Raag Goojaree, First Mehl, Chau-Padas, First House:

489 : 3
I would make Your Name the sandalwood, and my mind the stone to rub it on;

489 : 4
for saffron, I would offer good deeds; thus, I perform worship and adoration within my heart. ||1||

489 : 5
Perform worship and adoration by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; without the Name, there is no worship and adoration. ||1||Pause||

489 : 6
If one were to wash his heart inwardly, like the stone idol which is washed on the outside,

489 : 7
his filth would be removed, his soul would be cleansed, and he would be liberated when he departs. ||2||

489 : 8
Even beasts have value, as they eat grass and give milk.

489 : 9
Without the Naam, the mortal's life is cursed, as are the actions he performs. ||3||

489 : 10
The Lord is hear at hand - do not think that He is far away. He always cherishes us, and remembers us.

489 : 11
Whatever He gives us, we eat; says Nanak, He is the True Lord. ||4||1||

Goojaree, First Mehl:

489 : 13
From the lotus of Vishnu's navel, Brahma was born; He chanted the Vedas with a melodious voice.

489 : 14
He could not find the Lord's limits, and he remained in the darkness of coming and going. ||1||

489 : 15
Why should I forget my Beloved? He is the support of my very breath of life.

489 : 16
The perfect beings perform devotional worship to Him. The silent sages serve Him through the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

489 : 17
His lamps are the sun and the moon; the One Light of the Destroyer of ego fills the three worlds.

489 : 18
One who becomes Gurmukh remains immaculately pure, day and night, while the self-willed manmukh is enveloped by the darkness of night. ||2||

489 : 19
The Siddhas in Samaadhi are continually in conflict; what can they see with their two eyes?

489 : 20
One who has the Divine Light within his heart, and is awakened to the melody of the Word of the Shabad - the True Guru settles his conflicts. ||3||

489 : 21
O Lord of angels and men, infinite and unborn, Your True Mansion is incomparable.

489 : 22
Nanak merges imperceptibly into the Life of the world; shower Your mercy upon him, and save him. ||4||2||
