Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:\nRaag Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:\nMeditate in remembrance on the Lord - meditate on the Lord; this alone shall be of use to you.\nAbandon your association with Maya, and take shelter in the Sanctuary of God.\nRemember that the pleasures of the world are false; this whole show is just an illusion. ||1||Pause||\nYou must understand that this wealth is just a dream. Why are you so proud?\nThe empires of the earth are like walls of sand. ||1||\nServant Nanak speaks the Truth: your body shall perish and pass away.\nMoment by moment, yesterday passed. Today is passing as well. ||2||1||\nJaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:\nMeditate on the Lord - vibrate on the Lord; your life is slipping away.\nWhy am I telling you this again and again? You fool - why don't you understand?\nYour body is like a hail-stone; it melts away in no time at all. ||1||Pause||\nSo give up all your doubts, and utter the Naam, the Name of the Lord.\nAt the very last moment, this alone shall go along with you. ||1||\nForget the poisonous sins of corruption, and enshrine the Praises of God in your heart.\nServant Nanak proclaims that this opportunity is slipping away. ||2||2||\nJaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:\nO mortal, what will your condition be?\nIn this world, you have not listened to the Lord's Name.\nYou are totally engrossed in corruption and sin; you have not turned your mind away from them at all. ||1||Pause||\nYou obtained this human life, but you have not remembered the Lord in meditation, even for an instant.\nFor the sake of pleasure, you have become subservient to your woman, and now your feet are bound. ||1||\nServant Nanak proclaims that the vast expanse of this world is just a dream.\nWhy not meditate on the Lord? Even Maya is His slave. ||2||3||\nJaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:\nSlipping away - your life is uselessly slipping away.\nNight and day, you listen to the Puraanas, but you do not understand them, you ignorant fool!\nDeath has arrived; now where will you run? ||1||Pause||","title":"Raag Jaijaavantee","type":"page"}
