How rare are those who contemplate this spiritual wisdom.

879 : 122
Through this, the supreme state of liberation is attained. ||1||Pause||

879 : 123
The night is in the day, and the day is in the night. The same is true of hot and cold.

879 : 124
No one else knows His state and extent; without the Guru, this is not understood. ||2||

879 : 125
The female is in the male, and the male is in the female. Understand this, O God-realized being!

879 : 126
The meditation is in the music, and knowledge is in meditation. Become Gurmukh, and speak the Unspoken Speech. ||3||

879 : 127
The Light is in the mind, and the mind is in the Light. The Guru brings the five senses together, like brothers.

Nanak is forever a sacrifice to those who enshrine love for the One Word of the Shabad. ||4||9||

879 : 129
Raamkalee, First Mehl:

879 : 130
When the Lord God showered His Mercy,

879 : 131
egotism was eradicated from within me.

879 : 132
That humble servant who contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad, is very dear to the Lord. ||1||

879 : 133
That humble servant of the Lord is pleasing to his Lord God;

879 : 134
day and night, he performs devotional worship, day and night. Disregarding his own honor, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

879 : 135
The unstruck melody of the sound current resonates and resounds;

879 : 136
my mind is appeased by the subtle essence of the Lord.

879 : 137
Through the Perfect Guru, I am absorbed in Truth.

879 : 138
Through the Guru, I have found the Lord, the Primal Being. ||2||

879 : 139
Gurbani is the sound current of the Naad, the Vedas, everything.

879 : 140
My mind is attuned to the Lord of the Universe.

879 : 141
He is my sacred shrine of pilgrimage, fasting and austere self-discipline.

879 : 142
The Lord saves, and carries across, those who meet with the Guru. ||3||

879 : 143
One whose self-conceit is gone, sees his fears run away.

Continued...

879 : 144
That servant grasps the Guru's feet.

879 : 145
The Guru, the True Guru, has expelled my doubts.

879 : 146
Says Nanak, I have merged into the Word of the Shabad. ||4||10||

879 : 147
Raamkalee, First Mehl:

879 : 148
He runs around, begging for clothes and food.

879 : 149
He burns with hunger and corruption, and will suffer in the world hereafter.

879 : 150
He does not follow the Guru's Teachings; through his evil-mindedness, he loses his honor.

879 : 151
Only through the Guru's Teachings will such a person become devoted. ||1||

879 : 152
The way of the Yogi is to dwell in the celestial home of bliss.

879 : 153
He looks impartially, equally upon all. He receives the charity of the Lord's Love, and the Word of the Shabad, and so he is satisfied. ||1||Pause||

879 : 154
The five bulls, the senses, pull the wagon of the body around.

879 : 155
By the Lord's power, one's honor is preserved.

879 : 156
But when the axle breaks, the wagon falls and crashes.

879 : 157
It falls apart, like a pile of logs. ||2||

879 : 158
Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad, Yogi.

879 : 159
Look upon pain and pleasure as one and the same, sorrow and separation.

879 : 160
Let your food be contemplative meditation upon the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

879 : 161
Your wall shall be permanent, by meditating on the Formless Lord. ||3||

879 : 162
Wear the loin-cloth of poise, and be free of entanglements.

879 : 163
The Guru's Word shall release you from sexual desire and anger.

879 : 164
In your mind, let your ear-rings be the Sanctuary of the Guru, the Lord.

879 : 165
O Nanak, worshipping the Lord in deep devotion, the humble are carried across. ||4||11||
