Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

In hope, the renunciate remains free of hopes; in the home of his own inner self, he is absorbed in the trance of deep meditation.

He remains content, satisfied with the charity of the Naam; he drinks in the Ambrosial Amrit with ease. ||3||

There is no renunciation in duality, as long as there is even a particle of duality.

The whole world is Yours, Lord; You alone are the Giver. There is not any other, O Siblings of Destiny.

The self-willed manmukh dwells in misery forever, while the Lord bestows greatness upon the Gurmukh.

God is infinite, endless, inaccessible and unfathomable; His worth cannot be described. ||4||

The consciousness in deep Samaadhi, the Supreme Being, the Lord of the three worlds - these are Your Names, Lord.

The creatures born into this world have their destiny inscribed upon their foreheads; they experience according to their destinies.

The Lord Himself causes them to do good and bad deeds; He Himself makes them steadfast in devotional worship.

The filth of their mind and mouth is washed off when they live in the Fear of God; the inaccessible Lord Himself blesses them with spiritual wisdom. ||5||

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 041

Only those who taste it know its sweet taste, like the mute, who eats the candy, and only smiles.

How can I describe the indescribable, O Siblings of Destiny? I shall follow His Will forever.

If one meets with the Guru, the Generous Giver, then he understands; those who have no Guru cannot understand this.

As the Lord causes us to act, so do we act, O Siblings of Destiny. What other clever tricks can anyone try? ||6||

Some are deluded by doubt, while others are imbued with devotional worship; Your play is infinite and endless.

As You engage them, they receive the fruits of their rewards; You alone are the One who issues Your Commands.

I would serve You, if anything were my own; my soul and body are Yours.

One who meets with the True Guru, by His Grace, takes the Support of the Ambrosial Naam. ||7||

He dwells in the heavenly realms, and his virtues radiantly shine forth; meditation and spiritual wisdom are found in virtue.

The Naam is pleasing to his mind; he speaks it, and causes others to speak it as well. He speaks the essential essence of wisdom.

The Word of the Shabad is his Guru and spiritual teacher, profound and unfathomable; without the Shabad, the world is insane.

He is a perfect renunciate, naturally at ease, O Nanak, whose mind is pleased with the True Lord. ||8||1||

Sorat'h, First Mehl, Ti-Tukas:

Hope and desire are entrapments, O Siblings of Destiny. Religious rituals and ceremonies are traps.

Because of good and bad deeds, one is born into the world, O Siblings of Destiny; forgetting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he is ruined.
