Raag Goojaree - Part 009

497 : 253
His troubles and worries are ended in an instant; O Nanak, he merges in celestial peace. ||4||5||6||

497 : 254
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

497 : 255
Whoever I approach to ask for help, I find him full of his own troubles.

497 : 256
One who worships in his heart the Supreme Lord God, crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

497 : 257
No one, except the Guru-Lord, can dispel our pain and sorrow.

497 : 258
Forsaking God, and serving another, one's honor, dignity and reputation are decreased. ||1||Pause||

497 : 259
Relatives, relations and family bound through Maya are of no avail.

497 : 260
The Lord's servant, although of lowly birth, is exalted. Associating with him, one obtains the fruits of his mind's desires. ||2||

497 : 261
Through corruption, one may obtain thousands and millions of enjoyments, but even so, his desires are not satisfied through them.

497 : 262
Remembering the Naam, the Name of the Lord, millions of lights appear, and the incomprehensible is understood. ||3||

497 : 263
Wandering and roaming around, I have come to Your Door, Destroyer of fear, O Lord King.

497 : 264
Servant Nanak yearns for the dust of the feet of the Holy; in it, he finds peace. ||4||6||7||

497 : 265
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Panch-Pada, Second House:

497 : 266
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

497 : 267
First, he came to dwell in his mother's womb; leaving it, he came into the world.

497 : 268
Splendid mansions, beautiful gardens and palaces - none of these shall go with him. ||1||

Continued...

497 : 269
All other greeds of the greedy are false.

497 : 270
The Perfect Guru has given me the Name of the Lord, which my soul has come to treasure. ||1||Pause||

497 : 271
Surrounded by dear friends, relatives, children, siblings and spouse, he laughs playfully.

497 : 272
But when the very last moment arrives, Death seizes him, while they merely look on. ||2||

497 : 273
By continual oppression and exploitation, he accumulates wealth, gold, silver and money,

497 : 274
but the load-bearer gets only paltry wages, while the rest of the money passes on to others. ||3||

497 : 275
He grabs and collects horses, elephants and chariots, and claims them as his own.

497 : 276
But when he sets out on the long journey, they will not go even one step with him. ||4||

497 : 277
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my wealth; the Naam is my princely pleasure; the Naam is my family and helper.

497 : 278
The Guru has given Nanak the wealth of the Naam; it neither perishes, nor comes or goes. ||5||1||8||

497 : 279
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Ti-Padas, Second House:

497 : 280
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

497 : 281
My sorrows are ended, and I am filled with peace. The fire of desire within me has been quenched.

497 : 282
The True Guru has implanted the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me; it neither dies, nor goes anywhere. ||1||

497 : 283
Meditating on the Lord, the bonds of Maya are cut away.

497 : 284
When my God becomes kind and compassionate, one joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and is emancipated. ||1||Pause||
