Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Jaitsree

O mind, meditate on the One, who holds everything in His hands.

Gather the wealth of the Lord's Name; O Nanak, it shall always be with You. ||3||

Chhant:

God is our only True Friend; there is not any other.

In the places and interspaces, in the water and on the land, He Himself is pervading everywhere.

He is totally permeating the water, the land and the sky; God is the Great Giver, the Lord and Master of all.

The Lord of the world, the Lord of the universe has no limit; His Glorious Virtues are unlimited - how can I count them?

I have hurried to the Sanctuary of the Lord Master, the Bringer of peace; without Him, there is no other at all.

Prays Nanak, that being, unto whom the Lord shows mercy - he alone obtains the Naam. ||3||

Section 15 - Raag Jaitsree - Part 010

Shalok:

Whatever I wish for, that I receive.

Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Nanak has found total peace. ||4||

Chhant:

My mind is now emancipated; I have joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

As Gurmukh, I chant the Naam, and my light has merged into the Light.

Remembering the Lord's Name in meditation, my sins have been erased; the fire has been extinguished, and I am satisfied.

He has taken me by the arm, and blessed me with His kind mercy; He has accepted me His own.

The Lord has hugged me in His embrace, and merged me with Himself; the pains of birth and death have been burnt away.

Prays Nanak, He has blessed me with His kind mercy; in an instant, He unites me with Himself. ||4||2||

Jaitsree, Chhant, Fifth Mehl:

The world is like a temporary way-station, but it is filled with pride.

People commit countless sins; they are dyed in the color of the love of Maya.

In greed, emotional attachment and egotism, they are drowning; they do not even think of dying.

Children, friends, worldly occupations and spouses - they talk of these things, while their lives are passing away.

When their pre-ordained days have run their course, O mother, they behold the Messengers of the Righteous Judge of Dharma, and they suffer.

The karma of their past deeds cannot be erased, O Nanak, if they have not earned the wealth of the Lord's Name. ||1||

He makes all sorts of efforts, but he does not sing the Lord's Name.

He wanders around in countless incarnations; he dies, only to be born again.

As beasts, birds, stones and trees - their number cannot be known.

As are the seeds he plants, so are the pleasures he enjoys; he receives the consequences of his own actions.

He loses the jewel of this human life in the gamble, and God is not pleased with him at all.

Prays Nanak, wandering in doubt, he does not find any rest, even for an instant. ||2||

Youth has passed, and old age has taken its place.
