Raag Goojaree - Part 007

495 : 186
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padas, First House:

495 : 187
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

495 : 188
Why, O mind, do you contrive your schemes, when the Dear Lord Himself provides for your care?

495 : 189
From rocks and stones, He created the living beings, and He places before them their sustenance. ||1||

495 : 190
O my Dear Lord of Souls, one who meets with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is saved.

495 : 191
By Guru's Grace, he obtains the supreme status, and the dry branch blossoms forth in greenery. ||1||Pause||

495 : 192
Mother, father, friends, children, and spouse - no one is the support of any other.

495 : 193
For each and every individual, the Lord and Master provides sustenance; why do you fear, O my mind? ||2||

495 : 194
The flamingoes fly hundreds of miles, leaving their young ones behind.

495 : 195
Who feeds them, and who teaches them to feed themselves? Have you ever thought of this in your mind? ||3||

495 : 196
All treasures and the eighteen supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhas are held by the Lord and Master in the palm of His hand.

495 : 197
Servant Nanak is devoted, dedicated, and forever a sacrifice to You - Your vast expanse has no limit. ||4||1||

495 : 198
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padas, Second House:

495 : 199
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

495 : 200
They perform the four rituals and six religious rites; the world is engrossed in these.

495 : 201
They are not cleansed of the filth of their ego within; without the Guru, they lose the game of life. ||1||

Continued...

495 : 202
O my Lord and Master, please, grant Your Grace and preserve me.

495 : 203
Out of millions, hardly anyone is a servant of the Lord. All the others are mere traders. ||1||Pause||

495 : 204
I have searched all the Shaastras, the Vedas and the Simritees, and they all affirm one thing:

495 : 205
without the Guru, no one obtains liberation; see, and reflect upon this in your mind. ||2||

495 : 206
Even if one takes cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and wanders over the whole planet,

495 : 207
and performs all the rituals of purification day and night, still, without the True Guru, there is only darkness. ||3||

495 : 208
Roaming and wandering around, I have travelled over the whole world, and now, I have arrived at the Lord's Door.

495 : 209
The Lord has eliminated my evil-mindedness, and enlightened my intellect; O servant Nanak, the Gurmukhs are saved. ||4||1||2||

495 : 210
Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

495 : 211
The wealth of the Lord is my chanting, the wealth of the Lord is my deep meditation; the wealth of the Lord is the food I enjoy.

495 : 212
I do not forget the Lord, Har, Har, from my mind, even for an instant; I have found Him in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||

495 : 213
O mother, your son has returned home with a profit:

495 : 214
the wealth of the Lord while walking, the wealth of the Lord while sitting, and the wealth of the Lord while waking and sleeping. ||1||Pause||

495 : 215
The wealth of the Lord is my cleansing bath, the wealth of the Lord is my wisdom; I center my meditation on the Lord.

495 : 216
The wealth of the Lord is my raft, the wealth of the Lord is my boat; the Lord, Har, Har, is the ship to carry me across. ||2||
