1O Pandit, I saw your Raam Chand coming too

2; he lost his wife, fighting a war against Raawan. ||3||

3The Hindu is sightless; the Muslim has only one eye.

4The spiritual teacher is wiser than both of them.

5The Hindu worships at the temple, the Muslim at the mosque.

6Naam Dayv serves that Lord, who is not limited to either the temple or the mosque. ||4||3||7||

7Raag Gond, The Word Of Ravi Daas Jee, Second House:

8One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

9Meditate on the Lord Mukanday, the Liberator, O people of the world.

10Without Mukanday, the body shall be reduced to ashes.

11Mukanday is the Giver of liberation.

12Mukanday is my father and mother. ||1||

13Meditate on Mukanday in life, and meditate on Mukanday in death.

14His servant is blissful forever. ||1||Pause||

15The Lord, Mukanday, is my breath of life.

16Meditating on Mukanday, one's forehead will bear the Lord's insignia of approval.

17The renunciate serves Mukanday.

18Mukanday is the wealth of the poor and forlorn. ||2||

19When the One Liberator does me a favor,

20then what can the world do to me?

21Erasing my social status, I have entered His Court.

22You, Mukanday, are potent throughout the four ages. ||3||

23Spiritual wisdom has welled up, and I have been enlightened.

24In His Mercy, the Lord has made this worm His slave.

25Says Ravi Daas, now my thirst is quenched;

26I meditate on Mukanday the Liberator, and I serve Him. ||4||1||

27Gond:

28Someone may bathe at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage,

29and worship the twelve Shiva-lingam stones,

30and dig wells and pools,

31but if he indulges in slander, then all of this is useless. ||1||

32How can the slanderer of the Holy Saints be saved?

33Know for certain, that he shall go to hell. ||1||Pause||

34Someone may bathe at Kuruk-shaytra during a solar eclipse,

35and give his decorated wife in offering,

36and listen to all the Simritees,

37but if he indulges in slander, these are of no account. ||2||

38Someone may give countless feasts,

39and donate land, and build splendid buildings;

40he may neglect his own affairs to work for others,

41but if he indulges in slander, he shall wander in countless incarnations. ||3||

42Why do you indulge in slander, O people of the world?

43The emptiness of the slanderer is soon exposed.

44I have thought, and determined the fate of the slanderer.

45Says Ravi Daas, he is a sinner; he shall go to hell. ||4||2||11||7||2||49|| Total||
