Raag Soohee - Part 007

734 : 217
By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind; He cannot be obtained in any other way. ||1||

734 : 218
So gather in the wealth of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny,

734 : 219
so that in this world and the next, the Lord shall be your friend and companion. ||1||Pause||

734 : 220
In the company of the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, you shall earn the wealth of the Lord; this wealth of the Lord is not obtained anywhere else, by any other means, at all.

734 : 221
The dealer in the Lord's Jewels purchases the wealth of the Lord's jewels; the dealer in cheap glass jewels cannot acquire the Lord's wealth by empty words. ||2||

734 : 222
The Lord's wealth is like jewels, gems and rubies. At the appointed time in the Amrit Vaylaa, the ambrosial hours of the morning, the Lord's devotees lovingly center their attention on the Lord, and the wealth of the Lord.

734 : 223
The devotees of the Lord plant the seed of the Lord's wealth in the ambrosial hours of the Amrit Vaylaa; they eat it, and spend it, but it is never exhausted.

734 : 224
In this world and the next, the devotees are blessed with glorious greatness, the wealth of the Lord. ||3||

734 : 225
The wealth of the Fearless Lord is permanent, forever and ever, and true. This wealth of the Lord cannot be destroyed by fire or water; neither thieves nor the Messenger of Death can take it away.

734 : 226
Thieves cannot even approach the Lord's wealth; Death, the tax collector cannot tax it. ||4||

734 : 227
The faithless cynics commit sins and gather in their poisonous wealth, but it shall not go along with them for even a single step.

734 : 228
In this world, the faithless cynics become miserable, as it slips away through their hands. In the world hereafter, the faithless cynics find no shelter in the Court of the Lord. ||5||

734 : 229
The Lord Himself is the Banker of this wealth, O Saints; when the Lord gives it, the mortal loads it and takes it away.

734 : 230
This wealth of the Lord is never exhausted; the Guru has given this understanding to servant Nanak. ||6||3||10||

734 : 231
Soohee, Fourth Mehl:

734 : 232
That mortal, with whom the Lord is pleased, repeats the Glorious Praises of the Lord; he alone is a devotee, and he alone is approved.

734 : 233
How can his glory be described? Within his heart, the Primal Lord, the Lord God, abides. ||1||

734 : 234
Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe; focus your meditation on the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

734 : 235
He is the True Guru - service to the True Guru is fruitful and rewarding. By this service, the greatest treasure is obtained.

734 : 236
The faithless cynics in their love of duality and sensual desires, harbor foul-smelling urges. They are totally useless and ignorant. ||2||

734 : 237
One who has faith - his singing is approved. He is honored in the Court of the Lord.

734 : 238
Those who lack faith may close their eyes, hypocritically pretending and faking devotion, but their false pretenses shall soon wear off. ||3||

734 : 239
My soul and body are totally Yours, Lord; You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, my Primal Lord God.

734 : 240
So speaks servant Nanak, the slave of Your slaves; as You make me speak, so do I speak. ||4||4||11||
