Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:\nWithout You, nothing happens.\nYou create the creatures, and gazing on them, you know them. ||1||\nWhat can I say? I cannot say anything.\nWhatever exists, is by Your Will. ||Pause||\nWhatever is to be done, rests with You.\nUnto whom should I offer my prayer? ||2||\nI speak and hear the Bani of Your Word.\nYou Yourself know all Your Wondrous Play. ||3||\nYou Yourself act, and inspire all to act; only You Yourself know.\nSays Nanak, You, Lord, see, establish and disestablish. ||4||1||\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nRaag Bhairao, First Mehl, Second House:\nThrough the Word of the Guru's Shabad, so many silent sages have been saved; Indra and Brahma have also been saved.\nSanak, Sanandan and many humble men of austerity, by Guru's Grace, have been carried across to the other side. ||1||\nWithout the Word of the Shabad, how can anyone cross over the terrifying world-ocean?\nWithout the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is entangled in the disease of duality, and is drowned, drowned, and dies. ||1||Pause||\nThe Guru is Divine; the Guru is Inscrutable and Mysterious. Serving the Guru, the three worlds are known and understood.\nThe Guru, the Giver, has Himself given me the Gift; I have obtained the Inscrutable, Mysterious Lord. ||2||\nThe mind is the king; the mind is appeased and satisfied through the mind itself, and desire is stilled in the mind.\nThe mind is the Yogi, the mind wastes away in separation from the Lord; singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the mind is instructed and reformed. ||3||\nHow very rare are those in this world who, through the Guru, subdue their minds, and contemplate the Word of the Shabad.\nO Nanak, our Lord and Master is All-pervading; through the True Word of the Shabad, we are emancipated. ||4||1||2||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nThe eyes lose their sight, and the body withers away; old age overtakes the mortal, and death hangs over his head.\nBeauty, loving attachment and the pleasures of life are not permanent. How can anyone escape from the noose of death? ||1||\nO mortal, meditate on the Lord - your life is passing away!\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 002\nWithout the True Word of the Shabad, you shall never be released, and your life shall be totally useless. ||1||Pause||\nWithin the body are sexual desire, anger, egotism and attachment. This pain is so great, and so difficult to endure.\nAs Gurmukh, chant the Lord's Name, and savor it with your tongue; in this way, you shall cross over to the other side. ||2||\nYour ears are deaf, and your intellect is worthless, and still, you do not intuitively understand the Word of the Shabad.\nThe self-willed manmukh wastes this priceless human life and loses it. Without the Guru, the blind person cannot see. ||3||\nWhoever remains detached and free of desire in the midst of desire - and whoever, unattached, intuitively meditates on the Celestial Lord\n- prays Nanak, as Gurmukh, he is released. He is lovingly attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||||2||3||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nHis walk becomes weak and clumsy, his feet and hands shake, and the skin of his body is withered and wrinkled.\nHis eyes are dim, his ears are deaf, and yet, the self-willed manmukh does not know the Naam. ||1||\nO blind man, what have you obtained by coming into the world?\nThe Lord is not in your heart, and you do not serve the Guru. After wasting your capital, you shall have to depart. ||1||Pause||\nYour tongue is not imbued with the Love of the Lord; whatever you say is tasteless and insipid.\nYou indulge in slander of the Saints; becoming a beast, you shall never be noble. ||2||\nOnly a few obtain the sublime essence of the Ambrosial Amrit, united in Union with the True Guru.\nAs long as the mortal does not come to understand the mystery of the Shabad, the Word of God, he shall continue to be tormented by death. ||3||\nWhoever finds the door of the One True Lord, does not know any other house or door.\nBy Guru's Grace, I have obtained the supreme status; so says poor Nanak. ||4||3||4||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nHe spends the entire night in sleep; the noose is tied around his neck. His day is wasted in worldly entanglements.\nHe does not know God, who created this world, for a moment, for even an instant. ||1||\nO mortal, how will you escape this terrible disaster?\nWhat did you bring with you, and what will you take away? Meditate on the Lord, the Most Worthy and Generous Lord. ||1||Pause||\nThe heart-lotus of the self-willed manmukh is upside-down; his intellect is shallow; his mind is blind, and his head is entangled in worldly affairs.\nDeath and re-birth constantly hang over your head; without the Name, your neck shall be caught in the noose. ||2||\nYour steps are unsteady, and your eyes are blind; you are not aware of the Word of the Shabad, O Sibling of Destiny.\nThe Shaastras and the Vedas keep the mortal bound to the three modes of Maya, and so he performs his deeds blindly. ||3||\nHe loses his capital - how can he earn any profit? The evil-minded person has no spiritual wisdom at all.\nContemplating the Shabad, he drinks in the sublime essence of the Lord; O Nanak, his faith is confirmed in the Truth. ||4||4||5||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nHe remains with the Guru, day and night, and his tongue savors the savory taste of the Lord's Love.\nHe does not know any other; he realizes the Word of the Shabad. He knows and realizes the Lord deep within his own being. ||1||\nSuch a humble person is pleasing to my mind.\nHe conquers his self-conceit, and is imbued with the Infinite Lord. He serves the Guru. ||1||Pause||\nDeep within my being, and outside as well, is the Immaculate Lord God. I bow humbly before that Primal Lord God.\nDeep within each and every heart, and amidst all, the Embodiment of Truth is permeating and pervading. ||2||\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 003\nThose who are imbued with Truth - their tongues are tinged with Truth; they do not have even an iota of the filth of falsehood.\nThey taste the sweet Ambrosial Nectar of the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord; imbued with the Shabad, they are blessed with honor. ||3||\nThe virtuous meet with the virtuous, and earn the profit; as Gurmukh, they obtain the glorious greatness of the Naam.\nAll sorrows are erased, by serving the Guru; O Nanak, the Naam is our only Friend and Companion. ||4||5||6||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nThe Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the wealth and support of all; It is enshrined in the heart, by Guru's Grace.\nOne who gathers this imperishable wealth is fulfilled, and through intuitive meditation, is lovingly focused on the Lord. ||1||\nO mortal, focus your consciousness on devotional worship of the Lord.\nAs Gurmukh, meditate on the Name of the Lord in your heart, and you shall return to your home with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||\nDoubt, separation and fear are never eradicated, and the mortal continues coming and going in reincarnation, as long as he does not know the Lord.