Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dhanaasaree

if he sees the Lord's Path within his own heart. ||3||

Meditating on the Lord's Feet, deep within his mind and body,

slave Nanak has found the Lord, the treasure of peace. ||4||2||56||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

The Guru's feet emancipate the soul.

They carry it across the world-ocean in an instant. ||1||Pause||

Some love rituals, and some bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

The Lord's slaves meditate on His Name. ||1||

The Lord Master is the Breaker of bonds.

Servant Nanak meditates in remembrance on the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||2||3||57||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

The lifestyle of Your slave is so pure, that nothing can break his love for You. ||1||Pause||

He is more dear to me than my soul, my breath of life, my mind and my wealth.

The Lord is the Giver, the Restrainer of the ego. ||1||

I am in love with the Lord's lotus feet.

This alone is Nanak's prayer. ||2||4||58||

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehl:

Why do you go looking for Him in the forest?

Although he is unattached, he dwells everywhere. He is always with you as your companion. ||1||Pause||

Like the fragrance which remains in the flower, and like the reflection in the mirror,

the Lord dwells deep within; search for Him within your own heart, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

Outside and inside, know that there is only the One Lord; the Guru has imparted this wisdom to me.

O servant Nanak, without knowing one's own self, the moss of doubt is not removed. ||2||1||

Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehl:

O Holy people, this world is deluded by doubt.

It has forsaken the meditative remembrance of the Lord's Name, and sold itself out to Maya. ||1||Pause||

Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse - he is entangled in their love.

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 026

In the pride of youth, wealth and glory, day and night, he remains intoxicated. ||1||

God is merciful to the meek, and forever the Destroyer of pain, but the mortal does not center his mind on Him.

O servant Nanak, among millions, only a rare few, as Gurmukh, realize God. ||2||2||

Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehl:

That Yogi does not know the way.

Understand that his heart is filled with greed, emotional attachment, Maya and egotism. ||1||Pause||

One who does not slander or praise others, who looks upon gold and iron alike,

who is free from pleasure and pain - he alone is called a true Yogi. ||1||

The restless mind wanders in the ten directions - it needs to be pacified and restrained.

Says Nanak, whoever knows this technique is judged to be liberated. ||2||3||

Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehl:

Now, what efforts should I make?
