Thought For The Day (3/29/2006) ..The Sovereign Creed

sarab Dharam meh saraysat Dharam.

har ko naam jap nirmal karam.

sagal kir-aa meh ootam kiri-aa.

saaDhsang durmat mal hiri-aa.

sagal udam meh udam bhalaa.

har kaa naam japahu jee-a sadaa.

sagal baanee meh amrit baanee.

har ko jas sun rasan bakhaanee.

sagal thaan tay oh ootam thaan.

naanak jih ghat vasai har naam

Sukhmani Sahib Asthapadee 03 Pauree 7-8

Translation:

Of all religions, the best religion

is to chant the Name of the Lord and maintain pure conduct.

Of all religious rituals, the most sublime ritual

is to erase the filth of the dirty mind in the Company of the Holy.

Of all efforts, the best effort

is to chant the Name of the Lord in the heart, forever.

Of all speech, the most ambrosial speech

is to hear the Lord's Praise and chant it with the tongue.

Of all places, the most sublime place,

O Nanak, is that heart in which the Name of the Lord abides.

-The Psalm Of Peace (SGGS)
