Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

The Holy Saints chant Words of Truth; they meditate continually on the Lord of the Universe.

Meditating, meditating in remembrance, O Nanak, those who are imbued with the color of the Lord's Love are carried across. ||2||11||29||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

The Perfect Guru has blessed me with celestial Samaadhi, bliss and peace.

God is always my Helper and Companion; I contemplate His Ambrosial Virtues. ||Pause||

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 014

Triumphant cheers greet me all across the world, and all beings yearn for me.

The True Guru and God are totally pleased with me; no obstacle blocks my way. ||1||

One who has the Merciful Lord God on his side - everyone becomes his slave.

Forever and ever, O Nanak, glorious greatness rests with the Guru. ||2||12||30||

Raag Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl, Fifth House, Chau-Padas:

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

This perishable realm and world has been made like a house of sand.

In no time at all, it is destroyed, like the paper drenched with water. ||1||

Listen to me, people: behold, and consider this within your mind.

The Siddhas, the seekers, house-holders and Yogis have forsaken their homes and left. ||1||Pause||

This world is like a dream in the night.

All that is seen shall perish. Why are you attached to it, you fool? ||2||

Where are your brothers and friends? Open your eyes and see!

Some have gone, and some will go; everyone must take his turn. ||3||

Those who serve the Perfect True Guru, remain ever-stable at the Door of the Lord.

Servant Nanak is the Lord's slave; preserve his honor, O Lord, Destroyer of ego. ||4||1||31||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

The glories of the world, I cast into the fire.

I chant those words, by which I may meet my Beloved. ||1||

When God becomes Merciful, then He enjoins me to His devotional service.

My mind clings to worldly desires; meeting with the Guru, I have renounced them. ||1||Pause||

I pray with intense devotion, and offer this soul to Him.

I would sacrifice all other riches, for a moment's union with my Beloved. ||2||

Through the Guru, I am rid of the five villains, as well as emotional love and hate.

My heart is illumined, and the Lord has become manifest; night and day, I remain awake and aware. ||3||

The blessed soul-bride seeks His Sanctuary; her destiny is recorded on her forehead.

Says Nanak, she obtains her Husband Lord; her body and mind are cooled and soothed. ||4||2||32||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

One is dyed in the color of the Lord's Love, by great good fortune.

This color is never muddied; no stain ever sticks to it. ||1||

He finds God, the Giver of peace, with feelings of joy.

The Celestial Lord blends into his soul, and he can never leave Him. ||1||Pause||
