and no one will satisfy your hopes and desires, and none of your works is accomplished

-if you then come to remember the Supreme Lord God, you shall obtain the eternal kingdom. ||2||

When you are plagued by great and excessive anxiety, and diseases of the body;

when you are wrapped up in the attachments of household and family, sometimes feeling joy, and then other times sorrow;

when you are wandering around in all four directions, and you cannot sit or sleep even for a moment

-if you come to remember the Supreme Lord God, then your body and mind shall be cooled and soothed. ||3||

When you are under the power of sexual desire, anger and worldly attachment, or a greedy miser in love with your wealth;

if you have committed the four great sins and other mistakes; even if you are a murderous fiend

who has never taken the time to listen to sacred books, hymns and poetry

-if you then come to remember the Supreme Lord God, and contemplate Him, even for a moment, you shall be saved. ||4||

People may recite by heart the Shaastras, the Simritees and the four Vedas;

they may be ascetics, great, self-disciplined Yogis; they may visit sacred shrines of pilgrimage

and perform the six ceremonial rituals, over and over again, performing worship services and ritual bathings.

Even so, if they have not embraced love for the Supreme Lord God, then they shall surely go to hell. ||5||

You may possess empires, vast estates, authority over others, and the enjoyment of myriads of pleasures;

you may have delightful and beautiful gardens, and issue unquestioned commands;

you may have enjoyments and entertainments of all sorts and kinds, and continue to enjoy exciting pleasures

-and yet, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, you shall be reincarnated as a snake. ||6||

You may possess vast riches, maintain virtuous conduct, have a spotless reputation and observe religious customs;

you may have the loving affections of mother, father, children, siblings and friends;

you may have armies well-equipped with weapons, and all may salute you with respect;

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 058

But still, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, then you shall be taken and consigned to the most hideous hell! ||7||

You may have a body free of disease and deformity, and have no worries or grief at all;

you may be unmindful of death, and night and day revel in pleasures;

you may take everything as your own, and have no fear in your mind at all;

but still, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, you shall fall under the power of the Messenger of Death. ||8||

The Supreme Lord showers His Mercy, and we find the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

The more time we spend there, the more we come to love the Lord.
