Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bairaaree

The Lord Himself is the banker, the jeweller, the jewel, the gem; the Lord Himself created the entire expanse of the creation.

O Nanak, one who is blessed by the Lord's Kind Mercy, trades in the Lord's Name; He alone is the true banker, the true trader. ||2||4||

Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:

Meditate, O mind, on the immaculate, formless Lord.

Forever and ever, meditate on the Lord, the Giver of peace; He has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||

In the fiery pit of the womb, when you were hanging upside-down, the Lord absorbed You in His Love, and preserved You.

So serve such a Lord, O my mind; the Lord shall deliver you in the end. ||1||

Bow down in reverence to that humble being, within whose heart the Lord, Har, Har, abides.

By the Lord's Kind Mercy, O Nanak, one obtains the Lord's meditation, and the support of the Naam. ||2||5||

Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:

O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; meditate on it continually.

You shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires, and pain shall never touch you again. ||1||Pause||

That is chanting, that is deep meditation and austerity, that is fasting and worship, which inspires love for the Lord.

Without the Lord's Love, every other love is false; in an instant, it is all forgotten. ||1||

You are infinite, the Master of all power; Your value cannot be described at all.

Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O Dear Lord; as it pleases You, save him. ||2||6||

Raag Bairaaree, Fifth Mehl, First House:

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

Meeting with the humble Saints, sing the Praises of the Lord.

The pains of millions of incarnations shall be eradicated. ||1||Pause||

Whatever your mind desires, that you shall obtain.

By His Kind Mercy, the Lord blesses us with His Name. ||1||

All happiness and greatness are in the Lord's Name.

By Guru's Grace, Nanak has gained this understanding. ||2||1||7||
