Raag Saarang - Part 057

1253 : 2178
If, at any time, he grabs and binds me, even then, I cannot protest. ||1||

1253 : 2179
I am bound by virtue; I am the Life of all. My slaves are my very life.

1253 : 2180
Says Naam Dayv, as is the quality of his soul, so is my love which illuminates him. ||2||3||

1253 : 2181
Saarang:

1253 : 2182
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1253 : 2183
So what have you accomplished by listening to the Puraanas?

1253 : 2184
Faithful devotion has not welled up within you, and you have not been inspired to give to the hungry. ||1||Pause||

1253 : 2185
You have not forgotten sexual desire, and you have not forgotten anger; greed has not left you either.

1253 : 2186
Your mouth has not stopped slandering and gossiping about others. Your service is useless and fruitless. ||1||

1253 : 2187
By breaking into the houses of others and robbing them, you fill your belly, you sinner.

1253 : 2188
But when you go to the world beyond, your guilt will be well known, by the acts of ignorance which you committed. ||2||

1253 : 2189
Cruelty has not left your mind; you have not cherished kindness for other living beings.

1253 : 2190
Parmaanand has joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Why have you not followed the sacred teachings? ||3||1||6||

1253 : 2191
O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord.

1253 : 2192
Saarang, Fifth Mehl, Sur Daas:

1253 : 2193
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1253 : 2194
The people of the Lord dwell with the Lord.

1253 : 2195
They dedicate their minds and bodies to Him; they dedicate everything to Him. They are intoxicated with the celestial melody of intuitive ecstasy. ||1||Pause||

1253 : 2196
Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, they are cleansed of corruption. They obtain absolutely everything.

1253 : 2197
They have nothing to do with anything else; they gaze on the beauteous Face of God. ||1||

1253 : 2198
But one who forsakes the elegantly beautiful Lord, and harbors desire for anything else, is like a leech on the body of a leper.

1253 : 2199
Says Sur Daas, God has taken my mind in His Hands. He has blessed me with the world beyond. ||2||1||8||

1253 : 2200
Saarang, Kabeer Jee:

1253 : 2201
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1253 : 2202
Other than the Lord, who is the Help and Support of the mind?

1253 : 2203
Love and attachment to mother, father, sibling, child and spouse, is all just an illusion. ||1||Pause||

1253 : 2204
So build a raft to the world hereafter; what faith do you place in wealth?

1253 : 2205
What confidence do you place in this fragile vessel; it breaks with the slightest stroke. ||1||

1253 : 2206
You shall obtain the rewards of all righteousness and goodness, if you desire to be the dust of all.

1253 : 2207
Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints: this mind is like the bird, flying above the forest. ||2||1||9||
