Raag Sorat'h - Part 051

645 : 1974
They do not know the state of their own minds; they are deluded by doubt and egotism.

645 : 1975
By Guru's Grace, the Fear of God is obtained; by great good fortune, the Lord comes to abide in the mind.

645 : 1976
When the Fear of God comes, the mind is restrained, and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is burnt away.

645 : 1977
Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate; their light merges in the Light.

645 : 1978
Meeting the True Guru, one obtains the Name; O Nanak, he is absorbed in peace. ||2||

645 : 1979
Pauree:

645 : 1980
The pleasures of kings and emperors are pleasing, but they last for only a few days.

645 : 1981
These pleasures of Maya are like the color of the safflower, which wears off in a moment.

645 : 1982
They do not go with him when he departs; instead, he carries the load of sins upon his head.

645 : 1983
When death seizes him, and marches him away, then he looks absolutely hideous.

645 : 1984
That lost opportunity will not come into his hands again, and in the end, he regrets and repents. ||6||

645 : 1985
Shalok, Third Mehl:

645 : 1986
Those who turn their faces away from the True Guru, suffer in sorrow and bondage.

645 : 1987
Again and again, they are born only to die; they cannot meet their Lord.

645 : 1988
The disease of doubt does not depart, and they find only pain and more pain.

645 : 1989
O Nanak, if the Gracious Lord forgives, then one is united in Union with the Word of the Shabad. ||1||

645 : 1990
Third Mehl:

645 : 1991
Those who turn their faces away from the True Guru, shall find no place of rest or shelter.

645 : 1992
They wander around from door to door, like a woman forsaken, with a bad character and a bad reputation.

645 : 1993
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are forgiven, and united in Union with the True Guru. ||2||

645 : 1994
Pauree:

645 : 1995
Those who serve the True Lord, the Destroyer of ego, cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

Continued...

645 : 1996
Those who chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, are passed over by the Messenger of Death.

645 : 1997
Those who meditate on the Lord, go to His Court in robes of honor.

645 : 1998
They alone serve You, O Lord, whom You bless with Grace.

645 : 1999
I sing continually Your Glorious Praises, O Beloved; as Gurmukh, my doubts and fears have been dispelled. ||7||

645 : 2000
Shalok, Third Mehl:

645 : 2001
Upon the plate, three things have been placed; this is the sublime, ambrosial food of the Lord.

645 : 2002
Eating this, the mind is satisfied, and the Door of Salvation is found.

645 : 2003
It is so difficult to obtain this food, O Saints; it is obtained only by contemplating the Guru.

645 : 2004
Why should we cast this riddle out of our minds? We should keep it ever enshrined in our hearts.

645 : 2005
The True Guru has posed this riddle. The Guru's Sikhs have found its solution.

645 : 2006
O Nanak, he alone understands this, whom the Lord inspires to understand. The Gurmukhs work hard, and find the Lord. ||1||

645 : 2007
Third Mehl:

645 : 2008
Those whom the Primal Lord unites, remain in Union with Him; they focus their consciousness on the True Guru.

645 : 2009
Those whom the Lord Himself separates, remain separated; in the love of duality, they are ruined.

645 : 2010
O Nanak, without good karma, what can anyone obtain? He earns what he is pre-destined to receive. ||2||

645 : 2011
Pauree:

645 : 2012
Sitting together, the companions sing the Songs of the Lord's Praises.

645 : 2013
They praise the Lord's Name continually; they are a sacrifice to the Lord.

645 : 2014
Those who hear, and believe in the Lord's Name, to them I am a sacrifice.

645 : 2015
O Lord, let me unite with the Gurmukhs, who are united with You.

645 : 2016
I am a sacrifice to those who, day and night, behold their Guru. ||8||

645 : 2017