\nWithout the Name of the Lord, no one is liberated; they drown and die without water. ||2||\nBusy with his worldly affairs, all honor is lost; the ignorant one is not rid of his doubts.\nWithout the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the mortal is never liberated; he remains blindly entangled in the expanse of worldly affairs. ||3||\nMy mind is pleased and appeased with the Immaculate Lord, who has no ancestry. Through the mind itself, the mind is subdued.\nDeep within my being, and outside as well, I know only the One Lord. O Nanak, there is no other at all. ||4||6||7||\nBhairao, First Mehl:\nYou may give feasts, make burnt offerings, donate to charity, perform austere penance and worship, and endure pain and suffering in the body.\nBut without the Lord's Name, liberation is not obtained. As Gurmukh, obtain the Naam and liberation. ||1||\nWithout the Lord's Name, birth into the world is useless.\nWithout the Name, the mortal eats poison and speaks poisonous words; he dies fruitlessly, and wanders in reincarnation. ||1||Pause||\nThe mortal may read scriptures, study grammar and say his prayers three times a day.\nWithout the Word of the Guru's Shabad, where is liberation, O mortal? Without the Lord's Name, the mortal is entangled and dies. ||2||\nWalking sticks, begging bowls, hair tufts, sacred threads, loin cloths, pilgrimages to sacred shrines and wandering all around\n- without the Lord's Name, peace and tranquility are not obtained. One who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, crosses over to the other side. ||3||\nThe mortal's hair may be matted and tangled upon his head, and he may smear his body with ashes; he may take off his clothes and go naked.\nBut without the Lord's Name, he is not satisfied; he wears religious robes, but he is bound by the karma of the actions he committed in past lives. ||4||\nAs many beings and creatures as there are in the water, on the land and in the sky - wherever they are, You are with them all, O Lord.\nBy Guru's Grace, please preserve Your humble servant; O Lord, Nanak stirs up this juice, and drinks it in. ||5||7||8||\nRaag Bhairao, Third Mehl, Chaupadas, First House:\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nNo one should be proud of his social class and status.\nHe alone is a Brahmin, who knows God. ||1||\nDo not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool!\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 004\nSo much sin and corruption comes from this pride. ||1||Pause||\nEveryone says that there are four castes, four social classes.\nThey all emanate from the drop of God's Seed. ||2||\nThe entire universe is made of the same clay.\nThe Potter has shaped it into all sorts of vessels. ||3||\nThe five elements join together, to make up the form of the human body.\nWho can say which is less, and which is more? ||4||\nSays Nanak, this soul is bound by its actions.\nWithout meeting the True Guru, it is not liberated. ||5||1||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThe Yogis, the householders, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the beggars in religious robes\n- they are all asleep in egotism. ||1||\nThey are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya.\nOnly those who remain awake and aware are not robbed. ||1||Pause||\nOne who has met the True Guru, remains awake and aware.\nSuch a person overpowers the five thieves. ||2||\nOne who contemplates the essence of reality remains awake and aware.\nHe kills his self-conceit, and does not kill anyone else. ||3||\nOne who knows the One Lord remains awake and aware.\nHe abandons the service of others, and realizes the essence of reality. ||4||\nOf the four castes, whoever remains awake and aware\nis released from birth and death. ||5||\nSays Nanak, that humble being remains awake and aware,\nwho applies the ointment of spiritual wisdom to his eyes. ||6||2||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nWhoever the Lord keeps in His Sanctuary,\nis attached to the Truth, and receives the fruit of Truth. ||1||\nO mortal, unto whom will you complain?\nThe Hukam of the Lord's Command is pervasive; by the Hukam of His Command, all things happen. ||1||Pause||\nThis Creation was established by You.\nIn an instant You destroy it, and You create it again without a moment's delay. ||2||\nBy His Grace, He has staged this Play.\nBy the Guru's Merciful Grace, I have obtained the supreme status. ||3||\nSays Nanak, He alone kills and revives.\nUnderstand this well - do not be confused by doubt. ||4||3||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nI am the bride; the Creator is my Husband Lord.\nAs He inspires me, I adorn myself. ||1||\nWhen it pleases Him, He enjoys me.\nI am joined, body and mind, to my True Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||\nHow can anyone praise or slander anyone else?\nThe One Lord Himself is pervading and permeating all. ||2||\nBy Guru's Grace, I am attracted by His Love.\nI shall meet with my Merciful Lord, and vibrate the Panch Shabad, the Five Primal Sounds. ||3||\nPrays Nanak, what can anyone do?\nHe alone meets with the Lord, whom the Lord Himself meets. ||4||4||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nHe alone is a silent sage, who subdues his mind's duality.\nSubduing his duality, he contemplates God. ||1||\nLet each person examine his own mind, O Siblings of Destiny.\nExamine your mind, and you shall obtain the nine treasures of the Naam. ||1||Pause||\nThe Creator created the world, upon the foundation of worldly love and attachment.\nAttaching it to possessiveness, He has led it into confusion with doubt. ||2||\nFrom this Mind come all bodies, and the breath of life.\nBy mental contemplation, the mortal realizes the Hukam of the Lord's Command, and merges in Him. ||3||\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 005\nWhen the mortal has good karma, the Guru grants His Grace.\nThen this mind is awakened, and the duality of this mind is subdued. ||4||\nIt is the innate nature of the mind to remain forever detached.\nThe Detached, Dispassionate Lord dwells within all. ||5||\nSays Nanak, one who understands this mystery,\nbecomes the embodiment of the Primal, Immaculate, Divine Lord God. ||6||5||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThe world is saved through Name of the Lord.\nIt carries the mortal across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||\nBy Guru's Grace, dwell upon the Lord's Name.\nIt shall stand by you forever. ||1||Pause||\nThe foolish self-willed manmukhs do not remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord.\nWithout the Name, how will they cross over? ||2||\nThe Lord, the Great Giver, Himself gives His Gifts.\nCelebrate and praise the Great Giver! ||3||\nGranting His Grace, the Lord unites the mortals with the True Guru.\nO Nanak, the Naam is enshrined within the heart. ||4||6||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nAll people are saved through the Naam, the Name of the Lord.\nThose who become Gurmukh are blessed to receive It. ||1||\nWhen the Dear Lord showers His Mercy,\nHe blesses the Gurmukh with the glorious greatness of the Naam. ||1||Pause||\nThose who love the Beloved Name of the Lord\nsave themselves, and save all their ancestors. ||2||\nWithout the Name, the self-willed manmukhs go to the City of Death.