Sada Sahai | Aukhi Ghadi Na Dekhan Deyi
Today I am marveling upon the times of Guru Arjan, the guru who sat on a boiling iron plate and sang Tera Kiya Meetha Lagai in raag Asa - whatever you do appears sweet to me he sang. This steadfast optimism in the power of oneness is reflected in another phrase he sings ... this time in raag dhanasri - Sada Sahai. Always helpful. I hear him meditating upon oneness:
Prabhu ...
You are saḏā sahāī ... always helpful
You lend me your own hand,
You nurture every breath of mine
You don't let me see any difficult times;
because that is what you do
that is your inherent
nature.
You are saḏā sahāī ... always helpful
From the very beginning to forever
you sustain me breath by breath
you help me task after task
Through your remembrance
my bliss is unfolded.
My mind is unfurled
in enchanting amazement
as I behold your compassion.
I know that you are saḏā sahāī
that no matter what happens
you will uphold your own honor
you will always protect me
after all that's just how you are
and I ... I am your very own
