Why should we feel sad?

The Guru instructs us on Page 1140:

We should feel sad if God were beyond us.

We should feel sad if we forget the Lord.

We should feel sad if we are in love with duality.

Why should we feel sad? The Lord is pervading everywhere.

In love and attachment to maya, the mortal

is sad and is consumed by sadness.

Without the Name he wanders in doubt and wastes away.

We should feel sad if there were another Creator Lord.

We should feel sad if someone dies by injustice.

We should feel sad if something were not known to the Lord.

But why should we feel sad? The Lord is fully pervading everywhere.

We should feel sad if God were a tyrant.

We should feel sad if He made us suffer by mistake.

The Guru says that whatever happens is all by God's Will.

So I have abandoned sadness and now I sleep free of anxiety.

0 God, You alone are my Lord and Master; all belong to You.

According to Your Will You pass judgment.

There is none other - The One pervades all places.

Please save Nanak's honor; he has come to Your sanctuary.
