-912O Saints, the Gurmukhs attain the state of liberation. The One Name abides deep within my heart; such is the glorious greatness of the Perfect Lord. || 1 || Pause II He Himself is the Creator, and He Himself is the Enjoyer. He Himself gives sustenance to all. || 2 || Whatever He wants to do, He is doing; no one else can do anything. || 3 || He Himself fashions and creates the creation; He links each and every person to their task. || 4 || If you serve Him, then you will find peace; the True Guru will unite you in His Union. || 5 || The Lord Himself creates Himself; the Unseen Lord cannot be seen. || 6 || He Himself kills, and brings back to life; He does not have even an iota of greed. || 7 || Some are made givers, and some are made beggars; He Himself inspires us to devotional worship. || 8 || Those who know the One Lord are very fortunate; they remain absorbed in the True Lord. Il 9 || He Himself is beautiful, He Himself is wise and clever; His worth cannot be expressed. || 10 || He Himself infuses pain and pleasure; He Himself makes them wander around in doubt. || 11 || The Great Giver is revealed to the Gurmukh; without the Guru, the world wanders in darkness. || 12 || Those who taste, enjoy the flavor; the True Guru imparts this understanding. || 13 || Some, the Lord causes to forget and lose the Name; others become Gurmukh, and are granted this understanding. || 14 || Forever and ever, praise the Lord, O Saints; how glorious is His greatness! || 15 || There is no other King except Him; He administers justice, as He has made it. || 16 || His justice is always True; how rare are those who accept His Command. || 17 || O mortal, meditate forever on the Lord, who has made the Gurmukh in His making. || 18 || That humble being who meets with the True Guru is fulfilled; the Naam abides in his heart. || 19 || The True Lord is Himself forever True; He announces His Bani, the Word of His Shabad. || 20 || Nanak is wonderstruck, hearing and seeing His Lord; my God is all-pervading, everywhere. || 21 || 5 || 14 ||
RAAMKALEE, FIFTH MEHL, ASHTAPADEES:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Some make a big show of their worldly influence. Some make a big show of devotional worship. Some practice inner cleansing teahniques, and control the breath through Kundalini Yoga. I am meek; I worship and adore the Lord, Har, Har. || 1 || I place my faith in You alone, O Beloved Lord. I do not know any other way. || 1 || Pause || Some abandon their homes, and live in the forests. Some put themselves on silence, and call themselves hermits. Some claim that they are devotees of the One Lord alone. I am meek; I seek the shelter and support of the Lord, Har, Har. || 2 || Some say that they live at sacred shrines of pilgrimage. Some refuse food and become Udaasis, shaven-headed renunciates. Some have wandered all across the earth. I am meek; I have fallen at the door of the Lord, Har, Har. || 3 |||
