the poor. The ocean of mercy. Eight o true,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: an eternal, one perpetual is Thy dominion. It is thou
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: who madest the Beds and the Koran. Thou didst appoint
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Demigod's demons shesh nag the past and the present, from
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the beginning, before the ages, the stainless, the indestructible, Thy
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: light is seen, though thou art unseen, Oh, foolish man,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: who hath come to tell thee of the invisible God?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Nine Demigods, demons, shesh Nag, serpents, famous Sids have done
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: great penance. The vEDS, the Parans, the Koran, all have
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: grown weary singing thy praises of God. But thou art
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: not known unto them. Thou knowest all hearts on earth,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in heaven and in the nether regions, and in every direction.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Thy praises fill the earth. They entering my heart told
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: me this. Ten the vEDS and the books of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Musclemans have not found God's secret. All the Sids have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: grown weary contemplating him. The Sumit Trees, Shahstar's, ved and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Parans all describe Him in various ways. But God, who
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was in the beginning, and who had no beginning, whose
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: story is unfathomable, cannot be known. He saved Dru Rue,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: prah Lad and a Jamal. The Krtazan was saved by
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: repeating God's name. That name is my support, the object
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of my thoughts. Eleven. All recognize that God was in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the beginning, that he had no beginning, that He is unfathomable, eternal,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and perfect. The godd Harbes, the Yakshahs, Sheshnog, the earth
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: dwelling serpents, the firmament in the four quarters of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: world know God. The visible and invisible worlds, the eight Directions,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the demons as well as the demi gods, all worship God,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: O man of ignorant mind, through regard for whom hast
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: thou forgotten, the omniscient, the self existent, the treasure twelve.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Some fasten an idle firmly to their breasts. Some say
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that Sheive is God. Some say that God is in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the temple of the Hindus. Others believe that he is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in the mosque of the Massolmans. Some say that Ram
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is God, some say Kraishon. Some in their hearts accept
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the incarnations as God. But I have forgotten all vain
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: religion and know in my heart that the Creator is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the only God. Thirteen Ye say that God is unconceived
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and unborn? How could he have been born from the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: womb of kr Salyiah? If he whom we call Krashan
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: were God? Why was he subject to death? Why should God,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: whom ye describe as holy and without enmity have driven
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: our John's chariot worship as God, him whose secret none
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: hath known or shall know? Fourteen say Kushan were the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ocean of mercy? Why should the hunter's arrow have struck him?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: If he can save other family, why did he destroy
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: his own? Say? Why did he who called himself the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: eternal and the unconceived enter into the womb of Davaki?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Why did he who had no father or mother called
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Vasudev his father? Fifteen hy call Shiv God? And why
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: speak of Brahma as God? God is not Ram Chandhar
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Krishan or Vishnu, whom ye supposed to be lords of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the world, shuk Dev, Parasar and vayaz Erd. In abandoning
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the one God and worshiping many gods, all have set
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: up false religions. I in every way believe that there
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is but one God. Sixteen. Some worship Brahma as God.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Others point to Shiv as God. Some say that Vishnu
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is the lord of the world, and that by worshiping
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: him all sins are erased. Think on this, a thousand
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: times old fool. At the last hour, all thy gods
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: will forsake thee Meditate on him in thy heart, who was,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is and ever shall be seventeen. He who made millions
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of Indars, He who made and destroyed some millions of bahwans, demons, demi, gods, serpents, shesh, nags,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: birds and beasts innumerable, to whom till today Shiv and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Brahma are doing penance without finding his limit. He whose
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: secrets of Vez in the Koran have not penetrated. Is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the great being whom the Guru hath shown me eighteen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: O man, by attitudes of contemplation matted here and the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: overgrown nails of thy hands Thou deceivest all people. Thou
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: goest about with ashes on thy face, and cheatst all
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the demigods and the demons. Addicted to avarice, Thou wanderest
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: from house to house the means by which yog is obtained.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Thou hast all forgotten. Thou hast lost all shame and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: succeeded in nothing. Without love God cannot be obtained. Nineteen Oh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: foolish man, why play the hypocrite? Thou losest thy honor
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: by practicing hypocrisy? Oh cheat, Why cheat people? This world
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is lost to thee, and so is the next. Where
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the compassionate to the poort dwell. There shalt thou find
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: no place? Think? Oh think thou thoughtless and grateful. The
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: unseen is not found by assuming garbs twenty Why worship
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of stone? God is not in a stone? Worship him
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: as God. By the worship of whom all thy sins
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: shall be erased, And by uttering whose name thou shalt
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: be freed from all thy mental and bodily entanglements. Make
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the meditation of God. Ever thy rule of action. No
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: advantage can be obtained by the practice of false religion.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Twenty one False religion is without fruit. By the worship
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of stones, Thou hast wasted millions of ages. How can
