Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

He alone becomes the dust of the Lord's slaves, who has such good karma upon his forehead.

Says Nanak, he is released from bondage, in the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||4||6||36||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

The cripple crosses over the mountain, the fool becomes a wise man,

and the blind man sees the three worlds, by meeting with the True Guru and being purified. ||1||

This is the Glory of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; listen, O my friends.

Filth is washed away, millions of sins are dispelled, and the consciousness becomes immaculate and pure. ||1||Pause||

Such is devotional worship of the Lord of the Universe, that the ant can overpower the elephant.

Whoever the Lord makes His own, is blessed with the gift of fearlessness. ||2||

The lion becomes a cat, and the mountain looks like a blade of grass.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 016

Those who worked for half a shell, will be judged very wealthy. ||3||

What glorious greatness of Yours can I describe, O Lord of infinite excellences?

Please bless me with Your Mercy, and grant me Your Name; O Nanak, I am lost without the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||4||7||37||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

He is constantly entangled in pride, conflict, greed and tasty flavors.

He is involved in deception, fraud, household affairs and corruption. ||1||

I have seen this with my eyes, by the Grace of the Perfect Guru.

Power, property, wealth and youth are useless, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Beauty, incense, scented oils, beautiful clothes and foods

- when they come into contact with the body of the sinner, they stink. ||2||

Wandering, wandering around, the soul is reincarnated as a human, but this body lasts only for an instant.

Losing this opportunity, he must wander again through countless incarnations. ||3||

By God's Grace, he meets the Guru; contemplating the Lord, Har, Har, he is wonderstruck.

He is blessed with peace, poise and bliss, O Nanak, through the perfect sound current of the Naad. ||4||8||38||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

The feet of the Saints are the boat, to cross over the world-ocean.

In the wilderness, the Guru places them on the Path, and reveals the secrets of the Lord's Mystery. ||1||

O Lord, Har Har Har, Har Har Haray, Har Har Har, I love You.

While standing up, sitting down and sleeping, think of the Lord, Har Har Har. ||1||Pause||

The five thieves run away, when one joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

His investment is intact, and he earns great profits; his household is blessed with honor. ||2||

His position is unmoving and eternal, his anxiety is ended, and he wavers no more.

His doubts and misgivings are dispelled, and he sees God everywhere. ||3||
