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 greed are eliminated,


and all egotistical pride is abandoned. 2
The Profit of the Naam is obtained,


and all affairs are brought to fruition.
In His Mercy, God unites us with Himself,


and He blesses us with the Naam.
My comings and goings in reincarnation have come to an end;


He Himself has bestowed His Mercy.
I have obtained my home in the True Mansion of His Presence,


realizing the Word of the Guru's Shabad. 3
His humble devotees are protected and saved;


He Himself showers His Blessings upon us.
In this world and in the world hereafter,


radiant are the faces of those who cherish


and enshrine the Glories of the True Lord.
Twenty-four hours a day, they lovingly dwell


upon His Glories; they are imbued with His Infinite Love.
Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the


Supreme Lord God, the Ocean of Peace. 41181
