ੴ

Raag Gond, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

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

The ritual sacrifice of horses,

giving one's weight in gold to charities,

and ceremonial cleansing baths -||1||

These are not equal to singing the Praises of the Lord's Name.

Meditate on your Lord, you lazy man! ||1||Pause||

Offering sweet rice at Gaya,

living on the river banks at Benares,

reciting the four Vedas by heart;||2||

Completing all religious rituals,

restraining sexual passion by the spiritual wisdom given by the Guru,

and performing the six rituals;||3||

Expounding on Shiva and Shakti

O man, renounce and abandon all these things.

Meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe.

Meditate, O Naam Dayv, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||1||
