Raag Raamkalee - Part 072

947 : 3182
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

947 : 3183
Vaar Of Raamkalee, Third Mehl,

947 : 3184
To Be Sung To The Tune Of 'Jodha And Veera Poorbaanee':

947 : 3185
Shalok, Third Mehl:

947 : 3186
The True Guru is the field of intuitive wisdom. One who is inspired to love Him,

947 : 3187
plants the seed of the Name there. The Name sprouts up, and he remains absorbed in the Name.

947 : 3188
But this egotism is the seed of skepticism; it has been uprooted.

947 : 3189
It is not planted there, and it does not sprout; whatever God grants us, we eat.

947 : 3190
When water mixes with water, it cannot be separated again.

947 : 3191
O Nanak, the Gurmukh is wonderful; come, poeple, and see!

947 : 3192
But what can the poor people see? They do not understand.

947 : 3193
He alone sees, whom the Lord causes to see; the Lord comes to dwell in his mind. ||1||

947 : 3194
Third Mehl:

947 : 3195
The self-willed manmukh is the field of sorrow and suffering. He plains sorrow, and eats sorrow.

947 : 3196
In sorrow he is born, and in sorrow he dies. Acting in egotism, his life passes away.

947 : 3197
He does not understand the coming and going of reincarnation; the blind man acts in blindness.

947 : 3198
He does not know the One who gives, but he is attached to what is given.

947 : 3199
O Nanak, he acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. He cannot do anything else. ||2||

947 : 3200
Third Mehl:

947 : 3201
Meeting the True Guru, everlasting peace is obtained. He Himself leads us to meet Him.

947 : 3202
This is the true meaning of peace, that one becomes immaculate within oneself.

947 : 3203
The doubt of ignorance is eradicated, and spiritual wisdom is obtained.

947 : 3204
Nanak comes to gaze upon the One Lord alone; wherever he looks, there He is. ||3||

947 : 3205
Pauree:

947 : 3206
The True Lord created His throne, upon which He sits.

947 : 3207
He Himself is everything; this is what the Word of the Guru's Shabad says.

947 : 3208
Through His almighty creative power, He created and fashioned the mansions and hotels.

947 : 3209
He made the two lamps, the sun and the moon; He formed the perfect form.

947 : 3210
He Himself sees, and He Himself hears; meditate on the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

947 : 3211
Waaho! Waaho! Hail, hail, O True King! True is Your Name. ||1||Pause||

947 : 3212
Shalok:

947 : 3213
Kabeer, I have ground myself into henna paste.

947 : 3214
O my Husband Lord, You took no notice of me; You never applied me to Your feet. ||1||

947 : 3215
Third Mehl:

947 : 3216
O Nanak, my Husband Lord keeps me like henna paste; He blesses me with His Glance of Grace.

947 : 3217
He Himself grinds me, and He Himself rubs me; He Himself applies me to His feet.

947 : 3218
This is the cup of love of my Lord and Master; He gives it as He chooses. ||2||

947 : 3219
Pauree:

947 : 3220
You created the world with its variety; by the Hukam of Your Command, it comes, goes, and merges again in You.

947 : 3221
You Yourself see, and blossom forth; there is no one else at all.

947 : 3222
As it pleases You, You keep me. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I understand You.

947 : 3223
You are the strength of all. As it pleases You, You lead us on.

947 : 3224
There is no other as great as You; unto whom should I speak and talk? ||2||

947 : 3225
Shalok, Third Mehl:

947 : 3226
Deluded by doubt, I wandered over the whole world. Searching, I became frustrated.
