ਅਗਨਿ ਸਾਗਰ ਤੇ ਕਾਨਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਨਿ ਜਲਨਿ ਬੁਝਾਈ ॥
God has pulled me out of the ocean of
fire, and quenched my burning thirst. 814
ਮਿ ਨਪ੍ਆਨਰਆ ਜੀਉ ਨਮਤਰਾ ਨਬਖੁ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੇ ॥
O dear beloved mind, my friend, the world is
an ocean of poison. 79
God is Suk Sagar
This path of Liv is the path
of Saints, now is the time
to begin the journey. ਮੋਨਿ ਨਿਰਗੁਣ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰ ਸੰਤਸੰਨਗ ਮਿੁ ਜਾਗਾ॥781
I am worthless, O my
Beloved, ocean of peace. In the Saints' Congregation, my mind is awakened
ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਸਚੀ ਨਲਵ ਲਾਏ ॥
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they enshrine
Love for the True
one.
The Mind
Rago

Tamo
ਿਮ ਡੋਲਤ ਬੇੜੀ ਪ੍ਾਪ੍ ਿਰੀ ਿੈ ਪ੍ਵਣੁ ਲਗੈ ਮਤੁ ਜਾਈ ॥
My boat is wobbly and unsteady; it is
filled with sins. The wind is rising - what
if it tips over? 878
ਨਬਿੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੈ ਮਿੁ ਿਿੀ ਠਉਰਾ ॥
Without the Guru's Shabad,
the mind finds no place of
rest
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਨਦ ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਨਖ ਿਵਜਲੁ ਤਰਣਾ
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the
Gurmukh remains dead while yet alive, and
swims across the Bhavsagar. ||2||
ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਿਨਰ ਪ੍ਾਈਐ ਨਬਿੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਿਰਨਮ ਿੁਲਾਇ
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the
Lord is found; without the Shabad, people
wander, deceived by doubt. ||1|
ਰਮਈਆ ਜਪ੍ਿੁ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਅਿਤ ਜੀਵਣ ਬਾਣੀ ਇਿ ਨਬਨਿ ਿਵ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਤਰਣਾ ॥੨॥
By Japing on the Lord, O mortal
being, through the Word of His Bani; you
shall be blessed with eternal life. In this way,
shall you cross over the
Bhavsagar. ||2|| 92
ਿਾਨਿ ਪ੍ਵਿੁ ਘਨਰ ਆਸਨਣ ਬੈਸੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਨਖ ਖੋਜਤ ਤਤ ੁਲਿੈ ॥
The breath is seated in the home of the
navel; the Gurmukh searches, and finds the essence of reality. 945
ਿਾਨਿ ਕਮਲ ਅਸਥੰਿੁ ਿ ਿੋਤੋ ਤਾ ਪ੍ਵਿੁ ਕਵਿ ਘਨਰ ਸਿਤਾ ॥
When there was no support of the navel lotus, then in which home did the breath reside? 945
ਿਾਨਿ ਕਮਲੁ ਅਸਥੰਿੁ ਿ ਿੋਤੋ ਤਾ ਨਿਜ ਘਨਰ ਬਸਤਉ ਪ੍ਵਿੁ ਅਿਰਾਗੀ ॥
When there was no support of the lotus of the navel, the breath remained in its own home, attuned to the Lord's Love. 945
ਰਨਵ ਸਨਸ ਲਉਕੇ ਇਿੁ ਤਿੁ ਨਕੰਗੁਰੀ ਵਾਜੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਨਿਰਾਰੀ ॥੭॥
The right and left nostrils, the sun and the
moon channels, are the strings of the body-
harp; they vibrate the wondrous melody of
the Shabad. ||7|| 907
Rago

Tamo Huns
Hath
Lob
Kop
Rivers of Fire
These 4 rivers make up the Bik Sagar
(Ocean of Posion).
– Huns- Cruelty
– Hath- Material Attachment (in love w/
something)
– Lob- Greed
– Kop- Anger
ਿੰਸੁ ਿੇਤੁ ਲੋਿੁ ਕੋਪ੍ੁ ਚਾਰੇ ਿਦੀਆ ਅਨਗ ॥ ਪ੍ਵਨਿ ਦਝਨਿ ਿਾਿਕਾ ਤਰੀਐ ਕਰਮੀ ਲਨਗ ॥੨॥ Cruelty, material
attachment, greed and anger are the
four rivers of fire. Falling into them,
one is burned, O Nanak! One is
saved only by holding tight to good deeds.
||2|| 147
ਮਿ ਕਮੀਿ ਕਮਤਰੀਿ ਤੂ ਦਰੀਆਉ ਖੁਦਾਇਆ ॥ I am meek and lowly; You are
the great river.
ਏਕੁ ਚੀਜੁ ਮੁਝੈ ਦੇਨਿ ਅਵਰ ਜਿਰ ਚੀਜ ਿ ਿਾਇਆ ॥ Please, bless me with the
one thing; everything else is
poison, and does not tempt me.1291
ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਿਨਰ ਿਾਮੁ ਿੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਨਖ ਪ੍ਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥
The Name of the Lord is the Ocean of
Peace; the Gurmukhs obtain it. 29
