Raag Gond - Part 015

873 : 679
GOND:

873 : 680
Blessed is the Lord of the World. Blessed is the Divine Guru.

873 : 681
Blessed is that grain, by which the heart-lotus of the hungry blossoms forth.

873 : 682
Blessed are those Saints, who know this.

873 : 683
Meeting with them, one meets the Lord, the Sustainer of the World. ||1||

873 : 684
This grain comes from the Primal Lord God.

873 : 685
One chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, only when he tastes this grain. ||1||Pause||

873 : 686
Meditate on the Naam, and meditate on this grain.

873 : 687
Mixed with water, its taste becomes sublime.

873 : 688
One who abstains from this grain,

873 : 689
loses his honor in the three worlds. ||2||

873 : 690
One who discards this grain, is practicing hypocrisy.

873 : 691
She is neither a happy soul-bride, nor a widow.

873 : 692
Those who claim in this world that they live on milk alone,

873 : 693
secretly eat whole loads of food. ||3||

873 : 694
Without this grain, time does not pass in peace.

873 : 695
Forsaking this grain, one does not meet the Lord of the World.

873 : 696
Says Kabeer, this I know:

873 : 697
blessed is that grain, which brings faith in the Lord and Master to the mind. ||4||8||11||

873 : 698
Raag Gond, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

873 : 699
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

873 : 700
The ritual sacrifice of horses,

873 : 701
giving one's weight in gold to charities,

873 : 702
and ceremonial cleansing baths -||1||

873 : 703
These are not equal to singing the Praises of the Lord's Name.

873 : 704
Meditate on your Lord, you lazy man! ||1||Pause||

873 : 705
Offering sweet rice at Gaya,

Continued...

873 : 706
living on the river banks at Benares,

873 : 707
reciting the four Vedas by heart;||2||

873 : 708
Completing all religious rituals,

873 : 709
restraining sexual passion by the spiritual wisdom given by the Guru,

873 : 710
and performing the six rituals;||3||

873 : 711
Expounding on Shiva and Shakti

873 : 712
- O man, renounce and abandon all these things.

873 : 713
Meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe.

873 : 714
Meditate, O Naam Dayv, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||1||

873 : 715
GOND:

873 : 716
The deer is lured by the sound of the hunter's bell;

873 : 717
it loses its life, but it cannot stop thinking about it. ||1||

873 : 718
In the same way, I look upon my Lord.

873 : 719
I will not abandon my Lord, and turn my thoughts to another. ||1||Pause||

873 : 720
As the fisherman looks upon the fish,

873 : 721
and the goldsmith looks upon the gold he fashions;||2||

873 : 722
As the man driven by sex looks upon another man's wife,

873 : 723
and the gambler looks upon the throwing of the dice -||3||

873 : 724
In the same way, wherever Naam Dayv looks, he sees the Lord.

873 : 725
Naam Dayv meditates continuously on the Feet of the Lord. ||4||2||

873 : 726
GOND:

873 : 727
Carry me across, O Lord, carry me across.

873 : 728
I am ignorant, and I do not know how to swim. O my Beloved Father, please give me Your arm. ||1||Pause||

873 : 729
I have been transformed from a mortal being into an angel, in an instant; the True Guru has taught me this.

873 : 730
Born of human flesh, I have conquered the heavens; such is the medicine I was given. ||1||

873 : 731
Please place me where You placed Dhroo and Naarad, O my Master.

873 : 732
With the Support of Your Name, so many have been saved; this is Naam Dayv's understanding. ||2||3||
