Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

In this age, the devotee earns the wealth of the Lord; all the rest of the world wanders deluded in doubt.

By Guru's Grace, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell in his mind; night and day, he meditates on the Naam.

In the midst of corruption, he remains detached; through the Word of the Shabad, he burns away his ego.

He crosses over, and saves his relatives as well; blessed is the mother who gave birth to him.

Peace and poise fill his mind forever, and he embraces love for the True Lord.

Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva wander in the three qualities, while their egotism and desire increase.

The Pandits, the religious scholars and the silent sages read and debate in confusion; their consciousness is centered on the love of duality.

The Yogis, wandering pilgrims and Sanyaasees are deluded; without the Guru, they do not find the essence of reality.

The miserable self-willed manmukhs are forever deluded by doubt; they waste away their lives uselessly.

O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam are balanced and poised; forgiving them, the Lord blends them with Himself. ||1||

Third Mehl:

O Nanak, praise Him, who has control over everything.

Remember Him, O mortals - without Him, there is no other at all.

He dwells deep within those who are Gurmukh; forever and ever, they are at peace. ||2||

Pauree:

Those who do not become Gurmukh and earn the wealth of the Lord's Name, are bankrupt in this age.

They wander around begging all over the world, but no one even spits in their faces.

They gossip about others, and lose their credit, and expose themselves as well.

That wealth, for which they slander others, does not come into their hands, no matter where they go.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 059

Through loving service, the Gurmukhs receive the wealth of the Naam, but the unfortunate ones cannot receive it. This wealth is not found anywhere else, in this country or in any other. ||8||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

The Gurmukh does not have an iota of skepticism or doubt; worries depart from within him.

Whatever he does, he does with grace and poise. Nothing else can be said about him.

O Nanak, the Lord Himself hears the speech of those whom He makes His own. ||1||

Third Mehl:

He conquers death, and subdues the desires of his mind; the Immaculate Name abides deep within him.

Night and day, he remains awake and aware; he never sleeps, and he intuitively drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar.

His speech is sweet, and his words are nectar; night and day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

He dwells in the home of his own self, and appears beautiful forever; meeting him, Nanak finds peace. ||2||

Pauree:

The wealth of the Lord is a jewel, a gem; the Guru has caused the Lord to grant that wealth of the Lord.
