Raag Soohee - Part 066

793 : 2556
Soohee, Kabeer Jee, Lallit:

793 : 2557
My eyes are exhausted, and my ears are tired of hearing; my beautiful body is exhausted.

793 : 2558
Driven forward by old age, all my senses are exhausted; only my attachment to Maya is not exhausted. ||1||

793 : 2559
O mad man, you have not obtained spiritual wisdom and meditation.

793 : 2560
You have wasted this human life, and lost. ||1||Pause||

793 : 2561
O mortal, serve the Lord, as long as the breath of life remains in the body.

793 : 2562
And even when your body dies, your love for the Lord shall not die; you shall dwell at the Feet of the Lord. ||2||

793 : 2563
When the Word of the Shabad abides deep within, thirst and desire are quenched.

793 : 2564
When one understands the Hukam of the Lord's Command, he plays the game of chess with the Lord; throwing the dice, he conquers his own mind. ||3||

793 : 2565
Those humble beings, who know the Imperishable Lord and meditate on Him, are not destroyed at all.

793 : 2566
Says Kabeer, those humble beings who know how to throw these dice, never lose the game of life. ||4||4||

793 : 2567
Soohee, Lalit, Kabeer Jee:

793 : 2568
In the one fortress of the body, there are five rulers, and all five demand payment of taxes.

793 : 2569
I have not farmed anyone's land, so such payment is difficult for me to pay. ||1||

793 : 2570
O people of the Lord, the tax-collector is constantly torturing me!

793 : 2571
Raising my arms up, I complained to my Guru, and He has saved me. ||1||Pause||

793 : 2572
The nine tax-assessors and the ten magistrates go out; they do not allow their subjects to live in peace.

793 : 2573
They do not measure with a full tape, and they take huge amounts in bribes. ||2||

793 : 2574
The One Lord is contained in the seventy-two chambers of the body, and He has written off my account.

793 : 2575
The records of the Righteous Judge of Dharma have been searched, and I owe absolutely nothing. ||3||

793 : 2576
Let no one slander the Saints, because the Saints and the Lord are as one.

793 : 2577
Says Kabeer, I have found that Guru, whose Name is Clear Understanding. ||4||5||

Raag Soohee, The Word Of Sree Ravi Daas Jee:

793 : 2579
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

793 : 2580
The happy soul-bride knows the worth of her Husband Lord.

793 : 2581
Renouncing pride, she enjoys peace and pleasure.

793 : 2582
She surrenders her body and mind to Him, and does not remain separate from Him.

793 : 2583
She does not see or hear, or speak to another. ||1||

793 : 2584
How can anyone know the pain of another,

793 : 2585
if there is no compassion and sympathy within? ||1||Pause||

793 : 2586
The discarded bride is miserable, and loses both worlds;

793 : 2587
she does not worship her Husband Lord.

793 : 2588
The bridge over the fire of hell is difficult and treacherous.

793 : 2589
No one will accompany you there; you will have to go all alone. ||2||

793 : 2590
Suffering in pain, I have come to Your Door, O Compassionate Lord.

793 : 2591
I am so thirsty for You, but You do not answer me.

793 : 2592
Says Ravi Daas, I seek Your Sanctuary, God;

793 : 2593
as You know me, so will You save me. ||3||1||

793 : 2594
SOOHEE:

793 : 2595
That day which comes, that day shall go.

793 : 2596
You must march on; nothing remains stable.

793 : 2597
Our companions are leaving, and we must leave as well.

793 : 2598
We must go far away. Death is hovering over our heads. ||1||
