You are my hope, forever and ever.

You know completely the condition of my mind; who else could I go to tell of it? Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the whole world has gone crazy; obtaining the Naam, it finds peace. 2 What shall I say? Unto whom shall I speak? What I have to say, I say to God. Everything which exists was created by You. You are my hope, forever and ever. 3 jaanehi birathhaa sabhaa man kee hor kis pehi aakh sunaaeeai vin naavai sabh jag bouraaeiaa naam milai sukh paaeeai 2 kiaa keheeai kis aakh sunaaeeai j kehanaa s prabh jee paas sabh kishh keethaa thaeraa varathai sadhaa sadhaa thaeree aas 3 jwxih ibrQw sBw mn kI horu iksu pih AwiK suxweIAY ] ivxu nwvY sBu jgu baurwieAw nwmu imlY suKu pweIAY ]2] ikAw khIAY iksu AwiK suxweIAY ij khxw su pRB jI pwis ] sBu ikCu kIqw qyrw vrqY sdw sdw qyrI Aws ]3] This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 382 Source: Click Here

Who is our friend in this world?

Jaitsree, Fifth Mehla, Third House: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Does anyone know, who is our friend in this world? He alone understands this, whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy. Immaculate and unstained is his way of life. 1Pause Mother, father, spouse, children, relatives, lovers, friends and siblings meet, having been associated in previous lives; but none of them will be your companion and support in the end. 1 Pearl necklaces, gold, rubies and diamonds please the mind, but they are only Maya. Possessing them, one passes his life in agony; he obtains no contentment from them. 2 Elephants, chariots, horses as fast as the wind, wealth, land, and armies of four kinds - none of these will go with him; he must get up and depart, naked. 3 The Lord's Saints are the beloved lovers of God; sing of the Lord, Har, Har, with them. O Nanak, in the Society of the Saints, you shall obtain peace in this world, and in the next world, your face shall be radiant and...

Chanting the Naam

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Siree Raag on Pannaa 46 Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla: Meeting the True Guru, all my sufferings have ended, and the Peace of the Lord has come to dwell within my mind. The Divine Light illuminates my inner being, and I am lovingly absorbed in the One. Meeting with the Holy Saint, my face is radiant; I have realized my pre-ordained destiny. I constantly sing the Glories of the Lord of the Universe. Through the True Name, I have become spotlessly pure. 1 O my mind, you shall find peace through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. Working for the Perfect Guru, no one goes away empty-handed. 1Pause The desires of the mind are fulfilled, when the Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained. The Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, is always with you; recognize Him as the Creator. By Guru's Grace, your face shall be radiant. Chanting the Naam, you shall receive the benefits of giving charity and taking cleansing baths. Sexual desire, anger and ...

What is there for me to fear? Your Name is my only strength.

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 382 Aasaa, Fifth Mehla: Since You are my Lord and Master, what is there for me to fear? Other than You, who else should I praise? You are the One and only, and so do all things exist; without You, there is nothing at all for me. 1 O Father, I have seen that the world is poison. Save me, O Lord of the Universe! Your Name is my only Support. 1Pause You know completely the condition of my mind; who else could I go to tell of it? Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the whole world has gone crazy; obtaining the Naam, it finds peace. 2 What shall I say? Unto whom shall I speak? What I have to say, I say to God. Everything which exists was created by You. You are my hope, forever and ever. 3 If you bestow greatness, then it is Your greatness; here and hereafter, I meditate on You. The Lord God of Nanak is forever the Giver of peace; Your Name is my only strength. 4i7i46. Awsw mhlw 5 ] jw qUM swihbu qw Bau kyhw hau quDu ibnu iksu...

Truth will prevail in the end.

First Mehla: Says Nanak, listen, O mind, to the True Teachings. Opening His ledger, God will call you to account. Those rebels who have unpaid accounts shall be called out. Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, shall be appointed to punish them. They will find no way to escape coming and going in reincarnation; they are trapped in the narrow path. Falsehood will come to an end, O Nanak, and Truth will prevail in the end. 2 This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Raamkalee on Pannaa 953
