Raag Maaroo - Part 085

1073 : 3649
The body-bride is blind, and the groom is clever and wise.

1073 : 3650
The creation was created of the five elements.

1073 : 3651
That merchandise, for which you have come into the world, is received only from the True Guru. ||6||

1073 : 3652
The body-bride says, "Please live with me,

1073 : 3653
O my beloved, peaceful, young lord.

1073 : 3654
Without you, I am of no account. Please give me your word, that you will not leave me". ||7||

1073 : 3655
The soul-husband says, "I am the slave of my Commander.

1073 : 3656
He is my Great Lord and Master, who is fearless and independent.

1073 : 3657
As long as He wills, I will remain with you. When He summons me, I shall arise and depart."||8||

1073 : 3658
The husband speaks words of Truth to the bride,

1073 : 3659
but the bride is restless and inexperienced, and she does not understand anything.

1073 : 3660
Again and again, she begs her husband to stay; she thinks that he is just joking when he answers her. ||9||

1073 : 3661
The Order comes, and the husband-soul is called.

1073 : 3662
He does not consult with his bride, and does not ask her opinion.

1073 : 3663
He gets up and marches off, and the discarded body-bride mingles with dust. O Nanak, behold the illusion of emotional attachment and hope. ||10||

1073 : 3664
O greedy mind - listen, O my mind!

1073 : 3665
Serve the True Guru day and night forever.

1073 : 3666
Without the True Guru, the faithless cynics rot away and die. The noose of Death is around the necks of those who have no guru. ||11||

1073 : 3667
The self-willed manmukh comes, and the self-willed manmukh goes.

1073 : 3668
The manmukh suffers beatings again and again.

1073 : 3669
The manmukh endures as many hells as there are; the Gurmukh is not even touched by them. ||12||

1073 : 3670
He alone is Gurmukh, who is pleasing to the Dear Lord.

1073 : 3671
Who can destroy anyone who is robed in honor by the Lord?

1073 : 3672
The blissful one is forever in bliss; he is dressed in robes of honor. ||13||

1073 : 3673
I am a sacrifice to the Perfect True Guru.

1073 : 3674
He is the Giver of Sanctuary, the Heroic Warrior who keeps His Word.

1073 : 3675
Such is the Lord God, the Giver of peace, whom I have met; He shall never leave me or go anywhere else. ||14||

1073 : 3676
He is the treasure of virtue; His value cannot be estimated.

1073 : 3677
He is perfectly permeating each and every heart, prevailing everywhere.

1073 : 3678
Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of the pains of the poor; I am the dust of the feet of Your slaves. ||15||1||2||

1073 : 3679
Maaroo, Solahas, Fifth Mehl:

1073 : 3680
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1073 : 3681
My Blissful Lord is forever in bliss.

1073 : 3682
He fills each and every heart, and judges each and everyone.

1073 : 3683
The True Lord and Master is above the heads of all kings; there is none other than Him. ||1||

1073 : 3684
He is joyful, blissful and merciful.

1073 : 3685
God's Light is manifest everywhere.

1073 : 3686
He creates forms, and gazing upon them, He enjoys them; He Himself worships Himself. ||2||

1073 : 3687
He contemplates His own creative power.

1073 : 3688
The True Lord Himself creates the expanse of the Universe.

1073 : 3689
He Himself stages the play, day and night; He Himself listens, and hearing, rejoices. ||3||

1073 : 3690
True is His throne, and True is His kingdom.

1073 : 3691
True is the treasure of the True Banker.
