Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
He dispels the pains of countless incarnations, and lends support to the dry and shrivelled mind.
Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, one is enraptured, contemplating the Name of the Lord. ||1||
My physician is the Guru, the Lord of the Universe.
He places the medicine of the Naam into my mouth, and cuts away the noose of Death. ||1||Pause||
He is the all-powerful, Perfect Lord, the Architect of Destiny; He Himself is the Doer of deeds.
The Lord Himself saves His slave; Nanak takes the Support of the Naam. ||2||6||34||
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.
