Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Kaanraa

Coming in contact with the True Guru, they are brought under control; then, salvation and liberation are attained. ||3||

The One and Only Creator of the Universe is All-pervading everywhere. All shall once again merge into the One.

His One Form has one, and many colors; He leads all according to His One Word. ||4||

The Gurmukh realizes the One and Only Lord; He is revealed to the Gurmukh.

The Gurmukh goes and meets the Lord in His Mansion deep within; the Unstruck Word of the Shabad vibrates there. ||5||

God created all the beings and creatures of the universe; He blesses the Gurmukh with glory.

Without meeting the Guru, no one obtains the Mansion of His Presence. They suffer the agony of coming and going in reincarnation. ||6||

For countless lifetimes, I have been separated from my Beloved; in His Mercy, the Guru has united me with Him.

Meeting the True Guru, I have found absolute peace, and my polluted intellect blossoms forth. ||7||

O Lord, Har, Har, please grant Your Grace; O Life of the World, instill faith in the Naam within me.

Nanak is the Guru, the Guru, the True Guru; I am immersed in the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||8||4||

Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

O mind, walk on the Path of the Guru's Teachings.

Just as the wild elephant is subdued by the prod, the mind is disciplined by the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||

The wandering mind wanders, roams and rambles in the ten directions; but the Guru holds it, and lovingly attunes it to the Lord.

The True Guru implants the Word of the Shabad deep within the heart; the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, trickles into the mouth. ||1||

The snakes are filled with poisonous venom; the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the antidote - place it in your mouth.

Maya, the serpent, does not even approach one who is rid of the poison, and lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2||

The dog of greed is very powerful in the village of the body; the Guru strikes it and drives it out in an instant.

Truth, contentment, righteousness and Dharma have settled there; in the village of the Lord, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

Section 32 - Raag Kaanraa - Part 018

The mortal beings are sinking in the swamp of emotional attachment; the Guru lifts them up, and saves them from sinking.

Crying, "Save me! Save me!", the humble come to His Sanctuary; the Guru reaches out His Hand, and lifts them up. ||4||

The whole world is like a game in a dream, all a game. God plays and causes the game to be played.

So earn the Profit of the Naam by following the Guru's Teachings; you shall go to the Court of the Lord in robes of honor. ||5||

They act in egotism, and make others act in egotism; they collect and gather up the blackness of sin.
