Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

O Yogi, why are you so proud? ||1||

Meditate on your Lord Master, day and night.

The patched coat of the body shall last for only a few days. ||1||Pause||

Smearing ashes on your body, you sit in a deep meditative trance.

You wear the ear-rings of 'mine and yours'.

You beg for bread, but you are not satisfied.

Abandoning your Lord Master, you beg from others; you should feel ashamed. ||2||

Your consciousness is restless, Yogi, as you sit in your Yogic postures.

You blow your horn, but still feel sad.

You do not understand Gorakh, your guru.

Again and again, Yogi, you come and go. ||3||

He, unto whom the Master shows Mercy

- unto Him, the Guru, the Lord of the World, I offer my prayer.

One who has the Name as his patched coat, and the Name as his robe,

O servant Nanak, such a Yogi is steady and stable. ||4||

One who meditates on the Master in this way, night and day,

finds the Guru, the Lord of the World, in this life. ||1||Second Pause||2||13||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

He is the Creator, the Cause of causes;

I do not see any other at all.

My Lord and Master is wise and all-knowing.

Meeting with the Gurmukh, I enjoy His Love. ||1||

Such is the sweet, subtle essence of the Lord.

How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, taste it. ||1||Pause||

The Light of the Ambrosial Name of the Lord is immaculate and pure.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 012

Drinking it in, one becomes immortal and free of desire.

The body and mind are cooled and soothed, and the fire is extinguished.

Such a being is the embodiment of bliss, famous throughout the world. ||2||

What can I offer You, Lord? Everything belongs to You.

I am forever a sacrifice to You, hundreds of thousands of times.

You blessed me, and fashioned my body, mind and soul.

By Guru's Grace, this lowly being was exalted. ||3||

Opening the door, You summoned me to the Mansion of Your Presence.

As You are, so You have revealed Yourself to me.

Says Nanak, the screen is totally torn away;

I am Yours, and You are enshrined within my mind. ||4||3||14||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

He has linked His servant to His service.

The Divine Guru has poured the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, into his mouth.

He has subdued all his anxiety.

I am forever a sacrifice to that Guru. ||1||

The True Guru has perfectly resolved my affairs.

The True Guru vibrates the unstruck melody of the sound current. ||1||Pause||

His Glory is profound and unfathomable.

One whom He blesses with patience becomes blissful.

One whose bonds are shattered by the Sovereign Lord

is not cast into the womb of reincarnation again. ||2||

One who is illuminated by the Lord's radiance within,
