Raag Wadahans

- Part 001 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 Wadahans, First Mehl, First House: To the addict, there is nothing like the drug; to the fish, there is nothing else like water. Those who are attuned to their Lord - everyone is pleasing to them. ||1|| I am a sacrifice, cut apart into pieces, a sacrifice to Your Name, O Lord Master. ||1||Pause|| The Lord is the fruitful tree; His Name is ambrosial nectar. Those who drink it in are satisfied; I am a sacrifice to them. ||2|| You are not visible to me, although You dwell with everyone. How can the thirst of the thirsty be quenched, with that wall between me and the pond? ||3|| Nanak is Your merchant; You, O Lord Master, are my merchandise. My mind is cleansed of doubt, only when I praise You, and pray to You. ||4||1|| Wadahans, First Mehl: The virtuous bride enjoys her Husband Lord; why does the unworthy one cry out? If she were to become virtuous, then she too could enjoy her Husband Lord. ||1|| My Husband Lord is loving and playful; why should the soul-bride enjoy anyone else? ||1||Pause|| If the soul-bride does good deeds, and strings them on the thread of her mind, she obtains the jewel, which cannot be purchased for any price, strung upon the thread of her consciousness. ||2||

she obtains the jewel, which cannot be purchased for any price, strung upon the thread of her consciousness. ||2|| I ask, but do not follow the way shown to me; still, I claim to have reached my destination. I do not speak with You, O my Husband Lord; how then can I come to have a place in Your home? ||3|| O Nanak, without the One Lord, there is no other at all. If the soul-bride remains attached to You, then she shall enjoy her Husband Lord. ||4||2|| Wadahans, First Mehl, Second House: The peacocks are singing so sweetly, O sister; the rainy season of Saawan has come. Your beauteous eyes are like a string of charms, fascinating and enticing the soul-bride. I would cut myself into pieces for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; I am a sacrifice to Your Name. I take pride in You; without You, what could I be proud of? So smash your bracelets along with your bed, O soul-bride, and break your arms, along with the arms of your couch. In spite of all the decorations which you have made, O soul-bride, your Husband Lord is enjoying someone else. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 002 You don't have the bracelets of gold, nor the good crystal jewelry; you haven't dealt with the true jeweller. Those arms, which do not embrace the neck of the Husband Lord, burn in anguish. All my companions have gone to enjoy their Husband Lord; which door should I, the wretched one, go to? O friend, I may look very attractive, but I am not pleasing to my Husband Lord at all.

O friend, I may look very attractive, but I am not pleasing to my Husband Lord at all. I have woven my hair into lovely braids, and saturated their partings with vermillion; but when I go before Him, I am not accepted, and I die, suffering in anguish. I weep; the whole world weeps; even the birds of the forest weep with me. The only thing which doesn't weep is my body's sense of separateness, which has separated me from my Lord. In a dream, He came, and went away again; I cried so many tears. I can't come to You, O my Beloved, and I can't send anyone to You. Come to me, O blessed sleep - perhaps I will see my Husband Lord again. One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him? Cutting off my head, I give it to Him to sit upon; without my head, I shall still serve Him. Why haven't I died? Why hasn't my life just ended? My Husband Lord has become a stranger to me. ||1||3|| Wadahans, Third Mehl, First House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: When the mind is filthy, everything is filthy; by washing the body, the mind is not cleaned. This world is deluded by doubt; how rare are those who understand this. ||1|| O my mind, chant the One Name. The True Guru has given me this treasure. ||1||Pause|| Even if one learns the Yogic postures of the Siddhas, and holds his sexual energy in check, still, the filth of the mind is not removed, and the filth of egotism is not eliminated. ||2||

still, the filth of the mind is not removed, and the filth of egotism is not eliminated. ||2|| This mind is not controlled by any other discipline, except the Sanctuary of the True Guru. Meeting the True Guru, one is transformed beyond description. ||3|| Prays Nanak, one who dies upon meeting the True Guru, shall be rejuvenated through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. The filth of his attachment and possessiveness shall depart, and his mind shall become pure. ||4||1|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: By His Grace, one serves the True Guru; by His Grace, service is performed. By His grace, this mind is controlled, and by His Grace, it becomes pure. ||1|| O my mind, think of the True Lord. Think of the One Lord, and you shall obtain peace; you shall never suffer in sorrow again. ||1||Pause|| By His Grace, one dies while yet alive, and by His Grace, the Word of the Shabad is enshrined in the mind. By His Grace, one understands the Hukam of the Lord's Command, and by His Command, one merges into the Lord. ||2|| That tongue, which does not savor the sublime essence of the Lord - may that tongue be burned off! It remains attached to other pleasures, and through the love of duality, it suffers in pain. ||3|| The One Lord grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions. O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, the fruits are obtained, and one is blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam. ||4||2||

O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, the fruits are obtained, and one is blessed with the Glorious Greatness of the Naam. ||4||2|| Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 003 Wadahans, Third Mehl: Emotional attachment to Maya is darkness; without the Guru, there is no wisdom. Those who are attached to the Word of the Shabad understand; duality has ruined the people. ||1|| O my mind, under Guru's Instruction, do good deeds. Dwell forever and ever upon the Lord God, and you shall find the gate of salvation. ||1||Pause|| The Lord alone is the treasure of virtue; He Himself gives, and then one receives. Without the Name, all are separated from the Lord; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one meets the Lord. ||2|| Acting in ego, they lose, and nothing comes into their hands. Meeting the True Guru, they find Truth, and merge into the True Name. ||3|| Hope and desire abide in this body, but the Lord's Light shines within as well. O Nanak, the self-willed manmukhs remain in bondage; the Gurmukhs are liberated. ||4||3|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: The faces of the happy soul-brides are radiant forever; through the Guru, they are peacefully poised. They enjoy their Husband Lord constantly, eradicating their ego from within. ||1|| O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. The True Guru has led me to understand the Lord. ||1||Pause|| The abandoned brides cry out in their suffering; they do not attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

