Sree Guru Granth Sahib: Sree Guru Granth Saqhib English Translation

Excerpts from Sree Guru Granth Sahib. Without enjoying, the mind keeps wandering. As the rain bird is thirsty of water;As fish enjoys water; same way Nanak enjoys reciting God GodIf there is water, there is a lake, if there is no water there is no lake.The mind is attracted to Godly knowledge . Godly knowledge cannot be obtained without the guru.Hymn: Using air as culture, life has been created by the reaction of water and earth. The way, day and night begin and end. Same way the whole creation takes birth and dies. Good or bad whatever they do are accounted for in God’s court. Everyone gets the fruit of their deeds, some soon others late. Whoever worked hard to recite the name of God? Nanak says, they have attained salvation and many more have accompanied them.God’s worship is not wearing saffron coloured or dirty clothes. O Nanak, God is worshiped sitting at home through true guru’s teaching. 64 You may wander in all four corners and read four Vedas and all other scriptures in all four ages. O Nanak, if you follow true guru’s teachings then only God enshrines in the mind and obtains salvation. The guru is God. Worshiping guru the God with devotion attains salvation.First Master: Songs, sounds, pleasures and clever tricks; Joy, love and the power to command; Wearing clothes and food have no place in the consciousness. True intuitive peace comes by enshrining God’s name in the mind.O mind Love God as fish loves water. As the water gets deeper she enjoys more; the mind and body become peaceful. It cannot survive without water even for a moment. Then water also feels the pain. 2 O mind, love the Lord, as the rain bird loves rain. The ponds get filled, the land becomes lush green but the rain bird does not get a drop. You receive what is in your fate. You only get what you earn. O mind, love God as the water loves milk. Water mixed with milk changes its colour but does not let the milk change.Hymn: Guru is mother, the father, the master and transcendent Lord. Guru is a friend the destroyer of ignorance, a relative and a brother. Guru is the bestowal, the teacher of God’s name. Guru’s lesson is distinct. Guru is the image of peace truth and intellect. Guru is the touchstone that transforms. Guru is a shrine, pool of divine wisdom. To obtain guru’s divine knowledge is beyond imagination. Guru is the Creator, the destroyer of sins; Guru purifies the sinners. Guru exists from the beginning, for a long time, for ages. Reciting God through guru’s teaching attains salvation. O God; unite me with the guru by your grace; that I the sinner swim across holding on to guru the true guru the God the transcendent Lord the guru; Nanak prays and pays regard to guru the God. 1!!Kabeer, it is good to serve both; one the saint the other God. God is the bestowal of liberation; the saint inspires us to recite His name.Once you obtain divine treasure, do not tell anyone O kabeer; There is no market, no appraiser, no customer, and no price What is that word, what is that virtue, and what is that magic mantra. How I decorate myself so that I can entice my husband Lord .Humility is the word, forgiveness is the virtue, and sweet words are the magic mantra. Make those three disguises O sister, and you will entice your Husband LordGod is beyond birth, and yet it is used as husband Lord. It is used only for comparison of human relations between husband and wife
