He was in the beginning, He has been throughout the ages, He is now, and He shall always be. I bow in submission to God, my Protector from the very beginning of time. || 10 || The Ninth Day: The Name is the supreme almighty Master of the nine masters of Yoga, the nine realms of the earth, and each and every heart. That human who remains lovingly focused on the Lord, prays Nanak, shall not be consumed by death. Forget the three qualities of wind, water and fire, and concentrate on the pure True Name. || 9 || The Eighth Day: The eight miraculous powers come when one subdues his own mind, and contemplates the True Lord through pure actions. With the True Lord in the mind, and the True Lord lovingly on one’s lips, one is blessed with the banner of Truth, and meets with no obstructions. Bathing in good conduct, and contemplating the True Lord within the heart, one obtains the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, and carries everyone across. || 8 || The Seventh Day: When the body is imbued with Truth and contentment, the seven seas within are filled with the Immaculate Water. Through Truth, the truthful ones merge into the True Lord. Those who wear religious robes burn, and are ruined. One who is pierced through by the Shabad, obtains honor. If God wills it so, then one is summoned to the Mansion of His Presence. The unstruck sound current of the Shabad vibrates of itself. || 7 || The Sixth Day: God organized the six systems of Yoga. He follows the Guru’s Teachings, and enshrines devotional worship. He alone is emancipated, whom the Lord and Master emancipates. He is like the bird, imprisoned in a cage he paces back and forth behind the bars, but he is not released. || 6 || The false one has no honor or fame like the black crow, he never becomes pure.
Some attain the Court and the Mansion of the True Lord, and behold Him, ever-present. Some are imbued with the Lord’s Love, while some die, and are reduced to dust. Some taste the sublime essence of the Shabad, and are satisfied. Some are gripped by doubt, hunger, emotional attachment and desire. The Lord Himself is unfathomable and detached. || 5 || The Fifth Day: The five elements are demons. One who overcomes the three qualities, dwells in the fourth state. He alone understands, whom the Lord causes to understand. He created the eighteen Puraanas, the six Shaastras and the three qualities.
Who is close, and who is far away? || 4 || The Fourth Day: He created the four Vedas, the four sources of creation, and distinct forms of speech. He evaluates them, and totally pervades them. The One who fashioned them, knows their value. || 3 || The Third Day: He created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the gods, goddesses and various manifestations. The One who created the Creation, also watches over it. He made the earth and the sky into places to live. Breaking the cosmic egg, He united, and separated. || 2 || The True Lord Himself created the universe, joining the elements together. Practicing hypocrisy, no one finds liberation. Without the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, no one finds release. What have they brought, and what will they take with them when they go? The Messenger of Death looms over their heads, and they endure his beating. The are tied up at Death’s door, and continue coming and going. || 1 || Pause || The Second Day: Those who are in love with another, come to regret and repent. || 1 || Whose Name should I chant, and meditate on, except the Lord of the Universe? Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, the Mansion of the Lord’s Presence is revealed within the home of one’s own heart. By Guru’s Grace, I have obtained the supreme status. I am a sacrifice to one who sees, and inspires others to see Him. Searching, searching, I have seen Him in each and every heart. He is inaccessible and unfathomable, with no form or feature. The First Day: The One Universal Creator is unique, immortal, unborn, beyond social class or involvement.
