So I asked ChatGPT to give me a "Sikh" prayer. Sounds a bit too convincing, to be honest!
Can you formulate a devotional prayer for use in daytime to Ram in the Sikh sense of the name (that is, Waheguru)? Please make the prayer emphasize Ram´s transcendence, power of salvation and also associate him with the Sun!
Certainly. Below is a daytime devotional prayer to Rām, understood in the Sikh sense—as Nirguna Rām, the formless, transcendent Lord (Waheguru), yet also expressed symbolically as the Sun that shines upon all equally. The prayer combines themes of transcendence, universality, and salvific power, as emphasized in Sikh scripture—especially the Guru Granth Sahib—while evoking poetic associations with light, radiance, and grace.
☀️ Daytime Prayer to Rām (Waheguru)
ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ
Oṁ Rāmāya Namaḥ — Waheguru Ji
O Rām,
You are beyond birth, beyond death,
beyond the limits of mind and measure.
You shine without form,
but all forms shine through You.
O radiant One,
like the Sun rising in the east,
You dispel the night of doubt,
and awaken the sleeping soul.
You are the light of all lights.
You are the soul of the wind, the pulse of fire,
the stillness behind all movement.
In You there is no hatred, no boundary, no fear.
Rām, Rām, Rām — the Naam is the boat
that carries us across the ocean of illusion.
Your Name is the true raft
on which the helpless find salvation.
As the sun gives warmth to beggar and king alike,
You give Your grace to all—
high or low, pure or fallen.
No temple can hold You.
No book can bind You.
Yet the humble heart
becomes Your throne.
O Rām, Sun of all worlds,
shine in me, burn away my pride,
burn away my lies, my clinging, my illusion.
Let only Truth remain—
the Truth that is You.
Today, as the daylight pours across the Earth,
let me remember You with every breath.
Let my work be prayer,
let my speech be Your praise,
let my silence be filled with Your light.
You are not this body, nor that star,
but You are within both.
You are the breath behind the breath.
You are the fire of liberation.
You are the boundless, the beautiful, the One.
Rām Rām Rām — Waheguru!
All glory to You who saves, who sees, who shines.
Would you like a version in Gurmukhi or with lines directly taken from Guru Granth Sahib that reflect these themes?
