Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Goojaree

Worship the Lord in adoration, day and night, O my dear - do not delay for a moment.

Serve the Saints with loving faith, and set aside your pride and stubbornness. ||1||

The fascinating, playful Lord is my very breath of life and honor.

He abides in my heart; beholding His playful games, my mind is fascinated. ||1||Pause||

Remembering Him, my mind is in bliss, and the rust of my mind is removed.

The great honor of meeting the Lord cannot be described; O Nanak, it is infinite, beyond measure. ||2||4||13||

Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

They call themselves silent sages, Yogis and scholars of the Shaastras, but Maya has has them all under her control.

The three gods, and the 330,000,000 demi-gods, were astonished. ||1||

Section 09 - Raag Goojaree - Part 011

The power of Maya is pervading everywhere.

Her secret is known only by Guru's Grace - no one else knows it. ||1||Pause||

Conquering and conquering, she has conquered everywhere, and she clings to the whole world.

Says Nanak, she surrenders to the Holy Saint; becoming his servant, she falls at his feet. ||2||5||14||

Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

With my palms pressed together, I offer my prayer, meditating on my Lord and Master.

Giving me His hand, the Transcendent Lord has saved me, and erased all my sins. ||1||

The Lord and Master Himself has become merciful.

I have been emancipated, the embodiment of bliss; I am the child of the Lord of the Universe - He has carried me across. ||1||Pause||

Meeting her Husband, the soul-bride sings the songs of joy, and celebrates her Lord and Master.

Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru, who has emancipated everyone. ||2||6||15||

Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

Mother, father, siblings, children and relatives - their power is insignificant.

I have seen the many pleasures of Maya, but none goes with them in the end. ||1||

O Lord Master, other than You, no one is mine.

I am a worthless orphan, devoid of merit; I long for Your Support. ||1||Pause||

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Your lotus feet; here and hereafter, Yours is the only power.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak has obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; my obligations to all others are annulled. ||2||7||16||

Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

He rids us of entanglements, doubt and emotional attachment, and leads us to love God.

He implants this instruction in our minds, for us to sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, in peace and poise. ||1||

O friend, the Saintly Guru is such a helper.

Meeting Him, the bonds of Maya are released, and one never forgets the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Practicing, practicing various actions in so many ways, I came to recognize this as the best way.
