Raag Gond - Part 017

875 : 785
O Pandit, I saw your Raam Chand coming too

875 : 786
; he lost his wife, fighting a war against Raawan. ||3||

875 : 787
The Hindu is sightless; the Muslim has only one eye.

875 : 788
The spiritual teacher is wiser than both of them.

875 : 789
The Hindu worships at the temple, the Muslim at the mosque.

875 : 790
Naam Dayv serves that Lord, who is not limited to either the temple or the mosque. ||4||3||7||

875 : 791
Raag Gond, The Word Of Ravi Daas Jee, Second House:

875 : 792
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

875 : 793
Meditate on the Lord Mukanday, the Liberator, O people of the world.

875 : 794
Without Mukanday, the body shall be reduced to ashes.

875 : 795
Mukanday is the Giver of liberation.

875 : 796
Mukanday is my father and mother. ||1||

875 : 797
Meditate on Mukanday in life, and meditate on Mukanday in death.

875 : 798
His servant is blissful forever. ||1||Pause||

875 : 799
The Lord, Mukanday, is my breath of life.

875 : 800
Meditating on Mukanday, one's forehead will bear the Lord's insignia of approval.

875 : 801
The renunciate serves Mukanday.

875 : 802
Mukanday is the wealth of the poor and forlorn. ||2||

875 : 803
When the One Liberator does me a favor,

875 : 804
then what can the world do to me?

875 : 805
Erasing my social status, I have entered His Court.

875 : 806
You, Mukanday, are potent throughout the four ages. ||3||

875 : 807
Spiritual wisdom has welled up, and I have been enlightened.

Continued...

875 : 808
In His Mercy, the Lord has made this worm His slave.

875 : 809
Says Ravi Daas, now my thirst is quenched;

875 : 810
I meditate on Mukanday the Liberator, and I serve Him. ||4||1||

875 : 811
GOND:

875 : 812
Someone may bathe at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage,

875 : 813
and worship the twelve Shiva-lingam stones,

875 : 814
and dig wells and pools,

875 : 815
but if he indulges in slander, then all of this is useless. ||1||

875 : 816
How can the slanderer of the Holy Saints be saved?

875 : 817
Know for certain, that he shall go to hell. ||1||Pause||

875 : 818
Someone may bathe at Kuruk-shaytra during a solar eclipse,

875 : 819
and give his decorated wife in offering,

875 : 820
and listen to all the Simritees,

875 : 821
but if he indulges in slander, these are of no account. ||2||

875 : 822
Someone may give countless feasts,

875 : 823
and donate land, and build splendid buildings;

875 : 824
he may neglect his own affairs to work for others,

875 : 825
but if he indulges in slander, he shall wander in countless incarnations. ||3||

875 : 826
Why do you indulge in slander, O people of the world?

875 : 827
The emptiness of the slanderer is soon exposed.

875 : 828
I have thought, and determined the fate of the slanderer.

875 : 829
Says Ravi Daas, he is a sinner; he shall go to hell. ||4||2||11||7||2||49|| Total||
