The True Lord is pervading and permeating each and every heart.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 069

The hidden Bani of the Word is revealed.

O Nanak, the True Lord is revealed and known. ||53||

Meeting with the Lord through intuition and love, peace is found.

The Gurmukh remains awake and aware; he does not fall sleep.

He enshrines the unlimited, absolute Shabad deep within.

Chanting the Shabad, he is liberated, and saves others as well.

Those who practice the Guru's Teachings are attuned to the Truth.

O Nanak, those who eradicate their self-conceit meet with the Lord; they do not remain separated by doubt. ||54||

"Where is that place, where evil thoughts are destroyed?

The mortal does not understand the essence of reality; why must he suffer in pain?"

No one can save one who is tied up at Death's door.

Without the Shabad, no one has any credit or honor.

"How can one obtain understanding and cross over?"

O Nanak, the foolish self-willed manmukh does not understand. ||55||

Evil thoughts are erased, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Meeting with the True Guru, the door of liberation is found.

The self-willed manmukh does not understand the essence of reality, and is burnt to ashes.

His evil-mindedness separates him from the Lord, and he suffers.

Accepting the Hukam of the Lord's Command, he is blessed with all virtues and spiritual wisdom.

O Nanak, he is honored in the Court of the Lord. ||56||

One who possesses the merchandise, the wealth of the True Name,

crosses over, and carries others across with him as well.

One who intuitively understands, and is attuned to the Lord, is honored.

No one can estimate his worth.

Wherever I look, I see the Lord permeating and pervading.

O Nanak, through the Love of the True Lord, one crosses over. ||57||

"Where is the Shabad said to dwell? What will carry us across the terrifying world-ocean?

The breath, when exhaled, extends out ten finger lengths; what is the support of the breath?

Speaking and playing, how can one be stable and steady? How can the unseen be seen?"

Listen, O master; Nanak prays truly. Instruct your own mind.

The Gurmukh is lovingly attuned to the True Shabad. Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He unites us in His Union.

He Himself is all-knowing and all-seeing. By perfect destiny, we merge in Him. ||58||

That Shabad dwells deep within the nucleus of all beings. God is invisible; wherever I look, there I see Him.

The air is the dwelling place of the absolute Lord. He has no qualities; He has all qualities.

When He bestows His Glance of Grace, the Shabad comes to abide within the heart, and doubt is eradicated from within.
