The body-bride is eternally beautiful; the Gurmukh contemplates the Naam. ||2||

The Lord Himself dwells within the body; He is invisible and cannot be seen.

The foolish self-willed manmukh does not understand; he goes out searching for the Lord externally.

One who serves the True Guru is always at peace; the True Guru has shown me the Invisible Lord. ||3||

Within the body there are jewels and precious treasures, the over-flowing treasure of devotion.

Within this body are the nine continents of the earth, its markets, cities and streets.

Within this body are the nine treasures of the Naam; contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is obtained. ||4||

Within the body, the Lord estimates the weight; He Himself is the weigher.

This mind is the jewel, the gem, the diamond; it is absolutely priceless.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, cannot be purchased at any price; the Naam is obtained by contemplating the Guru. ||5||

One who becomes Gurmukh searches this body; all others just wander around in confusion.

That humble being alone obtains it, unto whom the Lord bestows it. What other clever tricks can anyone try?

Within the body, the Fear of God and Love for Him abides; by Guru's Grace, they are obtained. ||6||

Within the body, are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, from whom the whole world emanated.

The True Lord has staged and contrived His own play; the expanse of the Universe comes and goes.

The Perfect True Guru Himself has made it clear, that emancipation comes through the True Name. ||7||

That body, which serves the True Guru, is embellished by the True Lord Himself.

Without the Name, the mortal finds no place of rest in the Court of the Lord; he shall be tortured by the Messenger of Death.

O Nanak, true glory is bestowed, when the Lord showers His Mercy. ||8||2||

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 028

Raag Soohee, Third Mehl, Tenth House:

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

Do not praise the world; it shall simply pass away.

Do not praise other people; they shall die and turn to dust. ||1||

Waaho! Waaho! Hail, hail to my Lord and Master.

As Gurmukh, forever praise the One who is forever True, Independent and Carefree. ||1||Pause||

Making worldly friendships, the self-willed manmukhs burn and die.

In the City of Death, they are bound and gagged and beaten; this opportunity shall never come again. ||2||

The lives of the Gurmukhs are fruitful and blessed; they are committed to the True Word of the Shabad.

Their souls are illuminated by the Lord, and they dwell in peace and pleasure. ||3||

Those who forget the Word of the Guru's Shabad are engrossed in the love of duality.

Their hunger and thirst never leave them, and night and day, they wander around burning. ||4||
