Respected Sadh Sangat Ji, In today’s time, we are living in an era where various kinds of illnesses and diseases have surrounded human life. Everyone prays for good health for their home, their family, their body, and their mind. Because, Sadh Sangat Ji, only when the body is healthy does the mind find peace, life feels joyful, and everyday living becomes meaningful.
A person may possess crores of rupees, luxury, status, and grand houses—but if the body is diseased and the mind is restless, then all that wealth is of no true value. A sick person often blames their destiny, their circumstances, and sometimes even their own fate. But Sadh Sangat Ji, illness does not come without a reason. It is also the fruit of our own actions. No suffering enters our life without cause, because the Almighty is Nirvair (without enmity), compassionate, and all-knowing. He is infinitely kind—He forgives mistakes done unknowingly, but when a human knowingly walks on the path of wrongdoing, the burden of those actions manifests on the body in the form of disease.
But Sadh Sangat Ji, there is no need to lose hope—because where there is suffering, there is also relief. Where there is disease, there is also medicine. And that medicine, that eternal remedy, is the Bani of the Guru. Gurbani is the nectar that erases the diseases of countless lifetimes. Gurbani is the divine light that removes the darkness of the mind.
So today, we are going to share with you a very powerful Shabad, by whose recitation many have attained spiritual, mental, and physical relief.
This Shabad is recorded on Ang 107 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and the Fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, proclaims:
Sadh Sangat Ji, you are to recite this Gurbani Shabad continuously for 13 days, and recite it 31 times each day. The method is as follows: wake up early in the morning, take a bath, sit at a clean and peaceful place, and keep a vessel of water beside you. After completing 31 recitations of this Shabad, drink that water yourself; you may also give it to your family members and sprinkle it in the home as well.
If the sick person can do this recitation themselves, it is very good. But if their health does not permit, then another family member may do the recitation and give the water to the patient.
This “13-day Shabad” given by Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj must be recited for all 13 days without break. Within these 13 days, you will begin to feel your mind and body becoming lighter, calmer, and healthier. Along with this, you must also begin another routine—one that will benefit you for your entire lifetime.
You must have often seen elders following this practice. What did the elders do? While bathing, they would begin the recitation of Japji Sahib, and by the time they finished bathing, they would have completed the entire Japji Sahib. You should also do the same. But if you are just beginning, then while bathing you may recite these two lines:
“Kar Isnaan Simar Prabh Apna, Man Tan Bhaye Aroga.”
Recite these lines daily—this daily discipline calms the mind, keeps the body healthy, and fills the home with peace.
Once this routine is established, then memorize Japji Sahib. When it is memorized, recite the entire Japji Sahib while bathing. This method has uplifted even the greatest family lineages.
The elders who practiced this method remained healthy and disease-free throughout their lives. Their children were also influenced by a Gursikh way of life and became devoted Sikhs themselves. Gurbani uplifted them as well. If you too desire peace, prosperity, happiness, progress, and good health in your home, then build a heartfelt relationship with Gurbani and recite it daily with complete devotion.
Gurbani is not just letters—it is the living form of the Guru. When remembrance is done with a pure heart, boundless grace flows. In a person’s life, there are moments when the mind gives up, courage weakens, and it feels as if no path remains. But it is at that very time that the Guru’s Bani lifts a person up again. Bani is that power which can fill even dry support with life. When a person truly makes the Guru’s Shabad the foundation of their life, divine light reflects in every daily action, the home becomes filled with grace, diseases give way to health, worries turn into peace, and fear transforms into courage. The remembrance of Gurbani changes a person from within—and when the inner self changes, the outer world also begins to appear beautiful.
Sadh Sangat Ji, you too should adopt this path in your life. By the grace of Guru Maharaj, everything is possible.
