TUKHAARI CHHANT, FOURTH MEHL:

 

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

My inner being is filled with love for my Beloved Husband Lord. How can

I live without Him? As long as I do not have the Blessed Vision of His

Darshan, how can I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar? How can I drink in

the Ambrosial Nectar without the Lord? I cannot survive without Him.

Night and day, I cry out, "Pri-o! Pri-o! Beloved! Beloved!", day and

night. Without my Husband Lord, my thirst is not quenched. Please, bless

me with Your Grace, O my Beloved Lord, that I may dwell on the Name of

the Lord, Har, Har, forever. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I

have met my Beloved; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. || 1 || When

I see my Beloved Husband Lord, I chant the Lord's Glorious Praises with

love.

My inner being blossoms forth; I continually utter, "Pri-o! Pri-o! Beloved!

Beloved!" I speak of my Dear Beloved, and through the Shabad, I am saved.

Unless I can see Him, I am not satisfied. That soul-bride who is ever

adorned with the Shabad, meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Please bless this beggar, Your humble servant, with the Gift of Mercy;

please unite me with my Beloved. Night and day, I meditate on the Guru,

the Lord of the World; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. || 2 || I am

a stone in the Boat of the Guru. Please carry me across the terrifying

ocean of poison. O Guru, please, lovingly bless me with the Word of the

Shabad. I am such a fool - please save me! I am a fool and an idiot;

I know nothing of Your extent. You are known as Inaccessible and Great.

You Yourself are Merciful; please, mercifully bless me. I am unworthy

and dishonored - please, unite me with Yourself! Through countless lifetimes,

I wandered in sin; now, I have come seeking Your Sanctuary. Take pity

on me and save me, Dear Lord; I have grasped the Feet of the True Guru.

|| 3 || The Guru is the Philosopher's Stone; by His touch, iron is transformed

into gold. My light merges into the Light, and my body-fortress is so

beautiful. My body-fortress is so beautiful; I am fascinated by my God.

How could I forget Him, for even a breath, or a morsel of food? I have

seized the Unseen and Unfathomable Lord, through the Word of the Guru's

Shabad. I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. I place my head in offering

before the True Guru, if it truly pleases the True Guru. Take pity on

me, O God, Great Giver, that Nanak may merge in Your Being. || 4 || 1

|| TUKHAARI, FOURTH MEHL: The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible, Unfathomable,

Infinite, the Farthest of the Far. Those who meditate on You, O Lord

of the Universe - those humble beings cross over the terrifying, treacherous

world-ocean. Those who meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, easily

cross over the terrifying, treacherous world-ocean. Those who lovingly

walk in harmony with the Word of the Guru, the True Guru - the Lord,

Har, Har, unites them with Himself. The mortal's light meets the Light

of God, and blends with that Divine Light when the Lord, the Support

of the Earth, grants His Grace. The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible,

Unfathomable, Infinite, the Farthest of the Far. || 1 || O my Lord and

Master, You are Inaccessible and Unfathomable. You are totally pervading

and permeating each and every heart. You are Unseen, Unknowable and

Unfathomable;

You are found through the Word of the Guru, the True Guru. Blessed, blessed

are those humble, powerful and perfect people, who join the Guru's Sangat,

the Society of the Saints, and chant His Glorious Praises. With clear

and precise understanding, the Gurmukhs contemplate the Guru's Shabad;

each and every instant, they continually speak of the Lord. When the

Gurmukh sits down, he chants the Lord's Name. When the Gurmukh stands

up, he chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har. O my Lord and Master, You are

Inaccessible and Unfathomable. You are totally pervading and permeating

each and every heart.