\nThey suffer in pain and endure beatings. ||3||\nWhen the Creator Himself gives,\nO Nanak, then the mortals receive the Naam. ||4||7||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nLove of the Lord of the Universe saved Sanak and his brother, the sons of Brahma.\nThey contemplated the Word of the Shabad, and the Name of the Lord. ||1||\nO Dear Lord, please shower me with Your Mercy,\nthat as Gurmukh, I may embrace love for Your Name. ||1||Pause||\nWhoever has true loving devotional worship deep within his being\nmeets the Lord, through the Perfect Guru. ||2||\nHe naturally, intuitively dwells within the home of his own inner being.\nThe Naam abides within the mind of the Gurmukh. ||3||\nThe Lord, the Seer, Himself sees.\nO Nanak, enshrine the Naam within your heart. ||4||8||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nIn this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, enshrine the Lord's Name within your heart.\nWithout the Name, ashes will be blown in your face. ||1||\nThe Lord's Name is so difficult to obtain, O Siblings of Destiny.\nBy Guru's Grace, it comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||Pause||\nThat humble being who seeks the Lord's Name,\nreceives it from the Perfect Guru. ||2||\nThose humble beings who accept the Will of the Lord, are approved and accepted.\nThrough the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they bear the insignia of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||\nSo serve the One, whose power supports the Universe.\nO Nanak, the Gurmukh loves the Naam. ||4||9||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nIn this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, many rituals are performed.\nBut it is not the time for them, and so they are of no use. ||1||\nIn Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the most sublime.\nAs Gurmukh, be lovingly attached to Truth. ||1||Pause||\nSearching my body and mind, I found Him within the home of my own heart.\nThe Gurmukh centers his consciousness on the Lord's Name. ||2||\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 006\nThe ointment of spiritual wisdom is obtained from the True Guru.\nThe Lord's Name is pervading the three worlds. ||3||\nIn Kali Yuga, it is the time for the One Dear Lord; it is not the time for anything else.\nO Nanak, as Gurmukh, let the Lord's Name grow within your heart. ||4||10||\nBhairao, Third Mehl, Second House:\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nThe self-willed manmukhs are afflicted with the disease of duality; they are burnt by the intense fire of desire.\nThey die and die again, and are reborn; they find no place of rest. They waste their lives uselessly. ||1||\nO my Beloved, grant Your Grace, and give me understanding.\nThe world was created in the disease of egotism; without the Word of the Shabad, the disease is not cured. ||1||Pause||\nThere are so many silent sages, who read the Simritees and the Shaastras; without the Shabad, they have no clear awareness.\nAll those under the influence of the three qualities are afflicted with the disease; through possessiveness, they lose their awareness. ||2||\nO God, you save some, and you enjoin others to serve the Guru.\nThey obtain the treasure of the Name of the Lord; peace comes to abide within their minds. ||3||\nThe Gurmukhs dwell in the fourth state; they obtain a dwelling in the home of their own inner being.\nThe Perfect True Guru shows His Mercy to them; they eradicate their self-conceit from within. ||4||\nEveryone must serve the One Lord, who created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.\nO Nanak, the One True Lord is permanent and stable. He does not die, and He is not born. ||5||1||11||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThe self-willed manmukh is afflicted with the disease of duality forever; the entire universe is diseased.\nThe Gurmukh understands, and is cured of the disease, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||\nO Dear Lord, please let me join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.\nO Nanak, the Lord blesses with glorious greatness, those who focus their consciousness on the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||\nDeath takes all those who are afflicted with the disease of possessiveness. They are subject to the Messenger of Death.\nThe Messenger of Death does not even approach that mortal who, as Gurmukh, enshrines the Lord within his heart. ||2||\nOne who does not know the Lord's Name, and who does not become Gurmukh - why did he even come into the world?\nHe never serves the Guru; he wastes his life uselessly. ||3||\nO Nanak, those whom the True Guru enjoins to His service, have perfect good fortune.\nThey obtain the fruits of their desires, and find peace in the Word of the Guru's Bani. ||4||2||12||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nIn pain he is born, in pain he dies, and in pain he does his deeds.\nHe is never released from the womb of reincarnation; he rots away in manure. ||1||\nCursed, cursed is the self-willed manmukh, who wastes his life away.\nHe does not serve the Perfect Guru; he does not love the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||\nThe Word of the Guru's Shabad cures all diseases; he alone is attached to it, whom the Dear Lord attaches.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 007\nThrough the Naam, glorious greatness is obtained; he alone obtains it, whose mind is filled with the Lord. ||2||\nMeeting the True Guru, the fruitful rewards are obtained. This true lifestyle beings sublime peace.\nThose humble beings who are attached to the Lord are immaculate; they enshrine love for the Lord's Name. ||3||\nIf I obtain the dust of their feet, I apply it to my forehead. They meditate on the Perfect True Guru.\nO Nanak, this dust is obtained only by perfect destiny. They focus their consciousness on the Lord's Name. ||4||3||13||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThat humble being who contemplates the Word of the Shabad is true; the True Lord is within his heart.\nIf someone performs true devotional worship day and night, then his body will not feel pain. ||1||\nEveryone calls him, \"Devotee, devotee.\"\nBut without serving the True Guru, devotional worship is not obtained. Only through perfect destiny does one meet God. ||1||Pause||\nThe self-willed manmukhs lose their capital, and still, they demand profits. How can they earn any profit?\nThe Messenger of Death is always hovering above their heads. In the love of duality, they lose their honor. ||2||\nTrying on all sorts of religious robes, they wander around day and night, but the disease of their egotism is not cured.\nReading and studying, they argue and debate; attached to Maya, they lose their awareness. ||3||\nThose who serve the True Guru are blessed with the supreme status; through the Naam, they are blessed with glorious greatness.\nO Nanak, those whose minds are filled with the Naam, are honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||4||4||14||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThe self-willed manmukh cannot escape false hope. In the love of duality, he is ruined.