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: perfection be obtained by touching stones? Nay? Strength and prosperity
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: thus decrease, and the nine treasures are not obtained. Time
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: passes away while saying today today, thou shalt not accomplish
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: thine object. Art Thou not ashamed, o fool, Thou hast
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not worshiped God, So thy life hath been passed in vain.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Twenty two. If for ages thou do penance to a stone,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it will never rejoice thee O fool. It will never
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: generously lift its arm to requite thee say what confidence
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: can be placed in it? When trouble ariseth, it will
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not come to save thee O ignorant and obstinate man,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: be assured that thy false religion and superstition will ruin THEE.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Twenty three All are bound in the meshes of death.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: No Ram or Moslim prophet was able to save himself. God,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: having created, destroyed and will again create and destroy demons,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: demigods and shash nags, They who were called incarnations in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the world. It last died before men's eyes and remorse,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Oh fickle man, why not run to touch the feet
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of God above. Twenty four Brahma appeared by God's order, and,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: taking his staff and water pot, wandered upon earth. We
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: know that she was born at the appointed time and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: visited all countries. The world was created and destroyed at
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the appointed time. Wherefore, let all recognize God, renouncing all
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the subtleties of the vEDS and the Koran. I worship
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: God alone the treasury of mercy. Twenty five, Oh, blockhead,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: thy life hath passed in thy present occupations. Thou hast
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: not thought in thy heart of the merciful God, abandoning shame.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Thou hast grown shameless and leaving thy proper work. Hast
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: done useless work for thyself. When thou hadst horses and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: great royal elephants, Thou foolishly thoughtest to ride on donkeys.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Thou didst not worship God, O fool, and so didst
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: shamefully spoil thy good business. Twenty six Thou hast for
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: long read the vEDS in the books of the Musselmans,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: but not found a secret in them. Thou hast wandered
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in various places to worship, but the one God thou
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: hast never seeded in thy heart. Thou hast bowed thy
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: head to stones and cemeteries, but obtained not, Oh foolish man,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: forsaking the manifest God. Why art thou entangled in thine
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: obstinacy Twenty seven. If anyone go to a monastery of Yogis,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: they will ask him to repeat the name of Goak.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: If anyone go to a monastery of san Ya'a sees,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they will say that only that Trote is true, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they will give him his name as the spell of initiation.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: If anyone go to the Mussulmans, they will seize and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: convert him to the faith of Muhammad. Every sect deem
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it that the Creator is with itself alone, but no
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: one can disclose the Creator's secrets. Twenty eight. If anyone
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: go to the Yogis, they will tell him to give everything,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: house and property to them. If anyone hast send Yah sees,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: they will tell him to part with his house in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the name of Datatra. If anyone go to the Massans,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: they will tell him to bring all his property it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: wants and give it to them. Everyone saith bring me,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: bring me, but nobody will show me God. Twenty nine.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: If anyone serve the massans, they will say, fetch and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: give us all thine offerings. Go at once and make
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a present to us of whatever property is in thy house.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Think on us night and day, and mention not others,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: even by mistake. If they hear of anyone giving, they
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: run to him even at night. They are not at
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: all pleased at not receiving thirty. They put oil into
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: their eyes to make people believe that they are shedding tears.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: If they see any of their own worshipers wealthy, they
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: serve up sacred food and feed him with it. If
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: they see him without wealth, they give him nothing, though
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he beg for it. They will not even show him
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: their faces. Those beasts splunder men, and never seeing the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: praises of the Supreme being thirty one, they close their
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: eyes like cranes and offer the world a spectacle of deceit.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: They go about with their heads bowed down like poachers.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Cats on seeing such attitudes would be ashamed. The more
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: they go about clinging to the hope of wealth, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: more they lose this world and the next. Thou hast
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: not repeated God's name, O fool, that why art thou
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: entangled in thy domestic affairs thirty two. Why impress false
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: religion on the world. It will be of no service
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Thou shalt not be able to fly from death's mermidans son,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Why friend's disciple, companions, None of these will bear it
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: witness for thee. Think oh, think thou thoughtless and great brute,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Thou shalt, at the last moment have to depart alone.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Thirty three. Here o fool. When life leaveth thy body,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: thy wife crying out, ghost, ghost will flee thee, thy son,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: thy wife, thy friends and companions will give orders to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: remove THEE quickly. When life leaveth thy body, all thy mansions, storehouses,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: lands and forts will become the property of others. Think O,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: think thou thoughtless and great brute, Thou shalt, at the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: last moment have to depart alone. In of compositions of
