Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

Join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and meditate on the Lord, Har, Har; you shall not have to come and go in reincarnation again. ||Pause||

The Beloved Himself pervades His Glorious Praises, and He Himself approves them.

The Beloved Himself grants His forgiveness, and He Himself bestows the Insignia of Truth.

The Beloved Himself obeys His Will, and He Himself issues His Command. ||2||

The Beloved Himself is the treasure of devotion; He Himself gives His gifts.

The Beloved Himself commits some to His service, and He Himself blesses them with honor.

The Beloved Himself is absorbed in Samaadhi; He Himself is the treasure of excellence. ||3||

The Beloved Himself is the greatest; He Himself is supreme.

The Beloved Himself appraises the value; He Himself is the scale, and the weights.

The Beloved Himself is unweighable - He weighs Himself; servant Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. ||4||5||

Sorat'h, Fourth Mehl:

The Beloved Himself commits some to His service; He Himself blesses them with the joy of devotional worship.

The Beloved Himself causes us to sing His Glorious Praises; He Himself is absorbed in the Word of His Shabad.

He Himself is the pen, and He Himself is the scribe; He Himself inscribes His inscription. ||1||

O my mind, joyfully chant the Name of the Lord.

Those very fortunate ones are in ecstasy night and day; through the Perfect Guru, they obtain the profit of the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

The Beloved Himself is the milk-maid and Krishna; He Himself herds the cows in the woods.

The Beloved Himself is the blue-skinned, handsome one; He Himself plays on His flute.

The Beloved Himself took the form of a child, and destroyed Kuwalia-peer, the mad elephant. ||2||

The Beloved Himself sets the stage; He performs the plays, and He Himself watches them.

The Beloved Himself assumed the form of the child, and killed the demons Chandoor, Kansa and Kaysee.

The Beloved Himself, by Himself, is the embodiment of power; He shatters the power of the fools and idiots. ||3||

The Beloved Himself created the whole world. In His hands He holds the power of the ages.

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 013

The Beloved Himself puts the chains around their necks; as God pulls them, must they go.

Whoever harbors pride shall be destroyed, O Beloved; meditating on the Lord, Nanak is absorbed in devotional worship. ||4||6||

Sorat'h, Fourth Mehl, Du-Tukas:

Separated from the Lord for countless lifetimes, the self-willed manmukh suffers in pain, engaged in acts of egotism.

Beholding the Holy Saint, I found God; O Lord of the Universe, I seek Your Sanctuary. ||1||

The Love of God is very dear to me.

When I joined the Sat Sangat, the Company of the Holy People, the Lord, the embodiment of peace, came into my heart. ||Pause||
