Raag Prabhaatee - Part 025

1351 : 1026
He Himself is the Commander; all are under His Command. The Fearless Lord looks on all alike. ||3||

1351 : 1027
That humble being who knows, and meditates on the Supreme Primal Being - his word becomes eternal.

1351 : 1028
Says Naam Dayv, I have found the Invisible, Wondrous Lord, the Life of the World, within my heart. ||4||1||

1351 : 1029
PRABHAATEE:

1351 : 1030
He existed in the beginning, in the primeval age, and all throughout the ages; His limits cannot be known.

1351 : 1031
The Lord is pervading and permeating amongst all; this is how His Form can be described. ||1||

1351 : 1032
The Lord of the Universe appears when the Word of His Shabad is chanted.

1351 : 1033
My Lord is the Embodiment of Bliss. ||1||Pause||

1351 : 1034
The beautiful fragrance of sandalwood emanates from the sandalwood tree, and attaches to the other trees of the forest.

1351 : 1035
God, the Primal Source of everything, is like the sandalwood tree; He transforms us woody trees into fragrant sandalwood. ||2||

1351 : 1036
You, O Lord, are the Philosopher's Stone, and I am iron; associating with You, I am transformed into gold.

1351 : 1037
You are Merciful; You are the gem and the jewel. Naam Dayv is absorbed in the Truth. ||3||2||

1351 : 1038
PRABHAATEE:

1351 : 1039
The Primal Being has no ancestry; He has staged this play.

1351 : 1040
God is hidden deep within each and every heart. ||1||

1351 : 1041
No one knows the Light of the soul.

1351 : 1042
Whatever I do, is known to You, Lord. ||1||Pause||

1351 : 1043
Just as the pitcher is made from clay,

1351 : 1044
everything is made from the Beloved Divine Creator Himself. ||2||

1351 : 1045
The mortal's actions hold the soul in the bondage of karma.

1351 : 1046
Whatever he does, he does on his own. ||3||

1351 : 1047
Prays Naam Dayv, whatever this soul wants, it obtains.

1351 : 1048
Whoever abides in the Lord, becomes immortal. ||4||3||

1351 : 1049
Prabhaatee, The Word Of Devotee Baynee Jee:

Continued...

1351 : 1050
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1351 : 1051
You rub your body with sandalwood oil, and place basil leaves on your forehead.

1351 : 1052
But you hold a knife in the hand of your heart.

1351 : 1053
You look like a thug; pretending to meditate, you pose like a crane.

1351 : 1054
You try to look like a Vaishnaav, but the breath of life escapes through your mouth. ||1||

1351 : 1055
You pray for hours to God the Beautiful.

1351 : 1056
But your gaze is evil, and your nights are wasted in conflict. ||1||Pause||

1351 : 1057
You perform daily cleansing rituals,

1351 : 1058
wear two loin-cloths, perform religious rituals and put only milk in your mouth.

1351 : 1059
But in your heart, you have drawn out the sword.

1351 : 1060
You routinely steal the property of others. ||2||

1351 : 1061
You worship the stone idol, and paint ceremonial marks of Ganesha.

1351 : 1062
You remain awake throughout the night, pretending to worship God.

1351 : 1063
You dance, but your consciousness is filled with evil.

1351 : 1064
You are lewd and depraved - this is such an unrighteous dance! ||3||

1351 : 1065
You sit on a deer-skin, and chant on your mala.

1351 : 1066
You put the sacred mark, the tilak, on your forehead.

1351 : 1067
You wear the rosary beads of Shiva around your neck, but your heart is filled with falsehood.

1351 : 1068
You are lewd and depraved - you do not chant God's Name. ||4||

1351 : 1069
Whoever does not realize the essence of the soul

1351 : 1070
- all his religious actions are hollow and false.

1351 : 1071
Says Baynee, as Gurmukh, meditate.

1351 : 1072
Without the True Guru, you shall not find the Way. ||5||1||
