Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

Wherever He keeps me, that is the place of liberation for me.

Whatever He makes me chant, is His Name. ||2||

That is the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, where the Holy place their feet,

and that is heaven, where the Naam is chanted.

All bliss comes, when one obtains the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

I sing continuously, continually, the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

The Lord Himself is pervading in each and every heart.

The glory of the Merciful Lord is radiant and manifest.

The shutters are opened, and doubts have run away.

Nanak has met with the Perfect Guru. ||4||14||25||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Millions of meditations and austerities rest in him,

along with wealth, wisdom, miraculous spiritual powers and angelic spiritual insight.

He enjoys the various shows and forms, pleasures and delicacies;

the Naam, the Name of the Lord, dwells within the heart of the Gurmukh. ||1||

Such is the glorious greatness of the Name of the Lord.

Its value cannot be described. ||1||Pause||

He alone is brave, patient and perfectly wise;

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 016

he is intuitively in Samaadhi, profound and unfathomable.

He is liberated forever and all his affairs are perfectly resolved;

the Lord's Name abides within his heart. ||2||

He is totally peaceful, blissful and healthy;

he looks upon all impartially, and is perfectly detached.

He does not come and go, and he never wavers;

the Naam abides in his mind. ||3||

God is Merciful to the meek; He is the Lord of the World, the Lord of the Universe.

The Gurmukh meditates on Him, and his worries are gone.

The Guru has blessed Nanak with the Naam;

he serves the Saints, and works for the Saints. ||4||15||26||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, and the Beej Mantra, the Seed Mantra.

Even the homeless find a home in the world hereafter.

Fall at the feet of the Perfect Guru;

you have slept for so many incarnations - wake up! ||1||

Chant the Chant of the Lord's Name, Har, Har.

By Guru's Grace, it shall be enshrined within your heart, and you shall cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

Meditate on the eternal treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O mind,

and then, the screen of Maya shall be torn away.

Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Guru's Shabad,

and then your soul shall be rendered immaculate and pure. ||2||

Searching, searching, searching, I have realized

that without devotional worship of the Lord, no one is saved.

So vibrate, and meditate on that Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;

your mind and body shall be imbued with love for the Lord. ||3||
