Raag Bihaagra - Part 020

556 : 667
As long as there is breath in the body, he does not remember the Lord; what will he do in the world hereafter?

556 : 668
One who remembers the Lord is a spiritual teacher; the ignorant one acts blindly.

556 : 669
O Nanak, whatever one does in this world, determines what he shall receive in the world hereafter. ||1||

556 : 670
Third Mehl:

556 : 671
From the very beginning, it has been the Will of the Lord Master, that He cannot be remembered without the True Guru.

556 : 672
Meeting the True Guru, he realizes that the Lord is permeating and pervading deep within him; he remains forever absorbed in the Lord's Love.

556 : 673
With each and every breath, he constantly remembers the Lord in meditation; not a single breath passes in vain.

556 : 674
His fears of birth and death depart, and he obtains the honored state of eternal life.

556 : 675
O Nanak, He bestows this rank upon that mortal, upon whom He showers His Mercy. ||2||

556 : 676
Pauree:

556 : 677
He Himself is all-wise and all-knowing; He Himself is supreme.

556 : 678
He Himself reveals His form, and He Himself enjoins us to His meditation.

556 : 679
He Himself poses as a silent sage, and He Himself speaks spiritual wisdom.

556 : 680
He does not seem bitter to anyone; He is pleasing to all.

556 : 681
His Praises cannot be described; forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||19||

556 : 682
Shalok, First Mehl:

556 : 683
In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, O Nanak, the demons have taken birth.

556 : 684
The son is a demon, and the daughter is a demon; the wife is the chief of the demons. ||1||

556 : 685
First Mehl:

556 : 686
The Hindus have forgotten the Primal Lord; they are going the wrong way.

556 : 687
As Naarad instructed them, they are worshipping idols. They are blind and mute, the blindest of the blind.

556 : 688
The ignorant fools pick up stones and worship them.

Continued...

556 : 689
But when those stones themselves sink, who will carry you across? ||2||

556 : 690
Pauree:

556 : 691
Everything is in Your power; You are the True King.

556 : 692
The devotees are imbued with the Love of the One Lord; they have perfect faith in Him.

556 : 693
The Name of the Lord is the ambrosial food; His humble servants eat their fill.

556 : 694
All treasures are obtained - meditative remembrance on the Lord is the true profit.

556 : 695
The Saints are very dear to the Supreme Lord God, O Nanak; the Lord is unapproachable and unfathomable. ||20||

556 : 696
Shalok, Third Mehl:

556 : 697
Everything comes by the Lord's Will, and everything goes by the Lord's Will.

556 : 698
If some fool believes that he is the creator, he is blind, and acts in blindness.

556 : 699
O Nanak, the Gurmukh understands the Hukam of the Lord's Command; the Lord showers His Mercy upon him. ||1||

556 : 700
Third Mehl:

556 : 701
He alone is a Yogi, and he alone finds the Way, who, as Gurmukh, obtains the Naam.

556 : 702
In the body-village of that Yogi are all blessings; this Yoga is not obtained by outward show.

556 : 703
O Nanak, such a Yogi is very rare; the Lord is manifest in his heart. ||2||

556 : 704
Pauree:

556 : 705
He Himself created the creatures, and He Himself supports them.

556 : 706
He Himself is seen to be subtle, and He Himself is obvious.

556 : 707
He Himself remains a solitary recluse, and He Himself has a huge family.

556 : 708
Nanak asks for the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints of the Lord.

556 : 709
I cannot see any other Giver; You alone are the Giver, O Lord. ||21||1|| Sudh||
