The world is in the grip of perceptive eddy and everyone is searching for your majesty.” (52) (7) When Waaheguru is Omnipresent to shield us in all predicaments, Why are you then wasting your time in making other (useless) efforts? (53) (1) You should praise the Lord, O my heart and soul! Do not utter any other word, You should become a meditator of His Naam, and should become a true devotee of the Master." (53) (2)
