ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD.
TRUTH IS THE NAME.
CREATIVE BEING PERSONIFIED. NO FEAR. No HATRED. IMAGE OF THE UNDYING. BEYOND BIRTH. SELF-EXISTENT.
BY GURU'S GRACE: RAAG BIHAAGRAA, CHAU-PADAS, FIFTH MEHL, SECOND HOUSE: To associate with evil demons is to live with snakes; I tried all sorts of things. || 1 || Then, I chanted the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and I found intuitive peace. Il 1 |Pause | Emotional attachment is worthless and false. I claimed for myself the possessions of others, sucked into the whirlpool of reincarnation. || 2 || All are travellers, who have gathered under the tree, held by their many bonds. || 3 || The Company of the Holy is stable and permanent; there, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung. Nanak seeks Sanctuary. || 4 || 1 ||
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:
RAAG BIHAAGRAA, NINTH MEHL: No one knows the state of the Lord. The Yogis, the celibates, the austere penitents, and all sorts of clever people have failed. || 1 ||| Pause || In an instant, He changes the beggar into a king, and the king into a beggar. He fills what is empty, and empties what is full. Such are His ways. || 1 || He Himself spread out the expanse of His Maya, and He Himself beholds it. He assumes so many forms, and plays so many games, and yet He remains distinct and detached from it all. || 2 | Incalculable, infinite, incomprehensible and immaculate, He has misled the whole world. So give up all your doubts; prays Nanak, O mortal, focus your consciousness on His Feet. | 3 || 1 || 2 ||
RAAG BIHAAGRAA, CHHANT, FOURTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, O my soul; to the Gurmukh, the Name of the Lord is priceless. My mind is pierced by the sublime essence of the Lord's Name. The Lord is dear to my mind.
