Raag Raamkalee - Part 009

884 : 307
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

884 : 308
God has made me His own, and vanquished all my enemies.

884 : 309
Those enemies who have plundered this world, have all been placed in bondage. ||1||

884 : 310
The True Guru is my Transcendent Lord.

884 : 311
I enjoy countless pleasures of power and tasty delights, chanting Your Name, and placing my faith in You. ||1||Pause||

884 : 312
I do not think of any other at all. The Lord is my protector, above my head.

884 : 313
I am carefree and independent, when I have the Support of Your Name, O my Lord and Master. ||2||

884 : 314
I have become perfect, meeting with the Giver of peace, and now, I lack nothing at all.

884 : 315
I have obtained the essence of excellence, the supreme status; I shall not forsake it to go anywhere else. ||3||

884 : 316
I cannot describe how You are, O True Lord, unseen, infinite,

884 : 317
immeasurable, unfathomable and unmoving Lord. O Nanak, He is my Lord and Master. ||4||5||

884 : 318
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

884 : 319
You are wise; You are eternal and unchanging. You are my social class and honor.

884 : 320
You are unmoving - You never move at all. How can I be worried? ||1||

884 : 321
You alone are the One and only Lord;

884 : 322
You alone are the king.

884 : 323
By Your Grace, I have found peace. ||1||Pause||

884 : 324
You are the ocean, and I am Your swan; the pearls and rubies are in You.

884 : 325
You give, and You do not hesitate for an instant; I receive, forever enraptured. ||2||

Continued...

884 : 326
I am Your child, and You are my father; You place the milk in my mouth.

884 : 327
I play with You, and You caress me in every way. You are forever the ocean of excellence. ||3||

884 : 328
You are perfect, perfectly all-pervading; I am fulfilled with You as well.

884 : 329
I am merged, merged, merged and remain merged; O Nanak, I cannot describe it! ||4||6||

884 : 330
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

884 : 331
Make your hands the cymbals, your eyes the tambourines, and your forehead the guitar you play.

884 : 332
Let the sweet flute music resound in your ears, and with your tongue, vibrate this song.

884 : 333
Move your mind like the rhythmic hand-motions; do the dance, and shake your ankle bracelets. ||1||

884 : 334
This is the rhythmic dance of the Lord.

884 : 335
The Merciful Audience, the Lord, sees all your make-up and decorations. ||1||Pause||

884 : 336
The whole earth is the stage, with the canopy of the sky overhead.

884 : 337
The wind is the director; people are born of water.

884 : 338
From the five elements, the puppet was created with its actions. ||2||

884 : 339
The sun and the moon are the two lamps which shine, with the four corners of the world placed between them.

884 : 340
The ten senses are the dancing girls, and the five passions are the chorus; they sit together within the one body.

884 : 341
They all put on their own shows, and speak in different languages. ||3||

884 : 342
In each and every home there is dancing, day and night; in each and every home, the bugles blow.

884 : 343
Some are made to dance, and some are whirled around; some come and some go, and some are reduced to dust.

884 : 344
Says Nanak, one who meets with the True Guru, does not have to dance the dance of reincarnation again. ||4||7||
