मोको कहाँ ढूँढ़े रे बंदे (Where are you searching for me?) Moko kahan dhoondhay?

मोको कहाँ ढूँढ़े रे बंदे, मैं तो तेरे पास में। 

ना मैं देवल ना मैं मसजिद, ना काबे कैलास में।

ना मैं जप में, ना  मैं तप में, ना मैं व्रत उपवास में ।

न मैं कर्म-क्रिया में रहता, ना ही योग संन्यास में । 

खोजी होय तो तुरतै मिलिहौं, पल भर की तलास में।

कहत कबीर सुनो भई साधो मैं तो हूं विश्वास में  

           " सत्गुरु कबीर जी महाराज "

=============================

Moko kahan dhoondhay ray Banday 

Main to teray paas mein

Na main Deval na main Masjid, Na Kaabaa Kailas mein 

Na main jap mein, na main tap mein, na main vrat upvaas mein 

Na main Karm-Kriya mein rehta, na hi yog sanyaas mein 

khoji hoy to turatai milihaun, pal bhar ki talaas men

Kehat 'Kabeer' suno bhai Sadho Main to hoon Vishwas mein

                          "Satguru Kabeer ji Maharaj"

              =============================

                 English translation:

Where do you search for Me, O seeker? I am right here beside you.

I am neither in the temple nor in the mosque; neither in the Kaaba nor in Kailash.

I am not found in chanting or penance, nor in vows or fasting.

I dwell neither in rituals and ceremonies, nor in the paths of Yoga and renunciation.

I am right here beside you.

If you are a true seeker, you shall find Me instantly—in the span of a single moment.

Says Kabir, "Listen, O seekers: I reside in faith." 

Jo Bhajay Hari ko Sada जो भजे हरि को सदा सोई परम पद पाएगा

जो भजे हरि को सदा सोई परम पद पाएगा 

Jo Bhajay Hari ko Sada Soyi Param Pad Payega

तूने जो कमाया है

तूने जो कमाया है  - कोई दूसरा ही खाएगा 
ख़ाली हाथ आया है और ख़ाली हाथ जाएगा 

जब तलक ये सांसे हैं - तब तलक ही रिश्ता है
साँस जिस घड़ी टूटी - रिश्ता टूट जाएगा 

तूने सबके जख्मों पर, रखा हर घड़ी मरहम
बाद मरने के पर तुझको कोई रख ना पाएगा 

तूने जो कमाया है  - कोई दूसरा ही खाएगा
ख़ाली हाथ आया है और ख़ाली हाथ जाएगा 

A Divine Departure

                             "Aqsar Banday di Maut tay paindaa ae Syaapaa

                             Paandaa ae Maran velay Mubarak koyi koyi"

(Often, there is a commotion - crying, howling, and wailing at someone's death.

Blessed (few) are those - who - at their departure - receive blessings and are celebrated for a life well-lived.)

This above couplet/song was written by a renowned Bhajan writer, singer, and Pracharak of the Sant Nirankari Mission - Sushil Kumar 'Sewak' ji of Patiala. 

He left this mortal world - during the morning Satsang on Friday, February 16, 2024.

On Friday morning Satsang, he delivered the Vichar - the final discourse from the stage, and after finishing the Vichar, he calmly left his mortal body - right there - on the stage - peacefully.

What a divine departure. 

Visakhi Ram ji and Sushil Kumar ji - known as Pagal ji & Sewak ji - used to write and sing Bhajans together under the pen name of Pagal-Sewak. 

Later, their joint pen name was changed to Amar-Sewak.  

I have many fond memories of both of them.  

Pagal ji, Sewak ji, Asha ji, and I used to accompany Pita ji - Sant Amar Singh ji of Patiala - on his Prachar tours quite often - sometimes for a day or two - and sometimes for a few weeks or a month or two.

Occasionally - Res. V. D. Nagpal ji also used to join these Prachar tours. 

I often cherish the sweet and blessed memories of those good old days. 

Pagal ji & Sewak ji wrote many meaningful and everlasting songs together that are still quite popular in the Mission. 

Such as:

     Duniya ch' hunda ae Rabb da Ashiq koi koyi 

     Kach dee mandi ch' Sach da Gaahak koi koyi 

     Aqsar banday dee maut tay paindaa ae syaapaa

     Paandaa ae Maran velay Mubarak koyi koyi 

Meaning:

Very few in the world have the real love for Almighty God in their hearts. 

Very few are the seekers of Truth in this market of fake merchandise.

Often, there is a commotion - crying, howling, and wailing at someone's death.

Blessed (few) are those - who - at their departure - receive blessings and are celebrated for a life well-lived.  

                                      ~~~~~~~~~~

             Though we all will miss his physical presence, Sewak ji will always live on through the immortal bhajans he and Amar ji gave us. 

                                                       " Rajan Sachdeva "

Hay Samarath Parmatma - A beautiful Prayer

Parampita Paramaatma kan kan Tera vaas 

Karan kraavan haar Tu sab kuchhh Teray paas 

Ang sang Tainu vekh kay Avtar karay ardaas 

Tu shahaan da Shehanshah main daasaan da daas

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Hay Samrath Paramaatma - Hay Nirgun Nirankar 

Tu kartaa hain jagat ka - Tu sab ka aadhaar 

Kan kan mein hai bas rahaa Teraa roop apaar 

Teen kaal hai Satya Tu Mithyaa hai sansaar 

Ghat ghat vaasi hay Prabhu Avinaashi Kartaar 

Dayaa say Teri hon sabhi Bhav Saagar say paar 

Niraakaar Sakaar Tu - Jag ka Paalanhaar 

Hai be-ant mahimaa  Teri Daata aparampaar 

Param Pita Parmaatma sab Teri Santaan 

Bhalaa karo sab ka Prabhu Sab ka ho kalyaan 

             (Baba Avtar Singh Nirankari)
