Without the Guru, how will you obtain this juice? The Guru shall unite you with the Lord. ||Pause||

For the Gurmukh, meeting with the Society of the Saints is like making a pilgrimage to a sacred shrine.

The benefit of bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage is obtained by the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. ||2||

Like the Yogi without abstinence, and like penance without truth and contentment,

so is the body without the Lord's Name; death will slay it, because of the sin within. ||3||

The faithless cynic does not obtain the Lord's Love; the Lord's Love is obtained only through the True Guru.

One who meets with the Guru, the Giver of pleasure and pain, says Nanak, is absorbed in the Lord's Praise. ||4||7||

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

You, God, are the Giver of gifts, the Lord of perfect understanding; I am a mere beggar at Your Door.

What should I beg for? Nothing remains permanent; O Lord, please, bless me with Your Beloved Name. ||1||

In each and every heart, the Lord, the Lord of the forest, is permeating and pervading.

In the water, on the land, and in the sky, He is pervading but hidden; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is revealed. ||Pause||

In this world, in the nether regions of the underworld, and in the Akaashic Ethers, the Guru, the True Guru, has shown me the Lord; He has showered me with His Mercy.

He is the unborn Lord God; He is, and shall ever be. Deep within your heart, behold Him, the Destroyer of ego. ||2||

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 004

This wretched world is caught in birth and death; in the love of duality, it has forgotten devotional worship of the Lord.

Meeting the True Guru, the Guru's Teachings are obtained; the faithless cynic loses the game of life. ||3||

Breaking my bonds, the True Guru has set me free, and I shall not be cast into the womb of reincarnation again.

O Nanak, the jewel of spiritual wisdom shines forth, and the Lord, the Formless Lord, dwells within my mind. ||4||8||

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

The treasure of the Name, for which you have come into the world - that Ambrosial Nectar is with the Guru.

Renounce costumes, disguises and clever tricks; this fruit is not obtained by duplicity. ||1||

O my mind, remain steady, and do not wander away.

By searching around on the outside, you shall only suffer great pain; the Ambrosial Nectar is found within the home of your own being. ||Pause||

Renounce corruption, and seek virtue; committing sins, you shall only come to regret and repent.

You do not know the difference between good and evil; again and again, you sink into the mud. ||2||

Within you is the great filth of greed and falsehood; why do you bother to wash your body on the outside?
