Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

Chanting the Name of the Lord of the Universe, Gobind, Gobind, Gobind, we become like Him.

Since I met the compassionate, Holy Saints, my evil-mindedness has been driven far away. ||1||Pause||

The Perfect Lord is perfectly pervading everywhere. He is cool and calm, peaceful and compassionate.

Sexual desire, anger and egotistical desires have all been eliminated from my body. ||1||

Truth, contentment, compassion, Dharmic faith and purity - I have received these from the Teachings of the Saints.

Says Nanak, one who realizes this in his mind, achieves total understanding. ||2||4||90||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

What am I? Just a poor living being. I cannot even describe one of Your hairs, O Lord.

Even Brahma, Shiva, the Siddhas and the silent sages do not know Your State, O Infinite Lord and Master. ||1||

What can I say? I cannot say anything.

Wherever I look, I see the Lord pervading. ||1||Pause||

And there, where the most terrible tortures are heard to be inflicted by the Messenger of Death, You are my only help and support, O my God.

I have sought His Sanctuary, and grasped hold of the Lord's Lotus Feet; God has helped Guru Nanak to understand this understanding. ||2||5||91||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

O Inaccessible, Beautiful, Imperishable Creator Lord, Purifier of sinners, let me meditate on You, even for an instant.

O Wondrous Lord, I have heard that You are found by meeting the Saints, and focusing the mind on their feet, their holy feet. ||1||

In what way, and by what discipline, is He obtained?

Tell me, O good man, by what means can we meditate on Him? ||1||Pause||

If one human being serves another human being, the one served stands by him.

Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary and Protection, O Lord, ocean of peace; He takes the Support of Your Name alone. ||2||6||92||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

I seek the Sanctuary of the Saints, and I serve the Saints.

I am rid of all worldly concerns, bonds, entanglements and other affairs. ||1||Pause||

I have obtained peace, poise and great bliss from the Guru, through the Lord's Name.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 029

Such is the sublime essence of the Lord, that I cannot describe it. The Perfect Guru has turned me away from the world. ||1||

I behold the Fascinating Lord with everyone. No one is without Him - He is pervading everywhere.

The Perfect Lord, the treasure of mercy, is permeating everywhere. Says Nanak, I am fully fulfilled. ||2||7||93||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

What does the mind say? What can I say?

You are wise and all-knowing, O God, my Lord and Master; what can I say to You? ||1||Pause||

You know even what is not said, whatever is in the soul.

O mind, why do you deceive others? How long will you do this? The Lord is with you; He hears and sees everything. ||1||
