You have not centered your mind on Him, even for an instant. || 1 || O Lord of

the Universe, I am such a sinner! God gave me body and soul, but I have not

practiced loving devotional worship to Him. || 1 || Pause || Others' wealth,

others' bodies, others' wives, others' slander and others' fights - I have not

given them up. For the sake of these, coming and going in reincarnation happens

over and over again, and this story never ends. || 2 || That house, in which the

Saints speak of the Lord - I have not visited it, even for an instant.

Drunkards, thieves, and evil-doers - I constantly dwell with them. || 3 ||

Sexual desire, anger, the wine of Maya, and envy - these are what I collect

within myself. Compassion, righteousness, and service to the Guru - these do not

visit me, even in my dreams. || 4 || He is merciful to the meek, compassionate

and benevolent, the Lover of His devotees, the Destroyer of fear. Says Kabeer,

please protect Your humble servant from disaster; O Lord, I serve only You. || 5

|| 8 || Remembering Him in meditation, the door of liberation is found. You

shall go to heaven, and not return to this earth. In the home of the Fearless

Lord, the celestial trumpets resound. The unstruck sound current will vibrate

and resonate forever. || 1 || Practice such meditative remembrance in your mind.

Without this meditative remembrance, liberation will never be found. || 1 ||

Pause || Remembering Him in meditation, you will meet with no obstruction. You

will be liberated, and the great load will be taken away. Bow in humility within

your heart, and you will not have to be reincarnated over and over again. || 2

|| Remember Him in meditation, celebrate and be happy. God has placed His lamp

deep within you, which burns without any oil. That lamp makes the world

immortal; it conquers and drives out the poisons of sexual desire and anger. ||

3 || Remembering Him in meditation, you shall obtain salvation. Wear that

meditative remembrance as your necklace. Practice that meditative remembrance,

and never let it go. By Guru's Grace, you shall cross over. || 4 || Remembering

Him in meditation, you shall not be obligated to others. You shall sleep in your

mansion, in blankets of silk. Your soul shall blossom forth in happiness, on

this comfortable bed. So drink in this meditative remembrance, night and day. ||

5 || Remembering Him in meditation, your troubles will depart. Remembering Him

in meditation, Maya will not bother you. Meditate, meditate in remembrance on

the Lord, Har, Har, and sing His Praises in your mind. This meditative

remembrance is obtained from the True Guru. || 6 || Forever and ever, remember

Him, day and night, while standing up and sitting down, with every breath and

morsel of food. While awake and asleep, enjoy the essence of this meditative

remembrance. The Lord's meditative remembrance is obtained by good destiny. || 7

|| Remembering Him in meditation, you shall not be loaded down. Make this

meditative remembrance of the Lord's Name your Support. Says Kabeer, He has no

limits; no tantras or mantras can be used against Him. || 8 || 9 ||

 

RAAMKALEE, SECOND HOUSE, THE WORD OF KABEER JEE:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

 

Maya, the Trapper, has sprung her trap.

 

The Guru, the Liberated One, has put out the fire. When I came to understand

this mind, from the tips of my toes to the crown of my head, then I took my

cleansing bath, deep within my self. || 1 || The mind, the master of the breath,

abides in the state of supreme bliss. There is no death, no re-birth, and no

aging for me now. || 1 || Pause || Turning away from materialism, I have found

intuitive support. I have entered into the sky of the mind, and opened the Tenth

Gate. The chakras of the coiled Kundalini energy have been opened, and I have

met my Sovereign Lord King without fear. || 2 || My attachment to Maya has been

eradicated; the moon energy has devoured the sun energy. When I was focused and

merged into the all-pervading Lord, then the unstruck sound current began to

vibrate. || 3 || The Speaker has spoken, and proclaimed the Word of the Shabad.

The hearer has heard, and enshrined it in the mind. Chanting to the Creator, one

crosses over. Says Kabeer, this is the essence. || 4 || 1 || 10 || The moon and

the sun are both the embodiment of light. Within their light, is God, the

incomparable. || 1 || O spiritual teacher, contemplate God. In this light is

contained the expanse of the created universe. || 1 || Pause || Gazing upon the

diamond, I humbly salute this diamond. Says Kabeer, the Immaculate Lord is

indescribable. || 2 || 2 || 11 || People of the world, remain awake and aware.

Even though you are awake, you are being robbed, O Siblings of Destiny. While

the Vedas stand guard watching, the Messenger of Death carries you away. || 1 ||

Pause || He thinks that the bitter nimm fruit is a mango, and the mango is a

bitter nimm. He imagines the ripe banana on the thorny bush. He thinks that the

ripe coconut hangs on the barren simmal tree; what a stupid, idiotic fool he is!

|| 1 || The Lord is like sugar, spilled onto the sand; the elephant cannot pick

it up. Says Kabeer, give up your ancestry, social status and honor; be like the

tiny ant - pick up and eat the sugar. || 2 || 3 || 12 ||

 

THE WORD OF NAAM DAYV JEE, RAAMKALEE, FIRST HOUSE:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

 

The boy takes paper, cuts it and makes a kite, and flies it in the sky. Talking

with his friends, he still keeps his attention on the kite string. || 1 || My

mind has been pierced by the Name of the Lord, like the goldsmith, whose

attention is held by his work. || 1 || Pause || The young girl in the city takes

a pitcher, and fills it with water. She laughs, and plays, and talks with her

friends, but she keeps her attention focused on the pitcher of water. || 2 ||

The cow is let loose, out of the mansion of the ten gates, to graze in the

field. It grazes up to five miles away, but keeps its attention focused on its

calf. || 3 || Says Naam Dayv, listen, O Trilochan: the child is laid down in the

cradle. Its mother is at work, inside and outside, but she holds her child in

her thoughts. || 4 || 1 || There are countless Vedas, Puraanas and Shaastras; I

do not sing their songs and hymns.

 

In the imperishable realm of the Formless Lord, I play the flute of the unstruck

sound current. || 1 || Becoming detached, I sing the Lord's Praises. Imbued with

the unattached, unstruck Word of the Shabad, I shall go to the home of the Lord,

who has no ancestors. || 1 || Pause || Then, I shall no longer control the

breath through the energy channels of the Ida, Pingala and Shushmanaa. I look

upon both the moon and the sun as the same, and I shall merge in the Light of

God. || 2 || I do not go to see sacred shrines of pilgrimage, or bathe in their

waters; I do not bother any beings or creatures. The Guru has shown me the

sixty-eight places of pilgrimage within my own heart, where I now take my

cleansing bath. || 3 || I do not pay attention to anyone praising me, or calling

me good and nice. Says Naam Dayv, my consciousness is imbued with the Lord; I am

absorbed in the profound state of Samaadhi. || 4 || 2 || When there was no

mother and no father, no karma and no human body, when I was not and you were

not, then who came from where? || 1 || O Lord, no one belongs to anyone else. We

are like birds perched on a tree. || 1 || Pause || When there was no moon and no

sun, then water and air were blended together. When there were no Shaastras and

no Vedas, then where did karma come from? || 2 || Control of the breath and

positioning of the tongue, focusing at the third eye and wearing malas of tulsi

beads, are all obtained through Guru's Grace. Naam Dayv prays, this is the

supreme essence of reality; the True Guru has inspired this realization. || 3 ||

RAAMKALEE, SECOND HOUSE:

 

Someone may practice austerities at Benares, or die upside-down at a sacred

shrine ofpilgrimage, or burn his body in fire, or rejuvenate his body to life

almost forever; he may perform the horse-sacrifice ceremony, or give donations

of gold covered over, but none of these is equal to the worship of the Lord's

Name. || 1 || O hypocrite, renounce and abandon your hypocrisy; do not practice

deception. Constantly, continually, chant the Name of the Lord. || 1 || Pause ||

Someone may go to the Ganges or the Godaavari, or to the Kumbha festival, or

bathe at Kaydaar Naat'h, or make donations of thousands of cows at Gomti; he may

make millions of pilgrimages to sacred shrines, or freeze his body in the

Himalayas; still, none of these is equal to the worship of the Lord's Name. || 2

|| Someone may give away horses and elephants, or women on their beds, or land;

he may give such gifts over and over again. He may purify his soul, and give

away in charity his body weight in gold; none of these is equal to the worship

of the Lord's Name. || 3 || Do not harbor anger in your mind, or blame the

Messenger of Death; instead, realize the immaculate state of Nirvaanaa. My

Sovereign Lord King is Raam Chandra, the Son of the King Dasrat'h; prays Naam

Dayv, I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar. || 4 || 4 ||

 

RAAMKALEE, THE WORD OF RAVI DAAS JEE:

 

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

They read and reflect upon all the Names of God; they listen, but they do not

see the Lord, the embodiment of love and intuition. How can iron be transformed

into gold, unless it touches the Philosopher's Stone?

 

|| 1 || O Divine Lord, the knot of skepticism cannot be untied. Sexual desire,

anger, Maya, intoxication and jealousy - these five have combined to plunder the

world. || 1 || Pause || I am a great poet, of noble heritage; I am a Pandit, a

religious scholar, a Yogi and a Sannyaasi; I am a spiritual teacher, a warrior

and a giver - such thinking never ends. || 2 || Says Ravi Daas, no one

understands; they all run around, deluded like madmen. The Lord's Name is my

only Support; He is my life, my breath of life, my wealth. || 3 || 1 ||

 

RAAMKALEE, THE WORD OF BAYNEE JEE:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

 

The energy channels of the Ida, Pingala and Shushmanaa: these three dwell in one

place. This is the true place of confluence of the three sacred rivers: this is

where my mind takes its cleansing bath. || 1 || O Saints, the Immaculate Lord

dwells there; how rare are those who go to the Guru, and understand this. The

all-pervading immaculate Lord is there. || 1 || Pause || What is the insignia of

the Divine Lord's dwelling? The unstruck sound current of the Shabad vibrates

there. There is no moon or sun, no air or water there. The Gurmukh becomes

aware, and knows the Teachings. || 2 || Spiritual wisdom wells up, and

evil-mindedness departs; the nucleus of the mind sky is drenched with Ambrosial

Nectar. One who knows the secret of this device, meets the Supreme Divine Guru.

|| 3 || The Tenth Gate is the home of the inaccessible, infinite Supreme Lord.

Above the store is a niche, and within this niche is the commodity. || 4 || One

who remains awake, never sleeps. The three qualities and the three worlds

vanish, in the state of Samaadhi. He takes the Beej Mantra, the Seed Mantra, and

keeps it in his heart. Turning his mind away from the world, he focuses on the

cosmic void of the absolute Lord. || 5 || He remains awake, and he does not lie.

He keeps the five sensory organs under his control. He cherishes in his

consciousness the Guru's Teachings. He dedicates his mind and body to the Lord's

Love. || 6 || He considers his hands to be the leaves and branches of the tree.

He does not lose his life in the gamble. He plugs up the source of the river of

evil tendencies. Turning away from the west, he makes the sun rise in the east.

He bears the unbearable, and the drops trickle down within; then, he speaks with

the Lord of the world. || 7 || The four-sided lamp illuminates the Tenth Gate.

The Primal Lord is at the center of the countless leaves. He Himself abides

there with all His powers. He weaves the jewels into the pearl of the mind. || 8

|| The lotus is at the forehead, and the jewels surround it. Within it is the

Immaculate Lord, the Master of the three worlds. The Panch Shabad, the five

primal sounds, resound and vibrate their in their purity. The chauris - the fly

brushes wave, and the conch shells blare like thunder. The Gurmukh tramples the

demons underfoot with his spiritual wisdom. Baynee longs for Your Name, Lord. ||
