Todee, Fifth Mehl:

718 : 244
I have enshrined the Lord's Feet within my heart.

718 : 245
Contemplating my Lord and Master, my True Guru, all my affairs have been resolved. ||1||Pause||

718 : 246
The merits of giving donations to charity and devotional worship come from the Kirtan of the Praises of the Transcendent Lord; this is the true essence of wisdom.

718 : 247
Singing the Praises of the unapproachable, infinite Lord and Master, I have found immeasurable peace. ||1||

718 : 248
The Supreme Lord God does not consider the merits and demerits of those humble beings whom He makes His own.

718 : 249

Todee, Ninth Mehl:

718 : 251
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

718 : 252
What can I say about my base nature?

718 : 253
I am entangled in the love of gold and women, and I have not sung the Kirtan of God's Praises. ||1||Pause||

718 : 254
I judge the false world to be true, and I have fallen in love with it.

718 : 255
I have never contemplated the friend of the poor, who shall be my companion and helper in the end. ||1||

718 : 256
I remain intoxicated by Maya, night and day, and the filth of my mind will not depart.

718 : 257
Says Nanak, now, without the Lord's Sanctuary, I cannot find salvation in any other way. ||2||1||31||

718 : 258
Todee, The Word Of The Devotees:

718 : 259
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

718 : 260
Some say that He is near, and others say that He is far away.

718 : 261
We might just as well say that the fish climbs out of the water, up the tree. ||1||

Why do you speak such nonsense?

718 : 263
One who has found the Lord, keeps quiet about it. ||1||Pause||

718 : 264
Those who become Pandits, religious scholars, recite the Vedas,

718 : 265
but foolish Naam Dayv knows only the Lord. ||2||1||

718 : 266
Whose blemishes remain, when one chants the Lord's Name?

718 : 267
Sinners become pure, chanting the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

718 : 268
With the Lord, servant Naam Dayv has come to have faith.

718 : 269
I have stopped fasting on the eleventh day of each month; why should I bother to go on pilgrimages to sacred shrines? ||1||

718 : 270
Prays Naam Dayv, I have become a man of good deeds and good thoughts.

718 : 271
Chanting the Lord's Name, under Guru's Instructions, who has not gone to heaven? ||2||2||

718 : 272
Here is a verse with a three-fold play on words. ||1||Pause||

718 : 273
In the potter's home there are pots, and in the king's home there are camels.

718 : 274
In the Brahmin's home there are widows. So here they are: haandee, saandee, raandee. ||1||

718 : 275
In the home of the grocer there is asafoetida; on the forehead of the buffalo there are horns.

718 : 276
In the temple of Shiva there are lingams. So here they are: heeng, seeng, leeng. ||2||

718 : 277
In the house of the oil-presser there is oil; in the forest there are vines.

718 : 278
In the gardener's home there are bananas. So here they are: tayl, bayl, kayl. ||3||

718 : 279
The Lord of the Universe, Govind, is within His Saints; Krishna, Shyaam, is in Gokal.

718 : 280