\nHis belly is like a river - it is never filled up. He is consumed by the fire of desire. ||1||\nEternally blissful are those who are imbued with the sublime essence of the Lord.\nThe Naam, the Name of the Lord, fills their hearts, and duality runs away from their minds. Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord, Har, Har, they are satisfied. ||1||Pause||\nThe Supreme Lord God Himself created the Universe; He links each and every person to their tasks.\nHe Himself created love and attachment to Maya; He Himself attaches the mortals to duality. ||2||\nIf there were any other, then I would speak to him; all will be merged in You.\nThe Gurmukh contemplates the essence of spiritual wisdom; his light merges into the Light. ||3||\nGod is True, Forever True, and all His Creation is True.\nO Nanak, the True Guru has given me this understanding; the True Name brings emancipation. ||4||5||15||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nIn this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, those who do not realize the Lord are goblins. In the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, the supreme soul-swans contemplated the Lord.\nIn the Silver Age of Dwaapur Yuga, and the Brass Age of Traytaa Yuga, mankind prevailed, but only a rare few subdued their egos. ||1||\nIn this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, glorious greatness is obtained through the Lord's Name.\nIn each and every age, the Gurmukhs know the One Lord; without the Name, liberation is not attained. ||1||Pause||\nThe Naam, the Name of the Lord, is revealed in the heart of the True Lord's humble servant. It dwells in the mind of the Gurmukh.\nThose who are lovingly focused on the Lord's Name save themselves; they save all their ancestors as well. ||2||\nMy Lord God is the Giver of virtue. The Word of the Shabad burns away all faults and demerits.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 008\nThose whose minds are filled with the Naam are beautiful; they enshrine the Naam within their hearts. ||3||\nThe True Guru has revealed to me the Lord's Home and His Court, and the Mansion of His Presence. I joyfully enjoy His Love.\nWhatever He says, I accept as good; Nanak chants the Naam. ||4||6||16||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nThe desires of the mind are absorbed in the mind, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.\nUnderstanding is obtained from the Perfect Guru, and then the mortal does not die over and over again. ||1||\nMy mind takes the Support of the Lord's Name.\nBy Guru's Grace, I have obtained the supreme status; the Lord is the Fulfiller of all desires. ||1||Pause||\nThe One Lord is permeating and pervading amongst all; without the Guru, this understanding is not obtained.\nMy Lord God has been revealed to me, and I have become Gurmukh. Night and day, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||\nThe One Lord is the Giver of peace; peace is not found anywhere else.\nThose who do not serve the Giver, the True Guru, depart regretfully in the end. ||3||\nServing the True Guru, lasting peace is obtained, and the mortal does not suffer in pain any longer.\nNanak has been blessed with devotional worship of the Lord; his light has merged into the Light. ||4||7||17||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nWithout the Guru, the world is insane; confused and deluded, it is beaten, and it suffers.\nIt dies and dies again, and is reborn, always in pain, but it is unaware of the Lord's Gate. ||1||\nO my mind, remain always in the Protection of the True Guru's Sanctuary.\nThose people, to whose hearts the Lord's Name seems sweet, are carried across the terrifying world-ocean by the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||\nThe mortal wears various religious robes, but his consciousness is unsteady; deep within, he is filled with sexual desire, anger and egotism.\nDeep within is the great thirst and immense hunger; he wanders from door to door. ||2||\nThose who die in the Word of the Guru's Shabad are reborn; they find the door of liberation.\nWith constant peace and tranquility deep within, they enshrine the Lord within their hearts. ||3||\nAs it pleases Him, He inspires us to act. Nothing else can be done.\nO Nanak, the Gurmukh contemplates the Word of the Shabad, and is blessed with the glorious greatness of the Lord's Name. ||4||8||18||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nLost in egotism, Maya and attachment, the mortal earns pain, and eats pain.\nThe great disease, the rabid disease of greed, is deep within him; he wanders around indiscriminately. ||1||\nThe life of the self-willed manmukh in this world is cursed.\nHe does not remember the Lord's Name, even in his dreams. He is never in love with the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||\nHe acts like a beast, and does not understand anything. Practicing falsehood, he becomes false.\nBut when the mortal meets the True Guru, his way of looking at the world changes. How rare are those humble beings who seek and find the Lord. ||2||\nThat person, whose heart is forever filled with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, obtains the Lord, the Treasure of Virtue.\nBy Guru's Grace, he finds the Perfect Lord; the egotistical pride of his mind is eradicated. ||3||\nThe Creator Himself acts, and causes all to act. He Himself places us on the path.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 009\nHe Himself blesses the Gurmukh with glorious greatness; O Nanak, he merges in the Naam. ||4||9||19||\nBhairao, Third Mehl:\nUpon my writing tablet, I write the Name of the Lord, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the World.\nIn the love of duality, the mortals are caught in the noose of the Messenger of Death.\nThe True Guru nurtures and sustains me.\nThe Lord, the Giver of peace, is always with me. ||1||\nFollowing his Guru's instructions, Prahlaad chanted the Lord's Name;\nhe was a child, but he was not afraid when his teacher yelled at him. ||1||Pause||\nPrahlaad's mother gave her beloved son some advice:\n\"My son, you must abandon the Lord's Name, and save your life!\"\nPrahlaad said: \"Listen, O my mother;\nI shall never give up the Lord's Name.

