Some come, and after they come, they go.

353 : 282
Some are imbued with the Lord; they remain absorbed in Him.

353 : 283
Some find no place of rest at all, on the earth or in the sky.

I speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord, contemplating the Guru's Teachings.

353 : 294
I join the Sangat, the Guru's Congregation, and I find God's limits. ||3||

353 : 295
The Shaastras, the Vedas, the Simritees and all their many secrets;

353 : 296
bathing at the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage - all this is found by enshrining the sublime essence of the Lord in the heart.

Aasaa, First Mehl:

353 : 300
Bowing down, again and again, I fall at the Feet of my Guru; through Him, I have seen the Lord, the Divine Self, within.

353 : 301
Through contemplation and meditation, the Lord dwells within the heart; see this, and understand. ||1||

By Guru's Grace, the jewel of the Lord is found; ignorance is dispelled, and the Divine Light shines forth. ||1||Pause||

353 : 304
By merely saying it with the tongue, one's bonds are not broken, and egotism and doubt do not depart from within.

But when one meets the True Guru, egotism departs, and then, one realizes his destiny. ||2||

353 : 306
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is sweet and dear to His devotees; it is the ocean of peace - enshrine it within the heart.

One who dies fighting against his own stubborn mind finds God, and the desires of the mind are quieted.

353 : 309
O Nanak, if the Life of the World bestows His Mercy, one is intuitively attuned to the Love of the Lord. ||4||16||

353 : 310
Aasaa, First Mehl:

353 : 311
Unto whom do they speak? Unto whom do they preach? Who understands? Let them understand themselves.

353 : 312
Who do they teach? Through study, they come to realize the Lord's Glorious Virtues. Through the Shabad, the Word of the True Guru, they come to dwell in contentment. ||1||
