As the path of a bird's flight across the sky cannot be seen,

and the path of a fish through the water cannot be seen;||2||

As the mirage leads one to mistake the sky for a pitcher filled with water

- so is God, the Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, who fits these three comparisons. ||3||2||

Goojaree, Padas Of Ravi Daas Jee, Third House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

The calf has contaminated the milk in the teats.

The bumble bee has contaminated the flower, and the fish the water. ||1||

O mother, where shall I find any offering for the Lord's worship?

I cannot find any other flowers worthy of the incomparable Lord. ||1||Pause||

The snakes encircle the sandalwood trees.

Poison and nectar dwell there together. ||2||

Even with incense, lamps, offerings of food and fragrant flowers,

how are Your slaves to worship You? ||3||

I dedicate and offer my body and mind to You.

By Guru's Grace, I attain the immaculate Lord. ||4||

I cannot worship You, nor offer You flowers.

Says Ravi Daas, what shall my condition be hereafter? ||5||1||

Goojaree, Padas Of Trilochan Jee, First House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

You have not cleansed the filth from within yourself, although outwardly, you wear the dress of a renunciate.

In the heart-lotus of your self, you have not recognized God - why have you become a Sannyaasee? ||1||

Section 09 - Raag Goojaree - Part 038

Deluded by doubt, O Jai Chand,

you have not realized the Lord, the embodiment of supreme bliss. ||1||Pause||

You eat in each and every house, fattening your body; you wear the patched coat and the ear-rings of the beggar, for the sake of wealth.

You apply the ashes of cremation to your body, but without a Guru, you have not found the essence of reality. ||2||

Why bother to chant your spells? Why bother to practice austerities? Why bother to churn water?

Meditate on the Lord of Nirvaanaa, who has created the 8.4 million species of beings. ||3||

Why bother to carry the water-pot, O saffron-robed Yogi? Why bother to visit the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage?

Says Trilochan, listen, mortal: you have no corn - what are you trying to thresh? ||4||1||

GOOJAREE:

At the very last moment, one who thinks of wealth, and dies in such thoughts,

shall be reincarnated over and over again, in the form of serpents. ||1||

O sister, do not forget the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||Pause||

At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts,

shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute. ||2||

At the very last moment, one who thinks of his children, and dies in such thoughts,

shall be reincarnated over and over again as a pig. ||3||
