Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Maaroo

He Himself knows, He Himself acts, and He Himself does it right.

So stand before Him, O Nanak, and offer your prayers. ||1||

First Mehl:

He who created the creation, watches over it; He Himself knows.

Unto whom should I speak, O Nanak, when everything is contained within the home of the heart? ||2||

Pauree:

Forget everything, and be friends with the One Lord alone.

Your mind and body shall be enraptured, and the Lord shall burn away your sins.

Your comings and goings in reincarnation shall cease; you shall not be reborn and die again.

The True Name shall be your Support, and you shall not burn in sorrow and attachment.

O Nanak, gather in the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your mind. ||20||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

You do not forget Maya from your mind; you beg for it with each and every breath.

You do not even think of that God; O Nanak, it is not in your karma. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

Maya and its wealth shall not go along with you, so why do you cling to it - are you blind?

Meditate on the Guru's Feet, and the bonds of Maya shall be cut away from you. ||2||

Pauree:

By the Pleasure of His Will, the Lord inspires us to obey the Hukam of His Command; by the Pleasure of His Will, we find peace.

By the Pleasure of His Will, He leads us to meet the True Guru; by the Pleasure of His Will, we meditate on the Truth.

There is no other gift as great as the Pleasure of His Will; this Truth is spoken and proclaimed.

Those who have such pre-ordained destiny, practice and live the Truth.

Nanak has entered His Sanctuary; He created the world. ||21||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Those who do not have spiritual wisdom within, do not have even an iota of the Fear of God.

O Nanak, why kill those who are already dead? The Lord of the Universe Himself has killed them. ||1||

Third Mehl:

To read the horoscope of the mind, is the most sublime joyful peace.

He alone is called a good Brahmin, who understands God in contemplative meditation.

He praises the Lord, and reads of the Lord, and contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 106

Celebrated and approved is the coming into the world of such a person, who saves all his generations as well.

Hereafter, no one is questioned about social status; excellent and sublime is the practice of the Word of the Shabad.

Other study is false, and other actions are false; such people are in love with poison.

They do not find any peace within themselves; the self-willed manmukhs waste away their lives.

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam are saved; they have infinite love for the Guru. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself creates the creation, and gazes upon it; He Himself is totally True.