The abandoned brides cry out in their suffering; they do not attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. In the love of duality, they appear so ugly; they suffer in pain as they go to the world beyond. ||2|| The virtuous soul-bride constantly chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord; she enshrines the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within her heart. The unvirtuous woman suffers, and cries out in pain. ||3|| The One Lord and Master is the Husband Lord of all; His Praises cannot be expressed. O Nanak, He has separated some from Himself, while others are to His Name. ||4||4|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: The Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam is always sweet to me; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I come to taste it. Through the True Word of the Guru's Bani, I am merged in peace and poise; the Dear Lord is enshrined in the mind. ||1|| The Lord, showing His Mercy, has caused me to meet the True Guru. Through the Perfect True Guru, I meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| Through Brahma, the hymns of the Vedas were revealed, but the love of Maya spread. The wise one, Shiva, remains absorbed in himself, but he is engrossed in dark passions and excessive egotism. ||2|| Vishnu is always busy reincarnating himself - who will save the world? The Gurmukhs are imbued with spiritual wisdom in this age; they are rid of the darkness of emotional attachment. ||3|| Serving the True Guru, one is emancipated; the Gurmukh crosses over the world-ocean.

Serving the True Guru, one is emancipated; the Gurmukh crosses over the world-ocean. The detached renunciates are imbued with the True Name; they attain the gate of salvation. ||4|| The One True Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere; He cherishes everyone. O Nanak, without the One Lord, I do not know any other; He is the Merciful Master of all. ||5||5|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: The Gurmukh practices true self-discipline, and attains the essence of wisdom. The Gurmukh meditates on the True Lord. ||1|| Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 004 As Gurmukh, O my mind, remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord. It shall stand by you always, and go with you. ||Pause|| The True Lord is the social status and honor of the Gurmukh. Within the Gurmukh, is God, his friend and helper. ||2|| He alone becomes Gurmukh, whom the Lord so blesses. He Himself blesses the Gurmukh with greatness. ||3|| The Gurmukh lives the True Word of the Shabad, and practices good deeds. The Gurmukh, O Nanak, emancipates his family and relations. ||4||6|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: My tongue is intuitively attracted to the taste of the Lord. My mind is satisfied, meditating on the Name of the Lord. ||1|| Lasting peace is obtained, contemplating the Shabad, the True Word of God. I am forever a sacrifice to my True Guru. ||1||Pause|| My eyes are content, lovingly focused on the One Lord. My mind is content, having forsaken the love of duality. ||2||

My mind is content, having forsaken the love of duality. ||2|| The frame of my body is at peace, through the Shabad, and the Name of the Lord. The fragrance of the Naam permeates my heart. ||3|| O Nanak, one who has such great destiny written upon his forehead, through the Bani of the Guru's Word, easily and intuitively becomes free of desire. ||4||7|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: From the Perfect Guru, the Naam is obtained. Through the Shabad, the True Word of God, one merges in the True Lord. ||1|| O my soul, obtain the treasure of the Naam, by submitting to the Will of your Guru. ||1||Pause|| Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, filth is washed away from within. The Immaculate Naam comes to abide within the mind. ||2|| Deluded by doubt, the world wanders around. It dies, and is born again, and is ruined by the Messenger of Death. ||3|| O Nanak, very fortunate are those who meditate on the Name of the Lord. By Guru's Grace, they enshrine the Name within their minds. ||4||8|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: Ego is opposed to the Name of the Lord; the two do not dwell in the same place. In egotism, selfless service cannot be performed, and so the soul goes unfulfilled. ||1|| O my mind, think of the Lord, and practice the Word of the Guru's Shabad. If you submit to the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then you shall meet with the Lord; only then will your ego depart from within. ||Pause|| Egotism is within all bodies; through egotism, we come to be born.

Egotism is within all bodies; through egotism, we come to be born. Egotism is total darkness; in egotism, no one can understand anything. ||2|| In egotism, devotional worship cannot be performed, and the Hukam of the Lord's Command cannot be understood. In egotism, the soul is in bondage, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not come to abide in the mind. ||3|| O Nanak, meeting with the True Guru, egotism is eliminated, and then, the True Lord comes to dwell in the mind|| One starts practicing truth, abides in truth and by serving the True One gets absorbed in Him. ||4||9||12|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl, First House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: There is one bed, and One Lord God. The Gurmukh enjoys the Lord, the ocean of peace. ||1|| My mind longs to meet my Beloved Lord. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 005 The Perfect Guru leads me to meet my Beloved; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru. ||1||Pause|| My body is over-flowing with corruption; how can I meet my Perfect Beloved? ||2|| The virtuous ones obtain my Beloved; I do not have these virtues. How can I meet Him, O my mother? ||3|| I am so tired of making all these efforts. Please protect Nanak, the meek one, O my Lord. ||4||1|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl: My Lord God is so beautiful. I do not know His worth. Abandoning my Lord God, I have become entangled in duality. ||1|| How can I meet with my Husband? I don't know.

How can I meet with my Husband? I don't know. She who pleases her Husband Lord is a happy soul-bride. She meets with her Husband Lord - she is so wise. ||1||Pause|| I am filled with faults; how can I attain my Husband Lord? You have many loves, but I am not in Your thoughts, O my Husband Lord. ||2|| She who enjoys her Husband Lord, is the good soul-bride. I don't have these virtues; what can I, the discarded bride, do? ||3|| The soul-bride continually, constantly enjoys her Husband Lord. I have no good fortune; will He ever hold me close in His embrace? ||4|| You, O Husband Lord, are meritorious, while I am without merit. I am worthless; please forgive Nanak, the meek. ||5||2|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl, Second House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Within my mind there is such a great yearning; how will I attain the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan? I go and ask my True Guru; with the Guru's advice, I shall teach my foolish mind. The foolish mind is instructed in the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and meditates forever on the Lord, Har, Har. O Nanak, one who is blessed with the Mercy of my Beloved, focuses his consciousness on the Lord's Feet. ||1|| I dress myself in all sorts of robes for my Husband, so that my True Lord God will be pleased. But my Beloved Husband Lord does not even cast a glance in my direction; how can I be consoled? For His sake, I adorn myself with adornments, but my Husband is imbued with the love of another.

