Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

Soohee, Fourth Mehl, Sixth House:

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

When someone of low social class chants the Lord's Name, he obtains the state of highest dignity.

Go and ask Bidar, the son of a maid; Krishna himself stayed in his house. ||1||

Listen, O humble Siblings of Destiny, to the Unspoken Speech of the Lord; it removes all anxiety, pain and hunger. ||1||Pause||

Ravi Daas, the leather-worker, praised the Lord, and sang the Kirtan of His Praises each and every instant.

Although he was of low social status, he was exalted and elevated, and people of all four castes came and bowed at his feet. ||2||

Naam Dayv loved the Lord; the people called him a fabric dyer.

The Lord turned His back on the high-class Kh'shaatriyas and Brahmins, and showed His face to Naam Dayv. ||3||

All of the devotees and servants of the Lord have the tilak, the ceremonial mark, applied to their foreheads at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

Servant Nanak shall touch their feet night and day, if the Lord, the King, grants His Grace. ||4||1||8||

Soohee, Fourth Mehl:

They alone worship and adore the Lord deep within, who are blessed with such pre-ordained destiny from the very beginning of time.

What can anyone do to undermine them? My Creator Lord is on their side. ||1||

So meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, O my mind. Meditate on the Lord, O mind; He is the Eliminator of all the pains of reincarnation. ||1||Pause||

In the very beginning, the Lord blessed His devotees with the Ambrosial Nectar, the treasure of devotion.

Anyone who tries to compete with them is a fool; his face shall be blackened here and hereafter. ||2||

They alone are devotees, and they alone are selfless servants, who love the Lord's Name.

By their selfless service, they find the Lord, while ashes fall on the heads of the slanderers. ||3||

He alone knows this, who experiences it within the home of his own self. Ask Guru Nanak, the Guru of the world, and reflect upon it.

Throughout the four generations of the Gurus, from the beginning of time and throughout the ages, no one has ever found the Lord by back-biting and undermining. Only by serving the Lord with love, is one emancipated. ||4||2||9||

Soohee, Fourth Mehl:

Wherever the Lord is worshipped in adoration, there the Lord becomes one's friend and helper.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 007

By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind; He cannot be obtained in any other way. ||1||

So gather in the wealth of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny,

so that in this world and the next, the Lord shall be your friend and companion. ||1||Pause||
