Raag Bhairao - Part 040

1164 : 1916
Thus did Naam Dayv come to receive the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||3||

1164 : 1917
I am crazy - the Lord is my Husband.

1164 : 1918
I decorate and adorn myself for Him. ||1||

1164 : 1919
Slander me well, slander me well, slander me well, O people.

1164 : 1920
My body and mind are united with my Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||

1164 : 1921
Do not engage in any arguments or debates with anyone.

1164 : 1922
With your tongue, savor the Lord's sublime essence. ||2||

1164 : 1923
Now, I know within my soul, that such an arrangement has been made;

1164 : 1924
I will meet with my Lord by the beat of the drum. ||3||

1164 : 1925
Anyone can praise or slander me.

1164 : 1926
Naam Dayv has met the Lord. ||4||4||

1164 : 1927
Sometimes, people do not appreciate milk, sugar and ghee.

1164 : 1928
Sometimes, they have to beg for bread from door to door.

1164 : 1929
Sometimes, they have to pick out the grain from the chaff. ||1||

1164 : 1930
As the Lord keeps us, so do we live, O Siblings of Destiny.

1164 : 1931
The Lord's Glory cannot even be described. ||1||Pause||

1164 : 1932
Sometimes, people prance around on horses.

1164 : 1933
Sometimes, they do not even have shoes for their feet. ||2||

1164 : 1934
Sometimes, people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.

1164 : 1935
Sometimes, they do not even have straw to put down on the ground. ||3||

1164 : 1936
Naam Dayv prays, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, can save us.

1164 : 1937
One who meets the Guru, is carried across to the other side. ||4||5||

1164 : 1938
Laughing and playing, I came to Your Temple, O Lord.

1164 : 1939
While Naam Dayv was worshipping, he was grabbed and driven out. ||1||

1164 : 1940
I am of a low social class, O Lord;

1164 : 1941
why was I born into a family of fabric dyers? ||1||Pause||

Continued...

1164 : 1942
I picked up my blanket and went back,

1164 : 1943
to sit behind the temple. ||2||

1164 : 1944
As Naam Dayv uttered the Glorious Praises of the Lord,

1164 : 1945
the temple turned around to face the Lord's humble devotee. ||3||6||

1164 : 1946
Bhairao, Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:

1164 : 1947
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1164 : 1948
As the hungry person loves food,

1164 : 1949
and the thirsty person is obsessed with water,

1164 : 1950
and as the fool is attached to his family

1164 : 1951
- just so, the Lord is very dear to Naam Dayv. ||1||

1164 : 1952
Naam Dayv is in love with the Lord.

1164 : 1953
He has naturally and intuitively become detached from the world. ||1||Pause||

1164 : 1954
Like the woman who falls in love with another man,

1164 : 1955
and the greedy man who loves only wealth,

1164 : 1956
and the sexually promiscuous man who loves women and sex,

1164 : 1957
just so, Naam Dayv is in love with the Lord. ||2||

1164 : 1958
But that alone is real love, which the Lord Himself inspires;

1164 : 1959
by Guru's Grace, duality is eradicated.

1164 : 1960
Such love never breaks; through it, the mortal remains merged in the Lord.

1164 : 1961
Naam Dayv has focused his consciousness on the True Name. ||3||

1164 : 1962
Like the love between the child and its mother,

1164 : 1963
so is my mind imbued with the Lord.

1164 : 1964
Prays Naam Dayv, I am in love with the Lord.

1164 : 1965
The Lord of the Universe abides within my consciousness. ||4||1||7||

1164 : 1966
The blind fool abandons the wife of his own home,
