Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

Those whom the Primal Lord unites, remain in Union with Him; they focus their consciousness on the True Guru.

Those whom the Lord Himself separates, remain separated; in the love of duality, they are ruined.

O Nanak, without good karma, what can anyone obtain? He earns what he is pre-destined to receive. ||2||

Pauree:

Sitting together, the companions sing the Songs of the Lord's Praises.

They praise the Lord's Name continually; they are a sacrifice to the Lord.

Those who hear, and believe in the Lord's Name, to them I am a sacrifice.

O Lord, let me unite with the Gurmukhs, who are united with You.

I am a sacrifice to those who, day and night, behold their Guru. ||8||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 052

Without the Name of the Lord, everyone wanders around the world, losing.

The self-willed manmukhs do their deeds in the pitch black darkness of egotism.

The Gurmukhs drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, O Nanak, contemplating the Word of the Shabad. ||1||

Third Mehl:

He wakes in peace, and he sleeps in peace.

The Gurmukh praises the Lord night and day.

The self-willed manmukh remains deluded by his doubts.

He is filled with anxiety, and he cannot even sleep.

The spiritually wise wake and sleep in peace.

Nanak is a sacrifice to those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

Pauree:

They alone meditate on the Lord's Name, who are imbued with the Lord.

They meditate on the One Lord; the One and Only Lord is True.

The One Lord is pervading everywhere; the One Lord created the Universe.

Those who meditate on the Lord's Name, cast out their fears.

The Lord Himself blesses them with Guru's Instruction; the Gurmukh meditates on the Lord. ||9||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Spiritual wisdom, which would bring understanding, does not enter into his mind.

Without seeing, how can he praise the Lord? The blind act in blindness.

O Nanak, when one realizes the Word of the Shabad, then the Naam comes to abide in the mind. ||1||

Third Mehl:

There is One Bani; there is One Guru; there is one Shabad to contemplate.

True is the merchandise, and true is the shop; the warehouses are overflowing with jewels.

By Guru's Grace, they are obtained, if the Great Giver gives them.

Dealing in this true merchandise, one earns the profit of the incomparable Naam.

In the midst of poison, the Ambrosial Nectar is revealed; by His Mercy, one drinks it in.

O Nanak, praise the True Lord; blessed is the Creator, the Embellisher. ||2||

Pauree:

Those who are permeated by falsehood, do not love the Truth.

If someone speaks the Truth, falsehood is burnt away.

The false are satisfied by falsehood, like the crows who eat manure.
