Ans. It is our good fortune that the last words of Guru Amar Das were inscribed by his own grandson, Baba Sunder (son of Baba Mohri).
Later on Guru Arjan Dev included these words in the Adi Granth in Raag (the musical measure) Raamkali under the heading of “Sadd” means ‘Call’ SGGS, p. 923.Guru Amar Das said, “All that is happening is a play according to God’s will. When He beckons, no one can decline the call. In fact, anyone who accepts Lord’s Will as sweet, has the right to be called a complete person, a true devotee and a preceptor. Within him strikes the Divine melody and he is in the state of equipoise. Lord Himself takes him into His embrace”.ਭਗਤੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸੋਈ ਜਿਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਣਾ ਭਾਵਏ॥ ਆਨੰਦ ਅਨਹਦ ਵਜਹਿ ਵਾਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਗਲਿ ਮੇਲਾਵਏ॥The Guru further said, “the one thing I do not like is the crying of anyone after I am gone because I am actually being given the robe of honour by the Lord. For this you should all be overjoyed rather than sad”.ਮਤ ਮੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਕੋਈ ਰੋਵਸੀ ਸੋ ਮੈ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਭਾਇਆ॥ ਮਿਤੁ ਪੈਝੈ ਮਿਤੁ ਬਿਗਸੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਿਤ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਭਾਵਏ॥ ਤੁਸੀ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ਦੇਖਹੁ ਪੁਤ ਭਾਈ ਹਰਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਪੈਨਾਵਏ॥”My second desire is that only Divine laudations of God be sung (after I have departed). No meaning-less rituals like embalming of body, floating of leaves and lighting of lamps etc. be performed”.The Sikhs accepted these instructions with pleasure and bowed their heads.ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਜਿ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਲਈ ਰਜਾਇ ਜੀਉ॥When the Guru left for Sach Khand (the realm of Truth), people were amazed to see that the brightness of the sun had decreased and a different kind of brightness had covered Goindwal. There was fragrance in the whole environment and a sweet melody seemed to be striking.
