Guru Ram Das Ji

Contemplate you ever the Lord’s Name, O my mind,

and you will be rid of myriads of sins committed by you in the past.

So love your Lord like a true Serf, and Dwell ever on Him,

and all your Sins and Ailments are dispelled s water cleans the soil.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji

O my mind, Contemplate you your God,

and forsake Him not ever and ever Sing His Praises.

Yea, Bathe yourself in the Dust of Saint’s Feet that you will get rid of all your sins.

And the Lord of Mercy you’ll see- Filing and Fulfilling all hearts.
