Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Siree Raag

O Nanak, may I never forget the Naam! Please bless me with Your Mercy, Lord! ||4||14||84||

Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:

"My body and my wealth; my ruling power, my beautiful form and country-mine!"

You may have children, a wife and many mistresses; you may enjoy all sorts of pleasures and fine clothes.

And yet, if the Name of the Lord does not abide within the heart, none of it has any use or value. ||1||

O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Always keep the Company of the Holy, and focus your consciousness on the Feet of the Guru. ||1||Pause||

Those who have such blessed destiny written on their foreheads meditate on the Treasure of the Naam.

All their affairs are brought to fruition, holding onto the Guru's Feet.

The diseases of ego and doubt are cast out; they shall not come and go in reincarnation. ||2||

Let the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, be your cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

Your soul, breath of life, mind and body shall blossom forth in lush profusion; this is the true purpose of life.

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 035

In this world you shall be blessed with greatness, and in the Court of the Lord you shall find your place of rest. ||3||

God Himself acts, and causes others to act; everything is in His Hands.

He Himself bestows life and death; He is with us, within and beyond.

Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of God, the Master of all hearts. ||4||15||85||

Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:

The Guru is Merciful; we seek the Sanctuary of God.

Through the Teachings of the True Guru, all worldly entanglements are eliminated.

The Name of the Lord is firmly implanted within my mind; through His Ambrosial Glance of Grace, I am exalted and enraptured. ||1||

O my mind, serve the True Guru.

God Himself grants His Grace; do not forget Him, even for an instant. ||Pause||

Continually sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, the Destroyer of demerits.

Without the Name of the Lord, there is no peace. Having tried all sorts of ostentatious displays, I have come to see this.

Intuitively imbued with His Praises, one is saved, crossing over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

The merits of pilgrimages, fasts and hundreds of thousands of techniques of austere self-discipline are found in the dust of the feet of the Holy.

From whom are you trying to hide your actions? God sees all;

He is Ever-present. My God is totally pervading all places and interspaces. ||3||

True is His Empire, and True is His Command. True is His Seat of True Authority.

True is the Creative Power which He has created. True is the world which He has fashioned.

O Nanak, chant the True Name; I am forever and ever a sacrifice to Him. ||4||16||86||
