My mind used to run around outside hunting.
But now, I have found the game within the home of my body-village. ||2||
I caught the deer and brought them home.
Dividing them up, I shared them, bit by bit. ||3||
God has given this gift.
Nanak's home is filled with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||4||
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
Even though he may be fed with hundreds of longings and yearnings,
still the faithless cynic does not remember the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||
Take in the teachings of the humble Saints.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall obtain the supreme status. ||1||Pause||
Stones may be kept under water for a long time.
Even so, they do not absorb the water; they remain hard and dry. ||2||
Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 013
The six Shaastras may be read to a fool,
but it is like the wind blowing in the ten directions. ||3||
It is like threshing a crop without any corn - nothing is gained.
In the same way, no benefit comes from the faithless cynic. ||4||
As the Lord attaches them, so are all attached.
Says Nanak, God has formed such a form. ||5||5||
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
He created the soul, the breath of life and the body.
He created all beings, and knows their pains. ||1||
The Guru, the Lord of the Universe, is the Helper of the soul.
Here and herafter, He always provides shade. ||1||Pause||
Worship and adoration of God is the pure way of life.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the love of duality vanishes. ||2||
Friends, well-wishers and wealth will not support you.
Blessed, blessed is my Lord. ||3||
Nanak utters the Ambrosial Bani of the Lord.
Except the One Lord, he does not know any other at all. ||4||6||
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
The Lord is in front of me, and the Lord is behind me.
My Beloved Lord, the Source of Nectar, is in the middle as well. ||1||
God is my Shaastra and my favorable omen.
In His Home and Mansion, I find peace, poise and bliss. ||1||Pause||
Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, with my tongue, and hearing it with my ears, I live.
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, I have become eternal, permanent and stable. ||2||
The pains of countless lifetimes have been erased.
The Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad, the Word of God, vibrates in the Court of the Lord. ||3||
Granting His Grace, God has blended me with Himself.
Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of God. ||4||7||
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
It brings millions of desires to fulfillment.
On the Path of Death, It will go with you and help you. ||1||
The Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe, is the holy water of the Ganges.
