How rare is that person who realizes that God is in each and every heart.

When one meets the True Guru, then he understands. ||4||

Making his calculations, cynicism and suffering afflict his soul.

Seeking the Sanctuary of the Guru, peace is found.

I sinned and made mistakes, but now I seek Your Sanctuary.

The Guru led me to meet the Lord, according to my past actions. ||5||

If one does not enter the Guru's Sanctuary, God cannot be found.

Deluded by doubt, one is born, only to die, and come back again.

Dying in corruption, he is bound and gagged at Death's door.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is not in his heart, and he does not act according to the Shabad. ||6||

Some call themselves Pandits, religious scholars and spiritual teachers.

Tinged with double-mindedness, they do not find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 030

One who takes the Support of the Naam, by Guru's Grace,

is a rare person, one among millions, incomparable. ||7||

One is bad, and another good, but the One True Lord is contained in all.

Understand this, O spiritual teacher, through the support of the True Guru:

rare indeed is that Gurmukh, who realizes the One Lord.

His comings and goings cease, and he merges in the Lord. ||8||

Those who have the One Universal Creator Lord within their hearts,

possess all virtues; they contemplate the True Lord.

One who acts in harmony with the Guru's Will,

O Nanak, is absorbed in the Truest of the True. ||9||4||

Raamkalee, First Mehl:

Practicing restraint by Hatha Yoga, the body wears away.

The mind is not softened by fasting or austerities.

Nothing else is equal to worship of the Lord's Name. ||1||

Serve the Guru, O mind, and associate with the humble servants of the Lord.

The tyrannical Messenger of Death cannot touch you, and the serpent of Maya cannot sting you, when you drink in the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

The world reads the arguments, and is softened only by music.

In the three modes and corruption, they are born and die.

Without the Lord's Name, they endure suffering and pain. ||2||

The Yogi draws the breath upwards, and opens the Tenth Gate.

He practices inner cleansing and the six rituals of purification.

But without the Lord's Name, the breath he draws is useless. ||3||

The fire of the five passions burns within him; how can he be calm?

The thief is within him; how can he taste the taste?

One who becomes Gurmukh conquers the body-fortress. ||4||

With filth within, he wanders around at places of pilgrimage.

His mind is not pure, so what is the use of performing ritual cleansings?

He carries the karma of his own past actions; who else can he blame? ||5||
