Raag Soohee - Part 024

751 : 980
Soohee, First Mehl, Ninth House:

751 : 981
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

751 : 982
The color of safflower is transitory; it lasts for only a few days.

751 : 983
Without the Name, the false woman is deluded by doubt and plundered by thieves.

751 : 984
But those who are attuned to the True Lord, are not reincarnated again. ||1||

751 : 985
How can one who is already dyed in the color of the Lord's Love, be colored any other color?

751 : 986
So serve God the Dyer, and focus your consciousness on the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

751 : 987
You wander around in the four directions, but without the good fortune of destiny, you shall never obtain wealth.

751 : 988
If you are plundered by corruption and vice, you shall wander around, but like a fugitive, you shall find no place of rest.

751 : 989
Only those who are protected by the Guru are saved; their minds are attuned to the Word of the Shabad. ||2||

751 : 990
Those who wear white clothes, but have filthy and stone-hearted minds,

751 : 991
may chant the Lord's Name with their mouths, but they are engrossed in duality; they are thieves.

751 : 992
They do not understand their own roots; they are beasts. They are just animals! ||3||

751 : 993
Constantly, continually, the mortal seeks pleasures. Constantly, continually, he begs for peace.

751 : 994
But he does not think of the Creator Lord, and so he is overtaken by pain, again and again.

751 : 995
But one, within whose mind the Giver of pleasure and pain dwells - how can his body feel any need? ||4||

751 : 996
One who has a karmic debt to pay off is summoned, and the Messenger of Death smashes his head.

751 : 997
When his account is called for, it has to be given. After it is reviewed, payment is demanded.

Continued...

751 : 998
Only love for the True One will save you; the Forgiver forgives. ||5||

751 : 999
If you make any friend other than God, you shall die and mingle with the dust.

751 : 1000
Gazing upon the many games of love, you are beguiled and bewildered; you come and go in reincarnation.

751 : 1001
Only by God's Grace can you be saved. By His Grace, He unites in His Union. ||6||

751 : 1002
O careless one, you are totally lacking any wisdom; do not seek wisdom without the Guru.

751 : 1003
By indecision and inner conflict, you shall come to ruin. Good and bad both pull at you.

751 : 1004
Without being attuned to the Word of the Shabad and the Fear of God, all come under the gaze of the Messenger of Death. ||7||

751 : 1005
He who created the creation and sustains it, gives sustenance to all.

751 : 1006
How can you forget Him from your mind? He is the Great Giver, forever and ever.

751 : 1007
Nanak shall never forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Support of the unsupported. ||8||1||2||

751 : 1008
Soohee, First Mehl, Kaafee, Tenth House:

751 : 1009
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

751 : 1010
This human birth is so difficult to obtain; the Gurmukh obtains it.

751 : 1011
The mind and body are dyed in the deep red color of devotional love, if it pleases the True Guru. ||1||

751 : 1012
He departs with his life embellished and successful, taking the merchandise of the True Name.

751 : 1013
He is honored in the Darbaar, the Royal Court, of the Lord, through the Shabad, the Word of the True Guru, and the Fear of God. ||1||Pause||

751 : 1014
One who praises the True Lord with his mind and body, pleases the Mind of the True Lord.
