Surrender Mind and Body, Forsake Societal Norms | Sabad of the Week

In the vibrant rhythm of rag Suhi, Guru Arjan Sahib's Sabad emanates profound love and devotion, evoking a sense of reverential adoration. Suhi, characterized by enthusiasm and deep affection, transcends mere romantic sentiments, delving into a longing for spiritual union and delight in its pursuit. As one of the oldest rags, Suhi taps into the timeless essence of love and devotion, expressed uniquely across cultures but resonating with the same emotional depth.

Bride-lover is praise-worthy, recognizes the Divine,

Follows Hukam, renounces ego,

Dyed in Beloved, delight follows. 1.

Listen girl-friend! The sign to meet the Divine:

Surrender mind and body, forsake societal norms. 1. Reflect.

Girl-friend counsels girl-friend,

Earn what pleases the Divine,

Such bride-lover remains cradled. 2.

Caught in ego, one doesn’t enter the Mansion,

Then regrets, when night passes,

Unfortunate, self-oriented, suffers pain. 3.

I would plea if I thought Divine was far,

Indestructible Divine permeates everywhere,

Servant Nanak sees the Presence and sings. 4.
