661 : 28
As long as we are in this world, O Nanak, we should listen, and speak of the Lord.

661 : 29
I have searched, but I have found no way to remain here; so, remain dead while yet alive. ||5||2||

661 : 30
Dhanaasaree, First Mehl, Second House:

661 : 31
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

661 : 32
How can I remember the Lord in meditation? I cannot meditate on Him in remembrance.

661 : 33
My heart is burning, and my soul is crying out in pain.

661 : 34
The True Lord creates and adorns.

661 : 35
Forgetting Him, how can one be good? ||1||

661 : 36
By clever tricks and commands, He cannot be found.

661 : 37
How am I to meet my True Lord, O my mother? ||1||Pause||

661 : 38
How rare is the one who goes out, and searches for the merchandise of the Naam.

661 : 39
No one tastes it, and no one eats it.

661 : 40
Honor is not obtained by trying to please other people.

661 : 41
One's honor is preserved, only if the Lord preserves it. ||2||

661 : 42
Wherever I look, there I see Him, pervading and permeating.

661 : 43
Without You, I have no other place of rest.

661 : 44
He may try, but what can anyone do by his own doing?

661 : 45
He alone is blessed, whom the True Lord forgives. ||3||

661 : 46
Now, I shall have to get up and depart, in an instant, in the clapping of hands.

661 : 47
What face will I show the Lord? I have no virtue at all.

661 : 48
As is the Lord's Glance of Grace, so it is.

661 : 49
Without His Glance of Grace, O Nanak, no one is blessed. ||4||1||3||

661 : 50
Dhanaasaree, First Mehl:

661 : 51
If the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then one remembers Him in meditation.

661 : 52
The soul is softened, and he remains absorbed in the Lord's Love.

661 : 53
His soul and the Supreme Soul become one.

661 : 54
The duality of the inner mind is overcome. ||1||

Continued...

661 : 55
By Guru's Grace, God is found.

661 : 56
One's consciousness is attached to the Lord, and so Death does not devour him. ||1||Pause||

661 : 57
Remembering the True Lord in meditation, one is enlightened.

661 : 58
Then, in the midst of Maya, he remains detached.

661 : 59
Such is the Glory of the True Guru;

661 : 60
in the midst of children and spouses, they attain emancipation. ||2||

661 : 61
Such is the service which the Lord's servant performs,

661 : 62
that he dedicates his soul to the Lord, to whom it belongs.

661 : 63
One who is pleasing to the Lord and Master is acceptable.

661 : 64
Such a servant obtains honor in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

661 : 65
He enshrines the image of the True Guru in his heart.

661 : 66
He obtains the rewards which he desires.

661 : 67
The True Lord and Master grants His Grace;

661 : 68
how can such a servant be afraid of death? ||4||

661 : 69
Prays Nanak, practice contemplation,

661 : 70
and enshrine love for the True Word of His Bani.

661 : 71
Then, you shall find the Gate of Salvation.

661 : 72
This Shabad is the most excellent of all chanting and austere meditations. ||5||2||4||

661 : 73
Dhanaasaree, First Mehl:

661 : 74
My soul burns, over and over again.

661 : 75
Burning and burning, it is ruined, and it falls into evil.

661 : 76
That body, which forgets the Word of the Guru's Bani,

661 : 77
cries out in pain, like a chronic patient. ||1||

661 : 78
To speak too much and babble is useless.

661 : 79
Even without our speaking, He knows everything. ||1||Pause||

661 : 80
He created our ears, eyes and nose.

661 : 81
He gave us our tongue to speak so fluently.
