The One Lord alone is our help and support; neither physician nor friend, nor sister nor brother can be this. ||1||

1008 : 757
His actions alone come to pass; He washes off the filth of sins. Meditate in remembrance on that Supreme Lord. ||2||

1008 : 758
He abides in each and every heart, and dwells in all; His seat and place are eternal. ||3||

1008 : 759
He does not come or go, and He is always with us. His actions are perfect. ||4||

1008 : 760
He is the Savior and the Protector of His devotees.

1008 : 761
The Saints live by meditating on God, the support of the breath of life.

The Name of the Lord is forever the Giver of peace.

Meditating in remembrance on it, Ajaamal was saved, and Ganika the prostitute was emancipated. ||1||Pause||

1008 : 767
Dropadi the princess of Panchaala remembered the Lord's Name in the royal court.

1008 : 768
The Lord, the embodiment of mercy, removed her suffering; thus His own glory was increased. ||1||

1008 : 769
That man, who sings the Praise of the Lord, the treasure of mercy, has the help and support of the Lord.

1008 : 770
Says Nanak, I have come to rely on this. I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||2||1||

Maaroo, Ninth Mehl:

1008 : 772
What should I do now, O mother?

1008 : 773
I have wasted my whole life in sin and corruption; I never remembered the Lord. ||1||Pause||

When Death places the noose around my neck, then I lose all my senses.

Now, in this disaster, other than the Name of the Lord, who will be my help and support? ||1||

1008 : 776
That wealth, which he believes to be his own, in an instant, belongs to another.

1008 : 777
Says Nanak, this still really bothers my mind - I never sang the Praises of the Lord. ||2||2||

1008 : 778
Maaroo, Ninth Mehl:

1008 : 779
O my mother, I have not renounced the pride of my mind.

1008 : 780
I have wasted my life intoxicated with Maya; I have not focused myself in meditation on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

1008 : 781
When Death's club falls on my head, then I will be wakened from my sleep.

1008 : 782
But what good will it do to repent at that time? I cannot escape by running away. ||1||

1008 : 783
When this anxiety arises in the heart, then, one comes to love the Guru's feet.

1008 : 784
My life becomes fruitful, O Nanak, only when I am absorbed in the Praises of God. ||2||3||

Reciting and listening to the Vedas and the Puraanas, countless wise men have grown weary.

1008 : 788
So many in their various religious robes have grown weary, wandering to the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

You are eternal; You do not grow old. All others pass away.

One who lovingly focuses on the Naam, the source of nectar - his pains are taken away. ||1||Pause||
