> One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
> Listen, O mind, to the Unspoken Speech of the Lord's Name.
> Riches, wisdom, supernatural spiritual powers and peace are obtained, by vibrating, meditating on the Lord God, under Guru's Instruction. ||1||Pause||
> Numerous legends, the Puraanas, and the six Shaastras, sing the sublime Praises of the Lord.
> Shiva and the three hundred thirty million gods meditate on the Lord, but they do not know the secret of His mystery. ||1||
> The angelic and divine beings, and the celestial singers sing His Praises; all Creation sings of Him.
> O Nanak, those whom the Lord blesses with His Kind Mercy, become the good Saints of the Lord God. ||2||1||
> Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
> O mind, those who meet the Lord's humble servants, sing His Praises.
> They are blessed with the gift of the jewel of the Lord, Har, Har, the sublime jewel of the Lord, by the Guru, the True Guru. ||1||Pause||
> I offer my mind, body and everything to that humble being who recites the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
> I offer my wealth, the riches of Maya and my property to that one who leads me to meet the Lord, my friend. ||1||
> When the Lord of the world bestowed just a tiny bit of His Mercy, for just an instant, then I meditated on the Praise of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.
> The Lord and Master has met servant Nanak, and the pain of the sickness of egotism has been eliminated. ||2||2||
> Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
> The Lord's humble servant sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name.
> Even if someone slanders the Lord's humble servant, he does not give up his own goodness. ||1||Pause||
> Whatever the Lord and Master does, He does by Himself; the Lord Himself does the deeds.
> The Lord and Master Himself imparts understanding; the Lord Himself inspires us to speak. ||1||
> Section 17 - Raag Bairaaree - Part 002
> The Lord Himself directs the evolution of the world of the five elements; He Himself infuses the five senses into it.
> O servant Nanak, the Lord Himself unites us with the True Guru; He Himself resolves the conflicts. ||2||3||
> Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
> Chant the Name of the Lord, O mind, and you shall be emancipated.
> The Lord shall destroy all the sins of millions upon millions of incarnations, and carry you across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||
> In the body-village, the Lord Master abides; the Lord is without fear, without vengeance, and without form.
> The Lord is dwelling near at hand, but He cannot be seen. By the Guru's Teachings, the Lord is obtained. ||1||
> The Lord Himself is the banker, the jeweller, the jewel, the gem; the Lord Himself created the entire expanse of the creation.
> O Nanak, one who is blessed by the Lord's Kind Mercy, trades in the Lord's Name; He alone is the true banker, the true trader. ||2||4||
> Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
> Meditate, O mind, on the immaculate, formless Lord.
> Forever and ever, meditate on the Lord, the Giver of peace; He has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||
> In the fiery pit of the womb, when you were hanging upside-down, the Lord absorbed You in His Love, and preserved You.
> So serve such a Lord, O my mind; the Lord shall deliver you in the end. ||1||
> Bow down in reverence to that humble being, within whose heart the Lord, Har, Har, abides.
> By the Lord's Kind Mercy, O Nanak, one obtains the Lord's meditation, and the support of the Naam. ||2||5||
> Bairaaree, Fourth Mehl:
> O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; meditate on it continually.
> You shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires, and pain shall never touch you again. ||1||Pause||
> That is chanting, that is deep meditation and austerity, that is fasting and worship, which inspires love for the Lord.
> Without the Lord's Love, every other love is false; in an instant, it is all forgotten. ||1||
> You are infinite, the Master of all power; Your value cannot be described at all.
> Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O Dear Lord; as it pleases You, save him. ||2||6||
> Raag Bairaaree, Fifth Mehl, First House:

> The pains of millions of incarnations shall be eradicated. ||1||Pause||
> Whatever your mind desires, that you shall obtain.
> By His Kind Mercy, the Lord blesses us with His Name. ||1||
> All happiness and greatness are in the Lord's Name.
> By Guru's Grace, Nanak has gained this understanding. ||2||1||7||
