Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

By Your will, You preserve me, and so do I remain. The Gurmukh knows the One Lord. ||5||

According to Your Will, You link me to my true tasks.

Renouncing vice, I am immersed in virtue.

The One Immaculate True Lord abides in virtue; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is realized. ||6||

Wherever I look, there I see Him.

Duality and evil-mindedness are destroyed through the Shabad.

The One Lord God is immersed in His Oneness. He is attuned forever to His own delight. ||7||

The body-lotus is withering away,

but the ignorant, self-willed manmukh does not understand the Shabad.

By Guru's Grace, he searches his body, and finds the Great Giver, the Life of the world. ||8||

The Lord frees up the body-fortress, which was seized by sins,

when one keeps the Dear Lord enshrined forever in the heart.

The fruits of his desires are obtained, and he is dyed in the permanent color of the Lord's Love. ||9||

The self-willed manmukh speaks of spiritual wisdom, but does not understand.

Again and again, he comes into the world, but he finds no place of rest.

The Gurmukh is spiritually wise, and praises the Lord forever. Throughout each and every age, the Gurmukh knows the One Lord. ||10||

All the deeds which the manmukh does bring pain - nothing but pain.

The Word of the Shabad is not within him; how can he go to the Court of the Lord?

The True Shabad dwells deep within the mind of the Gurmukh; he serves the Giver of peace forever. ||11||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 064

Wherever I look, I see You, everywhere.

Through the Perfect Guru, all this is known.

I meditate forever and ever on the Naam; this mind is imbued with the Naam. ||12||

Imbued with the Naam, the body is sanctified.

Without the Naam, they are drowned and die without water.

They come and go, but do not understand the Naam. Some, as Gurmukh, realize the Word of the Shabad. ||13||

The Perfect True Guru has imparted this understanding.

Without the Name, no one attains liberation.

Through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one is blessed with glorious greatness; he remains intuitively attuned to the Lord's Love. ||14||

The body-village crumbles and collapses into a pile of dust.

Without the Shabad, the cycle of reincarnation is not brought to an end.

One who knows the One Lord, through the True Guru, praises the True Lord, and remains immersed in the True Lord. ||15||

The True Word of the Shabad comes to dwell in the mind, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace.

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Formless Lord, realize the True Lord in His True Court. ||16||8||

Maaroo, Solhay, Third Mehl:

O Creator, it is You Yourself who does all.

All beings and creatures are under Your Protection.