The Lord is pervading everywhere. ||1||\nIn love and attachment to Maya, the mortals are sad, and are consumed by sadness.\nWithout the Name, they wander and wander and wander, and waste away. ||1||Pause||\nWe should feel sad, if there were another Creator Lord.\nWe should feel sad, if someone dies by injustice.\nWe should feel sad, if something were not known to the Lord.\nBut why should we feel sad? The Lord is totally permeating everywhere. ||2||\nWe should feel sad, if God were a tyrant.\nWe should feel sad, if He made us suffer by mistake.\nThe Guru says that whatever happens is all by God's Will.\nSo I have abandoned sadness, and I now sleep without anxiety. ||3||\nO God, You alone are my Lord and Master; all belong to You.\nAccording to Your Will, You pass judgement.\nThere is no other at all; the One Lord is permeating and pervading everywhere.\nPlease save Nanak's honor; I have come to Your Sanctuary. ||4||5||18||\nBhairao, Fifth Mehl:\nWithout music, how is one to dance?\nWithout a voice, how is one to sing?\nWithout strings, how is a guitar to be played?\nWithout the Naam, all affairs are useless. ||1||\nWithout the Naam - tell me: who has ever been saved?\nWithout the True Guru, how can anyone cross over to the other side? ||1||Pause||\nWithout a tongue, how can anyone speak?\nWithout ears, how can anyone hear?\nWithout eyes, how can anyone see?\nWithout the Naam, the mortal is of no account at all. ||2||\nWithout learning, how can one be a Pandit - a religious scholar?\nWithout power, what is the glory of an empire?\nWithout understanding, how can the mind become steady?\nWithout the Naam, the whole world is insane. ||3||\nWithout detachment, how can one be a detached hermit?\nWithout renouncing egotism, how can anyone be a renunciate?\nWithout overcoming the five thieves, how can the mind be subdued?\nWithout the Naam, the mortal regrets and repents forever and ever. ||4||\nWithout the Guru's Teachings, how can anyone obtain spiritual wisdom?\nWithout seeing - tell me: how can anyone visualize in meditation?\nWithout the Fear of God, all speech in useless.\nSays Nanak, this is the wisdom of the Lord's Court. ||5||6||19||\nBhairao, Fifth Mehl:\nMankind is afflicted with the disease of egotism.\nThe disease of sexual desire overwhelms the elephant.\nBecause of the disease of vision, the moth is burnt to death.\nBecause of the disease of the sound of the bell, the deer is lured to its death. ||1||\nWhoever I see is diseased.\nOnly my True Guru, the True Yogi, is free of disease. ||1||Pause||\nBecause of the disease of taste, the fish is caught.\nBecause of the disease of smell, the bumble bee is destroyed.\nThe whole world is caught in the disease of attachment.\nIn the disease of the three qualities, corruption is multiplied. ||2||\nIn disease the mortals die, and in disease they are born.\nIn disease they wander in reincarnation again and again.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 017\nEntangled in disease, they cannot stay still, even for an instant.\nWithout the True Guru, the disease is never cured. ||3||\nWhen the Supreme Lord God grants His Mercy,\nHe grabs hold of the mortal's arm, and pulls him up and out of the disease.\nReaching the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the mortal's bonds are broken.\nSays Nanak, the Guru cures him of the disease. ||4||7||20||\nBhairao, Fifth Mehl:\nWhen He comes to mind, then I am in supreme bliss.\nWhen He comes to mind, then all my pains are shattered.\nWhen He comes to mind, my hopes are fulfilled.\nWhen He comes to mind, I never feel sadness. ||1||\nDeep within my being, my Sovereign Lord King has revealed Himself to me.\nThe Perfect Guru has inspired me to love Him. ||1||Pause||\nWhen He comes to mind, I am the king of all.\nWhen He comes to mind, all my affairs are completed.\nWhen He comes to mind, I am dyed in the deep crimson of His Love.\nWhen He comes to mind, I am ecstatic forever. ||2||\nWhen He comes to mind, I am wealthy forever.\nWhen He comes to mind, I am free of doubt forever.\nWhen He comes to mind, then I enjoy all pleasures.\nWhen He comes to mind, I am rid of fear. ||3||\nWhen He comes to mind, I find the home of peace and poise.\nWhen He comes to mind, I am absorbed in the Primal Void of God.\nWhen He comes to mind, I continually sing the Kirtan of His Praises.\nNanak's mind is pleased and satisfied with the Lord God. ||4||8||21||\nBhairao, Fifth Mehl:\nMy Father is Eternal, forever alive.\nMy brothers live forever as well.\nMy friends are permanent and imperishable.\nMy family abides in the home of the self within. ||1||\nI have found peace, and so all are at peace.\nThe Perfect Guru has united me with my Father. ||1||Pause||\nMy mansions are the highest of all.\nMy countries are infinite and uncountable.\nMy kingdom is eternally stable.\nMy wealth is inexhaustible and permanent. ||2||\nMy glorious reputation resounds throughout the ages.\nMy fame has spread in all places and interspaces.\nMy praises echo in each and every house.\nMy devotional worship is known to all people. ||3||\nMy Father has revealed Himself within me.\nThe Father and son have joined together in partnership.\nSays Nanak, when my Father is pleased,\nthen the Father and son are joined together in love, and become one. ||4||9||22||\nBhairao, Fifth Mehl:\nThe True Guru, the Primal Being, is free of revenge and hate;

||1||\nI focus my meditation on my inner self, deep within.\nThe Name of the Sovereign Lord is my spiritual wisdom. ||1||Pause||\nIn the first chakra, the root chakra, I have grasped the reins and tied them.\nI have firmly placed the moon above the sun.\nThe sun blazes forth at the western gate.\nThrough the central channel of the Shushmanaa, it rises up above my head. ||2||\nThere is a stone at that western gate,\nand above that stone, is another window.\nAbove that window is the Tenth Gate.\nSays Kabeer, it has no end or limitation. ||3||2||10||\nHe alone is a Mullah, who struggles with his mind,\nand through the Guru's Teachings, fights with death.\nHe crushes the pride of the Messenger of Death.\nUnto that Mullah, I ever offer greetings of respect. ||1||\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 036\nGod is present, right here at hand; why do you say that He is far away?\nTie up your disturbing passions, and find the Beauteous Lord. ||1||Pause||\nHe alone is a Qazi, who contemplates the human body,\nand through the fire of the body, is illumined by God.\nHe does not lose his semen, even in his dreams;\nfor such a Qazi, there is no old age or death. ||2||\nHe alone is a sultan and a king, who shoots the two arrows,\ngathers in his outgoing mind,\nand assembles his army in the realm of the mind's sky, the Tenth Gate.\nThe canopy of royalty waves over such a sultan. ||3||\nThe Yogi cries out, \"Gorakh, Gorakh\".\nThe Hindu utters the Name of Raam.\nThe Muslim has only One God.\nThe Lord and Master of Kabeer is all-pervading. ||4||3||11||\nFifth Mehl:\nThose who call a stone their god\n- their service is useless.\nThose who fall at the feet of a stone god\n- their work is wasted in vain. ||1||\nMy Lord and Master speaks forever.\nGod gives His gifts to all living beings. ||1||Pause||\nThe Divine Lord is within the self, but the spiritually blind one does not know this.\nDeluded by doubt, he is caught in the noose.\nThe stone does not speak; it does not give anything to anyone.\nSuch religious rituals are useless; such service is fruitless. ||2||\nIf a corpse is anointed with sandalwood oil,\nwhat good does it do?\nIf a corpse is rolled in manure,\nwhat does it lose from this? ||3||\nSays Kabeer, I proclaim this out loud\n- behold, and understand, you ignorant, faithless cynic.\nThe love of duality has ruined countless homes.\nThe Lord's devotees are forever in bliss. ||4||4||12||\nThe fish in the water is attached to Maya.\nThe moth fluttering around the lamp is pierced through by Maya.\nThe sexual desire of Maya afflicts the elephant.\nThe snakes and bumble bees are destroyed through Maya. ||1||\nSuch are the enticements of Maya, O Siblings of Destiny.\nAs many living beings are there are, have been deceived. ||1||Pause||\nThe birds and the deer are imbued with Maya.\nSugar is a deadly trap for the flies.