Jorro Ri Koi Surat Naam Se - Soami Ji Maharaj - RSSB Shabad

These shabads are hymns or spiritual poems written by saints and mystics from different spiritual traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The shabads convey a deep message of truth and are sung with heartfelt devotion. They express the intense longing of the soul for union with the Lord. These songs of devotion are prayers that inspire the true seeker to turn inwards to contact the ultimate Truth - the inner divine music that reverberates within every being.
English Translation:
Let there be someone to merge his soul with Nam.
This body and this wealth would be of no use to you
when you have to fight with Yama.
The opportunity you have received now is truly splendid,
attain eternal peace and escape from the intense heat of the world.
Extricate your mind from the worldly cravings
do your simran and serve the Master.
Maintain some control over the mind and the senses
and sip the nectar of love from the Master’s cup.
Free yourself from the clutches of the mind
then, you would find place to rest and attain your destination.
Completely relinquish indolence and persevere in your meditation;
extricate yourself from the domain of Kal.
Plead with the Master with every breath;
only he can save you from the bonds of this mortal frame.
There is no other recourse, O dear,
except doing incessant simran, day and night.
With love remain always in the company of the saints
and refrain from all the entanglements of this world.
Radhasoami has explained the facts,
follow and merge yourself with Satnam.
This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
