Raag Sorat'h - Part 043

637 : 1685
The poisonous Maya has enticed the consciousness, O Siblings of Destiny; through clever tricks, one loses his honor.

637 : 1686
The True Lord and Master abides in the consciousness, O Siblings of Destiny, if the Guru's spiritual wisdom permeates it. ||2||

637 : 1687
Beautiful, beautiful, the Lord is called, O Siblings of Destiny; beautiful, like the deep crimson color of the poppy.

637 : 1688
If man loves the Lord with detachment, O Siblings of Destiny, he is judged to be true and infallible in the Lord's court and home. ||3||

637 : 1689
You are pervading the realms of the underworld and the heavenly skies; Your wisdom and glories are in each and every heart.

637 : 1690
Meeting with the Guru, one finds peace, O Siblings of Destiny, and pride is dispelled from the mind. ||4||

637 : 1691
Scrubbing with water, the body can be cleaned, O Siblings of Destiny, but the body becomes dirty again.

637 : 1692
Bathing in the supreme essence of spiritual wisdom, O Siblings of Destiny, the mind and body become pure. ||5||

637 : 1693
Why worship gods and goddesses, O Siblings of Destiny? What can we ask of them? What can they give us?

637 : 1694
The stone gods are washed with water, O Siblings of Destiny, but they just sink in the water. ||6||

637 : 1695
Without the Guru, the unseen Lord cannot be seen, O Siblings of Destiny; the world is drowning, having lost its honor.

637 : 1696
Greatness is in the hands of my Lord and Master, O Siblings of Destiny; as He is pleased, He gives. ||7||

637 : 1697
That soul-bride, who talks sweetly and speaks the Truth, O Siblings of Destiny, becomes pleasing to her Husband Lord.

637 : 1698
Pierced by His Love, she abides in Truth, O Siblings of Destiny, deeply imbued with the Lord's Name. ||8||

637 : 1699
Everyone calls God his own, O Siblings of Destiny, but the all-knowing Lord is known only through the Guru.

637 : 1700
Those who are pierced by His Love are saved, O Siblings of Destiny; they bear the Insignia of the True Word of the Shabad. ||9||

637 : 1701
A large pile of firewood, O Siblings of Destiny, will burn if a small fire is applied.

637 : 1702
In the same way, if the Naam, the Name of the Lord, dwells in the heart for a moment, even for an instant, O Siblings of Destiny, then one meets the Lord with ease, O Nanak. ||10||4||

637 : 1703
Sorat'h, Third Mehl, First House, Ti-Tukas:

637 : 1704
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

637 : 1705
You always preserve the honor of Your devotees, O Dear Lord; You have protected them from the very beginning of time.

637 : 1706
You protected Your servant Prahlaad, O Dear Lord, and annihilated Harnaakhash.

637 : 1707
The Gurmukhs place their faith in the Dear Lord, but the self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt. ||1||

637 : 1708
O Dear Lord, this is Your Glory.

637 : 1709
You preserve the honor of Your devotees, O Lord Master; Your devotees seek Your Sanctuary. ||Pause||

637 : 1710
The Messenger of Death cannot touch Your devotees; death cannot even approach them.

637 : 1711
The Name of the Lord alone abides in their minds; through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they find liberation.

637 : 1712
Wealth and all the spiritual powers of the Siddhis fall at the feet of the Lord's devotees; they obtain peace and poise from the Guru. ||2||

637 : 1713
The self-willed manmukhs have no faith; they are filled with greed and self-interest.

637 : 1714
They are not Gurmukh - they do not understand the Word of the Shabad in their hearts; they do not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

637 : 1715
Their masks of falsehood and hypocrisy shall fall off; the self-willed manmukhs speak with insipid words. ||3||

637 : 1716
You are pervading through Your devotees, O Dear God; through Your devotees, You are known.

637 : 1717
All the people are enticed by Maya; they are Yours, Lord - You alone are the Architect of Destiny.
