Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bhairao

Sexual desire, anger, intoxication, egotism, slander and egotistical pride are eradicted in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

By great good fortune, such Saints are met. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to them. ||2||39||52||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

One who harbors the five thieves, becomes the embodiment of these five.

He gets up each day and tells lies.

He applies ceremonial religious marks to his body, but practices hypocrisy.

He wastes away in sadness and pain, like a lonely widow. ||1||

Without the Name of the Lord, everything is false.

Without the Perfect Guru, liberation is not obtained. In the Court of the True Lord, the faithless cynic is plundered. ||1||Pause||

One who does not know the Lord's Creative Power is polluted.

Ritualistically plastering one's kitchen square does not make it pure in the Eyes of the Lord.

If a person is polluted within, he may wash himself everyday on the outside,

but in the Court of the True Lord, he forfeits his honor. ||2||

He works for the sake of Maya,

but he never places his feet on the right path.

He never even remembers the One who created him.

He speaks falsehood, only falsehood, with his mouth. ||3||

That person, unto whom the Creator Lord shows Mercy,

deals with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

One who lovingly worships the Lord's Name,

says Nanak - no obstacles ever block his way. ||4||40||53||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

The entire universe curses the slanderer.

False are the dealings of the slanderer.

The slanderer's lifestyle is filthy and polluted.

The Lord is the Saving Grace and the Protector of His slave. ||1||

The slanderer dies with the rest of the slanderers.

The Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord, protects and saves His humble servant. Death roars and thunders over the head of the slanderer. ||1||Pause||

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 028

No one belives what the slanderer says.

The slanderer tells lies, and later regrets and repents.

He wrings his hands, and hits his head against the ground.

The Lord does not forgive the slanderer. ||2||

The Lord's slave does not wish anyone ill.

The slanderer suffers, as if stabbed by a spear.

Like a crane, he spreads his feathers, to look like a swan.

When he speaks with his mouth, then he is exposed and driven out. ||3||

The Creator is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

That person, whom the Lord makes His Own, becomes stable and steady.

The Lord's slave is true in the Court of the Lord.

Servant Nanak speaks, after contemplating the essence of reality. ||4||41||54||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

With my palms pressed together, I offer this prayer.

My soul, body and wealth are His property.
