Siree Raag - Part 037

50 : 1426
The True Guru is the Deep and Profound Ocean of Peace, the Destroyer of sin.

50 : 1427
For those who serve their Guru, there is no punishment at the hands of the Messenger of Death.

50 : 1428
There is none to compare with the Guru; I have searched and looked throughout the entire universe.

50 : 1429
The True Guru has bestowed the Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. O Nanak, the mind is filled with peace. ||4||20||90||

50 : 1430
Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:

50 : 1431
People eat what they believe to be sweet, but it turns out to be bitter in taste.

50 : 1432
They attach their affections to brothers and friends, uselessly engrossed in corruption.

50 : 1433
They vanish without a moment's delay; without God's Name, they are stunned and amazed. ||1||

50 : 1434
O my mind, attach yourself to the service of the True Guru.

50 : 1435
Whatever is seen, shall pass away. Abandon the intellectualizations of your mind. ||1||Pause||

50 : 1436
Like the mad dog running around in all directions,

50 : 1437
the greedy person, unaware, consumes everything, edible and non-edible alike.

50 : 1438
Engrossed in the intoxication of sexual desire and anger, people wander through reincarnation over and over again. ||2||

50 : 1439
Maya has spread out her net, and in it, she has placed the bait.

50 : 1440
The bird of desire is caught, and cannot find any escape, O my mother.

50 : 1441
One who does not know the Lord who created him, comes and goes in reincarnation over and over again. ||3||

50 : 1442
By various devices, and in so many ways, this world is enticed.

50 : 1443
They alone are saved, whom the All-powerful, Infinite Lord protects.

50 : 1444
The servants of the Lord are saved by the Love of the Lord. O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice to them. ||4||21||91||

50 : 1445
Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl, Second House:

Continued...

50 : 1446
The herdsman comes to the pasture lands-what good are his ostentatious displays here?

50 : 1447
When your allotted time is up, you must go. Take care of your real hearth and home. ||1||

50 : 1448
O mind, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and serve the True Guru with love.

50 : 1449
Why do you take pride in trivial matters? ||1||Pause||

50 : 1450
Like an overnight guest, you shall arise and depart in the morning.

50 : 1451
Why are you so attached to your household? It is all like flowers in the garden. ||2||

50 : 1452
Why do you say, "Mine, mine"? Look to God, who has given it to you.

50 : 1453
It is certain that you must arise and depart, and leave behind your hundreds of thousands and millions. ||3||

50 : 1454
Through 8.4 million incarnations you have wandered, to obtain this rare and precious human life.

50 : 1455
O Nanak, remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord; the day of departure is drawing near! ||4||22||92||

50 : 1456
Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:

50 : 1457
As long as the soul-companion is with the body, it dwells in happiness.

50 : 1458
But when the companion arises and departs, then the body-bride mingles with dust. ||1||

50 : 1459
My mind has become detached from the world; it longs to see the Vision of God's Darshan.

50 : 1460
Blessed is Your Place. ||1||Pause||

50 : 1461
As long as the soul-husband dwells in the body-house, everyone greets you with respect.

50 : 1462
But when the soul-husband arises and departs, then no one cares for you at all. ||2||

50 : 1463
In this world of your parents' home, serve your Husband Lord; in the world beyond, in your in-laws' home, you shall dwell in peace.

50 : 1464
Meeting with the Guru, be a sincere student of proper conduct, and suffering shall never touch you. ||3||

50 : 1465
Everyone shall go to their Husband Lord. Everyone shall be given their ceremonial send-off after their marriage.
