1One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

2Raamkalee, Third Mehla, First House:

3In the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, everyone spoke the Truth.

4In each and every home, devotional worship was performed by the people, according to the Guru's Teachings.

5In that Golden Age, Dharma had four feet.

6How rare are those people who, as Gurmukh, contemplate this and understand. ||1||

7In all four ages, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is glory and greatness.

8One who holds tight to the Naam is liberated; without the Guru, no one obtains the Naam. ||1||Pause||

9In the Silver Age of Traytaa Yuga, one leg was removed.

10Hypocrisy became prevalent, and people thought that the Lord was far away.

11The Gurmukhs still understood and realized;

12the Naam abided deep within them, and they were at peace. ||2||

13In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, duality and double-mindedness arose.

14Deluded by doubt, they knew duality.

15In this Brass Age, Dharma was left with only two feet.

16Those who became Gurmukh implanted the Naam deep within. ||3||

17In the Iron Age of Kali Yuga, Dharma was left with only one power.

18It walks on just one foot; love and emotional attachment to Maya have increased.

19Love and emotional attachment to Maya bring total darkness.

20If someone meets the True Guru, he is saved, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||

21Throughout the ages, there is only the One True Lord.

22Among all, is the True Lord; there is no other at all.

23Praising the True Lord, true peace is attained.

24How rare are those, who as Gurmukh, chant the Naam. ||5||

25Throughout all the ages, the Naam is the ultimate, the most sublime.

26How rare are those, who as Gurmukh, understand this.

27One who meditates on the Lord's Name is a humble devotee.

28O Nanak, in each and every age, the Naam is glory and greatness. ||6||1||

29Raamkalee, Fourth Mehla, First House:

30One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

31If someone is very fortunate, and is blessed with great high destiny, then he meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

32Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he finds peace, and merges in the Naam. ||1||

33O mortal, as Gurmukh, worship the Lord in devotion forever.

34Your heart shall be illumined; through the Guru's Teachings, lovingly attune yourself to the Lord. You shall merge in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

35The Great Giver is filled with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls;

36one who has good fortune and great destiny inscribed upon his forehead, digs them out, by following the Guru's Teachings. ||2||

37The Lord's Name is the jewel, the emerald, the ruby; digging it out, the Guru has placed it in your palm.

38The unfortunate, self-willed manmukh does not obtain it; this priceless jewel remains hidden behind a curtain of straw. ||3||

39If such pre-ordained destiny is written upon one's forehead, then the True Guru enjoins him to serve Him.

40O Nanak, then he obtains the jewel, the gem; blessed, blessed is that one who follows the Guru's Teachings, and finds the Lord. ||4||1||

41Raamkalee, Fourth Mehla:

42Meeting with the humble servants of the Lord, I am in ecstasy; they preach the sublime sermon of the Lord.

43The filth of evil-mindedness is totally washed away; joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, one is blessed with understanding. ||1||
