Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

I have seen one glory of Yours, that You are pervading and permeating in all. ||3||

Your Glories are so numerous, and I do not know even one of them; I am such a fool - please, give me some of them!

Prays Nanak, listen, O my Lord Master: I am sinking like a stone - please, save me! ||4||4||

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

I am a wicked sinner and a great hypocrite; You are the Immaculate and Formless Lord.

Tasting the Ambrosial Nectar, I am imbued with supreme bliss; O Lord and Master, I seek Your Sanctuary. ||1||

O Creator Lord, You are the honor of the dishonored.

In my lap is the honor and glory of the wealth of the Name; I merge into the True Word of the Shabad. ||Pause||

You are perfect, while I am worthless and imperfect. You are profound, while I am trivial.

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 003

My mind is imbued with You, day and night and morning, O Lord; my tongue chants Your Name, and my mind meditates on You. ||2||

You are True, and I am absorbed into You; through the mystery of the Shabad, I shall ultimately become True as well.

Those who are imbued with the Naam day and night are pure, while those who die to be reborn are impure. ||3||

I do not see any other like the Lord; who else should I praise? No one is equal to Him.

Prays Nanak, I am the slave of His slaves; by Guru's Instruction, I know Him. ||4||5||

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

He is unknowable, infinite, unapproachable and imperceptible. He is not subject to death or karma.

His caste is casteless; He is unborn, self-illumined, and free of doubt and desire. ||1||

I am a sacrifice to the Truest of the True.

He has no form, no color and no features; through the True Word of the Shabad, He reveals Himself. ||Pause||

He has no mother, father, sons or relatives; He is free of sexual desire; He has no wife.

He has no ancestry; He is immaculate. He is infinite and endless; O Lord, Your Light is pervading all. ||2||

Deep within each and every heart, God is hidden; His Light is in each and every heart.

The heavy doors are opened by Guru's Instructions; one becomes fearless, in the trance of deep meditation. ||3||

The Lord created all beings, and placed death over the heads of all; all the world is under His Power.

Serving the True Guru, the treasure is obtained; living the Word of the Shabad, one is emancipated. ||4||

In the pure vessel, the True Name is contained; how few are those who practice true conduct.

The individual soul is united with the Supreme Soul; Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary, Lord. ||5||6||

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

Like a fish without water is the faithless cynic, who dies of thirst.

So shall you die, O mind, without the Lord, as your breath goes in vain. ||1||

O mind, chant the Lord's Name, and praise Him.
