The Key To Salvation Poem by C. P. Sharma
The Key To Salvation
(Sā dh o man kā mā n t i▫ ā ga▫ o.)
Gentlemen, cast away the ego of mind,
Anger, lust, company of the wicked
Ever flee from the passions of this kind.1 (Refrain)
The pleasure and pain one toner
And so the honor and dishonor,
One detached in joys & sorrows,
He knows the life’s mystical glow.1.
In praise & slander who don’t digress,
The key to salvation they possess;
Nanak, in complex game of passions
Guru’s Grace begets revelation.2.1.
Gaudi Mahalla 9.
Note: The Divine Symphony (Hymns of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadurji in English Verse) translated by me was published in 1977. After more than 30 years since then, with a little better grasp of the philosophy of Gurubani and of the English language, I am trying to revise it a little.

I follow the KING JAMES BIBLE. But, GOD is GOD. Straight is the gate and narrow the way, that leads onto salvation. Broad is the way that leads to destruction. - The lusts of this life and the temporal things that fade with death.
