Raag Wadahans - Part 025

581 : 900
I too have been defrauded, chasing after worldly entanglements; my Husband Lord has forsaken me - I practice the evil deeds of a wife without a spouse.

581 : 901
In each and every home, are the brides of the Husband Lord; they gaze upon their Handsome Lord with love and affection.

581 : 902
I sing the Praises of my True Husband Lord, and through the Naam, the Name of my Husband Lord, I blossom forth. ||7||

581 : 903
Meeting with the Guru, the soul-bride's dress is transformed, and she is adorned with Truth.

581 : 904
Come and meet with me, O brides of the Lord; let's meditate in remembrance on the Creator Lord.

581 : 905
Through the Naam, the soul-bride becomes the Lord's favorite; she is adorned with Truth.

581 : 906
Do not sing the songs of separation, O Nanak; reflect upon God. ||8||3||

581 : 907
Wadahans, First Mehl:

581 : 908
The One who creates and dissolves the world - that Lord and Master alone knows His creative power.

581 : 909
Do not search for the True Lord far away; recognize the Word of the Shabad in each and every heart.

581 : 910
Recognize the Shabad, and do not think that the Lord is far away; He created this creation.

581 : 911
Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one obtains peace; without the Naam, he plays a losing game.

581 : 912
The One who established the Universe, He alone knows the Way; what can anyone say?

581 : 913
The One who established the world cast the net of Maya over it; accept Him as your Lord and Master. ||1||

581 : 914
O Baba, he has come, and now he must get up and depart; this world is only a way-station.

581 : 915
Upon each and every head, the True Lord writes their destiny of pain and pleasure, according to their past actions.

581 : 916
He bestows pain and pleasure, according to the deeds done; the record of these deeds stays with the soul.

581 : 917
He does those deeds which the Creator Lord causes him to do; he attempts no other actions.

581 : 918
The Lord Himself is detached, while the world is entangled in conflict; by His Command, He emancipates it.

581 : 919
He may put this off today, but tomorrow he is seized by death; in love with duality, he practices corruption. ||2||

Continued...

581 : 920
The path of death is dark and dismal; the way cannot be seen.

581 : 921
There is no water, no quilt or mattress, and no food there.

581 : 922
He receives no food there, no honor or water, no clothes or decorations.

581 : 923
The chain is put around his neck, and the Messenger of Death standing over his head strikes him; he cannot see the door of his home.

581 : 924
The seeds planted on this path do not sprout; bearing the weight of his sins upon his head, he regrets and repents.

581 : 925
Without the True Lord, no one is his friend; reflect upon this as true. ||3||

581 : 926
O Baba, they alone are known to truly weep and wail, who meet together and weep, chanting the Praises of the Lord.

581 : 927
Defrauded by Maya and worldly affairs, the weepers weep.

581 : 928
They weep for the sake of worldly affairs, and they do not wash off their own filth; the world is merely a dream.

581 : 929
Like the juggler, deceiving by his tricks, one is deluded by egotism, falsehood and illusion.

581 : 930
The Lord Himself reveals the Path; He Himself is the Doer of deeds.

581 : 931
Those who are imbued with the Naam, are protected by the Perfect Guru, O Nanak; they merge in celestial bliss. ||4||4||

581 : 932
Wadahans, First Mehl:

581 : 933
O Baba, whoever has come, will rise up and leave; this world is merely a false show.

581 : 934
One's true home is obtained by serving the True Lord; real Truth is obtained by being truthful.

581 : 935
By falsehood and greed, no place of rest is found, and no place in the world hereafter is obtained.

581 : 936
No one invites him to come in and sit down. He is like a crow in a deserted home.

581 : 937
Trapped by birth and death, he is separated from the Lord for such a long time; the whole world is wasting away.

581 : 938
Greed, worldly entanglements and Maya deceive the world. Death hovers over its head, and causes it to weep. ||1||
