Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

He is protected by the Creator Lord; what harm can anyone do to him?

Even an ant can conquer the whole world.

His glory is endless; how can I describe it?

I am a sacrifice, a devoted sacrifice, to His feet. ||2||

He alone performs worship, austerities and meditation;

he alone is a giver to various charities;

he alone is approved in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga,

whom the Lord Master blesses with honor. ||3||

Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I am enlightened.

I have found celestial peace, and my hopes are fulfilled.

The Perfect True Guru has blessed me with faith.

Nanak is the slave of His slaves. ||4||7||18||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Don't blame others, O people;

as you plant, so shall you harvest.

By your actions, you have bound yourself.

You come and go, entangled in Maya. ||1||

Such is the understanding of the Saintly people.

You shall be enlightened, through the Word of the Perfect Guru. ||1||Pause||

Body, wealth, spouse and ostentatious displays are false.

Horses and elephants will pass away.

Power, pleasures and beauty are all false.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, everything is reduced to dust. ||2||

The egotistical people are deluded by useless doubt.

Of all this expanse, nothing shall go along with you.

Through pleasure and pain, the body is growing old.

Doing these things, the faithless cynics are passing their lives. ||3||

The Name of the Lord is Ambrosial Nectar in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.

This treasure is obtained from the Holy.

O Nanak, whoever pleases the Guru,

the Lord of the Universe, beholds the Lord in each and every heart. ||4||8||19||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, echo the perfect sound current of the Naad.

The wondrous, amazing unstruck melody vibrates.

The Saintly people play there with the Lord.

They remain totally detached, absorbed in the Supreme Lord God. ||1||

It is the realm of celestial peace and bliss.

The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sits and sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. There is no disease or sorrow there, no birth or death. ||1||Pause||

There, they meditate only on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

How rare are those who find this place of rest.

The love of God is their food, and the Kirtan of the Lord's Praise is their support.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 014

They obtain a permanent seat in the infinite. ||2||

No one falls there, or wavers, or goes anywhere.

By Guru's Grace, some find this mansion.

They are not touched by doubt, fear, attachment or the traps of Maya.

They enter the deepest state of Samaadhi, through the kind mercy of God. ||3||

He has no end or limitation.
