The Link
Hitesh
frequents our temple ashram and this evening just before a small group of us
headed for Bloor West for a chanting party, he handed me a piece of the Guru
Granth Sahib. He had visited a Gurudwar over the weekend, was happy to
note a translation on the wall and wanted to share it with me.
From
Ang: 693 - 694
First
of all, the lotuses bloomed in the woods; from them, all the swan-souls came
into being. Know that, through Krishna, the Lord, Har, Har, the dance of
creation dances.
1)
First of all, there was only the Primal
Being. From that Primal Being, Maya was produced. All that is, is
His. In this Garden of the Lord, we all dance, like water in the pots of
the Persian wheel.
2)
Pause/Women and men both dance.
There is no other then the Lord. Don't dispute this, and don't doubt
this. The Lord says, "This creation and I are one and the
same."
3)
Like the pots on the Persian wheel,
sometimes the world is high, and sometimes it is low. Wandering and
roaming around I have come at last to Your Door. "Who are
you?" "I am Naam Daya, Sir." Oh Lord, please save me
from Maya, the cause of death.
The
words above are inspiring and like others found in the Sikh traditional text,
it confirms the link between the Vedas of India and the teachings of the Sikh's
founder, Guru Nanak.
May the Source be with you!
