ਵਿਚਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਖਲੋਆ ॥
vich karataa purakh khaloaa |

The Creator Lord Himself stood between us,

ਵਾਲੁ ਨ ਵਿੰਗਾ ਹੋਆ ॥

and not a hair upon my head was touched.

The Guru made my cleansing bath successful;

ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਨਾਸੇ ॥੧॥

O Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime.

ਜੋ ਨਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਕੁਲੁ ਤਰਾਵੈ ਉਧਾਰੁ ਹੋਆ ਹੈ ਜੀ ਕਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo naavai so kul taraavai udhaar hoaa hai jee kaa |1| rahaau |

Whoever bathes in it, his family and ancestry are saved, and his soul is saved as well. ||1||Pause||

jai jai kaar jag gaavai |

The world sings cheers of victory,

ਮਨ ਚਿੰਦਿਅੜੇ ਫਲ ਪਾਵੈ ॥

marai na aavai jaaee |

He does not die, or come and go in reincarnation;

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈ ॥੩॥

Raag Sorath

Sorath conveys the feeling of having such a strong belief in something that you want to keep repeating the experience. In fact this feeling of certainty is so strong that you become the belief and live that belief. The atmosphere of Sorath is so powerful, that eventually even the most unresponsive listener will be attracted.
