Raag Goojaree - Part 036

524 : 1350
Grabbing them by the hair on their heads, the Lord throws them down, and leaves them on the path of Death.

524 : 1351
They cry out in pain, in the darkest of hells.

524 : 1352
But hugging His slaves close to His Heart, O Nanak, the True Lord saves them. ||20||

524 : 1353
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

524 : 1354
Meditate on the Lord, O fortunate ones; He is pervading the waters and the earth.

524 : 1355
O Nanak, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and no misfortune shall strike you. ||1||

524 : 1356
Fifth Mehl:

524 : 1357
Millions of misfortunes block the way of one who forgets the Name of the Lord.

524 : 1358
O Nanak, like a crow in a deserted house, he cries out, night and day. ||2||

524 : 1359
Pauree:

524 : 1360
Meditating, meditating in remembrance of the Great Giver, one's heart's desires are fulfilled.

524 : 1361
The hopes and desires of the mind are realized, and sorrows are forgotten.

524 : 1362
The treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained; I have searched for it for so long.

524 : 1363
My light is merged into the Light, and my labors are over.

524 : 1364
I abide in that house of peace, poise and bliss.

524 : 1365
My comings and goings have ended - there is no birth or death there.

524 : 1366
The Master and the servant have become one, with no sense of separation.

524 : 1367
By Guru's Grace, Nanak is absorbed in the True Lord. ||21||1||2||SUDH||

524 : 1368
Raag Goojaree, The Words Of The Devotees:

524 : 1369
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

524 : 1370
Chau-Padas Of Kabeer Jee, Second House:

Continued...

524 : 1371
With four feet, two horns and a mute mouth, how could you sing the Praises of the Lord?

524 : 1372
Standing up and sitting down, the stick shall still fall on you, so where will you hide your head? ||1||

524 : 1373
Without the Lord, you are like a stray ox;

524 : 1374
with your nose torn, and your shoulders injured, you shall have only the straw of coarse grain to eat. ||1||Pause||

524 : 1375
All day long, you shall wander in the forest, and even then, your belly will not be full.

524 : 1376
You did not follow the advice of the humble devotees, and so you shall obtain the fruits of your actions. ||2||

524 : 1377
Enduring pleasure and pain, drowned in the great ocean of doubt, you shall wander in numerous reincarnations.

524 : 1378
You have lost the jewel of human birth by forgetting God; when will you have such an opportunity again? ||3||

524 : 1379
You turn on the wheel of reincarnation, like an ox at the oil-press; the night of your life passes away without salvation.

524 : 1380
Says Kabeer, without the Name of the Lord, you shall pound your head, and regret and repent. ||4||1||

524 : 1381
GOOJAREE, THIRD HOUSE:

524 : 1382
Kabeer's mother sobs, cries and bewails

524 : 1383
- O Lord, how will my grandchildren live? ||1||

524 : 1384
Kabeer has given up all his spinning and weaving,

524 : 1385
and written the Name of the Lord on his body. ||1||Pause||

524 : 1386
As long as I pass the thread through the bobbin,

524 : 1387
I forget the Lord, my Beloved. ||2||

524 : 1388
My intellect is lowly - I am a weaver by birth,

524 : 1389
but I have earned the profit of the Name of the Lord. ||3||

524 : 1390
Says Kabeer, listen, O my mother

524 : 1391
- the Lord alone is the Provider, for me and my children. ||4||2||
