Shalok, Second Mehl:

O Nanak, the blind man may go to appraise the jewels,

but he will not know their value; he will return home after exposing his ignorance. ||1||

Second Mehl:

The Jeweller has come, and opened up the bag of jewels.

The merchandise and the merchant are merged together.

They alone purchase the gem, O Nanak, who have virtue in their purse.

Those who do not appreciate the value of the jewels, wander like blind men in the world. ||2||

Pauree:

The fortress of the body has nine gates; the tenth gate is kept hidden.

The rigid door is not open; only through the Word of the Guru's Shabad can it be opened.

The unstruck sound current resounds and vibrates there. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is heard.

Deep within the nucleus of the heart, the Divine Light shines forth. Through devotional worship, one meets the Lord.

The One Lord is pervading and permeating all. He Himself created the creation. ||15||

Shalok, Second Mehl:

He is truly blind, who follows the way shown by the blind man.

O Nanak, why should the one who can see, get lost?

Do not call them blind, who have no eyes in their face.

They alone are blind, O Nanak, who wander away from their Lord and Master. ||1||

Second Mehl:

One whom the Lord has made blind - the Lord can make him see again.

He acts only as he knows, although he may be spoken to a hundred times.

Where the real thing is not seen, self-conceit prevails there - know this well.

O Nanak, how can the purshaser purchase the real thing, if he cannot recognize it? ||2||

Second Mehl:

How can someone be called blind, if he was made blind by the Lord's Command?

O Nanak, one who does not understand the Hukam of the Lord's Command should be called blind. ||3||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 080

Pauree:

Deep within the body is the fortress of the Lord, and all lands and countries.

He Himself sits in primal, profound Samaadhi; He Himself is all-pervading.

He Himself created the Universe, and He Himself remains hidden within it.

Serving the Guru, the Lord is known, and the Truth is revealed.

He is True, the Truest of the True; the Guru has imparted this understanding. ||16||

Shalok, First Mehl:

Night is the summer season, and day is the winter season; sexual desire and anger are the two fields planted.

Greed prepares the soil, and the seed of falsehood is planted; attachment and love are the farmer and hired hand.

Contemplation is the plow, and corruption is the harvest; this is what one earns and eats, according to the Hukam of the Lord's Command.

O Nanak, when one is called to give his account, he will be barren and infertile. ||1||
