In the month of Saawan, the soul-bride is happy, if she falls in love with the Lotus Feet of the Lord.Her mind and body are imbued with the Love of the True One; His Name is her only Support.The pleasures of corruption are false. All that is seen shall turn to ashes.The drops of the Lord's Nectar are so beautiful! Meeting the Holy Saint, we drink these in.The forests and the meadows are rejuvenated and refreshed with the Love of God,the All-powerful, Infinite Primal Being. My mind yearns to meet the Lord. If only He would show His Mercy, and unite me with Himself!Those brides who have obtained God-I am forever a sacrifice to them.O Nanak, when the Dear Lord shows kindness, He adorns His bride with the Word of His Shabad. Saawan is delightful for those happy soul-brides whose hearts are adorned with the Necklace of the Lord's Name. ॥6॥
Mantra for the Month
Rakhe Rakhan Haar
Rakhe rakhan haar aap ubaarian Gur kee pairee paa-ei kaaj savaarian Hoaa aap dei-aal manaho na visaarian Saadh janaa kai sang bhavajal taarian Saakat nindak dusht khin maa-eh bidaarian Tis saahib kee tayk naanak manai maa-eh Jis simrat sukh ho-ei sagalay dookh jaa-eh
Translation*:
Thou who savest, save us all and take us across, Uplifting and giving us the excellence. You gave us the touch of the lotus feet of the Guru, And all our jobs are done.
You have become merciful, kind, and compassionate; And so our mind does not forget Thee in the company of the holy ones. You take us from misfortune and calamities, scandals, and disrepute. Godless, slanderous enemies—
You finish them in timelessness.That great lord is my anchor. Nanak, keep firm in your mind. By meditating and repeating His Name, All happiness comes and all sorrows and pain go away.
