Listen, O blind, foolish, idiotic mind.

Aren't you ashamed of your comings and goings in reincarnation? Without the Guru, you shall drown, over and over again. ||1||Pause||

This mind is ruined by its attachment to Maya.

The Command of the Primal Lord is pre-ordained. Before whom should I cry?

Only a few, as Gurmukh, understand this.

Without the Naam, no one is liberated. ||2||

People wander lost, staggering and stumbling through 8.4 million incarnations.

Without knowing the Guru, they cannot escape the noose of Death.

This mind, from one moment to the next, goes from the heavens to the underworld.

The Gurmukh contemplates the Naam, and is released. ||3||

When God sends His Summons, there is no time to delay.

When one dies in the Word of the Shabad, he lives in peace.

Without the Guru, no one understands.

The Lord Himself acts, and inspires all to act. ||4||

Inner conflict comes to an end, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Through the Perfect True Guru, one is intuitively absorbed into the Lord.

This wobbling, unsteady mind is stabilized,

and one lives the lifestyle of true actions. ||5||

If someone is false within his own self, then how can he be pure?

How rare are those who wash with the Shabad.

How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, live the Truth.

Their comings and goings in reincarnation are over and done. ||6||

Section 34 - Raag Prabhaatee - Part 019

Those who eat and drink the Fear of God, find the most excellent peace.

Associating with the humble servants of the Lord, they are carried across.

They speak the Truth, and lovingly inspire others to speak it as well.

The Word of the Guru's Shabad is the most excellent occupation. ||7||

Those who take the Lord's Praises as their karma and Dharma, their honor and worship service

- their sexual desire and anger are burnt off in the fire.

They taste the sublime essence of the Lord, and their minds are drenched with it.

Prays Nanak, there is no other at all. ||8||5||

Prabhaatee, First Mehl:

Chant the Lord's Name, and worship Him deep within your being.

Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and no other. ||1||

The One is pervading all places.

I do not see any other; unto whom should I offer worship? ||1||Pause||

I place my mind and body in offering before You; I dedicate my soul to You.

As it pleases You, You save me, Lord; this is my prayer. ||2||

True is that tongue which is delighted by the sublime essence of the Lord.

Following the Guru's Teachings, one is saved in the Sanctuary of God. ||3||

My God created religious rituals.

He placed the glory of the Naam above these rituals. ||4||

The four great blessings are under the control of the True Guru.
