Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

This inscription cannot be challenged. As it pleases You, You care for me.

By Your Glance of Grace, I have found peace; O Nanak, reflect upon the Shabad.

The self-willed manmukhs are confused; they rot away and die. Only by reflecting upon the Guru can they be saved.

What can anyone say, about that Primal Lord, who cannot be seen?

I am a sacrifice to my Guru, who has revealed Him to me, within my own heart. ||52||

That Pandit, that religious scholar, is said to be well-educated, if he contemplates knowledge with intuitive ease.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 063

Considering his knowledge, he finds the essence of reality, and lovingly focuses his attention on the Name of the Lord.

The self-willed manmukh sells his knowledge; he earns poison, and eats poison.

The fool does not think of the Word of the Shabad. He has no understanding, no comprehension. ||53||

That Pandit is called Gurmukh, who imparts understanding to his students.

Contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord; gather in the Naam, and earn the true profit in this world.

With the true notebook of the true mind, study the most sublime Word of the Shabad.

O Nanak, he alone is learned, and he alone is a wise Pandit, who wears the necklace of the Lord's Name. ||54||1||

Raamkalee, First Mehl, Sidh Gosht ~ Conversations With The Siddhas:

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

The Siddhas formed an assembly; sitting in their Yogic postures, they shouted, "Salute this gathering of Saints."

I offer my salutation to the One who is true, infinite and incomparably beautiful.

I cut off my head, and offer it to Him; I dedicate my body and mind to Him.

O Nanak, meeting with the Saints, Truth is obtained, and one is spontaneously blessed with distinction. ||1||

What is the use of wandering around? Purity comes only through Truth.

Without the True Word of the Shabad, no one finds liberation. ||1||Pause||

"Who are you? What is your name? What is your way? What is your goal?

We pray that you will answer us truthfully; we are a sacrifice to the humble Saints.

Where is your seat? Where do you live, boy? Where did you come from, and where are you going?

Tell us, Nanak - the detached Siddhas wait to hear your reply. What is your path?"||2||

He dwells deep within the nucleus of each and every heart. This is my seat and my home. I walk in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.

I came from the Celestial Lord God; I go wherever He orders me to go. I am Nanak, forever under the Command of His Will.

I sit in the posture of the eternal, imperishable Lord. These are the Teachings I have received from the Guru.

As Gurmukh, I have come to understand and realize myself; I merge in the Truest of the True. ||3||
