Siree Raag - Part 080

93 : 3119
Sree Raag, The Word Of Devotee Baynee Jee:

93 : 3120
TO BE SUNG TO THE TUNE OF "PEHRAY":

93 : 3121
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

93 : 3122
O man, when you were coiled in the cradle of the womb, upside-down, you were absorbed in meditation.

93 : 3123
You took no pride in your perishable body; night and day were all the same to you-you lived unknowing, in the silence of the void.

93 : 3124
Remember the terrible pain and suffering of those days, now that you have spread out the net of your consciousness far and wide.

93 : 3125
Leaving the womb, you entered this mortal world; you have forgotten the Lord from your mind. ||1||

93 : 3126
Later, you will regret and repent-you fool! Why are you engrossed in evil-mindedness and skepticism?

93 : 3127
Think of the Lord, or else you shall be led to the City of Death. Why are you wandering around, out of control? ||1||Pause||

93 : 3128
You play like a child, craving sweets; moment by moment, you become more entangled in emotional attachment.

93 : 3129
Tasting good and bad, you eat nectar and then poison, and then the five passions appear and torture you.

93 : 3130
Abandoning meditation, penance and self-restraint, and the wisdom of good actions, you do not worship and adore the Lord's Name.

93 : 3131
You are overflowing with sexual desire, and your intellect is stained with darkness; you are held in the grip of Shakti's power. ||2||

93 : 3132
In the heat of youthful passion, you look with desire upon the faces of other men's wives; you do not distinguish between good and evil.

93 : 3133
Drunk with sexual desire and other great sins, you go astray, and do not distinguish between vice and virtue.

93 : 3134
Gazing upon your children and your property, your mind is proud and arrogant; you cast out the Lord from your heart.

93 : 3135
When others die, you measure your own wealth in your mind; you waste your life in the pleasures of the mouth and sexual organs. ||3||

93 : 3136
Your hair is whiter than the jasmine flower, and your voice has grown feeble, as if it comes from the seventh underworld.

93 : 3137
Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength have left you; but still, your sexual desire churns and drives you on.

93 : 3138
And so, your intellect has dried up through corruption, and the lotus flower of your body has wilted and withered.

93 : 3139
You have forsaken the Bani, the Word of the Immortal Lord, in this mortal world; in the end, you shall regret and repent. ||4||

93 : 3140
Gazing upon the tiny bodies of your children, love has welled up within your heart; you are proud of them, but you do not understand.

93 : 3141
You long for the dignity of a long life, but your eyes can no longer see anything.

93 : 3142
Your light has gone out, and the bird of your mind has flown away; you are no longer welcome in your own home and courtyard.

93 : 3143
Says Baynee, listen, O devotee: who has ever attained liberation after such a death? ||5||

93 : 3144
Sree Raag:

93 : 3145
You are me, and I am You-what is the difference between us?

93 : 3146
We are like gold and the bracelet, or water and the waves. ||1||

93 : 3147
If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord,

93 : 3148
how would You have acquired the name, 'Redeemer of sinners'? ||1||Pause||

93 : 3149
You are my Master, the Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts.

93 : 3150
The servant is known by his God, and the Lord and Master is known by His servant. ||2||

93 : 3151
Grant me the wisdom to worship and adore You with my body.

93 : 3152
O Ravi Daas, one who understands that the Lord is equally in all, is very rare. ||3||
