Thought For The Day (4/12/2006) ..achal chalai naa chalai
achal chalai naa chalai
He deprives of delusion
The things that delude;
He blunts the edge of the dagger
And it does not wound.
Man's mind wavers for it is full of craving;
He is safe only in the Lord's keeping.
How then light the lamp when there is no oil?
Let your body be the lamp,
From the holy books take wisdom
And ue it as oil.
Let knowledge of His presence be the wick
And with the tinder of truth
Light the spark.
Thus light you the oil-lamp
And in its light meet your Lord.
When the recording Angel claims your body
And catalogues your deeds,
Your good acts will save you from the cycle of birth and death.
If in life you have served others
Your reward shall be a place in His Court.
Says Nanak: You will raise your arms in joy.
