Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

O Nanak, the immaculate sound current of the Naad, and the Music of the Shabad resound; one merges into the True Name of the Lord. ||17||5||17||

Maaroo, First Mehl:

Wherever I look, I see the Lord, merciful to the meek.

God is compassionate; He does not come or go in reincarnation.

He pervades all beings in His mysterious way; the Sovereign Lord remains detached. ||1||

The world is a reflection of Him; He has no father or mother.

He has not acquired any sister or brother.

There is no creation or destruction for Him; He has no ancestry or social status. The Ageless Lord is pleasing to my mind. ||2||

You are the Deathless Primal Being. Death does not hover over Your head.

You are the unseen inaccessible and detached Primal Lord.

You are true and content; the Word of Your Shabad is cool and soothing. Through it, we are lovingly, intuitively attuned to You. ||3||

The three qualities are pervasive; the Lord dwells in His home, the fourth state.

He has made death and birth into a bite of food.

The immaculate Light is the Life of the whole world. The Guru reveals the unstruck melody of the Shabad. ||4||

Sublime and good are those humble Saints, the Beloveds of the Lord.

They are intoxicated with the sublime essence of the Lord, and are carried across to the other side.

Nanak is the dust of the Society of the Saints; by Guru's Grace, he finds the Lord. ||5||

You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. All beings belong to You.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 051

You are the Great Giver; I am Your slave.

Please be merciful and bless me with Your Ambrosial Naam, and the jewel, the lamp of the Guru's spiritual wisdom. ||6||

From the union of the five elements, this body was made.

Finding the Lord, the Supreme Soul, peace is established.

The good karma of past actions brings fruitful rewards, and man is blessed with the jewel of the Lord's Name. ||7||

His mind does not feel any hunger or thirst.

He knows the Immaculate Lord to be everywhere, in each and every heart.

Imbued with the Lord's Ambrosial essence, he becomes a pure, detached renunciate; he is lovingly absorbed in the Guru's Teachings. ||8||

Whoever does the deeds of the soul, day and night,

sees the immaculate Divine Light deep within.

Enraptured with the delightful essence of the Shabad, the source of nectar, my tongue plays the sweet music of the flute. ||9||

He alone plays the sweet music of this flute,

who knows the three worlds.

O Nanak, know this, through the Guru's Teachings, and lovingly focus yourself on the Lord's Name. ||10||

Rare are those beings in this world,

who contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and remain detached.
