Raag Raamkalee - Part 059

934 : 2601
I serve the One who gave me the Naam; I am a sacrifice to Him.

934 : 2602
He who builds, also demolishes; there is no other than Him.

934 : 2603
By Guru's Grace, I contemplate Him, and then my body does not suffer in pain. ||31||

934 : 2604
No one is mine - whose gown should I grasp and hold? No one ever was, and no one shall ever be mine.

934 : 2605
Coming and going, one is ruined, afflicted with the disease of dual-mindedness.

934 : 2606
Those beings who lack the Naam, the Name of the Lord, collapse like pillars of salt.

934 : 2607
Without the Name, how can they find release? They fall into hell in the end.

934 : 2608
Using a limited number of words, we describe the unlimited True Lord.

934 : 2609
The ignorant lack understanding. Without the Guru, there is no spiritual wisdom.

934 : 2610
The separated soul is like the broken string of a guitar, which does not vibrate its sound.

934 : 2611
God unites the separated souls with Himself, awakening their destiny. ||32||

934 : 2612
The body is the tree, and the mind is the bird; the birds in the tree are the five senses.

934 : 2613
They peck at the essence of reality, and merge with the One Lord. They are never trapped at all.

934 : 2614
But the others fly away in a hurry, when they see the food.

934 : 2615
Their feathers are clipped, and they are caught in the noose; through their mistakes, they are caught in disaster.

934 : 2616
Without the True Lord, how can anyone find release? The jewel of the Lord's Glorious Praises comes by the karma of good actions.

934 : 2617
When He Himself releases them, only then are they released. He Himself is the Great Master.

934 : 2618
By Guru's Grace, they are released, when He Himself grants His Grace.

934 : 2619
Glorious greatness rests in His Hands. He blesses those with whom He is pleased. ||33||

934 : 2620
The soul trembles and shakes, when it loses its mooring and support.

934 : 2621
Only the support of the True Lord brings honor and glory. Through it, one's works are never in vain.

934 : 2622
The Lord is eternal and forever stable; the Guru is stable, and contemplation upon the True Lord is stable.

934 : 2623
O Lord and Master of angels, men and Yogic masters, You are the support of the unsupported.

934 : 2624
In all places and interspaces, You are the Giver, the Great Giver.

934 : 2625
Wherever I look, there I see You, Lord; You have no end or limitation.

934 : 2626
You are pervading and permeating the places and interspaces; reflecting upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad, You are found.

934 : 2627
You give gifts even when they are not asked for; You are great, inaccessible and infinite. ||34||

934 : 2628
O Merciful Lord, You are the embodiment of mercy; creating the Creation, You behold it.

934 : 2629
Please shower Your Mercy upon me, O God, and unite me with Yourself. In an instant, You destroy and rebuild.

934 : 2630
You are all-wise and all-seeing; You are the Greatest Giver of all givers.

934 : 2631
He is the Eradicator of poverty, and the Destroyer of pain; the Gurmukh realizes spiritual wisdom and meditation. ||35||

934 : 2632
Losing his wealth, he cries out in anguish; the fool's consciousness is engrossed in wealth.

934 : 2633
How rare are those who gather the wealth of Truth, and love the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord.

934 : 2634
If by losing your wealth, you may become absorbed in the Love of the One Lord, then just let it go.

934 : 2635
Dedicate your mind, and surrender your head; seek only the Support of the Creator Lord.

934 : 2636
Worldly affairs and wanderings cease, when the mind is filled with the bliss of the Shabad.

934 : 2637
Even one's enemies become friends, meeting with the Guru, the Lord of the Universe.

934 : 2638
Wandering from forest to forest searching, you will find that those things are within the home of your own heart.

934 : 2639
United by the True Guru, you shall remain united, and the pains of birth and death will be ended. ||36||

934 : 2640
Through various rituals, one does not find release. Without virtue, one is sent to the City of Death.

934 : 2641
One will not have this world or the next; committing sinful mistakes, one comes to regret and repent in the end.
