Raag Prabhaatee - Part 006

1332 : 203
The rays of light spread out, and the heart-lotus joyfully blossoms forth; the sun enters into the house of the moon.

1332 : 204
I have conquered death; the desires of the mind are destroyed. By Guru's Grace, I have found God. ||3||

1332 : 205
I am dyed in the deep crimson color of His Love. I am not colored by any other color.

1332 : 206
O Nanak, my tongue is saturated with the taste of God, who is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||4||15||

1332 : 207
Prabhaatee, First Mehl:

1332 : 208
The Yogis are divided into twelve schools, the Sannyaasees into ten.

1332 : 209
The Yogis and those wearing religious robes, and the Jains with their all hair plucked out - without the Word of the Shabad, the noose is around their necks. ||1||

1332 : 210
Those who are imbued with the Shabad are the perfectly detached renunciates.

1332 : 211
They beg to receive charity in the hands of their hearts, embracing love and affection for the One. ||1||Pause||

1332 : 212
The Brahmins study and argue about the scriptures; they perform ceremonial rituals, and lead others in these rituals.

1332 : 213
Without true understanding, those self-willed manmukhs understand nothing. Separated from God, they suffer in pain. ||2||

1332 : 214
Those who receive the Shabad are sanctified and pure; they are approved in the True Court.

1332 : 215
Night and day, they remain lovingly attuned to the Naam; throughout the ages, they are merged in the True One. ||3||

1332 : 216
Good deeds, righteousness and Dharmic faith, purification, austere self-discipline, chanting, intense meditation and pilgrimages to sacred shrines - all these abide in the Shabad.

1332 : 217
O Nanak, united in union with the True Guru, suffering, sin and death run away. ||4||16||

1332 : 218
Prabhaatee, First Mehl:

Continued...

1332 : 219
The dust of the feet of the Saints, the Company of the Holy, and the Praises of the Lord carry us across to the other side.

1332 : 220
What can the wretched, terrified Messenger of Death do to the Gurmukhs? The Lord abides in their hearts. ||1||

1332 : 221
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, life might just as well be burnt down.

1332 : 222
The Gurmukh chants and meditates on the Lord, chanting the chant on the mala; the Flavor of the Lord comes into the mind. ||1||Pause||

1332 : 223
Those who follow the Guru's Teachings find true peace - how can I even describe the glory of such a person?

1332 : 224
The Gurmukh seeks and finds the gems and jewels, diamonds, rubies and treasures. ||2||

1332 : 225
So center yourself on the treasures of spiritual wisdom and meditation; remain lovingly attuned to the One True Lord, and the Word of His Shabad.

1332 : 226
Remain absorbed in the Primal State of the Fearless, Immaculate, Independent, Self-sufficient Lord. ||3||

1332 : 227
The seven seas are overflowing with the Immaculate Water; the inverted boat floats across.

1332 : 228
The mind which wandered in external distractions is restrained and held in check; the Gurmukh is intuitively absorbed in God. ||4||

1332 : 229
He is a householder, he is a renunciate and God's slave, who, as Gurmukh, realizes his own self.

1332 : 230
Says Nanak, his mind is pleased and appeased by the True Word of the Shabad; there is no other at all. ||5||17||

1332 : 231
Raag Prabhaatee, Third Mehl, Chau-Padas:

1332 : 232
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1332 : 233
Those who become Gurmukh and understand are very rare; God is permeating and pervading through the Word of His Shabad.

1332 : 234
Those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, find everlasting peace; they remain lovingly attuned to the True One. ||1||
