Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

Why not chant the Lord's Name in your heart, when you are still young? ||3||9||

O Saints, my windy mind has now become peaceful and still.

It seems that I have learned something of the science of Yoga. ||Pause||

The Guru has shown me the hole,

through which the deer carefully enters.

I have now closed off the doors,

and the unstruck celestial sound current resounds. ||1||

The pitcher of my heart-lotus is filled with water;

I have spilled out the water, and set it upright.

Says Kabeer, the Lord's humble servant, this I know.

Now that I know this, my mind is pleased and appeased. ||2||10||

Raag Sorat'h:

I am so hungry, I cannot perform devotional worship service.

Here, Lord, take back Your mala.

I beg for the dust of the feet of the Saints.

I do not owe anyone anything. ||1||

O Lord, how can I be with You?

If You do not give me Yourself, then I shall beg until I get You. ||Pause||

I ask for two kilos of flour,

and half a pound of ghee, and salt.

I ask for a pound of beans,

which I shall eat twice a day. ||2||

I ask for a cot, with four legs,

and a pillow and mattress.

I ask for a quit to cover myself.

Your humble servant shall perform Your devotional worship service with love. ||3||

I have no greed;

Your Name is the only ornament I wish for.

Says Kabeer, my mind is pleased and appeased;

now that my mind is pleased and appeased, I have come to know the Lord. ||4||11||

Raag Sorat'h, The Word Of Devotee Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:

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

When I see Him, I sing His Praises.

Then I, his humble servant, become patient. ||1||

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 063

Meeting the Divine True Guru, I merge into the sound current of the Naad. ||1||Pause||

Where the dazzling white light is seen,

there the unstruck sound current of the Shabad resounds.

One's light merges in the Light;

by Guru's Grace, I know this. ||2||

The jewels are in the treasure chamber of the heart-lotus.

They sparkle and glitter like lightning.

The Lord is near at hand, not far away.

He is totally permeating and pervading in my soul. ||3||

Where the light of the undying sun shines,

the light of burning lamps seems insignificant.

By Guru's Grace, I know this.

Servant Naam Dayv is absorbed in the Celestial Lord. ||4||1||

FOURTH HOUSE, SORAT'H:

The woman next door asked Naam Dayv, "Who built your house?

I shall pay him double wages. Tell me, who is your carpenter?"||1||

O sister, I cannot give this carpenter to you.

Behold, my carpenter is pervading everywhere.
