Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bilaaval

Both here and hereafter, the Mighty Guru protects me.

God has embellished this world and the next for me, and all my affairs are perfectly resolved. ||1||Pause||

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I have found peace and poise, bathing in the dust of the feet of the Holy.

Comings and goings have ceased, and I have found stability; the pains of birth and death are eradicated. ||1||

I cross over the ocean of doubt and fear, and the fear of death is gone; the One Lord is permeating and pervading in each and every heart.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 032

Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of pain; I behold His Presence deep within, and all around as well. ||2||22||108||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, all pains run away.

Please, never leave my vision, O Lord; please abide with my soul. ||1||Pause||

My Beloved Lord and Master is the Support of the breath of life.

God, the Inner-knower, is all-pervading. ||1||

Which of Your Glorious Virtues should I contemplate and remember?

With each and every breath, O God, I remember You. ||2||

God is the ocean of mercy, merciful to the meek;

He cherishes all beings and creatures. ||3||

Twenty-four hours a day, Your humble servant chants Your Name.

You Yourself, O God, have inspired Nanak to love You. ||4||23||109||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Body, wealth and youth pass away.

You have not meditated and vibrated upon the Lord's Name; while you commit your sins of corruption in the night, the light of day dawns upon you. ||1||Pause||

Continually eating all sorts of foods, the teeth in your mouth crumble, decay and fall out.

Living in egotism and possessiveness, you are deluded; committing sins, you have no kindness for others. ||1||

The great sins are the terrible ocean of pain; the mortal is engrossed in them.

Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of his Lord and Master; taking him by the arm, God has lifted him up and out. ||2||24||110||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

God Himself has come into my consciousness.

My enemies and opponents have grown weary of attacking me, and now, I have become happy, O my friends and Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

The disease is gone, and all misfortunes have been averted; the Creator Lord has made me His own.

I have found peace, tranquility and total bliss, enshrining the Name of my Beloved Lord within my heart. ||1||

My soul, body and wealth are all Your capital; O God, You are my All-powerful Lord and Master.

You are the Saving Grace of Your slaves; slave Nanak is forever Your slave. ||2||25||111||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Meditating in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe, I am emancipated.
