Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Saarang

With faith in the Name, those who hear it are saved; let your tongue delight in it.

With faith in the Name, pain and hunger are dispelled; let your consciousness be attached to the Name.

O Nanak, they alone Praise the Name, who meet with the Guru. ||10||

Shalok, First Mehl:

All nights, all days, all dates, all days of the week;

All seasons, all months, all the earth and everything on it.

All waters, all winds, all fires and underworlds.

All solar systems and galaxies, all worlds, people and forms.

No one knows how great the Hukam of His Command is; no one can describe His actions.

Mortals may utter, chant, recite and contemplate His Praises until they grow weary.

The poor fools, O Nanak, cannot find even a tiny bit of the Lord. ||1||

First Mehl:

If I were to walk around with my eyes wide open, gazing at all the created forms;

I could ask the spiritual teachers and religious scholars, and those who contemplate the Vedas;

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 046

I could ask the gods, mortal men, warriors and divine incarnations;

I could consult all the Siddhas in Samaadhi, and go to see the Lord's Court.

Hereafter, Truth is the Name of all; the Fearless Lord has no fear at all.

False are other intellectualisms, false and shallow; blind are the contemplations of the blind.

O Nanak, by the karma of good actions, the mortal comes to meditate on the Lord; by His Grace, we are carried across. ||2||

Pauree:

With faith in the Name, evil-mindedness is eradicated, and the intellect is enlightened.

With faith in the Name, egotism is eradicated, and all sickness is cured.

Believing in the Name, The Name wells up, and intuitive peace and poise are obtained.

Believing in the Name, tranquility and peace well up, and the Lord is enshrined in the mind.

O Nanak, the Name is a jewel; the Gurmukh meditates on the Lord. ||11||

Shalok, First Mehl:

If there were any other equal to You, O Lord, I would speak to them of You.

You, I praise You; I am blind, but through the Name, I am all-seeing.

Whatever is spoken, is the Word of the Shabad. Chanting it with love, we are embellished.

Nanak, this is the greatest thing to say: all glorious greatness is Yours. ||1||

First Mehl:

When there was nothing, what happened? What happens when one is born?

The Creator, the Doer, does all; He watches over all, again and again

. Whether we keep silent or beg out loud, the Great Giver blesses us with His gifts.

The One Lord is the Giver; we are all beggars. I have seen this throughout the Universe.

Nanak knows this: the Great Giver lives forever. ||2||

Pauree:

With faith in the Name, intuitive awareness wells up; through the Name, intelligence comes.
