SHIRI GURU NANAK DEV JI

People beg and pray, Give to us, give to us,' and the great giver gives His gifts.

So what offering can we place before Him, by which we might seethe darbar of His count? What words can we speak to evoke His love? In the Amrit vaylaa, the ambrosial hours before dawn, chant the true name and contemplate His glorious greatness. By the karma of past actions, the robe of this physical body is obtained. By His grace, the gate of liberation is found. Nanak, know this well: the true one Himself is all. He cannot be established, He cannot be created. Nanak, sing of the Lord, the treasure of excellence. Sing, and listen, and let your mind be filled with love. Your pain shall be sent far away, and peace shall come to your home. The Guru is Shiva, the Guru is Vishnu and Brahma; the Guru is Parvati and Lakshmi. Even knowing God, I cannot describe Him; He cannot be described in words. The Guru has given me this one understanding: there is only the one, the giver of all souls. May I never forget Him!

SHIRI GURU NANAK DEV JI

If I am pleasing to Him, then that is my pilgrimage and cleans
bath. Without pleasing Him, what good are ritual cleansing?

I gaze upon all the created beings: without the karma of good
actions, what are they given to receive?
Within the mind are gems, jewels and rubies, if you listen to the
Guru's teachings even once.
Even if you could live throughout the four ages, or even ten
times more, and even if you were known throughout the nine
continents and followed by all, with a good name and reputation,
with praise and fame throughout the world still, if the Lord does
not bless you with His glance of grace, then who cares? What is
the use? Among worms, you would be considered a lowly worm
and even contemptible sinners would hold you in contempt.
No one can even imagine anyone who can bestow virtue upon
Him. Such is the name of the Immaculate Lord.
The faithful have intuitive awareness and intelligence. The faithful
know about all worlds and realms. The faithful shall never be
struck across the face. The faithful do not have to go with the
messenger of death. The path of the faithful shall never be blocked.
The faithful shall depart with honor and fame. The faithful do
not follow empty religious rituals. The faithful are firmly bound to
the dharma. The faithful find the door of liberation. The faithful
uplift and redeem their family and relations.

The chosen ones, the self-elect, are accepted and approved
The chosen ones are honored in the court of the Lord. The
chosen ones look beautifùul in the courts of kings. The chosen
ones meditate single-mindedly on the Guru.

No matter how much anyone tries to explain and describe them,
the actions of the Creator cannot be counted.

You (God) created the vast expanse of the universe with one word!
Whatever pleases You (God) is the only good done.
From the word comes the Naam; from the word comes Your
praise. From the word comes spiritual wisdom, singing the songs
of Your glory. From the word, come the written and spoken words
and hymns. From the word comes destiny written on one's
forehead. But the one who wrote these words of destiny-no
words are written on His forehead.
As He ordains, so do we receive.
The created universe is the manifestation of Your name. Without
Your name, there is no place at all.
When the hands and the feet and the body are dirty, water can
wash away the dirt. When the clothes are soiled and stained by
urine, soap can wash them clean. But when the intellect is stained
and polluted by sin, it can only be cleansed by the love of the name.
