VAISAKH

(14 April - 14 May)

In the joyous month of Vaisakh, how can the inner self find consolation and contentment

If, like a wife separated from her husband, we discard and reject the love of our Beloved Lord?

Forgetting our True Companion, we allow the termites of mammon to engulf and consume us

Yet, in this life, all our relationships and possessions are transitory; only He is Everlasting

In our abject suffering, we are dying a spiritual death, caught in the entanglements of falsehood Without His Name in our heart, we lose out in this life and the life hereafter

Forgetting God, we remain restless and dissatisfied; without Him there is no source of fulfilment

Only those who take the shelter of His feet are able to find inner purity and peace

Says Nanak, ‘Oh Lord, this is my humble prayer: please unite me to Yourself

Vaisakh becomes truly beautiful and joyful, when we find You through the company of kindled souls.’
