Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bihaagra

He is inaccessible, unfathomable and so very great; He is unweighable, and cannot be weighed.

No one can evaluate Him; He cannot be purchased at any price.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His mystery is known; in this way, He comes to dwell in the mind.

O Nanak, He Himself is infinite; by Guru's Grace, He is known to be permeating and pervading everywhere.

He Himself comes to blend, and having blended, remains blended. ||1||

Third Mehl:

O my soul, this is the wealth of the Naam; through it, comes peace, forever and ever.

It never brings any loss; through it, one earns profits forever.

Eating and spending it, it never decreases; He continues to give, forever and ever.

One who has no skepticism at all never suffers humiliation.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh obtains the Name of the Lord, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself is deep within all hearts, and He Himself is outside them.

He Himself is prevailing unmanifest, and He Himself is manifest.

For thirty-six ages, He created the darkness, abiding in the void.

There were no Vedas, Puraanas or Shaastras there; only the Lord Himself existed.

He Himself sat in the absolute trance, withdrawn from everything.

Only He Himself knows His state; He Himself is the unfathomable ocean. ||18||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

In egotism, the world is dead; it dies and dies, again and again.

Section 11 - Raag Bihaagra - Part 020

As long as there is breath in the body, he does not remember the Lord; what will he do in the world hereafter?

One who remembers the Lord is a spiritual teacher; the ignorant one acts blindly.

O Nanak, whatever one does in this world, determines what he shall receive in the world hereafter. ||1||

Third Mehl:

From the very beginning, it has been the Will of the Lord Master, that He cannot be remembered without the True Guru.

Meeting the True Guru, he realizes that the Lord is permeating and pervading deep within him; he remains forever absorbed in the Lord's Love.

With each and every breath, he constantly remembers the Lord in meditation; not a single breath passes in vain.

His fears of birth and death depart, and he obtains the honored state of eternal life.

O Nanak, He bestows this rank upon that mortal, upon whom He showers His Mercy. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself is all-wise and all-knowing; He Himself is supreme.

He Himself reveals His form, and He Himself enjoins us to His meditation.

He Himself poses as a silent sage, and He Himself speaks spiritual wisdom.

He does not seem bitter to anyone; He is pleasing to all.

His Praises cannot be described; forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||19||

Shalok, First Mehl:

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, O Nanak, the demons have taken birth.
