Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dhanaasaree

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

Enshrine the Lord within your heart, and contemplate Him. Dwell upon Him, reflect upon Him, and chant the Name of the Lord, the Enticer of hearts.

The Lord Master is unseen, unfathomable and unreachable; through the Perfect Guru, He is revealed. ||1||

The Lord is the philosopher's stone, which transforms lead into gold, and sandalwood, while I am just dry wood and iron.

Associating with the Lord, and the Sat Sangat, the Lord's True Congregation, the Lord has transformed me into gold and sandalwood. ||1||Pause||

One may repeat, verbatim, the nine grammars and the six Shaastras, but my Lord God is not pleased by this.

O servant Nanak, meditate forever on the Lord in your heart; this is what pleases my Lord God. ||2||1||7||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 010

Chant His Praises, learn of the Lord, and serve the True Guru; in this way, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

In the Court of the Lord, He shall be pleased with you, and you shall not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation again; you shall merge in the Divine Light of the Lord, Har, Har, Har. ||1||

Chant the Name of the Lord, O my mind, and you shall be totally at peace.

The Lord's Praises are the most sublime, the most exalted; serving the Lord, Har, Har, Har, you shall be emancipated. ||Pause||

The Lord, the treasure of mercy, blessed me, and so the Guru blessed me with the Lord's devotional worship; I have come to be in love with the Lord.

I have forgotten my cares and anxieties, and enshrined the Lord's Name in my heart; O Nanak, the Lord has become my friend and companion. ||2||2||8||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

Read about the Lord, write about the Lord, chant the Lord's Name, and sing the Lord's Praises; the Lord will carry you across the terrifying world-ocean.

In your mind, by your words, and within your heart, meditate on the Lord, and He will be pleased. In this way, repeat the Name of the Lord. ||1||

O mind, meditate on the Lord, the Lord of the World.

Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O friend.

You shall be happy forever, day and night; sing the Praises of the Lord, the Lord of the world-forest. ||Pause||

When the Lord, Har, Har, casts His Glance of Grace, then I made the effort in my mind; meditating on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I have been emancipated.

Preserve the honor of servant Nanak, O my Lord and Master; I have come seeking Your Sanctuary. ||2||3||9||

Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

The eighty-four Siddhas, the spiritual masters, the Buddhas, the three hundred thirty million gods and the silent sages, all long for Your Name, O Dear Lord.
