Raag Soohee - Part 039

766 : 1532
Let us form a partnership, and share our virtues; let us abandon our faults, and walk on the Path.

766 : 1533
Let us wear our virtues like silk clothes; let us decorate ourselves, and enter the arena.

766 : 1534
Let us speak of goodness, wherever we go and sit; let us skim off the Ambrosial Nectar, and drink it in.

766 : 1535
One who has a basket of fragrant virtues, should enjoy its fragrance. ||3||

766 : 1536
He Himself acts; unto whom should we complain? No one else does anything.

766 : 1537
Go ahead and complain to Him, if He makes a mistake.

766 : 1538
If He makes a mistake, go ahead and complain to Him; but how can the Creator Himself make a mistake?

766 : 1539
He sees, He hears, and without our asking, without our begging, He gives His gifts.

766 : 1540
The Great Giver, the Architect of the Universe, gives His gifts. O Nanak, He is the True Lord.

766 : 1541
He Himself acts; unto whom should we complain? No one else does anything. ||4||1||4||

766 : 1542
Soohee, First Mehl:

766 : 1543
My mind is imbued with His Glorious Praises; I chant them, and He is pleasing to my mind.

766 : 1544
Truth is the ladder to the Guru; climbing up to the True Lord, peace is obtained.

766 : 1545
Celestial peace comes; the Truth pleases me. How could these True Teachings ever be erased?

766 : 1546
He Himself is Undeceivable; how could He ever be deceived by cleansing baths, charity, spiritual wisdom or ritual bathings?

766 : 1547
Fraud, attachment and corruption are taken away, as are falsehood, hypocrisy and duality.

766 : 1548
My mind is imbued with His Glorious Praises; I chant them, and He is pleasing to my mind. ||1||

766 : 1549
So praise your Lord and Master, who created the creation.

766 : 1550
Filth sticks to the polluted mind; how rare are those who drink in the Ambrosial Nectar.

Continued...

766 : 1551
Churn this Ambrosial Nectar, and drink it in; dedicate this mind to the Guru, and He will value it highly.

766 : 1552
I intuitively realized my God, when I linked my mind to the True Lord.

766 : 1553
I will sing the Lord's Glorious Praises with Him, if it pleases Him; how could I meet Him by being a stranger to Him?

766 : 1554
So praise your Lord and Master, who created the creation. ||2||

766 : 1555
When He comes, what else remains behind? How can there be any coming or going then?

766 : 1556
When the mind is reconciled with its Beloved Lord, it is blended with Him.

766 : 1557
True is the speech of one who is imbued with the Love of his Lord and Master, who fashioned the body fortress from a mere bubble.

766 : 1558
He is the Master of the five elements; He Himself is the Creator Lord. He embellished the body with Truth.

766 : 1559
I am worthless; please hear me, O my Beloved! Whatever pleases You is True.

766 : 1560
One who is blessed with true understanding, does not come and go. ||3||

766 : 1561
Apply such an ointment to your eyes, which is pleasing to your Beloved.

766 : 1562
I realize, understand and know Him, only if He Himself causes me to know Him.

766 : 1563
He Himself shows me the Way, and He Himself leads me to it, attracting my mind.

766 : 1564
He Himself causes us to do good and bad deeds; who can know the value of the Mysterious Lord?

766 : 1565
I know nothing of Tantric spells, magical mantras and hypocritical rituals; enshrining the Lord within my heart, my mind is satisfied.

766 : 1566
The ointment of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is only understood by one who realizes the Lord, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||4||

766 : 1567
I have my own friends; why should I go to the home of a stranger?

766 : 1568
My friends are imbued with the True Lord; He is with them, in their minds.

766 : 1569
In their minds, these friends celebrate in happiness; all good karma, righteousness and Dharma, the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage, charity and worship, are found in the love of the True Name.
