Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

Those who lack the Naam, wander in shame; their noses are chopped off, bit by bit. ||3||

O Life of the World, rejuvenate me! O my Lord and Master, enshrine Your Name deep within my heart.

O Nanak, perfect is the Guru, the Guru. Meeting the True Guru, I meditate on the Naam. ||4||5||

Raamkalee, Fourth Mehl:

The True Guru, the Great Giver, is the Great, Primal Being; meeting Him, the Lord is enshrined within the heart.

The Perfect Guru has granted me the life of the soul; I meditate in remembrance on the Ambrosial Name of the Lord. ||1||

O Lord, the Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, within my heart.

As Gurmukh, I have heard His sermon, which pleases my mind; blessed, blessed is my great destiny. ||1||Pause||

Millions, three hundred thirty millions of gods meditate on Him, but they cannot find His end or limitation.

With sexual urges in their hearts, they beg for beautiful women; stretching out their hands, they beg for riches. ||2||

One who chants the Praises of the Lord is the greatest of the great; the Gurmukh keeps the Lord clasped to his heart.

If one is blessed with high destiny, he meditates on the Lord, who carries him across the terrifying world-ocean. ||3||

The Lord is close to His humble servant, and His humble servant is close to the Lord; He keeps His humble servant clasped to His Heart.

O Nanak, the Lord God is our father and mother. I am His child; the Lord cherishes me. ||4||6||18||

Raag Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl, First House:

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

Have mercy on me, O Generous Giver, Lord of the meek; please do not consider my merits and demerits.

How can dust be washed? O my Lord and Master, such is the state of mankind. ||1||

O my mind, serve the True Guru, and be at peace.

Whatever you desire, you shall receive that reward, and you shall not be afflicted by pain any longer. ||1||Pause||

He creates and adorns the earthen vessels; He infuses His Light within them.

As is the destiny pre-ordained by the Creator, so are the deeds we do. ||2||

He believes the mind and body are all his own; this is the cause of his coming and going.

He does not think of the One who gave him these; he is blind, entangled in emotional attachment. ||3||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 008

One who knows that God created him, reaches the Incomparable Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

Worshipping the Lord, I sing His Glorious Praises. Nanak is Your slave. ||4||1||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Place yourself beneath all men's feet, and you will be uplifted; serve Him in this way.

Know that all are above you, and you shall find peace in the Court of the Lord. ||1||
