Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Basant

Without the Lord's Name, one cannot become pure.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, sing the Praises of the True Lord. ||2||

O Savior Lord, that person whom You have saved

- You lead him to meet the True Guru, and so take care of him.

You take away his poisonous egotism and attachment.

You dispel all his sufferings, O Sovereign Lord God. ||3||

His state and condition are sublime; the Lord's Glorious Virtues permeate his body.

Through the Word of the Guru's Teachings, the diamond of the Lord's Name is revealed.

He is lovingly attuned to the Naam; he is rid of the love of duality.

O Lord, let servant Nanak meet the Guru. ||4||5||

Basant, First Mehl:

O my friends and companions, listen with love in your heart.

My Husband Lord is Incomparably Beautiful; He is always with me.

He is Unseen - He cannot be seen. How can I describe Him?

Section 29 - Raag Basant - Part 003

The Guru has shown me that my Sovereign Lord God is with me. ||1||

Joining together with my friends and companions, I am adorned with the Lord's Glorious Virtues.

The sublime soul-brides play with their Lord God. The Gurmukhs look within themselves; their minds are filled with faith. ||1||Pause||

The self-willed manmukhs, suffering in separation, do not understand this mystery.

The Beloved Lord of all celebrates in each and every heart.

The Gurmukh is stable, knowing that God is always with him.

The Guru has implanted the Naam within me; I chant it, and meditate on it. ||2||

Without the Guru, devotional love does not well up within.

Without the Guru, one is not blessed with the Society of the Saints.

Without the Guru, the blind cry out, entangled in worldly affairs.

That mortal who becomes Gurmukh becomes immaculate; the Word of the Shabad washes away his filth. ||3||

Uniting with the Guru, the mortal conquers and subdues his mind.

Day and night, he savors the Yoga of devotional worship.

Associating with the Saint Guru, suffering and sickness are ended.

Servant Nanak merges with his Husband Lord, in the Yoga of intuitive ease. ||4||6||

Basant, First Mehl:

By His Creative Power, God fashioned the creation.

The King of kings Himself adminsters true justice.

The most sublime Word of the Guru's Teachings is always with us.

The wealth of the Lord's Name, the source of nectar, is easily acquired. ||1||

So chant the Name of the Lord; do not forget it, O my mind.

The Lord is Infinite, Inaccessible and Incomprehensible; His weight cannot be weighed, but He Himself allows the Gurmukh to weigh Him. ||1||Pause||

Your GurSikhs serve at the Guru's Feet.

Serving the Guru, they are carried across; they have abandoned any distinction between 'mine' and 'yours'.
