Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gond

Mukanday is the wealth of the poor and forlorn. ||2||

When the One Liberator does me a favor,

then what can the world do to me?

Erasing my social status, I have entered His Court.

You, Mukanday, are potent throughout the four ages. ||3||

Spiritual wisdom has welled up, and I have been enlightened.

In His Mercy, the Lord has made this worm His slave.

Says Ravi Daas, now my thirst is quenched;

I meditate on Mukanday the Liberator, and I serve Him. ||4||1||

GOND:

Someone may bathe at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage,

and worship the twelve Shiva-lingam stones,

and dig wells and pools,

but if he indulges in slander, then all of this is useless. ||1||

How can the slanderer of the Holy Saints be saved?

Know for certain, that he shall go to hell. ||1||Pause||

Someone may bathe at Kuruk-shaytra during a solar eclipse,

and give his decorated wife in offering,

and listen to all the Simritees,

but if he indulges in slander, these are of no account. ||2||

Someone may give countless feasts,

and donate land, and build splendid buildings;

he may neglect his own affairs to work for others,

but if he indulges in slander, he shall wander in countless incarnations. ||3||

Why do you indulge in slander, O people of the world?

The emptiness of the slanderer is soon exposed.

I have thought, and determined the fate of the slanderer.

Says Ravi Daas, he is a sinner; he shall go to hell. ||4||2||11||7||2||49|| Total||
