Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Raamkalee

No matter how much one may long for it, without the karma of good actions, it cannot be found.

Those whose inner beings are filled with greed and corruption, are ruined through the love of duality.

The cycle of birth and death is not ended, and filled with egotism, they suffer in pain.

Those who focus their consciousness on the True Guru, do not remain unfulfilled.

They are not summoned by the Messenger of Death, and they do not suffer in pain.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh is saved, merging in the True Word of the Shabad. ||3||

Pauree:

He Himself remains unattached forever; all others run after worldly affairs.

He Himself is eternal, unchanging and unmoving; the others continue coming and going in reincarnation.

Meditating on the Lord forever and ever, the Gurmukh finds peace.

He dwells in the home of his own inner being, absorbed in the Praise of the True Lord.

The True Lord is profound and unfathomable; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is understood. ||8||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Meditate on the True Name; the True Lord is all-pervading.

O Nanak, one who realizes the Hukam of the Lord's Command, obtains the fruit of Truth.

One who merely mouths the words, does not understand the Hukam of the True Lord's Command.

O Nanak, one who accepts the Will of the Lord is His devotee. Without accepting it, he is the falsest of the false. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The self-willed manmukhs do not know what they are saying. They are filled with sexual desire, anger and egotism.

They do not understand right places and wrong places; they are filled with greed and corruption.

They come, and sit and talk for their own purposes. The Messenger of Death strikes them down.

Hereafter, they are called to account in the Court of the Lord; the false ones are struck down and humiliated.

How can this filth of falsehood be washed off? Can anyone think about this, and find the way?

If one meets with the True Guru, He implants the Naam, the Name of the Lord within; all his sins are destroyed.

Let all bow in humility to that humble being who chants the Naam, and worships the Naam in adoration.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 076

The Naam washes off the filth of falsehood; chanting the Naam, one becomes truthful.

O servant Nanak, wondrous are the plays of the Lord, the Giver of life. ||2||

Pauree:

You are the Great Giver; no other is as great as You. Unto whom should I speak and talk?

By Guru's Grace, I find You; You eradicate egotism from within.

You are beyond sweet and salty flavors; True is Your glorious greatness.

You bless those whom You forgive, and unite them with Yourself.

You have placed the Ambrosial Nectar deep within the heart; the Gurmukh drinks it in. ||9||
