Raag Maajh - Part 036

129 : 1501
Day and night, they are in love with the True Word of the Shabad. They obtain their home in the Ocean of the Lord. ||5||

129 : 1502
The self-willed manmukhs shall always be filthy cranes, smeared with the filth of ego.

129 : 1503
They may bathe, but their filth is not removed.

129 : 1504
One who dies while yet alive, and contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad, is rid of this filth of ego. ||6||

129 : 1505
The Priceless Jewel is found, in the home of one's own being,

129 : 1506
when one listens to the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect True Guru.

129 : 1507
By Guru's Grace, the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled; I have come to recognize the Divine Light within my own heart. ||7||

129 : 1508
The Lord Himself creates, and He Himself beholds.

129 : 1509
Serving the True Guru, one becomes acceptable.

129 : 1510
O Nanak, the Naam dwells deep within the heart; by Guru's Grace, it is obtained. ||8||31||32||

129 : 1511
Maajh, Third Mehl:

129 : 1512
The whole world is engrossed in emotional attachment to Maya.

129 : 1513
Those who are controlled by the three qualities are attached to Maya.

129 : 1514
By Guru's Grace, a few come to understand; they center their consciousness in the fourth state. ||1||

129 : 1515
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who burn away their emotional attachment to Maya, through the Shabad.

129 : 1516
Those who burn away this attachment to Maya, and focus their consciousness on the Lord are honored in the True Court, and the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||

129 : 1517
The source, the root, of the gods and goddesses is Maya.

129 : 1518
For them, the Simritees and the Shaastras were composed.

129 : 1519
Sexual desire and anger are diffused throughout the universe. Coming and going, people suffer in pain. ||2||

129 : 1520
The jewel of spiritual wisdom was placed within the universe.

129 : 1521
By Guru's Grace, it is enshrined within the mind.

129 : 1522
Celibacy, chastity, self-discipline and the practice of truthfulness are obtained from the Perfect Guru, by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

129 : 1523
In this world of her parents' home, the soul-bride has been deluded by doubt.

129 : 1524
Attached to duality, she later comes to regret it.

129 : 1525
She forfeits both this world and the next, and even in her dreams, she does not find peace. ||4||

129 : 1526
The soul-bride who remembers her Husband Lord in this world,

129 : 1527
by Guru's Grace, sees Him close at hand.

129 : 1528
She remains intuitively attuned to the Love of her Beloved; she makes the Word of His Shabad her decoration. ||5||

129 : 1529
Blessed and fruitful is the coming of those who find the True Guru;

129 : 1530
through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they burn their love of duality.

129 : 1531
The One Lord is permeating and pervading deep within the heart. Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||6||

129 : 1532
Those who do not serve the True Guru-why did they even come into this world?

129 : 1533
Cursed are their lives; they have uselessly wasted this human life.

129 : 1534
The self-willed manmukhs do not remember the Naam. Without the Naam, they suffer in terrible pain. ||7||

129 : 1535
The One who created the Universe, He alone knows it.

129 : 1536
He unites with Himself those who realize the Shabad.

129 : 1537
O Nanak, they alone receive the Naam, upon whose foreheads such pre-ordained destiny is recorded. ||8||1||32||33||

129 : 1538
Maajh, Fourth Mehl:

129 : 1539
The Primal Being is Himself remote and beyond.

129 : 1540
He Himself establishes, and having established, He disestablishes.

129 : 1541
The One Lord is pervading in all; those who become Gurmukh are honored. ||1||

129 : 1542
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Formless Lord.
