Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

One who has Truth within his heart - his body and mind are also true.

O Nanak, if one submits to the Hukam, the Command of the True Lord God, he is blessed with true glory and greatness.

He is immersed and merged in the True Lord, who blesses him with His Glance of Grace. ||2||

Pauree:

They are not called heroes, who die of egotism, suffering in pain.

The blind ones do not realize their own selves; in the love of duality, they rot.

They struggle with great anger; here and hereafter, they suffer in pain.

The Dear Lord is not pleased by egotism; the Vedas proclaim this clearly.

Those who die of egotism, shall not find salvation. They die, and are reborn in reincarnation. ||9||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

The crow does not become white, and an iron boat does not float across.

One who puts his faith in the treasure of his Beloved Lord is blessed; he exalts and embellishes others as well.

One who realizes the Hukam of God's Command - his face is radiant and bright; he floats across, like iron upon wood.

Forsake thirst and desire, and abide in the Fear of God; O Nanak, these are the most excellent actions. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The ignorant people who go to the desert to conquer their minds, are not able to conquer them.

O Nanak, if this mind is to be conquered, one must contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

This mind is not conquered by conquering it, even though everyone longs to do so.

O Nanak, the mind itself conquers the mind, if one meets with the True Guru. ||2||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 102

Pauree:

He created both sides; Shiva dwells within Shakti (the soul dwells within the material universe).

Through the material universe of Shakti, no one has ever found the Lord; they continue to be born and die in reincarnation.

Serving the Guru, peace is found, meditating on the Lord with every breath and morsel of food.

Searching and looking through the Simritees and the Shaastras, I have found that the most sublime person is the slave of the Lord.

O Nanak, without the Naam, nothing is permanent and stable; I am a sacrifice to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||10||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

I might become a Pandit, a religious scholar, or an astrologer, and recite the four Vedas with my mouth;

I might be worshipped throughout the nine regions of the earth for my wisdom and thought;

let me not forget the Word of Truth, that no one can touch my sacred cooking square.

Such cooking squares are false, O Nanak; only the One Lord is True. ||1||

Third Mehl:

He Himself creates and He Himself acts; He bestows His Glance of Grace.

He Himself grants glorious greatness; says Nanak, He is the True Lord. ||2||

Pauree:

Only death is painful; I cannot conceive of anything else as painful.