\nHorses and camels are absorbed in Maya.\nThe eighty-four Siddhas, the beings of miraculous spiritual powers, play in Maya. ||2||\nThe six celibates are slaves of Maya.\nSo are the nine masters of Yoga, and the sun and the moon.\nThe austere disciplinarians and the Rishis are asleep in Maya.\nDeath and the five demons are in Maya. ||3||\nDogs and jackals are imbued with Maya.\nMonkeys, leopards and lions,\ncats, sheep, foxes,\ntrees and roots are planted in Maya. ||4||\nEven the gods are drenched with Maya,\nas are the oceans, the sky and the earth.\nSays Kabeer, whoever has a belly to fill, is under the spell of Maya.\nThe mortal is emancipated only when he meets the Holy Saint. ||5||5||13||\nAs long as he cries out, \"Mine! Mine!\",\nnone of his tasks is accomplished.\nWhen such possessiveness is erased and removed,\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 037\nthen God comes and resolves his affairs. ||1||\nContemplate such spiritual wisdom, O mortal man.\nWhy not meditate in remembrance on the Lord, the Destroyer of pain? ||1||Pause||\nAs long as the tiger lives in the forest,\nthe forest does not flower.\nBut when the jackal eats the tiger,\nthen the entire forest flowers. ||2||\nThe victorious are drowned, while the defeated swim across.\nBy Guru's Grace, one crosses over and is saved.\nSlave Kabeer speaks and teaches:\nremain lovingly absorbed, attuned to the Lord alone. ||3||6||14||\nHe has 7,000 commanders,\nand hundreds of thousands of prophets;\nHe is said to have 88,000,000 shaykhs,\nand 56,000,000 attendants. ||1||\nI am meek and poor - what chance do I have of being heard there?\nHis Court is so far away; only a rare few attain the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||Pause||\nHe has 33,000,000 play-houses.\nHis beings wander insanely through 8.4 million incarnations.\nHe bestowed His Grace on Adam, the father of mankind,\nwho then lived in paradise for a long time. ||2||\nPale are the faces of those whose hearts are disturbed.\nThey have forsaken their Bible, and practice Satanic evil.\nOne who blames the world, and is angry with people,\nshall receive the fruits of his own actions. ||3||\nYou are the Great Giver, O Lord; I am forever a beggar at Your Door.\nIf I were to deny You, then I would be a wretched sinner.\nSlave Kabeer has entered Your Shelter.\nKeep me near You, O Merciful Lord God - that is heaven for me. ||4||7||15||\nEveryone speaks of going there,\nbut I do not even know where heaven is. ||1||Pause||\nOne who does not even know the mystery of his own self,\nspeaks of heaven, but it is only talk. ||1||\nAs long as the mortal hopes for heaven,\nhe will not dwell at the Lord's Feet. ||2||\nHeaven is not a fort with moats and ramparts, and walls plastered with mud;\nI do not know what heaven's gate is like. ||3||\nSays Kabeer, now what more can I say?\nThe Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is heaven itself. ||4||8||16||\nHow can the beautiful fortress be conquered, O Siblings of Destiny?\nIt has double walls and triple moats. ||1||Pause||\nIt is defended by the five elements, the twenty-five categories, attachment, pride, jealousy and the awesomely powerful Maya.\nThe poor mortal being does not have the strength to conquer it; what should I do now, O Lord? ||1||\nSexual desire is the window, pain and pleasure are the gate-keepers, virtue and sin are the gates.\nAnger is the great supreme commander, full of argument and strife, and the mind is the rebel king there. ||2||\nTheir armor is the pleasure of tastes and flavors, their helmets are worldly attachments; they take aim with their bows of corrupt intellect.\nThe greed that fills their hearts is the arrow; with these things, their fortress is impregnable. ||3||\nBut I have made divine love the fuse, and deep meditation the bomb; I have launched the rocket of spiritual wisdom.\nThe fire of God is lit by intuition, and with one shot, the fortress is taken. ||4||\nTaking truth and contentment with me, I begin the battle and storm both the gates.\nIn the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and by Guru's Grace, I have captured the king of the fortress. ||5||\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 038\nWith the army of God's devotees, and Shakti, the power of meditation, I have snapped the noose of the fear of death.\nSlave Kabeer has climbed to the top of the fortress; I have obtained the eternal, imperishable domain. ||6||9||17||\nThe mother Ganges is deep and profound.\nTied up in chains, they took Kabeer there. ||1||\nMy mind was not shaken; why should my body be afraid?\nMy consciousness remained immersed in the Lotus Feet of the Lord. ||1||Pause||\nThe waves of the Ganges broke the chains,\nand Kabeer was seated on a deer skin. ||2||\nSays Kabeer, I have no friend or companion.\nOn the water, and on the land, the Lord is my Protector. ||3||10||18||\nBhairao, Kabeer Jee, Ashtapadees, Second House:\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nGod constructed a fortress, inaccessible and unreachable, in which He dwells.\nThere, His Divine Light radiates forth.\nLightning blazes, and bliss prevails there,\nwhere the Eternally Young Lord God abides. ||1||\nThis soul is lovingly attuned to the Lord's Name.\nIt is saved from old age and death, and its doubt runs away. ||1||Pause||\nThose who believe in high and low social classes,\nonly sing songs and chants of egotism.\nThe Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad, the Word of God, resounds in that place,\nwhere the Supreme Lord God abides. ||2||\nHe creates planets, solar systems and galaxies;\nHe destroys the three worlds, the three gods and the three qualities.\nThe Inaccessible and Unfathomable Lord God dwells in the heart.\nNo one can find the limits or the secrets of the Lord of the World. ||3||\nThe Lord shines forth in the plantain flower and the sunshine.\nHe dwells in the pollen of the lotus flower.\nThe Lord's secret is within the twelve petals of the heart-lotus.\nThe Supreme Lord, the Lord of Lakshmi dwells there. ||4||\nHe is like the sky, stretching across the lower, upper and middle realms.\nIn the profoundly silent celestial realm, He radiates forth.\nNeither the sun nor the moon are there,\nbut the Primal Immaculate Lord celebrates there. ||5||\nKnow that He is in the universe, and in the body as well.\nTake your cleansing bath in the Mansarovar Lake.\nChant \"Sohang\" - \"He is me.\"\nHe is not affected by either virtue or vice. ||6||\nHe is not affected by either high or low social class, sunshine or shade.\nHe is in the Guru's Sanctuary, and nowhere else.\nHe is not diverted by diversions, comings or goings.\nRemain intuitively absorbed in the celestial void. ||7||\nOne who knows the Lord in the mind\n- whatever he says, comes to pass.\nOne who firmly implants the Lord's Divine Light, and His Mantra within the mind\n- says Kabeer, such a mortal crosses over to the other side. ||8||1||\nMillions of suns shine for Him,\nmillions of Shivas and Kailash mountains.\nMillions of Durga goddesses massage His Feet.\nMillions of Brahmas chant the Vedas for Him. ||1||\nWhen I beg, I beg only from the Lord.\nI have nothing to do with any other deities. ||1||Pause||\nMillions of moons twinkle in the sky.