Raag Sorath
Commentary

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

Steady remembrance turns effort into fruit; deep trust turns asking into receiving.

The Arc

Pauri 0: suffering ended, sickness faded under grace; round-the-clock companionship, and effort came to fruit. Rahau (embedded in Pauri 1): You are my peace, wealth, and savings — keep me safe; whatever I ask I receive, for I trust You completely, and meeting the perfect Teacher every fear left.

Key Vocabulary

  • aath pahar aaraadhahu: remembrance round the clock
  • pooran ghaal: the labor fulfilled
  • sukh sampat raas: peace, wealth, and capital in one
  • jo maaga-o so-ee paava-o: whatever I ask, I receive
  • mitio sagal andaysaa: every fear dispelled

Themes and Cross-Connections

Trust (bharosaa) is the hinge of asking-and-receiving — a heart so aligned it asks for what grace already gives. Fear is dispelled, not managed.
