Meditate – A Song by Guru Shabad Singh Khalsa
Body of work:
Meditate
(This song was written by Guru Shabad Singh, based on the answer Yogi Bhajan gave when someone asked him to explain meditation).
The body is just the body, the soul is just the soul…
But the mind, isn’t just the mind
For it can take you to, the Infinite Mind
So sit with your mind, be still, turn thoughts away
You will find the mind to be very comfortable
Practice this, in time your mind will merge, with in the Infinite Mind
Meditate on the Nam, recite the words of God
Nectar flows from the Light, to the longing soul….I am I am
You are not the minds slave, it was given to serve you
Rise before the sun’s early morning light
And meditate to master your mind, and master the world
Jap man Sat Nam Sada Sat Nam
Chant The True Name, oh my mind, ever chant the True Name
The Guru guides your mind, from the dark into the light
Bow your head at his feet, follow him back to the One who made you
For one day you’ll leave this world, so prepare your mind each day
Build your self the boat of longing meditation
To carry you across the world’s ocean, and back to God
The troubles in your mind, are like clouds of smoke
That the winds blow away, bringing peacefiul skies, of God’s perfection
From the dungeon of the ribcage, the soul is free at last
Ecstacy fulfills all desires….
Oh my mind ever meditate upon, the Name of God.
Jap man Sat Nam Sada Sat Nam
Chant The True Name, oh my mind, ever chant the True Name
