Raag Maaroo - Part 078

1066 : 3337
Maaroo, Third Mehl:

1066 : 3338
The Formless Lord created the universe of form.

1066 : 3339
By the Hukam of His Command, He created attachment to Maya.

1066 : 3340
The Creator Himself stages all the plays; hearing of the True Lord, enshrine Him in your mind. ||1||

1066 : 3341
Maya, the mother, gave birth to the three gunas, the three qualities,

1066 : 3342
and proclaimed the four Vedas to Brahma.

1066 : 3343
Creating the years, months, days and dates, He infused intelligence into the world. ||2||

1066 : 3344
Service to the Guru is the most excellent action.

1066 : 3345
Enshrine the Lord's Name within your heart.

1066 : 3346
The Word of the Guru's Bani prevails throughout the world; through this Bani, the Lord's Name is obtained. ||3||

1066 : 3347
He reads the Vedas, but he starts arguments night and day.

1066 : 3348
He does not remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord; he is bound and gagged by the Messenger of Death.

1066 : 3349
In the love of duality, he suffers in pain forever; he is deluded by doubt, and confused by the three gunas. ||4||

1066 : 3350
The Gurmukh is in love with the One Lord alone;

1066 : 3351
he submerges in his mind the three-phased desire.

1066 : 3352
Through the True Word of the Shabad, he is liberated forever; he renounces emotional attachment to Maya. ||5||

1066 : 3353
Those who are so pre-ordained to be imbued, are imbued with love for the Lord.

1066 : 3354
By Guru's Grace, they are intuitively intoxicated.

1066 : 3355
Serving the True Guru forever, they find God; He Himself unites them with Himself. ||6||

1066 : 3356
In attachment to Maya and doubt, the Lord is not found.

1066 : 3357
Attached to the love of duality, one suffers in pain.

1066 : 3358
The crimson color lasts for only a few days; all too soon, it fades away. ||7||

1066 : 3359
So color this mind in the Fear and the Love of God.

Continued...

1066 : 3360
Dyed in this color, one merges in the True Lord.

1066 : 3361
By perfect destiny, some may obtain this color. Through the Guru's Teachings, this color is applied. ||8||

1066 : 3362
The self-willed manmukhs take great pride in themselves.

1066 : 3363
In the Court of the Lord, they are never honored.

1066 : 3364
Attached to duality, they waste their lives; without understanding, they suffer in pain. ||9||

1066 : 3365
My God has hidden Himself deep within the self.

1066 : 3366
By Guru's Grace, one is united in the Lord's Union.

1066 : 3367
God is True, and True is His trade, through which the priceless Naam is obtained. ||10||

1066 : 3368
No one has found this body's value.

1066 : 3369
My Lord and Master has worked His handiwork.

1066 : 3370
One who becomes Gurmukh purifies his body, and then the Lord unites him with Himself. ||11||

1066 : 3371
Within the body, one loses, and within the body, one wins.

1066 : 3372
The Gurmukh seeks the self-sustaining Lord.

1066 : 3373
The Gurmukh trades, and finds peace forever; he intuitively merges in the Celestial Lord. ||12||

1066 : 3374
True is the Lord's Mansion, and True is His treasure.

1066 : 3375
The Great Giver Himself gives.

1066 : 3376
The Gurmukh praises the Giver of peace; his mind is united with the Lord, and he comes to know His worth. ||13||

1066 : 3377
Within the body is the object; its value cannot be estimated.

1066 : 3378
He Himself grants glorious greatness to the Gurmukh.

1066 : 3379
He alone knows this object, to whom this store belongs; the Gurmukh is blessed with it, and does not come to regret. ||14||

1066 : 3380
The Dear Lord is pervading and permeating all.

1066 : 3381
By Guru's Grace, He is found.

1066 : 3382
He Himself unites in His Union; through the Word of the Shabad, one intuitively merges with Him. ||15||