For His sake, I adorn myself with adornments, but my Husband is imbued with the love of another. O Nanak, blessed, blessed, blessed is that soul-bride, who enjoys her True, Sublime Husband Lord. ||2|| I go and ask the fortunate, happy soul-bride, "How did you attain Him - your Husband Lord, my God?" She answers, "My True Husband blessed me with His Mercy; I abandoned the distinction between mine and yours. Dedicate everything, mind, body and soul, to the Lord God; this is the Path to meet Him, O sister." If her God gazes upon her with favor, O Nanak, her light merges into the Light. ||3|| I dedicate my mind and body to the one who brings me a message from my Lord God. I wave the fan over him every day, serve him and carry water for him. Constantly and continuously, I serve the Lord's humble servant, who recites to me the sermon of the Lord, Har, Har. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 006 Hail, hail unto the Guru, the Guru, the Perfect True Guru, who fulfills Nanak's heart's desires. ||4|| O Lord, let me meet the Guru, my best friend; meeting Him, I meditate on the Lord's Name. I seek the Lord's sermon from the Guru, the True Guru; joining with Him, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Each and every day, forever, I sing the Lord's Praises; my mind lives by hearing Your Name. O Nanak, that moment when I forget my Lord and Master - at that moment, my soul dies. ||5|| Everyone longs to see the Lord, but he alone sees Him, whom the Lord causes to see Him.

Everyone longs to see the Lord, but he alone sees Him, whom the Lord causes to see Him. One upon whom my Beloved bestows His Glance of Grace, cherishes the Lord, Har, Har forever. He alone cherishes the Lord, Har, Har, forever and ever, who meets my Perfect True Guru. O Nanak, the Lord's humble servant and the Lord become One; meditating on the Lord, he blends with the Lord. ||6||1||3|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl, First House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: His Darbaar, His Court, is the most lofty and exalted. It has no end or limitations. Millions, millions, tens of millions seek, but they cannot find even a tiny bit of His Mansion. ||1|| What is that auspicious moment, when God is met? ||1||Pause|| Tens of thousands of devotees worship Him in adoration. Tens of thousands of ascetics practice austere discipline. Tens of thousands of Yogis practice Yoga. Tens of thousands of pleasure seekers seek pleasure. ||2|| He dwells in each and every heart, but only a few know this. Is there any friend who can rip apart the screen of separation? I can only make the effort, if the Lord is merciful to me. I sacrifice my body and soul to Him. ||3|| After wandering around for so long, I have finally come to the Saints; all of my pains and doubts have been eradicated. God summoned me to the Mansion of His Presence, and blessed me with the Ambrosial Nectar of His Name. Says Nanak, my God is lofty and exalted. ||4||1||

Says Nanak, my God is lofty and exalted. ||4||1|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: Blessed is that time, when the Blessed Vision of His Darshan is given; I am a sacrifice to the feet of the True Guru. ||1|| You are the Giver of souls, O my Beloved God. My soul lives by reflecting upon the Name of God. ||1||Pause|| True is Your Mantra, Ambrosial is the Bani of Your Word. Cooling and soothing is Your Presence, all-knowing is Your gaze. ||2|| True is Your Command; You sit upon the eternal throne. My eternal God does not come or go. ||3|| You are the Merciful Master; I am Your humble servant. O Nanak, the Lord and Master is totally permeating and pervading everywhere. ||4||2|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: You are infinite - only a few know this. By Guru's Grace, some come to understand You through the Word of the Shabad. ||1|| Your servant offers this prayer, O Beloved: Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 007 I live by meditating on Your Feet, God. ||1||Pause|| O my Merciful and Almighty God, O Great Giver, he alone knows You, whom You so bless. ||2|| Forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to You. Here and hereafter, I seek Your Protection. ||3|| I am without virtue; I know none of Your Glorious Virtues. O Nanak, seeing the Holy Saint, my mind is imbued with You. ||4||3|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: God is perfect - He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. He blesses us with the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||1||

He blesses us with the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||1|| Bless me with Your Grace, God, O Merciful to the meek. I seek Your Protection, O Perfect Lord, Sustainer of the World. ||1||Pause|| He is totally pervading and permeating the water, the land and the sky. God is near at hand, not far away. ||2|| One whom He blesses with His Grace, meditates on Him. Twenty-four hours a day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3|| He cherishes and sustains all beings and creatures. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord's Door. ||4||4|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: You are the Great Giver, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. God, the Perfect Lord and Master, is permeating and pervading in all. ||1|| The Name of my Beloved God is my only support. I live by hearing, continually hearing Your Name. ||1||Pause|| I seek Your Sanctuary, O my Perfect True Guru. My mind is purified by the dust of the Saints. ||2|| I have enshrined His Lotus Feet within my heart. I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||3|| Show mercy unto me, that I may sing Your Glorious Praises. O Nanak, chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I obtain peace. ||4||5|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. The soul does not die, nor does it ever waste away. ||1|| By great good fortune, one meets the Perfect Guru. By Guru's Grace, one meditates on God. ||1||Pause||

By Guru's Grace, one meditates on God. ||1||Pause|| The Lord is the jewel, the pearl, the gem, the diamond. Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, I am in ecstasy. ||2|| Wherever I look, I see the Sanctuary of the Holy. Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, my soul becomes immaculately pure. ||3|| Within each and every heart, dwells my Lord and Master. O Nanak, one obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, when God bestows His Mercy. ||4||6|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: Do not forget me, O God, Merciful to the meek. I seek Your Sanctuary, O Perfect, Compassionate Lord. ||1||Pause|| Wherever You come to mind, that place is blessed. The moment I forget You, I am stricken with regret. ||1|| All beings are Yours; You are their constant companion. Please, give me Your hand, and pull me up out of this world-ocean. ||2|| Coming and going are by Your Will. One whom You save is not afflicted by suffering. ||3|| You are the One and only Lord and Master; there is no other. Nanak offers this prayer with his palms pressed together. ||4||7|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl: When You allow Yourself to be known, then we know You. We chant Your Name, which You have given to us. ||1|| You are wonderful! Your creative potency is amazing! ||1||Pause|| Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 008 You Yourself are the Cause of causes, You Yourself are the Creator. By Your Will, we are born, and by Your Will, we die. ||2||

