Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

The Enjoyer enjoys each and every heart, and yet He remains detached from all. ||14||

Through the Guru's Teachings, chant the Pure Praises of the Lord.

Through the Guru's Teachings, behold the lofty Lord with your eyes.

Whoever listens to the Lord's Name, and the Word of His Bani, O Nanak, is imbued with the color of the Lord's Love. ||15||3||20||

Maaroo, First Mehl:

Leave behind sexual desire, anger and the slander of others.

Renounce greed and possessiveness, and become carefree.

Break the chains of doubt, and remain unattached; you shall find the Lord, and the Lord's sublime essence, deep within yourself. ||1||

As one sees the flash of lightning in the night,

see the Divine Light deep within your nucleus, day and night.

The Lord, the embodiment of bliss, incomparably beautiful, reveals the Perfect Guru. ||2||

So meet with the True Guru, and God Himself will save you.

He placed the lamps of the sun and the moon in the home of the sky.

See the invisible Lord, and remain absorbed in loving devotion. God is all throughout the three worlds. ||3||

Obtaining the sublime ambrosial essence, desire and fear are dispelled.

The state of inspired illumination is obtained, and self-conceit is eradicated.

The lofty and exalted state, the highest of the high is obtained, practicing the immaculate Word of the Shabad. ||4||

The Naam, the Name of the invisible and unfathomable Lord, is infinite.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 054

The sublime essence of the Beloved Naam is utterly sweet.

O Lord, please bless Nanak with Your Praise in each and every age; meditating on the Lord, I cannot find His limits. ||5||

With the Naam deep within the nucleus of the self, the jewel is obtained.

Meditating on the Lord, the mind is comforted and consoled by the mind itself.

On that most difficult path, the Destroyer of fear is found, and one does not have to enter the womb of reincarnation again. ||6||

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, inspiration for loving devotional worship wells up.

I beg for the treasure of the Naam, and the Lord's Praise.

When it pleases the Lord, He unites me in Union with the Guru; the Lord saves the whole world. ||7||

One who chants the Lord's Chant, attains the Wisdom of the True Guru.

The tyrant, the Messenger of Death, becomes a servant at his feet.

In the noble congregation of the Sangat, one's state and way of life become noble as well, and one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||8||

Through the Shabad, one crosses over this terrifying world-ocean.

The duality within is burnt away from within.

Taking up the five arrows of virtue, Death is killed, drawing the Bow of the Tenth Gate in the Mind's Sky. ||9||
