Raag Sorat'h - Part 008

602 : 245
The sins and sorrows of countless lifetimes are eradicated; the Lord Himself unites them in His Union. ||Pause||

602 : 246
All of these relatives are like chains upon the soul, O Siblings of Destiny; the world is deluded by doubt.

602 : 247
Without the Guru, the chains cannot be broken; the Gurmukhs find the door of salvation.

602 : 248
One who performs rituals without realizing the Word of the Guru's Shabad, shall die and be reborn, again and again. ||2||

602 : 249
The world is entangled in egotism and possessiveness, O Siblings of Destiny, but no one belongs to anyone else.

602 : 250
The Gurmukhs attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, singing the Glories of the Lord; they dwell in the home of their own inner being.

602 : 251
One who understands here, realizes himself; the Lord God belongs to him. ||3||

602 : 252
The True Guru is forever merciful, O Siblings of Destiny; without good destiny, what can anyone obtain?

602 : 253
He looks alike upon all with His Glance of Grace, but people receive the fruits of their rewards according to their love for the Lord.

602 : 254
O Nanak, when the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell within the mind, then self-conceit is eradicated from within. ||4||6||

602 : 255
Sorat'h, Third Mehl, Chau-Tukas:

602 : 256
True devotional worship is obtained only through the True Guru, when the True Word of His Bani is in the heart.

602 : 257
Serving the True Guru, eternal peace is obtained; egotism is obliterated through the Word of the Shabad.

602 : 258
Without the Guru, there is no true devotion; otherwise, people wander around, deluded by ignorance.

602 : 259
The self-willed manmukhs wander around, suffering in constant pain; they drown and die, even without water. ||1||

602 : 260
O Siblings of Destiny, remain forever in the Lord's Sanctuary, under His Protection.

602 : 261
Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He preserves our honor, and blesses us with the glory of the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

Continued...

602 : 262
Through the Perfect Guru, one comes to understand himself, contemplating the True Word of the Shabad.

602 : 263
The Lord, the Life of the world, ever abides in his heart, and he renounces sexual desire, anger and egotism.

602 : 264
The Lord is ever-present, permeating and pervading all places; the Name of the Infinite Lord is enshrined within the heart.

602 : 265
Throughout the ages, through the Word of His Bani, His Shabad is realized, and the Name becomes so sweet and beloved to the mind. ||2||

602 : 266
Serving the Guru, one realizes the Naam, the Name of the Lord; fruitful is his life, and his coming into the world.

602 : 267
Tasting the sublime elixir of the Lord, his mind is satisfied and satiated forever; singing the Glories of the Glorious Lord, he is fulfilled and satisfied.

602 : 268
The lotus of his heart blossoms forth, he is ever imbued with the Lord's Love, and the unstruck melody of the Shabad resounds within him.

602 : 269
His body and mind become immaculately pure; his speech becomes immaculate as well, and he merges in the Truest of the True. ||3||

602 : 270
No one knows the state of the Lord's Name; through the Guru's Teachings, it comes to abide in the heart.

602 : 271
One who becomes Gurmukh, understands the Path; his tongue savors the sublime essence of the Lord's Nectar.

602 : 272
Meditation, austere self-discipline and self-restraint are all obtained from the Guru; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to abide within the heart.

602 : 273
O Nanak, those humble beings who praise the Naam are beautiful; they are honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||4||7||

602 : 274
Sorat'h, Third Mehl, Du-Tukas:

602 : 275
Meeting the True Guru, one turns away from the world, O Siblings of Destiny; when he remains dead while yet alive, he obtains true understanding.

602 : 276
He alone is the Guru, and he alone is a Sikh, O Siblings of Destiny, whose light merges in the Light. ||1||

602 : 277
O my mind, be lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

602 : 278
Chanting the Name of the Lord, it seems so sweet to the mind, O Siblings of Destiny; the Gurmukhs obtain a place in the Court of the Lord. ||Pause||
