Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dhanaasaree

True is the Word of the Perfect Guru's Bani.

They bring peace to the mind, and celestial peace is absorbed within. ||2||

O my humble Siblings of Destiny, behold this strange and wonderful thing:

duality is overcome, and the Lord dwells within his mind.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is priceless; it cannot be taken.

By Guru's Grace, it comes to abide in the mind. ||3||

He is the One God, abiding within all.

Through the Guru's Teachings, He is revealed in the heart.

One who intuitively knows and realizes God,

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 005

O Nanak, obtains the Naam; his mind is pleased and appeased. ||4||1||

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

The wealth of the Lord's Name is immaculate, and absolutely infinite.

The Word of the Guru's Shabad is over-flowing with treasure.

Know that, except for the wealth of the Name, all other wealth is poison.

The egotistical people are burning in their attachment to Maya. ||1||

How rare is that Gurmukh who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord.

He is always in bliss, day and night; through perfect good destiny, he obtains the Name. ||Pause||

The Word of the Shabad is a lamp, illuminating the three worlds.

One who tastes it, becomes immaculate.

The immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord, washes off the filth of ego.

True devotional worship brings lasting peace. ||2||

One who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord is the Lord's humble servant.

He is forever happy; he is never sad.

He himself is liberated, and he liberates others as well.

He chants the Lord's Name, and through the Lord, he finds peace. ||3||

Without the True Guru, everyone dies, crying out in pain.

Night and day, they burn, and find no peace.

But meeting the True Guru, all thirst is quenched.

O Nanak, through the Naam, one finds peace and tranquility. ||4||2||

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

Gather in and cherish forever the wealth of the Lord's Name, deep within;

He cherishes and nurtures all beings and creatures.

They alone obtain the treasure of Liberation,

who are lovingly imbued with, and focused on the Lord's Name. ||1||

Serving the Guru, one obtains the wealth of the Lord's Name.

He is illumined and enlightened within, and he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

This love for the Lord is like the love of the bride for her husband.

God ravishes and enjoys the soul-bride who is adorned with peace and tranquility.

No one finds God through egotism.

Wandering away from the Primal Lord, the root of all, one wastes his life in vain. ||2||

Tranquility, celestial peace, pleasure and the Word of His Bani come from the Guru.

True is that service, which leads one to merge in the Naam.
