Raag Sorath
Commentary

Raag Sorath, Du-Padas, Mehl 5 (Guru Arjan)

A beautiful Word sounds in every heart, and the One is remembered with each breath.

The Arc

Pauri 0: the One is protector here and hereafter, gentle with anyone who feels small; a beautiful Word sounds in every single heart. Rahau (Pauri 1): day and night, with each breath, the One is held close, having become one's help and true support, filling every place.

Key Vocabulary

  • ghat ghat sabad subhaakhe: the Word sounding in every heart
  • deen daiaalaa: tender to the humble
  • saas saas samaalee: remembering with each breath
  • pooran sabhnee thaaee: filling all places

Themes and Cross-Connections

The Word in every heart universalizes the teaching — it is not elsewhere, it hums inside all — and breath-remembrance makes practice as near as breathing.

For Raag Sorath

Sorath's steady intimacy suits a shabad that finds the One in every heart and every breath.
