Completing all religious rituals,

restraining sexual passion by the spiritual wisdom given by the Guru,

and performing the six rituals;||3||

Expounding on Shiva and Shakti

- O man, renounce and abandon all these things.

Meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe.

Meditate, O Naam Dayv, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||1||

GOND:

The deer is lured by the sound of the hunter's bell;

it loses its life, but it cannot stop thinking about it. ||1||

In the same way, I look upon my Lord.

I will not abandon my Lord, and turn my thoughts to another. ||1||Pause||

As the fisherman looks upon the fish,

and the goldsmith looks upon the gold he fashions;||2||

As the man driven by sex looks upon another man's wife,

and the gambler looks upon the throwing of the dice -||3||

In the same way, wherever Naam Dayv looks, he sees the Lord.

Naam Dayv meditates continuously on the Feet of the Lord. ||4||2||

GOND:

Carry me across, O Lord, carry me across.

I am ignorant, and I do not know how to swim. O my Beloved Father, please give me Your arm. ||1||Pause||

I have been transformed from a mortal being into an angel, in an instant; the True Guru has taught me this.

Born of human flesh, I have conquered the heavens; such is the medicine I was given. ||1||

Please place me where You placed Dhroo and Naarad, O my Master.

With the Support of Your Name, so many have been saved; this is Naam Dayv's understanding. ||2||3||

Section 21 - Raag Gond - Part 016

GOND:

I am restless and unhappy.

Without her calf, the cow is lonely. ||1||

Without water, the fish writhes in pain.

So is poor Naam Dayv without the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

Like the cow's calf, which, when let loose,

sucks at her udders and drinks her milk -||2||

So has Naam Dayv found the Lord.

Meeting the Guru, I have seen the Unseen Lord. ||3||

As the man driven by sex wants another man's wife,

so does Naam Dayv love the Lord. ||4||

As the earth burns in the dazzling sunlight,

so does poor Naam Dayv burn without the Lord's Name. ||5||4||

Raag Gond, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:

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

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, all doubts are dispelled.

Chanting the Name of the Lord is the highest religion.

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, erases social classes and ancestral pedigrees.

The Lord is the walking stick of the blind. ||1||

I bow to the Lord, I humbly bow to the Lord.

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, you will not be tormented by the Messenger of Death. ||1||Pause||

The Lord took the life of Harnaakhash,
