Shabad: Man tu Chal re Sukh ke Sagar
Bani Garib Das Ji
Author: Saint Garibdas Ji

Man tu chal re sukh ke sagar |jahaan shabd sindh ratnaagar ||tek||

Koti janm jug bharmat ho gaye, kuchh nahin haathi lagya re |
Kookar (dog) shukar (pig) khar (donkey) bhya baure, kauaa hans buga re ||1||
Koti janm jug raja kinha, miti na man ki aasha |
Bhikshuk hokar dar-dar handa, milya na nirgun raasa ||2||

Indra Kuber Iish ki padvi, Brahma Varun Dharmraya |
Vishnu naath ke pur koon pahuncha, bahuri apootha aaya ||3||
Asankh janm jug marte hoy gaye, jeevit kyon na marae re |
Dwadash madhi mahal math baure, bahuri na deh dharae re ||4||

Dojikh bhisti sabae taen dekhen, raaj paat ke rasiya |
Triloki se tripati naahin, yauh man bhogi khasiya ||5||
Satguru milaen to ichchha metaen, pad mili padah samaana |
Chal hansa us desh pathaaun, Aadi amar asthaana ||6||

Chyaari mukti jahaan champi kari hain, Maya hoy rahi daasi |
Das Garib abhae pad parsae, mile Ram avinaashi ||7||

Please think over this shabd (hymn) carefully. In this Respected Garib Das Ji Maharaj is saying that Oh man (mind)! You, come to the ocean of happiness, Satlok. Infinite births have passed taking birth and dying in this Kaal (Brahm) lok. Until now you have not achieved anything. Millions of times you experienced the sufferings of the births of 84 lakh life-forms. You suffered in the distressful lives of dog, pig, donkey etc. It is further said that by doing Brahm (Kaal) sadhna: chanting ‘Om’, austerity, yagya, hawan, charity etc became a king. Became Indra (King of Heaven) and also acquired the superior ranks of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Also became Kuber (god of wealth), Varun (god of water), and by worshipping Vishnu (Krishna, Ram etc) Ji after enjoying the pleasures of the virtuous deeds in the supreme lok of Vishnu Ji,  again fell in the cycle of birth-death and hell.

Garib Das Ji is saying that Oh ignorant (man) mind! Infinite births have passed suffering in this Kaal lok. Now die alive. Dying alive is – neither desire for the kingdom of Earth, nor for the kingdom of Heaven, nor wish to become Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv, nor desire for alcohol-tobacco-wad of tobacco/sulfa, nor opium, nor desire for consuming meat, and abandoning the worship of the three loks and Brahmlok, by worshipping the Supreme God (Purna Brahm, SatPurush) with undivided (unadulterous) devotion, go to Satlok (Sachchkhand). Then your birth and death will end forever.