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 039\nThree hundred thirty million gods eat the Lord's offerings.\nThe nine stars, a million times over, stand at His Door.\nMillions of Righteous Judges of Dharma are His gate-keepers. ||2||\nMillions of winds blow around Him in the four directions.\nMillions of serpents prepare His bed.\nMillions of oceans are His water-carriers.\nThe eighteen million loads of vegetation are His Hair. ||3||\nMillions of treasurers fill His Treasury.\nMillions of Lakshmis adorn themselves for Him.\nMany millions of vices and virtues look up to Him.\nMillions of Indras serve Him. ||4||\nFifty-six million clouds are His.\nIn each and every village, His infinite fame has spread.\nWild demons with dishevelled hair move about.\nThe Lord plays in countless ways. ||5||\nMillions of charitable feasts are held in His Court,\nand millions of celestial singers celebrate His victory.\nMillions of sciences all sing His Praises.\nEven so, the limits of the Supreme Lord God cannot be found. ||6||\nRama, with millions of monkeys, conquered Raawan's army.\nBillions of Puraanas greatly praise Him;\nHe humbled the pride of Duyodhan. ||7||\nMillions of gods of love cannot compete with Him.\nHe steals the hearts of mortal beings.\nSays Kabeer, please hear me, O Lord of the World.\nI beg for the blessing of fearless dignity. ||8||2||18||20||\nBhairao, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nO my tongue, I will cut you into a hundred pieces,\nif you do not chant the Name of the Lord. ||1||\nO my tongue, be imbued with the Lord's Name.\nMeditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and imbue yourself with this most excellent color. ||1||Pause||\nO my tongue, other occupations are false.\nThe state of Nirvaanaa comes only through the Lord's Name. ||2||\nThe performance of countless millions of other devotions\nis not equal to even one devotion to the Name of the Lord. ||3||\nPrays Naam Dayv, this is my occupation.\nO Lord, Your Forms are endless. ||4||1||\nOne who stays away from others' wealth and others' spouses\n- the Lord abides near that person. ||1||\nThose who do not meditate and vibrate on the Lord\n- I do not even want to see them. ||1||Pause||\nThose whose inner beings are not in harmony with the Lord,\nare nothing more than beasts. ||2||\nPrays Naam Dayv, a man without a nose\ndoes not look handsome, even if he has the thirty-two beauty marks. ||3||2||\nNaam Dayv milked the brown cow, and brought a cup of milk and a jug of water to his family god. ||1||\n\"Please drink this milk, O my Sovereign Lord God.\nDrink this milk and my mind will be happy.\nOtherwise, my father will be angry with me.\"||1||Pause||\nTaking the golden cup, Naam Dayv filled it with the ambrosial milk,\nand placed it before the Lord. ||2||\nThe Lord looked upon Naam Dayv and smiled. \"This one devotee abides within my heart.\"||3||\nThe Lord drank the milk, and the devotee returned home.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 040\nThus did Naam Dayv come to receive the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||3||\nI am crazy - the Lord is my Husband.\nI decorate and adorn myself for Him. ||1||\nSlander me well, slander me well, slander me well, O people.\nMy body and mind are united with my Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||\nDo not engage in any arguments or debates with anyone.\nWith your tongue, savor the Lord's sublime essence. ||2||\nNow, I know within my soul, that such an arrangement has been made;\nI will meet with my Lord by the beat of the drum. ||3||\nAnyone can praise or slander me.\nNaam Dayv has met the Lord. ||4||4||\nSometimes, people do not appreciate milk, sugar and ghee.\nSometimes, they have to beg for bread from door to door.\nSometimes, they have to pick out the grain from the chaff. ||1||\nAs the Lord keeps us, so do we live, O Siblings of Destiny.\nThe Lord's Glory cannot even be described. ||1||Pause||\nSometimes, people prance around on horses.\nSometimes, they do not even have shoes for their feet. ||2||\nSometimes, people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.\nSometimes, they do not even have straw to put down on the ground. ||3||\nNaam Dayv prays, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, can save us.\nOne who meets the Guru, is carried across to the other side. ||4||5||\nLaughing and playing, I came to Your Temple, O Lord.\nWhile Naam Dayv was worshipping, he was grabbed and driven out. ||1||\nI am of a low social class, O Lord;\nwhy was I born into a family of fabric dyers? ||1||Pause||\nI picked up my blanket and went back,\nto sit behind the temple. ||2||\nAs Naam Dayv uttered the Glorious Praises of the Lord,\nthe temple turned around to face the Lord's humble devotee. ||3||6||\nBhairao, Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:\nOne Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:\nAs the hungry person loves food,\nand the thirsty person is obsessed with water,\nand as the fool is attached to his family\n- just so, the Lord is very dear to Naam Dayv. ||1||\nNaam Dayv is in love with the Lord.\nHe has naturally and intuitively become detached from the world. ||1||Pause||\nLike the woman who falls in love with another man,\nand the greedy man who loves only wealth,\nand the sexually promiscuous man who loves women and sex,\njust so, Naam Dayv is in love with the Lord. ||2||\nBut that alone is real love, which the Lord Himself inspires;\nby Guru's Grace, duality is eradicated.\nSuch love never breaks; through it, the mortal remains merged in the Lord.\nNaam Dayv has focused his consciousness on the True Name. ||3||\nLike the love between the child and its mother,\nso is my mind imbued with the Lord.\nPrays Naam Dayv, I am in love with the Lord.\nThe Lord of the Universe abides within my consciousness. ||4||1||7||\nThe blind fool abandons the wife of his own home,\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 041\nand has an affair with another woman.\nHe is like the parrot, who is pleased to see the simbal tree;\nbut in the end, he dies, stuck to it. ||1||\nThe home of the sinner is on fire.\nIt keeps burning, and the fire cannot be extinguished. ||1||Pause||\nHe does not go to see where the Lord is being worshipped.\nHe abandons the Lord's Path, and takes the wrong path.\nHe forgets the Primal Lord God, and is caught in the cycle of reincarnation.\nHe throws away the Ambrosial Nectar, and gathers poison to eat. ||2||\nHe is like the prostitute, who comes to dance,\nwearing beautiful clothes, decorated and adorned.\nShe dances to the beat, exciting the breath of those who watch her.\nBut the noose of the Messenger of Death is around her neck. ||3||\nOne who has good karma recorded on his forehead,\nhurries to enter the Guru's Sanctuary.\nSays Naam Dayv, consider this:\nO Saints, this is the way to cross over to the other side. ||4||2||8||\nSanda and Marka went and complained to Harnaakhash,\n\"Your son does not read his lessons. We are tired of trying to teach him.\nHe chants the Lord's Name, clapping his hands to keep the beat; he has spoiled all the other students. ||1||\nHe chants the Lord's Name,\nand he has enshrined meditative remembrance of the Lord within his heart.\"||1||Pause||\n\"Your father the king has conquered the whole world\", said his mother the queen.\n\"O Prahlad my son, you do not obey him, so he has decided to deal with you in another way.\"||2||\nThe council of villians met and resolved to send Prahlaad into the life hereafter.\nPrahlaad was thrown off a mountain, into the water, and into a fire, but the Sovereign Lord God saved him, by changing the laws of nature. ||3||\nHarnaakhash thundered with rage and threatened to kill Prahlaad. \"Tell me, who can save you?\"\nPrahlaad answered, \"The Lord, the Master of the three worlds, is contained even in this pillar to which I am tied.\"||4||\nThe Lord who tore Harnaakhash apart with His nails proclaimed Himself the Lord of gods and men.\nSays Naam Dayv, I meditate on the Lord, the Man-lion, the Giver of fearless dignity. ||5||3||9||\nThe Sultan said, \"Listen, Naam Dayv:\nlet me see the actions of your Lord.\"||1||\nThe Sultan arrested Naam Dayv,\nand said, \"Let me see your Beloved Lord.\"||1||Pause||\n\"Bring this dead cow back to life.\nOtherwise, I shall cut off your head here and now.\"||2||\nNaam Dayv answered, \"O king, how can this happen?\nNo one can bring the dead back to life. ||3||\nI cannot do anything by my own actions.\nWhatever the Lord does, that alone happens.\"||4||\nThe arrogant king was enraged at this reply.\nHe incited an elephant to attack. ||5||\nNaam Dayv's mother began to cry,\nand she said, \"Why don't you abandon your Lord Raam, and worship his Lord Allah?\"||6||\nNaam Dayv answered, \"I am not your son, and you are not my mother.\nEven if my body dies, I will still sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.\"||7||\nThe elephant attacked him with his trunk,\nbut Naam Dayv was saved, protected by the Lord. ||8||\nThe king said, \"The Qazis and the Mullahs bow down to me,\nbut this Hindu has trampled my honor.\"||9||\nThe people pleaded with the king, \"Hear our prayer, O king.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 042\nHere, take Naam Dayv's weight in gold, and release him.\"||10||\nThe king replied, \"If I take the gold, then I will be consigned to hell,\nby forsaking my faith and gathering worldly wealth.\"||11||\nWith his feet in chains, Naam Dayv kept the beat with his hands,\nsinging the Praises of the Lord. ||12||\n\"Even if the Ganges and the Jamunaa rivers flow backwards,\nI will still continue singing the Praises of the Lord.\"||13||\nThree hours passed,\nand even then, the Lord of the three worlds had not come. ||14||\nPlaying on the instrument of the feathered wings,\nthe Lord of the Universe came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||15||\nHe cherished His devotee,\nand the Lord came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||16||\nThe Lord said to him, \"If you wish, I shall turn the earth sideways.\nIf you wish, I shall turn it upside down. ||17||\nIf you wish, I shall bring the dead cow back to life.\nEveryone will see and be convinced.\"||18||\nNaam Dayv prayed, and milked the cow.\nHe brought the calf to the cow, and milked her. ||19||\nWhen the pitcher was filled with milk,\nNaam Dayv took it and placed it before the king. ||20||\nThe king went into his palace,\nand his heart was troubled. ||21||\nThrough the Qazis and the Mullahs, the king offered his prayer,\n\"Forgive me, please, O Hindu; I am just a cow before you.\"||22||\nNaam Dayv said, \"Listen, O king:\nhave I done this miracle? ||23||\nThe purpose of this miracle is\nthat you, O king, should walk on the path of truth and humility.\"||24||\nNaam Dayv became famous everywhere for this.\nThe Hindus all went together to Naam Dayv. ||25||\nIf the cow had not been revived,\npeople would have lost faith in Naam Dayv. ||26||\nThe fame of Naam Dayv spread throughout the world.\nThe humble devotees were saved and carried across with him. ||27||\nAll sorts of troubles and pains afflicted the slanderer.\nThere is no difference between Naam Dayv and the Lord. ||28||1||10||\nSECOND HOUSE:\nBy the Grace of the Divine Guru, one meets the Lord.\nBy the Grace of the Divine Guru, one is carried across to the other side.\nBy the Grace of the Divine Guru, one swims across to heaven.\nBy the Grace of the Divine Guru, one remains dead while yet alive. ||1||\nTrue, True, True True, True is the Divine Guru.\nFalse, false, false, false is all other service. ||1||Pause||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is implanted within.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one does not wander in the ten directions.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, the five demons are kept far away.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one does not die regretting. ||2||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one is blessed with the Ambrosial Bani of the Word.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one speaks the Unspoken Speech.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one's body becomes like ambrosial nectar.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one utters and chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one sees the three worlds.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one understands the state of supreme dignity.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one's head is in the Akaashic ethers.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one is always congratulated everywhere. ||4||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one remains detached forever.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one forsakes the slander of others.\nSection 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 043\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one looks upon good and bad as the same.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one has good destiny written on his forehead. ||5||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, the wall of the body is not eroded.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, the temple turns itself towards the mortal.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one's home is constructed.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one's bed is lifted up out of the water. ||6||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one has bathed at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one's body is stamped with the sacred mark of Vishnu.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one has performed the twelve devotional services.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, all poison is transformed into fruit. ||7||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, skepticism is shattered.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one escapes from the Messenger of Death.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one is not subject to the cycle of reincarnation. ||8||\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one understands the rituals of the eighteen Puraanas.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, it is as if one has made an offering of the eighten loads of vegetation.\nWhen the Divine Guru grants His Grace, one needs no other place of rest.\nNaam Dayv has entered the Sanctuary of the Guru. ||9||1||2||11||\nBhairao, The Word Of Ravi Daas Jee, Second House:\nOne Universal Creator God.
