Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maajh

That house, in which the soul-bride has married her Husband Lord

-in that house, O my companions, sing the songs of rejoicing.

Joy and celebrations decorate that house, in which the Husband Lord has adorned His soul-bride. ||1||

She is virtuous, and she is very fortunate;

she is blessed with sons and tender-hearted. The happy soul-bride is loved by her Husband.

She is beautiful, wise, and clever. That soul-bride is the beloved of her Husband Lord. ||2||

She is well-mannered, noble and distinguished.

She is decorated and adorned with wisdom.

She is from a most respected family; she is the queen, adorned with the Love of her Husband Lord. ||3||

Her glory cannot be described;

she melts in the Embrace of her Husband Lord.

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 005

Her marriage is eternal; her Husband is Inaccessible and Incomprehensible. O Servant Nanak, His Love is her only Support. ||4||4||11||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

I have searched and searched, seeking the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

I travelled through all sorts of woods and forests.

My Lord, Har, Har, is both absolute and related, unmanifest and manifest; is there anyone who can come and unite me with Him? ||1||

People recite from memory the wisdom of the six schools of philosophy;

they perform worship services, wear ceremonial religious marks on their foreheads, and take ritual cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

They perform the inner cleansing practice with water and adopt the eighty-four Yogic postures; but still, they find no peace in any of these. ||2||

They chant and meditate, practicing austere self-discipline for years and years;

they wander on journeys all over the earth;

and yet, their hearts are not at peace, even for an instant. The Yogi rises up and goes out, over and over again. ||3||

By His Mercy, I have met the Holy Saint.

My mind and body have been cooled and soothed; I have been blessed with patience and composure.

The Immortal Lord God has come to dwell within my heart. Nanak sings the songs of joy to the Lord. ||4||5||12||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

The Supreme Lord God is Infinite and Divine;

He is Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Invisible and Inscrutable.

Merciful to the meek, Sustainer of the World, Lord of the Universe-meditating on the Lord, the Gurmukhs find salvation. ||1||

The Gurmukhs are emancipated by the Lord.

The Lord Krishna becomes the Gurmukh's Companion.

The Gurmukh finds the Merciful Lord. He is not found any other way. ||2||

He does not need to eat; His Hair is Wondrous and Beautiful; He is free of hate.

Millions of people worship His Feet.

He alone is a devotee, who becomes Gurmukh, whose heart is filled with the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||
