Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bhairao

Bhairao, First Mehl:

He remains with the Guru, day and night, and his tongue savors the savory taste of the Lord's Love.

He does not know any other; he realizes the Word of the Shabad. He knows and realizes the Lord deep within his own being. ||1||

Such a humble person is pleasing to my mind.

He conquers his self-conceit, and is imbued with the Infinite Lord. He serves the Guru. ||1||Pause||

Deep within my being, and outside as well, is the Immaculate Lord God. I bow humbly before that Primal Lord God.

Deep within each and every heart, and amidst all, the Embodiment of Truth is permeating and pervading. ||2||

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 003

Those who are imbued with Truth - their tongues are tinged with Truth; they do not have even an iota of the filth of falsehood.

They taste the sweet Ambrosial Nectar of the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord; imbued with the Shabad, they are blessed with honor. ||3||

The virtuous meet with the virtuous, and earn the profit; as Gurmukh, they obtain the glorious greatness of the Naam.

All sorrows are erased, by serving the Guru; O Nanak, the Naam is our only Friend and Companion. ||4||5||6||

Bhairao, First Mehl:

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the wealth and support of all; It is enshrined in the heart, by Guru's Grace.

One who gathers this imperishable wealth is fulfilled, and through intuitive meditation, is lovingly focused on the Lord. ||1||

O mortal, focus your consciousness on devotional worship of the Lord.

As Gurmukh, meditate on the Name of the Lord in your heart, and you shall return to your home with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||

Doubt, separation and fear are never eradicated, and the mortal continues coming and going in reincarnation, as long as he does not know the Lord.

Without the Name of the Lord, no one is liberated; they drown and die without water. ||2||

Busy with his worldly affairs, all honor is lost; the ignorant one is not rid of his doubts.

Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the mortal is never liberated; he remains blindly entangled in the expanse of worldly affairs. ||3||

My mind is pleased and appeased with the Immaculate Lord, who has no ancestry. Through the mind itself, the mind is subdued.

Deep within my being, and outside as well, I know only the One Lord. O Nanak, there is no other at all. ||4||6||7||

Bhairao, First Mehl:

You may give feasts, make burnt offerings, donate to charity, perform austere penance and worship, and endure pain and suffering in the body.

But without the Lord's Name, liberation is not obtained. As Gurmukh, obtain the Naam and liberation. ||1||

Without the Lord's Name, birth into the world is useless.
