Bhagat Surdas

Bhagat Surdas

Bhagat Surdas was another influential Bhagat in the Bhagti Movement of India. Bhagat Surdas has also been incorporated in Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Many argue that some shabads in Guru Granth Sahib are of more importance then others. However, an important understanding one must have is that no shabad is greater than the other. Everything in Guru Granth Sahib has been compiled together to bring an understanding and a dialogue with the Eternal so that we may understand the 'True' essence of Ek Onkar (The One all existing forever continually creating Lord.)

Bhagat Surdas Ji is an example of this very principle. Bhagat Surdas only has one line in Guru Granth Sahib. He provides the following revelation.

shhaadd man har bimukhan ko sa(n)g |
O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Almighty.

To this Guru Arjan Dev Ji composed a Shabad in Bhagat Surdas Jis name on page 1253 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Guru Ji writes.

*The people of the Almighty dwell with Him.
*They dedicate their minds and bodies to Him; they dedicate everything to Him. *They are intoxicated with the celestial melody of intuitive ecstasy. ||1||Pause|

*Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Almighty's Darshan, they are cleansed of corruption. They obtain absolutely everything.

*They have nothing to do with anything else; they gaze on the beauteous Face of God. ||1|

*But one who forsakes the elegantly beautiful Lord, and harbors desire for anything else, is like a leech on the body of a leper.

*Says Sur Daas, God has taken my mind in His Hands. He has blessed me with the world beyond. ||2||1||8|
