Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

I continuously sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, day and night; singing the Lord's Praises, I cannot find His limits.

The mind of the Gurmukh returns to its own home; it meets the Lord of the Universe, to the beat of the celestial drum. ||5||

Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan with my eyes, my mind is satisfied; with my ears, I listen to the Guru's Bani, and the Word of His Shabad.

Listening, listening, my soul is softened, delighted by His subtle essence, chanting the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||6||

In the grip of the three qualities, they are engrossed in love and attachment to Maya; only as Gurmukh do they find the absolute quality, absorption in bliss.

With a single, impartial eye, look upon all alike, and see God pervading all. ||7||

The Light of the Lord's Name permeates all; the Gurmukh knows the unknowable.

O Nanak, the Lord has become merciful to the meek; through loving adoration, he merges in the Lord's Name. ||8||1||4||

Bilaaval, Fourth Mehl:

Meditate on the cool water of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Perfume yourself with the fragrant scent of the Lord, the sandalwood tree.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 040

Joining the Society of the Saints, I have obtained the supreme status. I am just a castor-oil tree, made fragrant by their association. ||1||

Meditate on the Lord of the Universe, the Master of the world, the Lord of creation.

Those humble beings who seek the Lord's Sanctuary are saved, like Prahlaad; they are emancipated and merge with the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Of all plants, the sandalwood tree is the most sublime. Everything near the sandalwood tree becomes fragrant like sandalwood.

The stubborn, false faithless cynics are dried up; their egotistical pride separates them far from the Lord. ||2||

Only the Creator Lord Himself knows the state and condition of everyone; the Lord Himself makes all the arrangements.

One who meets the True Guru is transformed into gold. Whatever is pre-ordained, is not erased by erasing. ||3||

The treasure of jewels is found in the ocean of the Guru's Teachings. The treasure of devotional worship is opened to me.

Focused on the Guru's Feet, faith wells up within me; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I hunger for more. ||4||

I am totally detached, continually, continuously meditating on the Lord; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I express my love for Him.

Time and time again, each and every moment and instant, I express it. I cannot find the Lord's limits; He is the farthest of the far. ||5||

The Shaastras, the Vedas and the Puraanas advise righteous actions, and the performance of the six religious rituals.

The hypocritical, self-willed manmukhs are ruined by doubt; in the waves of greed, their boat is heavily loaded, and it sinks. ||6||
