Raag Aasaa - Part 079

425 : 3660
Glory is in His Hands; He bestows His Name, and attaches us to it.

425 : 3661
O Nanak, the treasure of the Naam abides within the mind, and glory is obtained. ||8||4||26||

425 : 3662
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

425 : 3663
Listen, O mortal: enshrine His Name within your mind; He shall come to meet with you, O my Sibling of Destiny.

425 : 3664
Night and day, center your consciousness on true devotional worship of the True Lord. ||1||

425 : 3665
Meditate on the One Naam, and you shall find peace, O my Siblings of Destiny.

425 : 3666
Eradicate egotism and duality, and your glory shall be glorious. ||1||Pause||

425 : 3667
The angels, humans and silent sages long for this devotional worship, but without the True Guru, it cannot be attained.

425 : 3668
The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers read their books, but they do not understand. ||2||

425 : 3669
He Himself keeps all in His Hand; nothing else can be said.

425 : 3670
Whatever He gives, is received. The Guru has imparted this understanding to me. ||3||

425 : 3671
All beings and creatures are His; He belongs to all.

425 : 3672
So who can we call bad, since there is no other? ||4||

425 : 3673
The Command of the One Lord is pervading throughout; duty to the One Lord is upon the heads of all.

425 : 3674
He Himself has led them astray, and placed greed and corruption within their hearts. ||5||

425 : 3675
He has sanctified those few Gurmukhs who understand Him, and reflect upon Him.

425 : 3676
He grants devotional worship to them, and within them is the treasure. ||6||

425 : 3677
The spiritual teachers know nothing but the Truth; they obtain true understanding.

425 : 3678
They are led astray by Him, but they do not go astray, because they know the True Lord. ||7||

425 : 3679
Within the homes of their bodies, the five passions are pervading, but here, the five are well-behaved.

425 : 3680
O Nanak, without the True Guru, they are not overcome; through the Naam, the ego is conquered. ||8||5||27||

425 : 3681
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

425 : 3682
Everything is within the home of your own self; there is nothing beyond it.

425 : 3683
By Guru's Grace, it is obtained, and the doors of the inner heart are opened wide. ||1||

425 : 3684
From the True Guru, the Lord's Name is obtained, O Siblings of Destiny.

425 : 3685
The treasure of the Naam is within; the Perfect True Guru has shown this to me. ||1||Pause||

425 : 3686
One who is a buyer of the Lord's Name, finds it, and obtains the jewel of contemplation.

425 : 3687
He opens the doors deep within, and through the Eyes of Divine Vision, beholds the treasure of liberation. ||2||

425 : 3688
There are so many mansions within the body; the soul dwells within them.

425 : 3689
He obtains the fruits of his mind's desires, and he shall not have to go through reincarnation again. ||3||

425 : 3690
The appraisers cherish the commodity of the Name; they obtain understanding from the Guru.

425 : 3691
The wealth of the Naam is priceless; how few are the Gurmukhs who obtain it. ||4||

425 : 3692
Searching outwardly, what can anyone find? The commodity is deep within the home of the self, O Siblings of Destiny.

425 : 3693
The entire world is wandering around, deluded by doubt; the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor. ||5||

425 : 3694
The false one leaves his own hearth and home, and goes out to another's home.

425 : 3695
Like a thief, he is caught, and without the Naam, he is beaten and struck down. ||6||

425 : 3696
Those who know their own home, are happy, O Siblings of Destiny.

425 : 3697
They realize God within their own hearts, through the glorious greatness of the Guru. ||7||

425 : 3698
He Himself gives gifts, and He Himself bestows understanding; unto whom can we complain?

425 : 3699
O Nanak, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and you shall obtain glory in the True Court. ||8||6||28||
