Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

Taking out my eyes, I place them at Your Feet; after travelling over the entire earth, I have come to understand this. ||7||

If You seat me near You, then I worship and adore You. Even if You beat me and drive me out, I will still meditate on You. ||8||

If people praise me, the praise is Yours. Even if they slander me, I will not leave You. ||9||

If You are on my side, then anyone can say anything. But if I were to forget You, then I would die. ||10||

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru; falling at His Feet, I surrender to the Saintly Guru. ||11||

Poor Nanak has gone insane, longing for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||12||

Even in violent storms and torrential rain, I go out to catch a glimpse of my Guru. ||13||

Even though the oceans and the salty seas are very vast, the GurSikh will cross over it to get to his Guru. ||14||

Just as the mortal dies without water, so does the Sikh die without the Guru. ||15||

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 031

Just as the earth looks beautiful when the rain falls, so does the Sikh blossom forth meeting the Guru. ||16||

I long to be the servant of Your servants; I call upon You reverently in prayer. ||17||

Nanak offers this prayer to the Lord, that he may meet the Guru, and find peace. ||18||

You Yourself are the Guru, and You Yourself are the chaylaa, the disciple; through the Guru, I meditate on You. ||19||

Those who serve You, become You. You preserve the honor of Your servants. ||20||

O Lord, Your devotional worship is a treasure over-flowing. One who loves You, is blessed with it. ||21||

That humble being alone receives it, unto whom You bestow it. All other clever tricks are fruitless. ||22||

Remembering, remembering, remembering my Guru in meditation, my sleeping mind is awakened. ||23||

Poor Nanak begs for this one blessing, that he may become the slave of the slaves of the Lord. ||24||

Even if the Guru rebukes me, He still seems very sweet to me. And if He actually forgives me, that is the Guru's greatness. ||25||

That which Gurmukh speaks is certified and approved. Whatever the self-willed manmukh says is not accepted. ||26||

Even in the cold, the frost and the snow, the GurSikh still goes out to see his Guru. ||27||

All day and night, I gaze upon my Guru; I install the Guru's Feet in my eyes. ||28||

I make so many efforts for the sake of the Guru; only that which pleases the Guru is accepted and approved. ||29||

Night and day, I worship the Guru's Feet in adoration; have Mercy upon me, O my Lord and Master. ||30||

The Guru is Nanak's body and soul; meeting the Guru, he is satisfied and satiated. ||31||

Nanak's God is perfectly permeating and all-pervading. Here and there and everywhere, the Lord of the Universe. ||32||1||
