Raag Raamkalee - Part 027

902 : 1291
At the very last moment, Ajaamal became aware of the Lord;

902 : 1292
that state which even the supreme Yogis desire - he attained that state in an instant. ||2||

902 : 1293
The elephant had no virtue and no knowledge; what religious rituals has he performed?

902 : 1294
O Nanak, behold the way of the Lord, who bestowed the gift of fearlessness. ||3||1||

902 : 1295
Raamkalee, Ninth Mehl:

902 : 1296
Holy people: what way should I now adopt,

902 : 1297
by which all evil-mindedness may be dispelled, and the mind may vibrate in devotional worship to the Lord? ||1||Pause||

902 : 1298
My mind is entangled in Maya; it knows nothing at all of spiritual wisdom.

902 : 1299
What is that Name, by which the world, contemplating it, might attain the state of Nirvaanaa? ||1||

902 : 1300
When the Saints became kind and compassionate, they told me this.

902 : 1301
Understand, that whoever sings the Kirtan of God's Praises, has performed all religious rituals. ||2||

902 : 1302
One who enshrines the Lord's Name in his heart night and day - even for an instant

902 : 1303
- has his fear of Death eradicated. O Nanak, his life is approved and fulfilled. ||3||2||

902 : 1304
Raamkalee, Ninth Mehl:

902 : 1305
O mortal, focus your thoughts on the Lord.

902 : 1306
Moment by moment, your life is running out; night and day, your body is passing away in vain. ||1||Pause||

902 : 1307
You have wasted your youth in corrupt pleasures, and your childhood in ignorance.

Continued...

902 : 1308
You have grown old, and even now, you do not understand, the evil-mindedness in which you are entangled. ||1||

902 : 1309
Why have you forgotten your Lord and Master, who blessed you with this human life?

902 : 1310
Remembering Him in meditation, one is liberated. And yet, you do not sing His Praises, even for an instant. ||2||

902 : 1311
Why are you intoxicated with Maya? It will not go along with you.

902 : 1312
Says Nanak, think of Him, remember Him in your mind. He is the Fulfiller of desires, who will be your help and support in the end. ||3||3||81||

902 : 1313
Raamkalee, First Mehl, Ashtapadees:

902 : 1314
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

902 : 1315
The same moon rises, and the same stars; the same sun shines in the sky.

902 : 1316
The earth is the same, and the same wind blows. The age in which we dwell affects living beings, but not these places. ||1||

902 : 1317
Give up your attachment to life.

902 : 1318
Those who act like tyrants are accepted and approved - recognize that this is the sign of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||1||Pause||

902 : 1319
Kali Yuga has not been heard to have come to any country, or to be sitting at any sacred shrine.

902 : 1320
It is not where the generous person gives to charities, nor seated in the mansion he has built. ||2||

902 : 1321
If someone practices Truth, he is frustrated; prosperity does not come to the home of the sincere.

902 : 1322
If someone chants the Lord's Name, he is scorned. These are the signs of Kali Yuga. ||3||

902 : 1323
Whoever is in charge, is humiliated. Why should the servant be afraid,

902 : 1324
when the master is put in chains? He dies at the hands of his servant. ||4||
