735 SOOHEE, FOURTH MEHL, SEVENTH HOUSE:ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Which, which of Your Glorious Virtues should I sing and recount, Lord? You are my Lord and Master, the treasure of excellence. I cannot express Your Glorious Praises. You are my Lord and Master, lofty and benevolent. ॥1॥ The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is my only support. If it pleases You, please save me, O my Lord and Master; without You, I have no other at all. ॥1॥ Pause॥ You alone are my strength, and my Court, O my Lord and Master; unto You alone I pray. There is no other place where I can offer my prayers; I can tell my pains and pleasures only to You. ॥2॥ Water is locked up in the earth, and fire is locked up in wood. The sheep and the lions are kept in one place; O mortal, meditate on the Lord, and your doubts and fears shall be removed. ॥3॥ So behold the glorious greatness of the Lord, O Saints; the Lord blesses the dishonored with honor. As dust rises from underfoot, O Nanak, so does the Lord make all people fall at the feet of the Holy. ॥4॥1॥12॥ SOOHEE, FOURTH MEHL: You Yourself, O Creator, know everything; what can I possibly tell You? You know all the bad and the good; as we act, so are we rewarded. ॥1॥ O my Lord and Master, You alone know the state of my inner being. You know all the bad and the good; as it pleases You, so You make us speak. ॥1॥ Pause॥ The Lord has infused the love of Maya into all bodies; through this human body, there comes the opportunity to worship the Lord with devotion. You unite some with the True Guru, and bless them with peace; while others, the self-willed manmukhs, are engrossed in worldly affairs. ॥2॥ All belong to You, and You belong to all, O my Creator Lord; You wrote the words of destiny on the forehead of everyone. As You bestow Your Glance of Grace, so are mortals made; without Your Gracious Glance, no one assumes any form. ॥3॥ You alone know Your Glorious Greatness; everyone constantly meditates on You. That being, with whom You are pleased, is united with You; O servant Nanak, only such a mortal is accepted. ॥4॥2॥13॥ SOOHEE, FOURTH MEHL: Those beings, within whose inner selves my Lord, Har, Har, dwells — all their diseases are cured. They alone become liberated, who meditate on the Name of the Lord; they obtain the supreme status. ॥1॥ O my Lord, the Lord’s humble servants become healthy. Those who meditate on my Lord, Har, Har, through the Word of the Guru’s Teachings, are rid of the disease of ego. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva suffer from the disease of the three gunas — the three qualities; they do their deeds in egotism. The poor fools do not remember the One who created them; this understanding of the Lord is only obtained by those who become Gurmukh. ॥2॥ The entire world is afflicted by the disease of egotism.
