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

Those who joyfully meet with True Guru are perfectly fulfilled and wise. Meet with Guru, they cross over the terrifying world-ocean. In the Court of the Lord, they are honored and approved. O Nanak, their faces are radiant; the Music of the Shabad, the World of God, wells up within them. Chant the Lord’s Name, and focus your consciousness on Him. Take the Merchandise of the Lord’s Praises with you. Your Lord shall see this and approve. Make good deeds the soil, and let the Word of the Shabad(Essence of God) be the seed; irrigate it continually with the water of Truth. Become such a farmer, and faith will sprout. As is their awareness, so is their way. Let the reading of your prayer book be the oil, and let the Fear of God be the wick for the lamp of this body. Light this lamp with the understanding of Truth. Use this oil to light this lamp. Light it, and meet your Lord and Master. This body is softened with the Word of the Guru’s Bani; you shall find peace, doing seva(selfless service).