By Your Will, we are born, and by Your Will, we die. ||2|| Your Name is the Support of our mind and body. This is Your blessing to Nanak, Your slave. ||3||8|| Wadahans, Fifth Mehl, Second House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Deep within me, there is a longing to meet my Beloved; how can I attain my Perfect Guru? Even though a baby may play hundreds of games, he cannot survive without milk. The hunger within me is not satisfied, O my friend, even though I am served hundreds of dishes. My mind and body are filled with love for my Beloved; how can my soul find relief, without the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan? ||1|| Listen, O my dear friends and siblings - lead me to my True Friend, the Giver of peace. He knows all the troubles of my soul; every day, he tells me stories of the Lord. I cannot live without Him, even for an instant. I cry out for Him, just as the song-bird cries for the drop of water. Which of Your Glorious Virtues should I sing? You save even worthless beings like me. ||2|| I have become depressed, waiting for my Husband Lord, O my friend; when shall my eyes behold my Husband? I have forgotten how to enjoy all pleasures; without my Husband Lord, they are of no use at all. These clothes do not please my body; I cannot dress myself. I bow to those friends of mine, who have enjoyed their Beloved Husband Lord. ||3|| I have adorned myself with all sorts of decorations, O my friend, but without my Husband Lord, they are of no use at all.

I have adorned myself with all sorts of decorations, O my friend, but without my Husband Lord, they are of no use at all. When my Husband does not care for me, O my friend, then my youth passes, totally useless. Blessed, blessed are the happy soul-brides, O my friend, who are blended with their Husband Lord. I am a sacrifice to those happy soul-brides; I wash their feet again and again. ||4|| As long as I suffered from duality and doubt, O my friend, I thought God was far away. But when I met the Perfect True Guru, O my friend, then all my hopes and desires were fulfilled. I have obtained all pleasures and comforts, O my friend; my Husband Lord is all-pervading everywhere. Servant Nanak enjoys the Lord's Love, O my friend; I fall at the feet of the Guru, the True Guru. ||5||1||9|| Wadahans, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: True is the Bani of His Word, and True is the melody; True is contemplative meditation on the Word of the Shabad. Night and day, I praise the True Lord. Blessed, blessed is my great good fortune. ||1|| O my mind, let yourself be a sacrifice to the True Name. If you become the slave of the Lord's slaves, you shall obtain the True Name. ||1||Pause|| Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 009 True is the tongue which is imbued with Truth, and true are the mind and body. By praising any other than the True Lord, one's whole life is wasted. ||2||

By praising any other than the True Lord, one's whole life is wasted. ||2|| Let Truth be the farm, Truth the seed, and Truth the merchandise you trade. Night and day, you shall earn the profit of the Lord's Name; you shall have the treasure overflowing with the wealth of devotional worship. ||3|| Let Truth be your food, and let Truth be your clothes; let your True Support be the Name of the Lord. One who is so blessed by the Lord, obtains a seat in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||4|| In Truth we come, and in Truth we go, and then, we are not consigned to reincarnation again. The Gurmukhs are hailed as True in the True Court; they merge in the True Lord. ||5|| Deep within they are True, and their minds are True; they sing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord. In the true place, they praise the True Lord; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||6|| True is the time, and true is the moment, when one falls in love with the True Lord. Then, he sees Truth, and speaks the Truth; he realizes the True Lord pervading the entire Universe. ||7|| O Nanak, one merges with the True Lord, when He merges with Himself. As it pleases Him, He preserves us; He Himself ordains His Will. ||8||1|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: His mind wanders in the ten directions - how can he sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord? The sensory organs are totally engrossed in sensuality; sexual desire and anger constantly afflict him. ||1||

The sensory organs are totally engrossed in sensuality; sexual desire and anger constantly afflict him. ||1|| Waaho! Waaho! Hail! Hail! Chant His Glorious Praises. The Lord's Name is so difficult to obtain in this age; under Guru's Instruction, drink in the subtle essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| Remembering the Word of the Shabad, the mind becomes immaculately pure, and then, one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Under Guru's Instruction, one comes to understand his own self, and then, he comes to dwell in the home of his inner self. ||2|| O my mind, be imbued forever with the Lord's Love, and sing forever the Glorious Praises of the Lord. The Immaculate Lord is forever the Giver of peace; from Him, one receives the fruits of his heart's desires. ||3|| I am lowly, but I have been exalted, entering the Sanctuary of the Lord. He has lifted up the sinking stone; True is His glorious greatness. ||4|| From poison, I have been transformed into Ambrosial Nectar; under Guru's Instruction, I have obtained wisdom. From bitter herbs, I have been transformed into sandalwood; this fragrance permeates me deep within. ||5|| This human birth is so precious; one must earn the right to come into the world. By perfect destiny, I met the True Guru, and I meditate on the Lord's Name. ||6|| The self-willed manmukhs are deluded; attached to corruption, they waste away their lives in vain. The Name of the Lord is forever an ocean of peace, but the manmukhs do not love the Word of the Shabad. ||7||

The Name of the Lord is forever an ocean of peace, but the manmukhs do not love the Word of the Shabad. ||7|| Everyone can chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har with their mouths, but only a few enshrine it within their hearts. O Nanak, those who enshrine the Lord within their hearts, attain liberation and emancipation. ||8||2|| Wadahans, First Mehl, Chhant: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Why bother to wash the body, polluted by falsehood? One's cleansing bath is only approved, if he practices Truth. When there is Truth within the heart, then one becomes True, and obtains the True Lord. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 010 Without pre-ordained destiny, understanding is not attained; talking and babbling, one wastes his life away. Wherever you go and sit, speak well, and write the Word of the Shabad in your consciousness. Why bother to wash the body which is polluted by falsehood? ||1|| When I have spoken, I spoke as You made me speak. The Ambrosial Name of the Lord is pleasing to my mind. The Naam, the Name of the Lord, seems so sweet to my mind; it has destroyed the dwelling of pain. Peace came to dwell in my mind, when You gave the Order. It is Yours to bestow Your Grace, and it is mine to speak this prayer; You created Yourself. When I have spoken, I spoke as You made me speak. ||2|| The Lord and Master gives them their turn, according to the deeds they have done.

The Lord and Master gives them their turn, according to the deeds they have done. Do not speak ill of others, or get involved in arguments. Do not get into arguments with the Lord, or you shall ruin yourself. If you challenge the One, with whom you must abide, you will cry in the end. Be satisfied with what God gives you; tell your mind not to complain uselessly. The Lord and Master gives them their turn, according to the deeds they have done. ||3|| He Himself created all, and He blesses then with His Glance of Grace. No one asks for that which is bitter; everyone asks for sweets. Let everyone ask for sweets, and behold, it is as the Lord wills. Giving donations to charity, and performing various religious rituals are not equal to the contemplation of the Naam. O Nanak, those who are blessed with the Naam have had such good karma pre-ordained. He Himself created all, and He blesses them with His Glance of Grace. ||4||1|| Wadahans, First Mehl: Show mercy to me, that I may chant Your Name. You Yourself created all, and You are pervading among all. You Yourself are pervading among all, and You link them to their tasks. Some, You have made kings, while others go about begging. You have made greed and emotional attachment seem sweet; they are deluded by this delusion. Be ever merciful to me; only then can I chant Your Name. ||1|| Your Name is True, and ever pleasing to my mind. My pains are dispelled, and I am permeated with peace.

My pains are dispelled, and I am permeated with peace. The angels, the mortals and the silent sages sing of You. The angels, the mortals and the silent sages sing of You; they are pleasing to Your Mind. Enticed by Maya, they do not remember the Lord, and they waste away their lives in vain. Some fools and idiots never think of the Lord; whoever has come, shall have to go. Your Name is True, and ever pleasing to my mind. ||2|| Beauteous is Your time, O Lord; the Bani of Your Word is Ambrosial Nectar. Your servants serve You with love; these mortals are attached to Your essence. Those mortals are attached to Your essence, who are blessed with the Ambrosial Name. Those who are imbued with Your Name, prosper more and more, day by day. Some do not practice good deeds, or live righteously; nor do they practice self-restraint. They do not realize the One Lord. Ever beauteous is Your time, O Lord; the Bani of Your Word is Ambrosial Nectar. ||3|| I am a sacrifice to the True Name. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 011 Your rule shall never end. Your rule is eternal and unchanging; it shall never come to an end. He alone becomes Your servant, who contemplates You in peaceful ease. Enemies and pains shall never touch him, and sin shall never draw near him. I am forever a sacrifice to the One Lord, and Your Name. ||4|| Throughout the ages, Your devotees sing the Kirtan of Your Praises, O Lord Master, at Your Door.

Throughout the ages, Your devotees sing the Kirtan of Your Praises, O Lord Master, at Your Door. They meditate on the One True Lord. Only then do they meditate on the True Lord, when they enshrine Him in their minds. Doubt and delusion are Your making; when these are dispelled, then, by Guru's Grace, You grant Your Grace, and save them from the noose of Death. Throughout the ages, they are Your devotees. ||5|| O my Great Lord and Master, You are unfathomable and infinite. How should I make and offer my prayer? I do not know what to say. If You bless me with Your Glance of Grace, I realize the Truth. Only then do I come to realize the Truth, when You Yourself instruct me. The pain and hunger of the world are Your making; dispel this doubt. Prays Nanak, ones skepticism is taken away, when he understands the Guru's wisdom. The Great Lord Master is unfathomable and infinite. ||6|| Your eyes are so beautiful, and Your teeth are delightful. Your nose is so graceful, and Your hair is so long. Your body is so precious, cast in gold. His body is cast in gold, and He wears Krishna's mala; meditate on Him, O sisters. You shall not have to stand at Death's door, O sisters, if you listen to these teachings. From a crane, you shall be transformed into a swan, and the filth of your mind shall be removed. Your eyes are so beautiful, and Your teeth are delightful. ||7|| Your walk is so graceful, and Your speech is so sweet.

Your walk is so graceful, and Your speech is so sweet. You coo like a songbird, and your youthful beauty is alluring. Your youthful beauty is so alluring; it pleases You, and it fulfills the heart's desires. Like an elephant, You step with Your Feet so carefully; You are satisfied with Yourself. She who is imbued with the Love of such a Great Lord, flows intoxicated, like the waters of the Ganges. Prays Nanak, I am Your slave, O Lord; Your walk is so graceful, and Your speech is so sweet. ||8||2|| Wadahans, Third Mehl, Chhant: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Let yourself be imbued with the Love of your Husband Lord, O beautiful, mortal bride. Let yourself remain merged in the True Word of the Shabad, O mortal bride; savor and enjoy the Love of your Beloved Husband Lord. The Husband Lord embellishes His beloved bride with His True Love; she is in love with the Lord, Har, Har. Renouncing her self-centeredness, she attains her Husband Lord, and remains merged in the Word of the Guru's Shabad. That soul bride is adorned, who is attracted by His Love, and who treasures the Love of her Beloved within her heart. O Nanak, the Lord blends that soul bride with Himself; the True King adorns her. ||1|| O worthless bride, see your Husband Lord ever-present. One who, as Gurmukh, enjoys her Husband Lord, O mortal bride, knows Him to be all-pervading everywhere. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 012

Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 012 The Lord is all-pervading everywhere; behold Him ever-present. Throughout the ages, know Him as the One. The young, innocent bride enjoys her Husband Lord; she meets Him, the Architect of karma. One who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord, and utters the sublime Word of the Shabad, remains immersed in the Lord's Ambrosial Pool. O Nanak, that soul bride is pleasing to her Husband Lord, who, through the Shabad, remains in His Presence. ||2|| Go and ask the happy soul-brides, O mortal bride, who have eradicated their self-conceit from within. Those who have not eradicated their self-conceit, O mortal bride, do not realize the Hukam of their Husband Lord's Command. Those who eradicate their self-conceit, obtain their Husband Lord; they delight in His Love. Ever imbued with His Love, in perfect poise and grace, she repeats His Name, night and day. Very fortunate is that bride, who focuses her consciousness on Him; her Lord's Love is so sweet to her. O Nanak, that soul-bride who is adorned with Truth, is imbued with her Lord's Love, in the state of perfect poise. ||3|| Overcome your egotism, O mortal bride, and walk in the Guru's Way. Thus you shall ever enjoy your Husband Lord, O mortal bride, and obtain an abode in the home of your own inner being. Obtaining an abode in the home of her inner being, she vibrates the Word of the Shabad, and is a happy soul-bride forever.

Obtaining an abode in the home of her inner being, she vibrates the Word of the Shabad, and is a happy soul-bride forever. The Husband Lord is delightful, and forever young; night and day, He embellishes His bride. Her Husband Lord activates the destiny written on her forehead, and she is adorned with the True Shabad. O Nanak, the soul-bride is imbued with the Love of the Lord, when she walks according to the Will of the True Guru. ||4||1|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: All dealings of the Gurmukh are good, if they are accomplished with poise and grace. Night and day, he repeats the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and he earns his profits, drinking in the subtle essence of the Lord. He earns the profit of the subtle essence of the Lord, meditating on the Lord, and repeating the Naam, night and day. He gathers in merits, and eliminates demerits, and realizes his own self. Under Guru's Instruction, he is blessed with glorious greatness; he drinks in the essence of the True Word of the Shabad. O Nanak, devotional worship of the Lord is wonderful, but only a few Gurmukhs perform it. ||1|| As Gurmukh, plant the crop of the Lord within the field of your body, and let it grow. Within the home of your own being, enjoy the Lord's subtle essence, and earn profits in the world hereafter. This profit is earned by enshrining the Lord within your mind; blessed is this farming and trade. Meditating on the Lord's Name, and enshrining Him within your mind, you shall come to understand the Guru's Teachings.

Meditating on the Lord's Name, and enshrining Him within your mind, you shall come to understand the Guru's Teachings. The self-willed manmukhs have grown weary of this farming and trade; their hunger and thirst will not go away. O Nanak, plant the seed of the Name within your mind, and adorn yourself with the True Word of the Shabad. ||2|| Those humble beings engage in the Lord's Trade, who have the jewel of such pre-ordained destiny upon their foreheads. Under Guru's Instruction, the soul dwells in the home of the self; through the True Word of the Shabad, she becomes unattached. By the destiny written upon their foreheads, they become truly unattached, and by reflective meditation, they are imbued with Truth. Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the whole world is insane; through the Shabad, the ego is conquered. Attached to the True Word of the Shabad, wisdom comes forth. The Gurmukh obtains the Naam, the Name of the Husband Lord. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 013 O Nanak, through the Shabad, one meets the Lord, the Destroyer of fear, and by the destiny written on her forehead, she enjoys Him. ||3|| All farming and trading is by Hukam of His Will; surrendering to the Lord's Will, glorious greatness is obtained. Under Guru's Instruction, one comes to understand the Lord's Will, and by His Will, he is united in His Union. By His Will, one merges and easily blends with Him. The Shabads of the Guru are incomparable.

By His Will, one merges and easily blends with Him. The Shabads of the Guru are incomparable. Through the Guru, true greatness is obtained, and one is embellished with Truth. He finds the Destroyer of fear, and eradicates his self-conceit; as Gurmukh, he is united in His Union. Says Nanak, the Name of the immaculate, inaccessible, unfathomable Commander is permeating and pervading everywhere. ||4||2|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: O my mind, contemplate the True Lord forever. Dwell in peace in the home of your own self, and the Messenger of Death shall not touch you. The noose of the Messenger of Death shall not touch you, when you embrace love for the True Word of the Shabad. Ever imbued with the True Lord, the mind becomes immaculate, and its coming and going is ended. The love of duality and doubt have ruined the self-willed manmukh, who is lured away by the Messenger of Death. Says Nanak, listen, O my mind: contemplate the True Lord forever. ||1|| O my mind, the treasure is within you; do not search for it on the outside. Eat only that which is pleasing to the Lord, and as Gurmukh, receive the blessing of His Glance of Grace. As Gurmukh, receive the blessing of His Glance of Grace, O my mind; the Name of the Lord, your help and support, is within you. The self-willed manmukhs are blind, and devoid of wisdom; they are ruined by the love of duality. Without the Name, no one is emancipated. All are bound by the Messenger of Death.

Without the Name, no one is emancipated. All are bound by the Messenger of Death. O Nanak, the treasure is within you; do not search for it on the outside. ||2|| O my mind, obtaining the blessing of this human birth, some are engaged in the trade of Truth. They serve their True Guru, and the Infinite Word of the Shabad resounds within them. Within them is the Infinite Shabad, and the Beloved Naam, the Name of the Lord; through the Naam, the nine treasures are obtained. The self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in emotional attachment to Maya; they suffer in pain, and through duality, they lose their honor. But those who conquer their ego, and merge in the True Shabad, are totally imbued with Truth. O Nanak, it is so difficult to obtain this human life; the True Guru imparts this understanding. ||3|| O my mind, those who serve their True Guru are the most fortunate beings. Those who conquer their minds are beings of renunciation and detachment. They are beings of renunciation and detachment, who lovingly focus their consciousness on the True Lord; they realize and understand their own selves. Their intellect is steady, deep and profound; as Gurmukh, they naturally chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Some are lovers of beautiful young women; emotional attachment to Maya is very dear to them. The unfortunate self-willed manmukhs remain asleep. O Nanak, those who intuitively serve their Guru, have perfect destiny. ||4||3||

O Nanak, those who intuitively serve their Guru, have perfect destiny. ||4||3|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: Purchase the jewel, the invaluable treasure; the True Guru has given this understanding. The profit of profits is the devotional worship of the Lord; one's virtues merge into the virtues of the Lord. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 014 One's virtues merge into the virtues of the Lord; he comes to understand his own self. He earns the profit of devotional worship in this world. Without devotion, there is no peace; through duality, one's honor is lost, but under Guru's Instruction, he is blessed with the Support of the Naam. He ever earns the profit of the merchandise of the Naam, whom the Lord employs in this Trade. He purchases the jewel, the invaluable treasure, unto whom the True Guru has given this understanding. ||1|| The love of Maya is totally painful; this is a bad deal. Speaking falsehood, one eats poison, and the evil within increases greatly. The evil within increases greatly, in this world of doubt; without the Name, one's honor is lost. Reading and studying, the religious scholars argue and debate; but without understanding, there is no peace. Their comings and goings never end; emotional attachment to Maya is dear to them. The love of Maya is totally painful; this is a bad deal. ||2|| The counterfeit and the genuine are all assayed in the Court of the True Lord.

The counterfeit and the genuine are all assayed in the Court of the True Lord. The counterfeit are cast out of the Court, and they stand there, crying out in misery. They stand there, crying out in misery; the foolish, idiotic, self-willed manmukhs have wasted their lives. Maya is the poison which has deluded the world; it does not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord. The self-willed manmukhs are resentful toward the Saints; they harvest only pain in this world. The counterfeit and the genuine are assayed in that True Court of the Lord. ||3|| He Himself acts; who else should I ask? No one else can do anything. As He pleases, He engages us; such is His glorious greatness. Such is His glorious greatness - He Himself causes all to act; no one is a warrior or a coward. The Life of the World, the Great Giver, the Architect of karma - He Himself grants forgiveness. By Guru's Grace, self-conceit is eradicated, O Nanak, and through the Naam, honor is obtained. He Himself acts; who else should I ask? No one else can do anything. ||4||4|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: The True merchandise is the Lord's Name. This is the true trade. Under Guru's Instruction, we trade in the Lord's Name; its value is very great. The value of this true trade is very great; those who are engaged in the true trade are very fortunate. Inwardly and outwardly, they are imbued with devotion, and they enshrine love for the True Name.

Inwardly and outwardly, they are imbued with devotion, and they enshrine love for the True Name. One who is blessed with the Lord's Favor, obtains Truth, and reflects upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad. O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Name find peace; they deal only in the True Name. ||1|| Egotistical involvement in Maya is filth; Maya is overflowing with filth. Under Guru's Instruction, the mind is made pure and the tongue tastes the subtle essence of the Lord. The tongue tastes the subtle essence of the Lord, and deep within, the heart is drenched with His Love, contemplating the True Word of the Shabad. Deep within, the well of the heart is overflowing with the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar; the water-carrier draws and drinks in the water of the Shabad. One who is blessed with the Lord's favor is attuned to the Truth; with his tongue, he chants the Lord's Name. O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are immaculate. The others are full of the filth of egotism. ||2|| All the religious scholars and astrologers read and study, and argue and shout. Who are they trying to teach? Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 015 The filth of attachment to Maya clings to their hearts; they deal in Maya alone. They love to deal in Maya in this world; coming and going, they suffer in pain. The worm of poison is addicted to poison; it is immersed in manure. He does what is pre-ordained for him; no one can erase his destiny.

He does what is pre-ordained for him; no one can erase his destiny. O Nanak, imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, lasting peace is found; the ignorant fools die screaming. ||3|| Their minds are colored by emotional attachment to Maya; because of this emotional attachment, they do not understand. The soul of the Gurmukh is imbued with the Lord's Love; the love of duality departs. The love of duality departs, and the soul merges in Truth; the warehouse is overflowing with Truth. One who becomes Gurmukh, comes to understand; the Lord embellishes him with Truth. He alone merges with the Lord, whom the Lord causes to merge; nothing else can be said or done. O Nanak, without the Name, one is deluded by doubt; but some, imbued with the Name, enshrine love for the Lord. ||4||5|| Wadahans, Third Mehl: O my mind, the world comes and goes in birth and death; only the True Name shall emancipate you in the end. When the True Lord Himself grants forgiveness, then one does not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation again. He does not have to enter the cycle of reincarnation again, and he is emancipated in the end; as Gurmukh, he obtains glorious greatness. Imbued with love for the True Lord, he is intoxicated with celestial bliss, and he remains absorbed in the Celestial Lord. The True Lord is pleasing to his mind; he enshrines the True Lord in his mind; attuned to the Word of the Shabad, he is emancipated in the end.

The True Lord is pleasing to his mind; he enshrines the True Lord in his mind; attuned to the Word of the Shabad, he is emancipated in the end. O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam, merge in the True Lord; they are not cast into the terrifying world-ocean again. ||1|| Emotional attachment to Maya is total madness; through the love of duality, one is ruined. Mother and father - all are subject to this love; in this love, they are entangled. They are entangled in this love, on account of their past actions, which no one can erase. The One who created the Universe, beholds it; no other is as great as He. The blind, self-willed manmukh is consumed by his burning rage; without the Word of the Shabad, peace is not obtained. O Nanak, without the Name, everyone is deluded, ruined by emotional attachment to Maya. ||2|| Seeing that this world on fire, I have hurried to the Sanctuary of the Lord. I offer my prayer to the Perfect Guru: please save me, and bless me with Your glorious greatness. Preserve me in Your Sanctuary, and bless me with the glorious greatness of the Name of the Lord; there is no other Giver as great as You. Those who are engaged in serving You are very fortunate; throughout the ages, they know the One Lord. You may practice celibacy, truth, austere self-discipline and rituals, but without the Guru, you shall not be emancipated. O Nanak, he alone understands the Word of the Shabad, who goes and seeks the Lord's Sanctuary. ||3||

O Nanak, he alone understands the Word of the Shabad, who goes and seeks the Lord's Sanctuary. ||3|| That understanding, imparted by the Lord, wells up; there is no other understanding. Deep within, and beyond as well, You alone are, O Lord; You Yourself impart this understanding. One whom He Himself blesses with this understanding, does not love any other. As Gurmukh, he tastes the subtle essence of the Lord. In the True Court, he is forever True; with love, he chants the True Word of the Shabad. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 016 Within his home, he finds the home of his own being; the True Guru blesses him with glorious greatness. O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence; their understanding is true, and approved. ||4||6|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl, Chhant: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: My mind, my mind - the True Guru has blessed it with the Lord's Love. He has enshrined the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, within my mind. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, dwells within my mind; He is the Destroyer of all pain. By great good fortune, I have obtained the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan; blessed, blessed is my True Guru. While standing up and sitting down, I serve the True Guru; serving Him, I have found peace. My mind, my mind - the True Guru has blessed it with the Lord's Love. ||1|| I live, I live, and I blossom forth, beholding the True Guru.

I live, I live, and I blossom forth, beholding the True Guru. The Name of the Lord, the Name of the Lord, He has implanted within me; chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I blossom forth. Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, the heart-lotus blossoms forth, and through the Name of the Lord, I have obtained the nine treasures. The disease of egotism has been eradicated, suffering has been eliminated, and I have entered the Lord's state of celestial Samaadhi. I have obtained the glorious greatness of Name of the Lord from the True Guru; beholding the Divine True Guru, my mind is at peace. I live, I live, and I blossom forth, beholding the True Guru. ||2|| If only someone would come, if only someone would come, and lead me to meet my Perfect True Guru. My mind and body, my mind and body - I cut my body into pieces, and I dedicate these to Him. Cutting my mind and body apart, cutting them into pieces, I offer these to the one, who recites to me the Words of the True Guru. My unattached mind has renounced the world; obtaining the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan, it has found peace. O Lord, Har, Har, O Giver of Peace, please, grant Your Grace, and bless me with the dust of the feet of the True Guru. If only someone would come, if only someone would come, and lead me to meet my Perfect True Guru. ||3|| A Giver as great as the Guru, as great as the Guru - I cannot see any other.

A Giver as great as the Guru, as great as the Guru - I cannot see any other. He blesses me with the gift of the Lord's Name, the gift of the Lord's Name; He is the Immaculate Lord God. Those who worship in adoration the Name of the Lord, Har, Har - their pain, doubts and fears are dispelled. Through their loving service, those very fortunate ones, whose minds are attached to the Guru's Feet, meet Him. Says Nanak, the Lord Himself causes us to meet the Guru; meeting the Almighty True Guru, peace is obtained. A Giver as great as the Guru, as great as the Guru - I cannot see any other. ||4||1|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl: Without the Guru, I am - without the Guru, I am totally dishonored. The Life of the World, the Life of the World, the Great Giver has led me to meet and merge with the Guru. Meeting with the True Guru, I have merged into the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and meditate on it. I was seeking and searching for Him, the Lord, my best friend, and I have found Him within the home of my own being. Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 017 I see the One Lord, and I know the One Lord; I realize Him within my soul. Without the Guru, I am - without the Guru, I am totally dishonored. ||1|| Those who have found the True Guru, the True Guru, the Lord God unites them in His Union. Their feet, their feet, I adore; I fall at their feet. O Lord, Har, Har, I adore the feet of those who meditate on the True Guru, and the Almighty Lord God.

O Lord, Har, Har, I adore the feet of those who meditate on the True Guru, and the Almighty Lord God. You are the Greatest Giver, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts; please, reward my faith, O Lord King. Meeting the Gursikh, my faith is rewarded; night and day, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Those who have found the True Guru, the True Guru, the Lord God unites them in His Union. ||2|| I am a sacrifice, I am a sacrifice to the Gursikhs, my dear friends. They chant the Lord's Name, the Lord's Name; the Beloved Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my only Support. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is the companion of my breath of life; without it, I cannot live for an instant or a moment. The Lord, Har, Har, the Giver of peace, shows His Mercy, and the Gurmukh drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar. The Lord blesses him with faith, and unites him in His Union; He Himself adorns him. I am a sacrifice, I am a sacrifice to the Gursikhs, my dear friends. ||3|| The Lord Himself, the Lord Himself, is the Immaculate Almighty Lord God. The Lord Himself, the Lord Himself, unites us with Himself; that which He does, comes to pass. Whatever is pleasing to the Lord God, that alone comes to pass; nothing else can be done. Even by very clever tricks, He cannot be obtained; all have grown weary of practicing cleverness. By Guru's Grace, servant Nanak beholds the Lord; without the Lord, I have no other at all.

By Guru's Grace, servant Nanak beholds the Lord; without the Lord, I have no other at all. The Lord Himself, the Lord Himself, is the Immaculate Almighty Lord God. ||4||2|| Wadahans, Fourth Mehl: The Lord, the True Guru, the Lord, the True Guru - if only I could meet the Lord, the True Guru; His Lotus Feet are so pleasing to me. The darkness of my ignorance was dispelled, when the Guru applied the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom to my eyes. The True Guru has applied the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom to my eyes, and the darkness of ignorance has been dispelled. Serving the Guru, I have obtained the supreme status; I meditate on the Lord with every breath, and every morsel of food. Those, upon whom the Lord God has bestowed His Grace, are committed to the service of the True Guru. The Lord, the True Guru, the Lord, the True Guru - if only I could meet the Lord, the True Guru; His Lotus Feet are so pleasing to me. ||1|| My True Guru, my True Guru is my Beloved; without the Guru, I cannot live. He gives me the Name of the Lord, the Name of the Lord, my only companion in the end. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is my only companion in the end; the Guru, the True Guru, has implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me. There, where neither child nor spouse shall accompany you, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har shall emancipate you. Blessed, blessed is the True Guru, the Immaculate, Almighty Lord God; meeting Him, I meditate on the Name of the Lord.

Blessed, blessed is the True Guru, the Immaculate, Almighty Lord God; meeting Him, I meditate on the Name of the Lord. My True Guru, my True Guru is my Beloved; without the Guru, I cannot live. ||2|| Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 018 Those who have not obtained the Blessed Vision, the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the True Guru, the Almighty Lord God, they have fruitlessly, fruitlessly wasted their whole lives in vain. They have wasted away their whole lives in vain; those faithless cynics die a regretful death. They have the jewel-treasure in their own homes, but still, they are hungry; those unlucky wretches are far away from the Lord. O Lord, please, let me not see those who do not meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and who have not obtained the Blessed Vision, the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the True Guru, the Almighty Lord God. ||3|| I am a song-bird, I am a meek song-bird; I offer my prayer to the Lord. If only I could meet the Guru, meet the Guru, O my Beloved; I dedicate myself to the devotional worship of the True Guru. I worship the Lord, Har, Har, and the True Guru; the Lord God has granted His Grace. Without the Guru, I have no other friend. The Guru, the True Guru, is my very breath of life. Says Nanak, the Guru has implanted the Naam within me; the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, the True Name. I am a song-bird, I am a meek song-bird; I offer my prayer to the Lord. ||4||3||
