Thank you for posting this beautiful shabad singh sahib! It is a beautiful shabad and I needed it really bad to focus back on things. I don't know why but I start wandering at times. Somehow, you Gurmukhi fonts are not showing up. They show up as english character equivalents from the keyboard.
they seem to be working i think they're unicode so if they don't show up try clearing out your temperory internet files and refreshing the page?
Satguru ji is the only person we'll ever need to get us back on track. His Shabads are more potent than a weapon and pierce your very soul.
We all wander, but sooner or later He will always find us again.
