Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bhairao

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.
