Raag siree raag•Guru Amardas ji•Ang 38,39

Siree Raag, Third Mehl: O Dear Lord, You are the Truest of the True. All things are in Your Power. The 8.4 million species of beings wander around searching for You, but without the Guru, they do not find You. When the Dear Lord grants His Forgiveness, this human body finds lasting peace. By Guru's Grace, I serve the True One, who is Immeasurably Deep and Profound. ||1|| O my mind, attuned to the Naam, you shall find peace. Follow the Guru's Teachings, and praise the Naam; there is no other at all. ||1|| Pause || The Righteous Judge of Dharma, by the Hukam of God's Command, sits and administers True Justice. Those evil souls, ensnared by the love of duality, are subject to Your Command. The souls on their spiritual journey chant and meditate within their minds on the One Lord, the Treasure of Excellence.The Righteous Judge of Dharma serves them; blessed is the Lord who adorns them. ||2|| One who eliminates mental wickedness from within the mind, and casts out emotional atta...

Siree Raag, Third Mehl: Whom shall I serve? What shall I chant? I will go and ask the Guru. I will accept the Will of the True Guru, and eradicate selfishness from within. By this work and service, the Naam shall come to dwell within my mind. Through the Naam, peace is obtained; I am adorned and embellished by the True Word of the Shabad. ||1|| O my mind, remain awake and aware night and day, and think of the Lord. Protect your crops, or else the birds shall descend on your farm. ||1|| Pause || The desires of the mind are fulfilled, when one is filled to overflowing with the Shabad. One who fears, loves, and is devoted to the Dear Lord day and night, sees Him always close at hand. Doubt runs far away from the bodies of those, whose minds remain forever attuned to the True Word of the Shabad. The Immaculate Lord and Master is found. He is True; He is the Ocean of Excellence. ||2|| Those who remain awake and aware are saved, while those who sleep are plundered. They do not recognize the ...

Raag Siree Raag•Guru Amardas ji•Ang 33,34

Siree Raag, Third Mehl: By His Grace, the Guru is found, and the Name of the Lord is implanted within. Without the Guru, no one has obtained it; they waste away their lives in vain. The self-willed manmukhs create karma, and in the Court of the Lord, they receive their punishment. ||1|| O mind, give up the love of duality. The Lord dwells within you; serving the Guru, you shall find peace. || Pause || When you love the Truth, your words are true; they reflect the True Word of the Shabad. The Name of the Lord dwells within the mind; egotism and anger are wiped away. Meditating on the Naam with a pure mind, the Door of Liberation is found. ||2|| Engrossed in egotism, the world perishes. It dies and is re-born; it continues coming and going in reincarnation. The self-willed manmukhs do not recognize the Shabad; they forfeit their honor, and depart in disgrace. Serving the Guru, the Name is obtained, and one remains absorbed in the True Lord. ||3|| With faith in the Shabad, the Guru is fou...

Raag Sriraag•Guru Nanak Dev ji•Ang 24

Siree Raag, First Mehl, Third House: Make good deeds the soil, and let the Word of the Shabad be the seed; irrigate it continually with the water of Truth.Become such a farmer, and faith will sprout. This brings knowledge of heaven and hell, you fool! ||1|| Do not think that your Husband Lord can be obtained by mere words.You are wasting this life in the pride of wealth and the splendor of beauty. ||1|| Pause || The defect of the body which leads to sin is the mud puddle, and this mind is the frog, which does not appreciate the lotus flower at all.The bumble bee is the teacher who continually teaches the lesson. But how can one understand, unless one is made to understand? ||2|| This speaking and listening is like the song of the wind, for those whose minds are colored by the love of Maya.The Grace of the Master is bestowed upon those who meditate on Him alone. They are pleasing to His Heart. ||3||   You may observe the thirty fasts, and say the five prayers each day, but 'Satan...
