Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

Prays Nanak, I celebrate continuously; I have met my Husband Lord, the Lord of excellence. ||7||

Shalok:

The Saints are the helpers, the support of the soul; they carry us cross the terrifying world-ocean.

Know that they are the highest of all; O Nanak, they love the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

Those who know Him, cross over; they are the brave heroes, the heroic warriors.

Nanak is a sacrifice to those who meditate on the Lord, and cross over to the other shore. ||2||

Chhant:

His feet are exalted above all. They eradicate all suffering.

They destroy the pains of coming and going. They bring loving devotion to the Lord.

Imbued with the Lord's Love, one is intoxicated with intuitive peace and poise, and does not forget the Lord from his mind, even for an instant.

Shedding my self-conceit, I have entered the Sanctuary of His Feet; all virtues rest in the Lord of the Universe.

I bow in humility to the Lord of the Universe, the treasure of virtue, the Lord of excellence, our Primal Lord and Master.

Prays Nanak, shower me with Your Mercy, Lord; throughout the ages, You take the same form. ||8||1||6||8||

Raamkalee, First Mehl, Dakhanee, Ongkaar:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

From Ongkaar, the One Universal Creator God, Brahma was created.

He kept Ongkaar in his consciousness.

From Ongkaar, the mountains and the ages were created.

Ongkaar created the Vedas.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 055

Ongkaar saves the world through the Shabad.

Ongkaar saves the Gurmukhs.

Listen to the Message of the Universal, Imperishable Creator Lord.

The Universal, Imperishable Creator Lord is the essence of the three worlds. ||1||

Listen, O Pandit, O religious scholar, why are you writing about worldly debates?

As Gurmukh, write only the Name of the Lord, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

Sassa: He created the entire universe with ease; His One Light pervades the three worlds.

Become Gurmukh, and obtain the real thing; gather the gems and pearls.

If one understands, realizes and comprehends what he reads and studies, in the end he shall realize that the True Lord dwells deep within his nucleus.

The Gurmukh sees and contemplates the True Lord; without the True Lord, the world is false. ||2||

Dhadha: Those who enshrine Dharmic faith and dwell in the City of Dharma are worthy; their minds are steadfast and stable.

Dhadha: If the dust of their feet touches one's face and forehead, he is transformed from iron into gold.

Blessed is the Support of the Earth; He Himself is not born; His measure and speech are perfect and True.

Only the Creator Himself knows His own extent; He alone knows the Brave Guru. ||3||
