Raag Gauree - Part 012

162 : 534
O Nanak, attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they are detached, in the perfect balance of Nirvaanaa. ||4||13||33||

162 : 535
Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

162 : 536
Through great good fortune and high destiny, one meets the True Guru.

162 : 537
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is constantly within the heart, and one enjoys the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||

162 : 538
O mortal, become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Name of the Lord.

162 : 539
Be victorious in the game of life, and earn the profit of the Naam. ||1||Pause||

162 : 540
Spiritual wisdom and meditation come to those unto whom the Word of the Guru's Shabad is sweet.

162 : 541
By Guru's Grace, a few have tasted, and seen it. ||2||

162 : 542
They may perform all sorts of religious rituals and good actions,

162 : 543
but without the Name, the egotistical ones are cursed and doomed. ||3||

162 : 544
They are bound and gagged, and hung by Maya's noose;

162 : 545
O servant Nanak, they shall be released only by Guru's Grace. ||4||14||34||

162 : 546
Third Mehl, Gauree Bairaagan:

162 : 547
The clouds pour their rain down upon the earth, but isn't there water within the earth as well?

162 : 548
Water is contained within the earth; without feet, the clouds run around and let down their rain. ||1||

162 : 549
O Baba, get rid of your doubts like this.

162 : 550
As you act, so shall you become, and so you shall go and mingle. ||1||Pause||

162 : 551
As woman or man, what can anyone do?

162 : 552
The many and various forms are always Yours, O Lord; they shall merge again into You. ||2||

162 : 553
In countless incarnations, I went astray. Now that I have found You, I shall no longer wander.

162 : 554
It is His work; those who are absorbed in the Word of the Guru's Shabad come to know it well. ||3||

Continued...

162 : 555
The Shabad is Yours; You are Yourself. Where is there any doubt?

162 : 556
O Nanak, one whose essence is merged with the Lord's essence does not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation again. ||4||1||15||35||

162 : 557
Gauree Bairaagan, Third Mehl:

162 : 558
The whole world is under the power of Death, bound by the love of duality.

162 : 559
The self-willed manmukhs do their deeds in ego; they receive their just rewards. ||1||

162 : 560
O my mind, focus your consciousness on the Guru's Feet.

162 : 561
As Gurmukh, you shall be awarded the treasure of the Naam. In the Court of the Lord, you shall be saved. ||1||Pause||

162 : 562
Through 8.4 million incarnations, people wander lost; in stubborn-mindedness, they come and go.

162 : 563
They do not realize the Word of the Guru's Shabad; they are reincarnated over and over again. ||2||

162 : 564
The Gurmukh understands his own self. The Lord's Name comes to dwell within the mind.

162 : 565
Imbued with devotion to the Lord's Name, night and day, he merges in peace. ||3||

162 : 566
When one's mind dies in the Shabad, one radiates faith and confidence, shedding egotism and corruption.

162 : 567
O servant Nanak, through the karma of good actions, the treasure of devotional worship and the Name of the Lord are attained. ||4||2||16||36||

162 : 568
Gauree Bairaagan, Third Mehl:

162 : 569
The Lord, Har, Har, has ordained that the soul is to stay in her parents' home for only a few short days.

162 : 570
Glorious is that soul-bride, who as Gurmukh, sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

162 : 571
She who cultivates virtue in her parents' home, shall obtain a home at her in-laws.

162 : 572
The Gurmukhs are intuitively absorbed into the Lord. The Lord is pleasing to their minds. ||1||

162 : 573
Our Husband Lord dwells in this world, and in the world beyond. Tell me, how can He be found?

162 : 574
The Immaculate Lord Himself is unseen. He unites us with Himself. ||1||Pause||
