I have found the jewel within my heart.
I was not charged for it; the True Guru gave it to me.
My search has ended, and I have become stable.
O Nanak, I have conquered this priceless human life. ||2||
Pauree:
One who has such good karma inscribed upon his forehead, is committed to the Lord's service.
One whose heart lotus blossoms forth upon meeting the Guru, remains awake and aware, night and day.
All doubt and fear run away from one who is in love with the Lord's lotus feet.
Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 090
He conquers his soul, following the Guru's Teachings, and attains the Imperishable Lord.
He alone keeps up in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, who meditates on the Supreme Lord God.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he is immaculate, as if he has bathed at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.
He alone is a man of good fortune, who has met with God.
Nanak is a sacrifice to such a one, whose destiny is so great! ||17||
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:
When the Husband Lord is within the heart, then Maya, the bride, goes outside.
When one's Husband Lord is outside of oneself, then Maya, the bride, is supreme.
Without the Name, one wanders all around.
The True Guru shows us that the Lord is with us.
Servant Nanak merges in the Truest of the True. ||1||
Fifth Mehl:
Making all sorts of efforts, they wander around; but they do not make even one effort.
O Nanak, how rare are those who understand the effort which saves the world. ||2||
Pauree:
The greatest of the great, infinite is Your dignity.
Your colors and hues are so numerous; no one can know Your actions.
You are the Soul within all souls; You alone know everything.
Everything is under Your control; Your home is beautiful.
Your home is filled with bliss, which resonates and resounds throughout Your home.
Your honor, majesty and glory are Yours alone.
You are overflowing with all powers; wherever we look, there You are.
Nanak, the slave of Your slaves, prays to You alone. ||18||
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:
Your streets are covered with canopies; under them, the traders look beautiful.
O Nanak, he alone is truly a banker, who buys the infinite commodity. ||1||
Fifth Mehl:
Kabeer, no one is mine, and I belong to no one.
I am absorbed in the One, who created this creation. ||2||
Pauree:
The Lord is the most beautiful fruit tree, bearing fruits of Ambrosial Nectar.
My mind longs to meet Him; how can I ever find Him?
He has no color or form; He is inaccessible and unconquerable.
I love Him with all my soul; He opens the door for me.
I shall serve you forever, if you tell me of my Friend.
I am a sacrifice, a dedicated, devoted sacrifice to Him.
