Selection from Sikhism’s Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Part 1 of 2

From the True Lord came the air, and from the air came water. He created the three worlds; in each and every heart He has infused His Light. The body of the five elements is dyed in the Fear of the True One; the mind is filled with the True Light. We shall merge into the One from whom we came. The more the Lord and Master dwells within the mind, the more the Gurmukh(one who follows the Guru’s teachings) drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar. Know the state of your inner being. When one’s light merges into the Light, and one’s intuitive consciousness is joined with the Intitive Consciousness, then one’s cruel and violent instincts and egotism depart, and skepticism and sorrow are taken away. The Lord abides within the mind of the Gurmukh(one who follows the Guru’s teachings), who merges in the Lord’s Union, through the Guru. The True Merchandise, Wealth and Capital are obeained through the Radiant Light of the Guru.
