In His Praise

[Sardara123]

Guru Ji tells us to sing God's praise day and night.

In the following Shabad Guru Ji describes God's Praise as PRICELESS:

English Translation:
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent is Your Name.
False, false, false, false is pride in the world. ||1||Pause||
The glorious vision of Your slaves, O Infinite Lord, is wonderful and beauteous.
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the whole world is just ashes. ||1||
Your Creative Power is marvellous, and Your Lotus Feet are admirable.
Your Praise is priceless, O True King. ||2||
God is the Support of the unsupported.
Meditate day and night on the Cherisher of the meek and humble. ||3||
God has been merciful to Nanak.
May I never forget God; He is my heart, my soul, my breath of life. ||4||10||

Give up cleverness, let Him support your Mind, and obtain the rapture and the vision of his servants.

All other clever tricks are useless, O Beloved; You alone are my Protector. ||1||Pause||

One who meets with the Perfect True Guru, O Beloved, that humble person is

He alone serves the Guru, O Beloved, unto whom the Lord becomes merciful.

O Nanak, the Guru is the Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord; He is ever-present, forever and ever. ||1||

I live by hearing, hearing of those who know their God.

ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਰਾਧਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਮਨੁ ਰਾਤਾ ॥
har naam araadhhehi naam vakhaanehi har naamae hee man raathaa ||
They contemplate the Lord's Name, they chant the Lord's Name, and their minds are imbued with the Lord's Name.

ਸੇਵਕੁ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਮਾਗੈ ਪੂਰੈ ਕਰਮਿ ਕਮਾਵਾ ॥
saevak jan kee saevaa maagai poorai karam kamaavaa ||
I am Your servant; I beg to serve Your humble servants. By the karma of perfect destiny, I do this.
