Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bhairao

Meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and imbue yourself with this most excellent color. ||1||Pause||

O my tongue, other occupations are false.

The state of Nirvaanaa comes only through the Lord's Name. ||2||

The performance of countless millions of other devotions

is not equal to even one devotion to the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Prays Naam Dayv, this is my occupation.

O Lord, Your Forms are endless. ||4||1||

One who stays away from others' wealth and others' spouses

- the Lord abides near that person. ||1||

Those who do not meditate and vibrate on the Lord

- I do not even want to see them. ||1||Pause||

Those whose inner beings are not in harmony with the Lord,

are nothing more than beasts. ||2||

Prays Naam Dayv, a man without a nose

does not look handsome, even if he has the thirty-two beauty marks. ||3||2||

Naam Dayv milked the brown cow, and brought a cup of milk and a jug of water to his family god. ||1||

"Please drink this milk, O my Sovereign Lord God.

Drink this milk and my mind will be happy.

Otherwise, my father will be angry with me."||1||Pause||

Taking the golden cup, Naam Dayv filled it with the ambrosial milk,

and placed it before the Lord. ||2||

The Lord looked upon Naam Dayv and smiled. "This one devotee abides within my heart."||3||

The Lord drank the milk, and the devotee returned home.

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 040

Thus did Naam Dayv come to receive the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||3||

I am crazy - the Lord is my Husband.

I decorate and adorn myself for Him. ||1||

Slander me well, slander me well, slander me well, O people.

My body and mind are united with my Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||

Do not engage in any arguments or debates with anyone.

With your tongue, savor the Lord's sublime essence. ||2||

Now, I know within my soul, that such an arrangement has been made;

I will meet with my Lord by the beat of the drum. ||3||

Anyone can praise or slander me.

Naam Dayv has met the Lord. ||4||4||

Sometimes, people do not appreciate milk, sugar and ghee.

Sometimes, they have to beg for bread from door to door.

Sometimes, they have to pick out the grain from the chaff. ||1||

As the Lord keeps us, so do we live, O Siblings of Destiny.

The Lord's Glory cannot even be described. ||1||Pause||

Sometimes, people prance around on horses.

Sometimes, they do not even have shoes for their feet. ||2||

Sometimes, people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.

Sometimes, they do not even have straw to put down on the ground. ||3||

Naam Dayv prays, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, can save us.

One who meets the Guru, is carried across to the other side. ||4||5||
