Compiled by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, utilizing the writings of Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Ramdas to create this Ballad of Hope [Asa Ki Vaar] which was then became established to be sung daily in the early hours of the day.

This version is sped up & has no shabads in between which makes this version only 70 minutes long - great to listen to in the morning when getting ready.

Asa Ki Vaar Fast - Ragi Balbir Singh

Swami Parmananad ji explains the meaning of “ਘਟ” in the Shabad -“ ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਹਰਿ ਬਸੇ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਘਟ ਹੀ ਖੋਜਹੁ ਭਾਈ ॥੧॥

The Lord dwells deep within; search for Him within your own heart, O Siblings of Destiny. 

Further, he explains How your God is within you, he is not even a companion who is walking beside you always, He himself is within you! 

ਕਾਹੇ ਰੇ ਬਨ ਖੋਜਨ ਜਾਈ ॥ Why do you go looking for Him in the forest?

ਸਰਬ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਸਦਾ ਅਲੇਪਾ ਤੋਹੀ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਮਾਈ ॥੧॥


Although he is unattached, he dwells everywhere. He is always with you as your companion.

How to remember God- Katha by Swami Parmanand Giri Ji Maharaj✨🌷

ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ 
Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੂੰਦ ਭਏ ਹਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਹਮ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਬਿਲਲ ਬਿਲਲਾਤੀ ॥ 
The Lord, Har, Har, is the rain-drop; I am the song-bird, crying, crying out for it.

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅਪਨੀ ਮੁਖਿ ਦੇਵਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਮਖਾਤੀ ॥੧॥ 
O Lord God, please bless me with Your Mercy, and pour Your Name into my mouth, even if for only an instant. ||1||

ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਰਹਿ ਨ ਸਕਉ ਇਕ ਰਾਤੀ ॥ 
Without the Lord, I cannot live for even a second.

ਜਿਉ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਮਲੈ ਅਮਲੀ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਈ ਹੈ ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਮ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਤੀ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ 
Like the addict who dies without his drug, I die without the Lord. ||Pause||

ਤੁਮ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਵਰ ਅਤਿ ਅਗਾਹ ਹਮ ਲਹਿ ਨ ਸਕਹਿ ਅੰਤੁ ਮਾਤੀ ॥ 
You, Lord, are the deepest, most unfathomable ocean; I cannot find even a trace of Your limits.

ਤੂ ਪਰੈ ਪਰੈ ਅਪਰੰਪਰੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਮਿਤਿ ਜਾਨਹੁ ਆਪਨ ਗਾਤੀ ॥੨॥ 
You are the most remote of the remote, limitless and transcendent; O Lord Master, You alone know Your state and extent. ||2||

ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿਓ ਗੁਰ ਰੰਗਿ ਚਲੂਲੈ ਰਾਤੀ ॥
The Lord's humble Saints meditate on the Lord; they are imbued with the deep crimson color of the Guru's Love.

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਬਨੀ ਅਤਿ ਸੋਭਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿਓ ਊਤਮ ਪਾਤੀ ॥੩॥ 
Meditating on the Lord, they attain great glory, and the most sublime honor. ||3||

ਆਪੇ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਆਪੇ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਆਪਿ ਬਨਾਵੈ ਭਾਤੀ ॥
He Himself is the Lord and Master, and He Himself is the servant; He Himself creates His environments.

ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜਨੁ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਹੁ ਲਾਜ ਭਗਾਤੀ ॥੪॥੫॥ 
Servant Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O Lord; protect and preserve the honor of Your devotee. ||4||5||
