Swaiyas From The Mouth Of The Great Fifth Mehl - Part 022

1406 : 650
So speaks KEERAT the poet: those who grasp hold of the feet of the Saints, are not afraid of death, sexual desire or anger.

1406 : 651
Just as Guru Nanak was part and parcel, life and limb with Guru Angad, so is Guru Amar Daas one with Guru Raam Daas. ||1||

1406 : 652
Whoever serves the True Guru obtains the treasure; night and day, he dwells at the Lord's Feet.

1406 : 653
And so, the entire Sangat loves, fears and respects You. You are the sandalwood tree; Your fragrance spreads gloriously far and wide.

1406 : 654
Dhroo, Prahlaad, Kabeer and Trilochan chanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and His Illumination radiantly shines forth.

1406 : 655
Seeing Him, the mind is totally delighted; Guru Raam Daas is the Helper and Support of the Saints. ||2||

1406 : 656
Guru Nanak realized the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. He was lovingly attuned to loving devotional worship of the Lord.

1406 : 657
Gur Angad was with Him, life and limb, like the ocean; He showered His consciousness with the Word of the Shabad.

1406 : 658
The Unspoken Speech of Guru Amar Daas cannot be expressed with only one tongue.

1406 : 659
Guru Raam Daas of the Sodhi dynasty has now been blessed with Glorious Greatness, to carry the whole world across. ||3||

1406 : 660
I am overflowing with sins and demerits; I have no merits or virtues at all. I abandoned the Ambrosial Nectar, and I drank poison instead.

1406 : 661
I am attached to Maya, and deluded by doubt; I have fallen in love with my children and spouse.

1406 : 662
I have heard that the most exalted Path of all is the Sangat, the Guru's Congregation. Joining it, the fear of death is taken away.

1406 : 663
KEERAT the poet offers this one prayer: O Guru Raam Daas, save me! Take me into Your Sanctuary! ||4||58||

1406 : 664
He has crushed and overpowered emotional attachment. He seized sexual desire by the hair, and threw it down.

1406 : 665
With His Power, He cut anger into pieces, and sent greed away in disgrace.

Continued...

1406 : 666
Life and death, with palms pressed together, respect and obey the Hukam of His Command.

1406 : 667
He brought the terrifying world-ocean under His Control; by His Pleasure, He carried His Sikhs across.

1406 : 668
He is seated upon the Throne of Truth, with the canopy above His Head; He is embellished with the powers of Yoga and the enjoyment of pleasures.

1406 : 669
So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, Your sovereign power is eternal and unbreakable; Your army is invincible. ||1||

1406 : 670
You are the True Guru, throughout the four ages; You Yourself are the Transcendent Lord.

1406 : 671
The angelic beings, seekers, Siddhas and Sikhs have served You, since the very beginning of time.

1406 : 672
You are the Primal Lord God, from the very beginning, and throughout the ages; Your Power supports the three worlds.

1406 : 673
You are Inaccessible; You are the Saving Grace of the Vedas. You have conquered old age and death.

1406 : 674
Guru Amar Daas has permanently established You; You are the Emancipator, to carry all across to the other side.

1406 : 675
So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, You are the Destroyer of sins; I seek Your Sanctuary. ||2||60||

1406 : 676
Swaiyas In Praise Of The Fifth Mehl:

1406 : 677
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1406 : 678
Meditate in remembrance on the Primal Lord God, Eternal and Imperishable.

1406 : 679
Remembering Him in meditation, the filth of evil-mindedness is eradicated.

1406 : 680
I enshrine the Lotus Feet of the True Guru within my heart.
