Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Saarang

Attached to Maya, the mortal forgets the Fear of God and Guru, and love for the Infinite Lord.

The waves of greed take away his wisdom and understanding, and he does not embrace love for the True Lord.

The Word of the Shabad abides in the mind of the Gurmukhs, who find the Gate of Salvation.

O Nanak, the Lord Himself forgives them, and unites them in Union with Himself. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

O Nanak, without Him, we could not live for a moment. Forgetting Him, we could not succeed for an instant.

O mortal, how can you be angry with the One who cares for you? ||2||

Fourth Mehl:

The rainy season of Saawan has come. The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord's Name.

All pain, hunger and misfortune end, when the rain falls in torrents.

The entire earth is rejuvenated, and the grain grows in abundance.

The Carefree Lord, by His Grace, summons that mortal whom the Lord Himself approves.

So meditate on the Lord, O Saints; He shall save you in the end.

The Kirtan of the Lord's Praises and devotion to Him is bliss; peace shall come to dwell in the mind.

Those Gurmukhs who worship the Naam, the Name of the Lord - their pain and hunger departs.

Servant Nanak is satisfied, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Please embellish him with the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||3||

Pauree:

The Perfect Guru bestows His gifts, which increase day by day.

The Merciful Lord Himself bestows them; they cannot be concealed by concealment.

The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and the mortal is lovingly absorbed in the state of supreme bliss.

If anyone tries to challenge him, the Lord throws dust on his head.

O Nanak, no one can equal the glory of the Perfect True Guru. ||34||

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 055

Shalok, Third Mehl:

The Order of the Lord is beyond challenge. Clever tricks and arguments will not work against it.

So abandon your self-conceit, and take to His Sanctuary; accept the Order of His Will.

The Gurmukh eliminates self-conceit from within himself; he shall not be punished by the Messenger of Death.

O Nanak, he alone is called a selfless servant, who remains lovingly attuned to the True Lord. ||1||

Third Mehl:

All gifts, light and beauty are Yours.

Excessive cleverness and egotism are mine.

The mortal performs all sorts of rituals in greed and attachment; engrossed in egotsim, he shall never escape the cycle of reincarnation.

O Nanak, the Creator Himself inspires all to act. Whatever pleases Him is good. ||2||

Pauree, Fifth Mehl:

Let Truth be your food, and Truth your clothes, and take the Support of the True Name.

The True Guru shall lead you to meet God, the Great Giver.

When perfect destiny is activated, the mortal meditates on the Formless Lord.
