RAAG AASAA, SECOND HOUSE, THIRD MEHL:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:
The Blessed Vision of the Lord’s Darshan is obtained by great good fortune. Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, true detachment is obtained.
The six systems of philosophy are pervasive, but the Guru’s system is profound and unequalled. || 1 ||
The Guru’s system is the way to liberation. The True Lord Himself comes to dwell in the mind. || 1 ||
Pause ||
Through the Guru’s system, the world is saved, if it is embraced with love and affection. How rare is that person who truly loves the Guru’s Way. Through the Guru’s system, everlasting peace is obtained. || 2 ||
Through the Guru’s system, the Door of Salvation is obtained. Serving the True Guru, one’s family is saved. There is no salvation for those who have no Guru. Beguiled by worthless sins, they are struck down. || 3 ||
Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, the body finds peace and tranquility. The Gurmukh is not afflicted by pain. The Messenger of Death does not come near him. O Nanak, the Gurmukh is absorbed in the True Lord. || 4 || 1 || 40 ||
