Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

Among the ragas, Kaydaaraa Raga is known as good, O Siblings of Destiny, if through it, one comes to love the Word of the Shabad,

and if one remains in the Soceity of the Saints, and enshrines love for the True Lord.

Such a person washes away the pollution from within, and saves his generations as well.

He gathes in the capital of virtue, and destroys and drives out unvirtuous sins.

O Nanak, he alone is known as united, who does not forsake his Guru, and who does not love duality. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

Gazing upon the world-ocean, I am afraid of death; but if I live in the Fear of You, God, then I am not afraid.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I am content; O Nanak, I blossom forth in the Name. ||2||

Fourth Mehl:

I get on board the boat and set out, but the ocean is churning with waves.

The boat of Truth encounters no obstruction, if the Guru gives encouragement.

He takes us across to the door on the other side, as the Guru keeps watch.

O Nanak, if I am blessed with His Grace, I shall go to His Court with honor. ||3||

Pauree:

Enjoy your kingdom of bliss; as Gurmukh, practice Truth.

Sitting upon the throne of Truth, the Lord administers justice; He unites us in Union with the Society of the Saints.

Meditating on the Lord, through the True Teachings, we become just like the Lord.

If the Lord, the Giver of peace, abides in the mind, in this world, then in the end, He becomes our help and support.

Love for the Lord wells up, when the Guru imparts understanding. ||2||

Shalok, First Mehl:

Confused and deluded, I wander around, but no one shows me the way.

I go and ask the clever people, if there is there anyone who can rid me of my pain.

If the True Guru abides within my mind, then I see the Lord, my best friend, there.

O Nanak, my mind is satisfied and fulfilled, contemplating the Praises of the True Name. ||1||

Third Mehl:

He Himself is the Doer, and He is the deed; He Himself issues the Command.

He Himself forgives some, and He Himself does the deed.

O Nanak, receiving the Divine Light from the Guru, suffering and corruption are burnt away, through the Name. ||2||

Pauree:

Don't be fooled by gazing at the riches of Maya, you foolish self-willed manmukh.

It shall not go along with you when you must depart; all the wealth you see is false.

The blind and ignorant do not understand, that the sword of death is hanging over their heads.

By Guru's Grace, those who drink in the sublime essence of the Lord are saved.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 100

He Himself is the Doer, and He Himself is the Cause; the Lord Himself is our Saving Grace. ||3||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Those who do not meet with the Guru, who have no Fear of God at all,
