Through the Guru's Teachings, realize that He is pervading in all bodies;
354
:
314
O my soul, vibrate on the Profound, Unfathomable Lord. ||1||Pause||
354
:
315
Loving devotion to the Lord brings endless waves of joy and delight.
354
:
316
One who dwells with the Glorious Praises of the Lord, night and day, is sanctified.
354
:
317
The birth into the world of the faithless cynic is totally useless.
354
:
318
The humble devotee of the Lord remains unattached. ||2||
354
:
319
The body which sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord is sanctified.
354
:
320
The soul remains conscious of the Lord, absorbed in His Love.
354
:
321
The Lord is the Infinite Primal Being, beyond the beyond, the priceless jewel.
354
:
322
My mind is totally content, imbued with my Beloved. ||3||
354
:
323
Those who speak and babble on and on, are truly dead.
354
:
324
God is not far away - O God, You are right here.
354
:
325
I have seen that the whole world is engrossed in Maya.
354
:
326
O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||17||
354

327
Aasaa, First Mehl, Ti-Tukas:
354
:
328
One is a beggar, living on charity;
354
:
329
another is a king, absorbed in himself.
354
:
330
One receives honor, and another dishonor.
354
:
331
The Lord destroys and creates; He is enshrined in His meditation.
354
:
332
There is no other as great as You.
354
:
333
So whom should I present to You? Who is good enough? ||1||
354
:
334
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my only Support.
354
:
335
You are the Great Giver, the Doer, the Creator. ||1||Pause||
354
:
336
I have not walked on Your Path; I have followed the crooked path.
354
:
337
In the Court of the Lord, I find no place to sit.
354
:
338
I am mentally blind, in the bondage of Maya.

339
The wall of my body is breaking down, wearing away, growing weaker.
354
:
340
You have such high hopes of eating and living
354
:
341
- your breaths and morsels of food are already counted! ||2||
354
:
342
Night and day they are blind - please, bless them with Your Light.
354
:
343
They are drowning in the terrifying world-ocean, crying out in pain.
354
:
344
I am a sacrifice to those who chant, hear and believe in the Name.
354
:
345
Nanak utters this one prayer;
354
:
346
soul and body, all belong to You, Lord. ||3||
354
:
347
When You bless me, I chant Your Name.
354
:
348
Thus I find my seat in the Court of the Lord.
354
:
349
When it pleases You, evil-mindedness departs,
354
:
350
and the jewel of spiritual wisdom comes to dwell in the mind.
354
:
351
When the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then one comes to meet the True Guru.
354
:
352
Prays Nanak, carry us across the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||18||
354

353
Aasaa, First Mehl, Panch-Padas:
354
:
354
A cow without milk; a bird without wings; a garden without water - totally useless!
354
:
355
What is an emperor, without respect? The chamber of the soul is so dark, without the Name of the Lord. ||1||
354
:
356
How could I ever forget You? It would be so painful!
354
:
357
I would suffer such pain - no, I shall not forget You! ||1||Pause||
354
:
358
The eyes grow blind, the tongue does not taste, and the ears do not hear any sound.
354
:
359
He walks on his feet only when supported by someone else; without serving the Lord, such are the fruits of life. ||2||
354
:
360
The Word is the tree; the garden of the heart is the farm; tend it, and irrigate it with the Lord's Love.
354
:
361
All these trees bear the fruit of the Name of the One Lord; but without the karma of good actions, how can anyone obtain it? ||3||
354
:
362
As many living beings are there are, they are all Yours. Without selfless service, no one obtains any reward.
354
:
363
Pain and pleasure come by Your Will; without the Name, the soul does not even exist. ||4||
354
:
364
To die in the Teachings is to live. Otherwise, what is life? That is not the way.
