Raag Raamkalee - Part 005

880 : 166
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

880 : 167
Raamkalee, Third Mehl, First House:

880 : 168
In the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, everyone spoke the Truth.

880 : 169
In each and every home, devotional worship was performed by the people, according to the Guru's Teachings.

880 : 170
In that Golden Age, Dharma had four feet.

880 : 171
How rare are those people who, as Gurmukh, contemplate this and understand. ||1||

880 : 172
In all four ages, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is glory and greatness.

880 : 173
One who holds tight to the Naam is liberated; without the Guru, no one obtains the Naam. ||1||Pause||

880 : 174
In the Silver Age of Traytaa Yuga, one leg was removed.

880 : 175
Hypocrisy became prevalent, and people thought that the Lord was far away.

880 : 176
The Gurmukhs still understood and realized;

880 : 177
the Naam abided deep within them, and they were at peace. ||2||

880 : 178
In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, duality and double-mindedness arose.

880 : 179
Deluded by doubt, they knew duality.

880 : 180
In this Brass Age, Dharma was left with only two feet.

880 : 181
Those who became Gurmukh implanted the Naam deep within. ||3||

880 : 182
In the Iron Age of Kali Yuga, Dharma was left with only one power.

880 : 183
It walks on just one foot; love and emotional attachment to Maya have increased.

880 : 184
Love and emotional attachment to Maya bring total darkness.

880 : 185
If someone meets the True Guru, he is saved, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||

880 : 186
Throughout the ages, there is only the One True Lord.

880 : 187
Among all, is the True Lord; there is no other at all.

Continued...

880 : 188
Praising the True Lord, true peace is attained.

880 : 189
How rare are those, who as Gurmukh, chant the Naam. ||5||

880 : 190
Throughout all the ages, the Naam is the ultimate, the most sublime.

880 : 191
How rare are those, who as Gurmukh, understand this.

880 : 192
One who meditates on the Lord's Name is a humble devotee.

880 : 193
O Nanak, in each and every age, the Naam is glory and greatness. ||6||1||

880 : 194
Raamkalee, Fourth Mehl, First House:

880 : 195
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

880 : 196
If someone is very fortunate, and is blessed with great high destiny, then he meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

880 : 197
Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he finds peace, and merges in the Naam. ||1||

880 : 198
O mortal, as Gurmukh, worship the Lord in devotion forever.

880 : 199
Your heart shall be illumined; through the Guru's Teachings, lovingly attune yourself to the Lord. You shall merge in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

880 : 200
The Great Giver is filled with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls;

880 : 201
one who has good fortune and great destiny inscribed upon his forehead, digs them out, by following the Guru's Teachings. ||2||

880 : 202
The Lord's Name is the jewel, the emerald, the ruby; digging it out, the Guru has placed it in your palm.

880 : 203
The unfortunate, self-willed manmukh does not obtain it; this priceless jewel remains hidden behind a curtain of straw. ||3||

880 : 204
If such pre-ordained destiny is written upon one's forehead, then the True Guru enjoins him to serve Him.

880 : 205
O Nanak, then he obtains the jewel, the gem; blessed, blessed is that one who follows the Guru's Teachings, and finds the Lord. ||4||1||

880 : 206
Raamkalee, Fourth Mehl:

880 : 207
Meeting with the humble servants of the Lord, I am in ecstasy; they preach the sublime sermon of the Lord.

880 : 208
The filth of evil-mindedness is totally washed away; joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, one is blessed with understanding. ||1||
