The wealth of the Lord's Name

Guru Amar Das ji The wealth of the Lord's Name is immaculate, and absolutely infinite. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is over-flowing with treasure. Know that, except for the wealth of the Name, all other wealth is poison. The egotistical people are burning in their attachment to Maya. 1 How rare is that Gurmukh who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord. He is always in bliss, day and night; through perfect good destiny, he obtains the Name.

My Lord

You are the Giver, O Lord, O Cherisher, my Master, my Husband Lord. Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. 1 I have only one tongue – which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe? Unlimited, infinite Lord and Master – no one knows Your limits. 1Pause You destroy millions of my sins, and teach me in so many ways. I am so ignorant - I understand nothing at all. Please honor Your innate nature, and save me! 2 I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend. Save me, O Merciful Saviour Lord; Nanak is the slave of Your home. 312 thum dhaathae t(h)aakur prathipaalak naaeik khasam hamaarae nimakh nimakh thum hee prathipaalahu ham baarik thumarae dhhaarae 1 jihavaa eaek kavan gun keheeai baesumaar baea(n)th suaamee thaero a(n)th n kin hee leheeai 1 rehaao kott paraadhh hamaarae kha(n)ddahu anik bidhhee samajhaavahu ham agiaan alap math thhoree thum aapan biradh rakhaavahu 2 thumaree saran thumaaree aasaa thum hee sajan suhaelae raakhahu raakhanehaar dhaeiaalaa naanak ghar kae golae 312 qum dwqy Twkur pRiqpwlk nwiek Ksm hmwry ] inmK inmK qum hI pRiqpwlhu hm bwirk qumry Dwry ]1] ijhvw eyk kvn gun khIAY ] bysumwr byAMq suAwmI qyro AMqu n ikn hI lhIAY ]1] rhwau ] koit prwD hmwry KMfhu Aink ibDI smJwvhu ] hm AigAwn Alp miq QorI qum Awpn ibrdu rKwvhu ]2] qumrI srix qumwrI Awsw qum hI sjn suhyly ] rwKhu rwKnhwr dieAwlw nwnk Gr ky goly ]3]12] This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Dhanaasree on Pannaa 673

Worldly Pleasures: Beware of them.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji

Without the Lord, nothing is of any use.
You are totally attached to that Enticer Maya;

she is enticing you. 1Pause

You shall have to leave behind your gold,

your woman and your beautiful bed;

you shall have to depart in an instant.
You are entangled in the lures of sexual pleasures,

and you are eating poisonous drugs. 1

You have built and adorned a palace of straw,

and under it, you light a fire.
Sitting all puffed-up in such a castle,

you stubborn-minded fool,

what do you think you will gain? 2

The five thieves stand over your head and seize you.

Grabbing you by your hair, they will drive you on.
You do not see them,

you blind and ignorant fool;

intoxicated with ego,

you just keep sleeping. 3

The net has been spread out,

and the bait has been scattered;

like a bird, you are being trapped.
Says Nanak, my bonds have been broken;

I meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. 4288

Me:Slave of Maya

O my Lord and Master, I know nothing.
My mind has sold out, and is in Maya's hands. 1Pause
You are called the Lord and Master, the Guru of the World.
I am called a lustful being of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. 1
The five vices have corrupted my mind.
Moment by moment, they lead me further away from the Lord. 2

Gurmukh: his duties

Come and join together, O my Siblings of Destiny; dispel your sense of duality and let yourselves be lovingly absorbed in the Lord.
Let yourselves be joined to the Name of the Lord; become Gurmukh, spread out your mat, and sit down. 1
In this way, throw the dice, O brothers.
As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. At the very last moment, you shall not have to suffer in pain. 1Pause
Let righteous actions be your gameboard, and let the truth be your dice.
Conquer sexual desire, anger, greed and worldly attachment; only such a game as this is dear to the Lord. 2
Rise in the early hours of the morning, and take your cleansing bath. Before you go to bed at night, remember to worship the Lord.
My True Guru will assist you, even on your most difficult moves; you shall reach your true home in celestial peace and poise. 3
The Lord Himself plays, and He Himself watches; the Lord Himself created the creation.
O servant Nanak, that person who plays this game as Gurmukh, wins the game of life, and returns to his true home. 4119

Material wealth

Salok, Third Mehla:
The love of Maya is enticing; without teeth,

it has eaten up the world.
The self-willed manmukhs are eaten away,

while the Gurmukhs are saved;

they focus their consciousness on the True Name.
Without the Name,

the world wanders around insane;

the Gurmukhs come to see this.
Involved in worldly affairs, he wastes his life in vain;

the peace-giving Lord does not come to abide in his mind.
O Nanak, they alone obtain the Name,

who have such pre-ordained destiny. 1

True Wealth

The ignorant fools amass false wealth.
The blind, foolish, self-willed manmukhs have gone astray.
Poisonous wealth brings constant pain.
It will not go with you, and it will not yield any profit. 1
True wealth is obtained through the Guru's Teachings.
False wealth continues coming and going. Pause

My lord is my everything

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
O Love, who else but You could do such a thing?
O Patron of the poor, Lord of the World, You have put the canopy of Your Grace over my head. 1Pause
Only You can grant Mercy to that person whose touch pollutes the world.
You exalt and elevate the lowly, O my Lord of the Universe; You are not afraid of anyone. 1
Naam Dayv, Kabeer, Trilochan, Sadhana and Sain crossed over.
Says Ravi Daas, listen, O Saints, through the Dear Lord, all is accomplished. 21
