Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

They worship the Lord in devotion, and eradicate self-conceit from within themselves; they understand merits and demerits.

They understand merits and demerits, and chant the Lord's Name; devotional worship is sweet to them.

Night and day, they perform devotional worship, day and night, and in the home of the self, they remain detached.

Imbued with devotion, their minds remain forever immaculate and pure; they see their Dear Lord always with them.

O Nanak, those devotees are True in the Court of the Lord; night and day, they dwell upon the Naam. ||2||

The self-willed manmukhs practice devotional rituals without the True Guru, but without the True Guru, there is no devotion.

They are afflicted with the diseases of egotism and Maya, and they suffer the pains of death and rebirth.

The world suffers the pains of death and rebirth, and through the love of duality, it is ruined; without the Guru, the essence of reality is not known.

Without devotional worship, everyone in the world is deluded and confused, and in the end, they depart with regrets.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 042

Among millions, there is scarcely one who realizes the Name of the True Lord.

O Nanak, through the Naam, greatness is obtained; in the love of duality, all honor is lost. ||3||

In the home of the devotees, is the joy of true marriage; they chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord forever.

He Himself blesses them with the treasure of devotion; conquering the thorny pain of death, they merge in the Lord.

Conquering the thorny pain of death, they merge in the Lord; they are pleasing to the Lord's Mind, and they obtain the true treasure of the Naam.

This treasure is inexhaustible; it will never be exhausted. The Lord automatically blesses them with it.

The humble servants of the Lord are exalted and elevated, forever on high; they are adorned with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

O Nanak, He Himself forgives them, and merges them with Himself; throughout the ages, they are glorified. ||4||1||2||

Soohee, Third Mehl:

Through the True Word of the Shabad, true happiness prevails, there where the True Lord is contemplated.

Egotism and all sins are eradicated, when one keeps the True Lord enshrined in the heart.

One who keeps the True Lord enshrined in the heart, crosses over the terrible and dreadful world-ocean; he shall not have to cross over it again.

True is the True Guru, and True is the Word of His Bani; through it, the True Lord is seen.

One who sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord merges in Truth; he beholds the True Lord everywhere.

O Nanak, True is the Lord and Master, and True is His Name; through Truth, comes emancipation. ||1||

The True Guru reveals the True Lord; the True Lord preserves our honor.
