Saas saas simro Gobind (Each breath you take, remember Him)
ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸੁਨਿ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ॥
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਕਰਿ ਪੇਖੁ ॥
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਸਿਮਰਹੁ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ॥
ਮਨ ਅੰਤਰ ਕੀ ਉਤਰੈ ਚਿੰਦ ॥
ਆਸ ਅਨਿਤ ਤਿਆਗਹੁ ਤਰੰਗ ॥
ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਕੀ ਧੂਰਿ ਮਨ ਮੰਗ ॥
ਆਪੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਕਰਹੁ ॥
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਅਗਨਿ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਤਰਹੁ ॥
ਹਰਿ ਧਨ ਕੇ ਭਰਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਭੰਡਾਰ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਨਮਸਕਾਰ ॥੧॥
Each breath you take, remember Him
No more cares, just peace within.
Think of Him, meditate on Him
Love Him, be with Him.
Each breath you take ….
Listen to the perfect Guru
Behold the Lord, always with you.
Each breath you take ….
Of fleeting desire, still the waves
Let saint’s dust be all you crave.
Each breath you take ….
Renouncing ego, pray with devotion.
With Saadh sangat swim the fiery ocean.
Each breath you take ….
Amass the wealth of Naam evermore
Waheguru love and adore.
Each breath you take ….
This is a beautiful Shabad about devotion & connection to the divine and the Saadh Sangat.
The rhythm and the poetic music is also amazing 😉.
The shabad also recommends renouncing the ego. This seems to be essential foundation for devotion, connection and sanity.
Reducing the ego can be very liberating. It can certainly open a whole new world of intellectual and emotional experience.
Thanks 🙏 Inder Inder Ji.
