Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Kaydaaraa

Please be kind to me, O Lord and Master of Nanak, that I may merge in You. ||3||

Searching and searching, I have met with my Lord God, who has showered me with His Mercy.

I am unworthy, a lowly orphan, but He does not even consider my faults.

He does not consider my faults; He has blessed me with Perfect Peace. It is said that it is His Way to purify us.

Hearing that He is the Love of His devotees, I have grasped the hem of His robe. He is totally permeating each and every heart.

I have found the Lord, the Ocean of Peace, with intuitive ease; the pains of birth and death are gone.

Taking him by the hand, the Lord has saved Nanak, His slave; He has woven the garland of His Name into his heart. ||4||1||

Section 27 - Raag Kaydaaraa - Part 006

Raag Kaydaaraa, The Word Of Kabeer Jee:

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

Those who ignore both praise and slander, who reject egotistical pride and conceit,

who look alike upon iron and gold - they are the very image of the Lord God. ||1||

Hardly anyone is a humble servant of Yours, O Lord.

Ignoring sexual desire, anger, greed and attachment, such a person becomes aware of the Lord's Feet. ||1||Pause||

Raajas, the quality of energy and activity; Taamas, the quality of darkness and inertia; and Satvas, the quality of purity and light, are all called the creations of Maya, Your illusion.

That man who realizes the fourth state - he alone obtains the supreme state. ||2||

Amidst pilgrimages, fasting, rituals, purification and self-discipline, he remains always without thought of reward.

Thirst and desire for Maya and doubt depart, remembering the Lord, the Supreme Soul. ||3||

When the temple is illuminated by the lamp, its darkness is dispelled.

The Fearless Lord is All-pervading. Doubt has run away, says Kabeer, the Lord's humble slave. ||4||1||

Some deal in bronze and copper, some in cloves and betel nuts.

The Saints deal in the Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe. Such is my merchandise as well. ||1||

I am a trader in the Name of the Lord.

The priceless diamond has come into my hands. I have left the world behind. ||1||Pause||

When the True Lord attached me, then I was attached to Truth. I am a trader of the True Lord.

I have loaded the commodity of Truth; It has reached the Lord, the Treasurer. ||2||

He Himself is the pearl, the jewel, the ruby; He Himself is the jeweller.

He Himself spreads out in the ten directions. The Merchant is Eternal and Unchanging. ||3||

My mind is the bull, and meditation is the road; I have filled my packs with spiritual wisdom, and loaded them on the bull.

Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints: my merchandise has reached its destination! ||4||2||

You barbaric brute, with your primitive intellect - reverse your breath and turn it inward.
