Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

He alone is holy, a Saint, a truly wise person, who is accepted by the Dear Lord.

Prays Nanak, they alone realize You, unto whom You show Mercy. ||3||

I am unworthy and without any master; I seek Your Sanctuary, Lord.

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Divine Guru, who has implanted the Naam within me.

The Guru blessed me with the Naam; happiness came, and all my desires were fulfilled.

The fire of desire has been quenched, and peace and tranquility have come; after such a long separation, I have met my Lord again.

I have found ecstasy, pleasure and true intuitive poise, singing the great glories, the song of bliss of the Lord.

Prays Nanak, I have obtained the Name of God from the Perfect Guru. ||4||2||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Rise early each morning, and with the Saints, sing the melodious harmony, the unstruck sound current of the Shabad.

All sins and sufferings are erased, chanting the Lord's Name, under Guru's Instructions.

Dwell upon the Lord's Name, and drink in the Nectar; day and night, worship and adore Him.

The merits of Yoga, charity and religious rituals are obtained by grasping His lotus feet.

Loving devotion to the merciful, enticing Lord takes away all pain.

Prays Nanak, cross over the world-ocean, meditating on the Lord, your Lord and Master. ||1||

Meditation on the Lord of the Universe is an ocean of peace; Your devotees sing Your Glorious Praises, Lord.

Ecstasy, bliss and great happiness are obtained by grasping hold of the Guru's feet.

Meeting with the treasure of peace, their pains are taken away; granting His Grace, God protects them.

Those who grasp the Lord's feet - their fears and doubts run away, and they chant the Name of the Lord.

He thinks of the One Lord, and he sings of the One God; he gazes upon the One Lord alone.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 051

Prays Nanak, God has granted His Grace, and I have found the Perfect True Guru. ||2||

Meet with the holy, humble servants of God; meeting with the Lord, listen to the Kirtan of His Praises.

God is the Merciful Master, the Lord of wealth; there is no end to His Virtues.

The Merciful Lord is the Dispeller of pain, the Giver of Sanctuary, the Eradicator of all evil.

Emotional attachment, sorrow, corruption and pain - chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one is saved from these.

All beings are Yours, O my God; bless me with Your Mercy, that I may become the dust under the feet of all men.

Prays Nanak, O God, be kind to me, that I may chant Your Name, and live. ||3||

God saves His humble devotees, attaching them to His feet.

Twenty-four hours a day, they meditate in remembrance on their God; they meditae on the One Name.
