Siree Raag - Part 017

30 : 641
Become Gurmukh, and meditate forever on the Dear Lord, the One and Only Creator. ||1||Pause||

30 : 642
The faces of the Gurmukhs are radiant and bright; they reflect on the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

30 : 643
They obtain peace in this world and the next, chanting and meditating within their hearts on the Lord.

30 : 644
Within the home of their own inner being, they obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, reflecting on the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

30 : 645
Those who turn their faces away from the True Guru shall have their faces blackened.

30 : 646
Night and day, they suffer in pain; they see the noose of Death always hovering above them.

30 : 647
Even in their dreams, they find no peace; they are consumed by the fires of intense anxiety. ||3||

30 : 648
The One Lord is the Giver of all; He Himself bestows all blessings.

30 : 649
No one else has any say in this; He gives just as He pleases.

30 : 650
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs obtain Him; He Himself knows Himself. ||4||9||42||

30 : 651
Siree Raag, Third Mehl:

30 : 652
Serve your True Lord and Master, and you shall be blessed with true greatness.

30 : 653
By Guru's Grace, He abides in the mind, and egotism is driven out.

30 : 654
This wandering mind comes to rest, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. ||1||

30 : 655
O Siblings of Destiny, become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Name of the Lord.

30 : 656
The Treasure of the Naam abides forever within the mind, and one's place of rest is found in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||

30 : 657
The minds and bodies of the self-willed manmukhs are filled with darkness; they find no shelter, no place of rest.

30 : 658
Through countless incarnations they wander lost, like crows in a deserted house.

30 : 659
Through the Guru's Teachings, the heart is illuminated. Through the Shabad, the Name of the Lord is received. ||2||

30 : 660
In the corruption of the three qualities, there is blindness; in attachment to Maya, there is darkness.

Continued...

30 : 661
The greedy people serve others, instead of the Lord, although they loudly announce their reading of scriptures.

30 : 662
They are burnt to death by their own corruption; they are not at home, on either this shore or the one beyond. ||3||

30 : 663
In attachment to Maya, they have forgotten the Father, the Cherisher of the World.

30 : 664
Without the Guru, all are unconscious; they are held in bondage by the Messenger of Death.

30 : 665
O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, you shall be saved, contemplating the True Name. ||4||10||43||

30 : 666
Siree Raag, Third Mehl:

30 : 667
The three qualities hold people in attachment to Maya. The Gurmukh attains the fourth state of higher consciousness.

30 : 668
Granting His Grace, God unites us with Himself. The Name of the Lord comes to abide within the mind.

30 : 669
Those who have the treasure of goodness join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||1||

30 : 670
O Siblings of Destiny, follow the Guru's Teachings and dwell in truth.

30 : 671
Practice truth, and only truth, and merge in the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||Pause||

30 : 672
I am a sacrifice to those who recognize the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

30 : 673
Renouncing selfishness, I fall at their feet, and walk in harmony with His Will.

30 : 674
Earning the Profit of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I am intuitively absorbed in the Naam. ||2||

30 : 675
Without the Guru, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence is not found, and the Naam is not obtained.

30 : 676
Seek and find such a True Guru, who shall lead you to the True Lord.

30 : 677
Destroy your evil passions, and you shall dwell in peace. Whatever pleases the Lord comes to pass. ||3||

30 : 678
As one knows the True Guru, so is the peace obtained.

30 : 679
There is no doubt at all about this, but those who love Him are very rare.

30 : 680
O Nanak, the One Light has two forms; through the Shabad, union is attained. ||4||11||44||
