Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Sorat'h

When the Lord grants His Grace, then one meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

As Gurmukh, worship the Lord's Name in adoration; fraud and sin shall disappear. ||10||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

O Shaykh, you wander in the four directions, blown by the four winds; bring your mind back to the home of the One Lord.

Renounce your petty arguments, and realize the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Bow in humble respect before the True Guru; He is the Knower who knows everything.

Burn away your hopes and desires, and live like a guest in this world.

If you walk in harmony with the True Guru's Will, then you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord.

O Nanak, those who do not contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord - cursed are their clothes, and cursed is their food. ||1||

Third Mehl:

There is no end to the Lord's Glorious Praises; His worth cannot be described.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord; they are absorbed in His Glorious Virtues. ||2||

Pauree:

The Lord has adorned the coat of the body; He has embroidered it with devotional worship.

The Lord has woven His silk into it, in so many ways and fashions.

How rare is that man of understanding, who understands, and deliberates within.

He alone understands these deliberations, whom the Lord Himself inspires to understand.

Poor servant Nanak speaks: the Gurmukhs know the Lord, the Lord is True. ||11||

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 053

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Great men speak the teachings by relating them to individual situations, but the whole world shares in them.

One who becomes Gurmukh knows the Fear of God, and realizes his own self.

If, by Guru's Grace, one remains dead while yet alive, the mind becomes content in itself.

Those who have no faith in their own minds, O Nanak - how can they speak of spiritual wisdom? ||1||

Third Mehl:

Those who do not focus their consciousness on the Lord, as Gurmukh, suffer pain and grief in the end.

They are blind, inwardly and outwardly, and they do not understand anything.

O Pandit, O religious scholar, the whole world is fed for the sake of those who are attuned to the Lord's Name.

Those who praise the Word of the Guru's Shabad, remain blended with the Lord.

O Pandit, O religious scholar, no one is satisfied, and no one finds true wealth through the love of duality.

They have grown weary of reading scriptures, but still, they do not find contentment, and they pass their lives burning, night and day.

Their cries and complaints never end, and doubt does not depart from within them.

O Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they rise up and depart with blackened faces. ||2||
