Talk:Guru Granth Sahib/Siree Raag

in siree raag the word mehl is wrong. it is mahalla. mehla means a woman. when your further link a woman then it expands to the family, husband son daughter and the whole family etc. It never comes again in any other sub sections of siree guru granth sahib as the son daughter or husband as any sub section of siree guru granth sahib. on the other hand mahalla leads to the house town village the world and the universe itself and to siree guru granth sahib itself.further to this discussion the house ( Ghar) is used in siree guru granth sahib time and again. so the word mahalla means a section of a village or a town or siree guru granth sahib is correct.

God is one. He is realized by guru’s grace. Tune siri First Master House 1: If I had a palace made of pearls, inlaid with jewels. Scented with musk, saffron and sandalwood, a sheer delight to see. Do not forget; it means nothing if you do not miss God. ||1|| Without missing God, may my soul be set on fire and burnt.

15 I asked my guru and understood! There is no other place to go. encased with rubies. You enjoy the company of heavenly beauties wearing jewels. Do not forget; it means nothing if you do not miss God. ||2|| If I was a mystic sitting in trance and show miracles! Bring out the invisible at will, so that people are hypnotized by it. Do not forget! It means nothing if you do not miss God. ||3|| If I was a king, raise an army and sit on the throne. Have the authority to issue orders. O Nanak, it is just bowing hot air. Do not forget; It means nothing if you do not miss God. ||4||1|| Siree Tune, First Master: If I live for millions of years and the air was my food and drink. If I live in a cave and never see the sun or the moon and never sleep even in dreams. Still I cannot fathom You. How can I describe Your greatness? ||1|| The true formless Lord lives in that place. You listen from others and preach others; it is accepted only if it pleases Him? ||1||Pause|| Cut the special grass again and again and put into the mill to ground into flour. Burn it to ashes with fire; still I cannot fathom You. How can I describe Your greatness? ||2|| If I was a bird flying high in the sky! No one could see me, neither I eat nor drink anything. Still I cannot fathom You. How can I describe Your greatness? ||3||Page 15. O Nanak, if I have tons of paper to read, I read and am hypnotized by that. If I had unlimited amount of ink and I could write as fast as the wind. Still I cannot fathom you. How can I describe your greatness? whatever I eat is pre-ordained! Going to different places is pre – ordained, pre ordained is listening and seeing. Breathing is pre ordained; does not matter whether you read or ask someone. ||1|| O elder; cleanse yourself from the enticement of worldly wealth. The ignorant has forgotten the name of God. He goes nowhere. ||1||Pause|| Life and death come to all. Death over rules everywhere. No one can accompany you where the account is audited. Those who cry at death just tie the bundle of straw; ||2|| Everyone talks about his greatness, no one says any less. No one knows its value. Cannot become great just by talking. O Lord; you are the true master of all beings in the whole world. ||3|| I am the lowest of low O Nanak, You are always with the lowest of low. Who can I compare you the greatest of the great! Where the humble reside; You bless them. ||4||3||
 * 1||Pause|| If the land was a mosaic of diamonds, and the bed was
 * 4||2|| Siree Rag, First Master: Whatever I speak is pre-ordained

16 Siree Tune, First Master: Greed is like a dog; lie is like filth, cheating is like eating rotten corpse Slandering others is like putting filth of others in your mouth. The anger of a wicked person is like fire. O my Lord, I keep on admiring myself for no reason. ||1|| O elder, say only which brings honour. Those who do good deeds are good. Those who do bad deeds are bad. ||1||Pause|| The pleasures of gold, silver, women and the pleasure of the fragrance! The pleasure of horses, beautiful beds, the house, the pleasure of sweet treats and the pleasure of hearty meals of meat. These are the pleasures of the body, where is the place for the name of God? ||2|| The words that bring honour when spoken are acceptable. Harsh words bring grief. Listen, O ignorant and fools mind! Whatever is acceptable to Him is good, everything else is a tell tale. ||3|| Wisdom, honour and wealth are in the laps of those; in whose hearts God dwells! What to praise them, they are already great. Why bother questioning them. O Nanak those without the grace of God cherish neither charity nor the name. ||4||4|| Siree Tune, First Master: God the giver has given the colour of falsehood. Intoxicated by the worldly pleasures for a few days you forgot death. Those who found the truth are sober and protected in God’s court. ||1|| O Nanak believe; there is God! Serving Him attains peace; you shall go to His court with honour. ||1||Pause|| As liquor is made fermenting jagry! Same way Godliness is attained fermenting truth. Page 16. I admire those, who listen and explain the truth. Your intoxication will be accepted only if you reach the destiny? ||2|| Those who recite God and do good deeds; fragrance of truth comes out of their body. Then you should be happy. It is the greatest gift. Tell your sufferings to the one who enjoys the comfort and happiness. ||3|| Why forget Him who gave you the soul mind and life. Everything is evil without Him including what you wear or eat. Everything else is false. Whatever pleases You is acceptable. ||4||5|| Siree Tune, First Master: Burn emotional attachment, grind it into ink and make intelligence into paper! Make desire a pen, mind a writer, ask the guru and write what he says. Write and admire His name again and again. There is no limit to it. ||1|| O elder, write this and understand whatever you write. Where the account is asked for, the truth prevails. ||1||Pause|| Where admiration is acknowledged, happiness and enjoyment prevail. The mark of greatness appears on the faces of those who have the

17 true name in the heart. It only happens if you earned it; does not happen blowing air by talking. ||2|| One comes one goes and people call them generals. Some are born beggars, and some hold vast courts. You find out when you go there, that everything is useless without His name. ||3|| Worried about the fear ahead, the body is getting weaker and weaker. Those called the kings and princes are seen reduced to dirt. Nanak says when you depart; all false attachments are broken. ||4||6|| Siree Tune, First Master: Believe that all tastes are sweet. Hear that the tastes are salty. Say what you want, but what you swallow that affects you. Joy of thirty-six course food is one that is the name of God; the blessed gets it. ||1|| O elder, all these pleasures of foods are useless. The food that gives pain by eating is really a bad food. ||1||Pause|| Colourful wear, mind and body dyed white and give lots of awns. Wearing the blue clothes means to cleanse the soul and walk carefully hereafter. You wear the belt of contentment and called the rich and handsome. ||2|| O elder, all these pleasures are useless. The wear that gives pain, is really the bad clothing. ||1||Pause|| Travel riding an iron clad horse wearing gold ornaments. Bow and arrow and arms are your power. You travel with band and army in honour. That is how you show off. ||3|| O elder, all these pleasures of rides are useless. The ride which gives pain is really a bad ride. ||1||Pause|| The happiness comes reciting the name of God, which happens by God’s grace. Page 17. The command that appeals to you is the true command. Anything else is too much. O Nanak, the true emperor does not take advice. ||4|| O elder, all other sleeping pleasures are useless. The sleep that gives pain is really a bad sleep. ||1||Pause||4||7|| Siree Tune, Master: 1 Body made from saffron, the tongue of jewels, and the fragrance comes out of breath. With the symbol of bathing at sixty-eight pilgrimages on the forehead; he thinks the mind and body is enlightened! Praise God’s name like weaving a cloth is the true virtue. hundred times illicitly, only collects elicit earnings. ||1||Pause|| People worship you calling you a divine saint and beg for every worldly thing. You are admired and included in the class of mystics If this adornment is not accounted for in God’s court; all worship is useless. have the treasure of God’s name in them. They attain that status
 * 1|| O elder, all other wisdoms are useless and irrelevant. If you earn

You shall depart crying. O Nanak if you forget God’s name, you will know what happens in His court. ||4||8|| Siree Tune, First Master: The virtuous spreads virtue; the virtue less suffers in pain. If you long for a true spouse, cannot get the right one doing false deeds. No boat no raft, cannot find Him, because the true beloved (God) is far away. ||1|| My Lord sits on an unshakable perfect throne. If God fulfills it, the devotees achieve immeasurable truth. ||1||Pause|| God’s abode is beautiful, full of gems, rubies, pearls, diamonds surrounded by gold. How can I climb the fortress without a ladder; same way climbing through guru’s teachings you can climb to divinity. ||2|| Guru is the ladder, guru is boat, and the guru is the raft of God’s name. Guru is the boat to carry me across the world-ocean; the guru is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage at the holy river. Those who appeal to Him get cleansed bathing in the ocean of truth. ||3|| Only the perfect can be called perfect. He sits on the perfect throne. His perfect place is beautiful. With His grace the hopeless turns into hopeful. O Nanak if you meet the perfect one, why would your virtues diminish? ||4||9|| Siree Tune, First Master: Come, my         dear sisters; let us get together and embrace each other. Let’s get together and tell stories of our all-powerful Husband Lord. All virtues are in our true Lord; we are all virtue less. ||1|| O Creator, all are in Your power. Contemplate guru’s teaching. If I achieve You what else do I need? ||1||Pause|| Go, and ask the happy soul-bride, how did you entice your Husband Lord?” I enticed Him by simplicity, contentment and talking sweet! The beloved husband Lord is realized by listening to guru’s teaching. ||2||Page 18. How big is Your creation, how great is Your blessing. How many are Your beings and creatures, who praise You day and night. How many are Your forms and colours! How many high and low classes? ||3|| Meeting the true one the truth wells up. The truthful absorb in truth. Understanding generates honour; through guru’s teaching the other affects are erased. O Nanak, the true Lord shall unite you with Him by Himself. ||4||10|| Siree Tune, First Master: The good rises high the egotistic dies in the bud. The evil start serving you if you place your faith in the true guru. The grace of the carefree God can renounce the useless schemes! ||1|| O

19 mind, the falsehood disappears finding the truth. How can you be fearless without fear? The guru-willed merges with guru’s teachings. There are many beggars but giver is only one God. He who controls life and death! You achieve peace enshrining Him in the mind. ||2|| The world is a drama staged in a dream played out in a moment. Like minded get together and the opposite minded get up and go. Whatever pleases Him happens; no one else can do anything. ||3|| The guru-willed believes in it. Buying the truth is the genuine buy. Whoever buys the truth is honoured by the perfect guru. O Nanak, he will know if he purchased the genuine article! ||4||11|| Siree Tune, First Master: When likeminded meet each other, they admire each other sincerely. It leaves a permanent tint like the dye of a deep red colour on them. They get contentment finding truth by reciting the name of God all the time? ||1|| O brother, become the dust of the feet of the humble saints. Find guru through the congregation of saints that bestows salvation. ||1||Pause|| Where God resides is a palace on top of a beautiful place. By doing truthful deeds one falls in love with the door of that palace. The guru-willed consoles his mind contemplating with the inner God. ||2|| Doing deeds with flickering mind generates other hopes and anxiety. Cannot eliminate uncertainty of mind without the guru. Once you recognize yourself. God cleanses you by his grace. God’s house without Him being there. Contemplate guru’s teachings and abandon other hopes. O Nanak that is how you attain salvation. I admire those who attain it. ||4||12|| Siree Tune, First Master: The life of a discarded bride is worthless, because she is robbed by duality. It is like the wall of mud that crumbles little by little and falls. Cannot attain peace without guru’s teaching. Suffering does not end without the beloved Lord. |1|| O ignorant; what is the idea of doing makeup without the husband Lord? Page 19. You do not find shelter anywhere; suffer punishment of lies in God’s court. ||1||Pause|| All knowing God does not forget. He is the true farmer of the universe. First He prepares the land, and then He plants the seed of the true name. The priceless treasure is achieved reciting His name. You get what you earn. ||2|| Just knowing the guru, you do not understand what he does, what is his character. The blind forgot God’s name. The self-willed is in utter

20 darkness. His birth and death never end. Dies and reborn again he suffers in vain. ||3|| Bought sandalwood for smell, applied perfume, put red dye on the head in the hair. Applied saffron, sandalwood oil for scent and betel leaf and camphor for breath. If the bride does not appeal to the husband Lord. All this was a waste. ||4|| The enjoyment of all pleasures is futile and all makeup is useless. Till you contemplate guru’s teachings. Going to guru’s door has no use. O Nanak, she, who loves her Husband Lord is a happy soul bride; ||5||13|| Siree Tune, First Master: The body left behind is scary when the soul goes out from inside. The burning fire of life is extinguished and no smoke comes out. The five senses depart painfully that were engaged in duality. ||1|| O ignorant; recite the name of God. That is the essence of virtues. Arrogance, possessiveness and enticement are all robbed by ego. ||1||Pause||. Those who forget the name of God by engaging in other activities? They die engulfed by the fire of greed and duality in the mind. Those protected by the guru are saved; the cheats cheat all others. ||2|| Love vanished affection departed; hate and opposition died! I am tired of egotistic deeds, false attachments, worldly wealth and anger. You realize the truth if it is in your fate, the guru-willed find no hindrance. ||3| Find the truth by searching the truth through guru’s teaching.
