Raag Wadahans - Part 002

558 : 29
You don't have the bracelets of gold, nor the good crystal jewelry; you haven't dealt with the true jeweller.

558 : 30
Those arms, which do not embrace the neck of the Husband Lord, burn in anguish.

558 : 31
All my companions have gone to enjoy their Husband Lord; which door should I, the wretched one, go to?

558 : 32
O friend, I may look very attractive, but I am not pleasing to my Husband Lord at all.

558 : 33
I have woven my hair into lovely braids, and saturated their partings with vermillion;

558 : 34
but when I go before Him, I am not accepted, and I die, suffering in anguish.

558 : 35
I weep; the whole world weeps; even the birds of the forest weep with me.

558 : 36
The only thing which doesn't weep is my body's sense of separateness, which has separated me from my Lord.

558 : 37
In a dream, He came, and went away again; I cried so many tears.

558 : 38
I can't come to You, O my Beloved, and I can't send anyone to You.

558 : 39
Come to me, O blessed sleep - perhaps I will see my Husband Lord again.

558 : 40
One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him?

558 : 41
Cutting off my head, I give it to Him to sit upon; without my head, I shall still serve Him.

558 : 42
Why haven't I died? Why hasn't my life just ended? My Husband Lord has become a stranger to me. ||1||3||

558 : 43
Wadahans, Third Mehl, First House:

558 : 44
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

558 : 45
When the mind is filthy, everything is filthy; by washing the body, the mind is not cleaned.

558 : 46
This world is deluded by doubt; how rare are those who understand this. ||1||

558 : 47
O my mind, chant the One Name.

Continued...

558 : 48
The True Guru has given me this treasure. ||1||Pause||

558 : 49
Even if one learns the Yogic postures of the Siddhas, and holds his sexual energy in check,

558 : 50
still, the filth of the mind is not removed, and the filth of egotism is not eliminated. ||2||

558 : 51
This mind is not controlled by any other discipline, except the Sanctuary of the True Guru.

558 : 52
Meeting the True Guru, one is transformed beyond description. ||3||

558 : 53
Prays Nanak, one who dies upon meeting the True Guru, shall be rejuvenated through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

558 : 54
The filth of his attachment and possessiveness shall depart, and his mind shall become pure. ||4||1||

558 : 55
Wadahans, Third Mehl:

558 : 56
By His Grace, one serves the True Guru; by His Grace, service is performed.

558 : 57
By His grace, this mind is controlled, and by His Grace, it becomes pure. ||1||

558 : 58
O my mind, think of the True Lord.

558 : 59
Think of the One Lord, and you shall obtain peace; you shall never suffer in sorrow again. ||1||Pause||

558 : 60
By His Grace, one dies while yet alive, and by His Grace, the Word of the Shabad is enshrined in the mind.

558 : 61
By His Grace, one understands the Hukam of the Lord's Command, and by His Command, one merges into the Lord. ||2||

558 : 62
That tongue, which does not savor the sublime essence of the Lord - may that tongue be burned off!

558 : 63
It remains attached to other pleasures, and through the love of duality, it suffers in pain. ||3||

558 : 64
The One Lord grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions.

558 : 65
O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, the fruits are obtained, and one is blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam. ||4||2||
