 "PEHLAAN MARAN KABOOL Jeevan ki chad aas" (SGGS) What if, this day Was my last On this earth today? Would I be thinking of eating Or shopping Or even working?.... Would I want to get mad at anyone? Even if they hurt my feelings so I would forgive them And pray for them Even if they wanted to hate me, though.. Would I want to waste time gossiping Or talking Or even spend a moment bad mouthing Anyone? Why would I want to chase after money? Knowing it would not go with me When my soul is exiting From this world...and time is finishing... Let me live my life As the Guru teaches For breaths are not promised And life is Oh so short Despite our wishes... Let me cry out to you, Waheguru Help me feel you close Let not a moment pass When I am not chanting your name Despite this world's cravings & vices so enchanting.... I want to feel everyday To be my last And only then will my soul Not waiver from its path And do the right things In awe of the Guru's grace... When I feel death close I become deathless To merge with the Guru And to feel your presence, Waheguru I hold on to you..... I ponder and ask myself this question again and again... What if, this day Was my last On this earth today? Vaninder(Lovey) Kaur 08/04/16 |
