Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

The Guru has showered His Mercy upon servant Nanak; reaching out with His Hand, God has delivered him. ||4||6||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl, Third House:

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

His service is insignificant, but his demands are very great.

He does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, but he says that he has arrived there||1||

He competes with those who have been accepted by the Beloved Lord.

This is how stubborn the false fool is! ||1||Pause||

He wears religious robes, but he does not practice Truth.

He says that he has found the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, but he cannot even get near it. ||2||

He says that he is unattached, but he is intoxicated with Maya.

There is no love in his mind, and yet he says that he is imbued with the Lord. ||3||

Says Nanak, hear my prayer, God:

I am silly, stubborn and filled with sexual desire - please, liberate me! ||4||

I gaze upon the glorious greatness of the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

You are the Giver of Peace, the Loving Primal Being. ||1||Second Pause||1||7||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

He gets up early, to do his evil deeds,

but when it is time to meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, then he sleeps. ||1||

The ignorant person does not take advantage of the opportunity.

He is attached to Maya, and engrossed in worldly delights. ||1||Pause||

He rides the waves of greed, puffed up with joy.

He does not see the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the Holy. ||2||

The ignorant clown will never understand.

Again and again, he becomes engrossed in entanglements. ||1||Pause||

He listens to the sounds of sin and the music of corruption, and he is pleased.

His mind is too lazy to listen to the Praises of the Lord. ||3||

You do not see with your eyes - you are so blind!

You shall have to leave all these false affairs. ||1||Pause||

Says Nanak, please forgive me, God.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 012

Have Mercy upon me, and bless me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||4||

He alone obtains something, who becomes the dust under the feet of all.

And he alone repeats the Naam, whom God causes to understand. ||1||Pause||2||8||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

Within the home of his own self, he does not even come to see his Lord and Master.

And yet, around his neck, he hangs a stone god. ||1||

The faithless cynic wanders around, deluded by doubt.

He churns water, and after wasting his life away, he dies. ||1||Pause||

That stone, which he calls his god,

that stone pulls him down and drowns him. ||2||

O sinner, you are untrue to your own self;

a boat of stone will not carry you across. ||3||

Meeting the Guru, O Nanak, I know my Lord and Master.
