Raag Aasaa - Part 008

354 : 313
Through the Guru's Teachings, realize that He is pervading in all bodies;

354 : 314
O my soul, vibrate on the Profound, Unfathomable Lord. ||1||Pause||

354 : 315
Loving devotion to the Lord brings endless waves of joy and delight.

354 : 316
One who dwells with the Glorious Praises of the Lord, night and day, is sanctified.

354 : 317
The birth into the world of the faithless cynic is totally useless.

354 : 318
The humble devotee of the Lord remains unattached. ||2||

354 : 319
The body which sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord is sanctified.

354 : 320
The soul remains conscious of the Lord, absorbed in His Love.

354 : 321
The Lord is the Infinite Primal Being, beyond the beyond, the priceless jewel.

354 : 322
My mind is totally content, imbued with my Beloved. ||3||

354 : 323
Those who speak and babble on and on, are truly dead.

354 : 324
God is not far away - O God, You are right here.

354 : 325
I have seen that the whole world is engrossed in Maya.

354 : 326
O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||17||

354 : 327
Aasaa, First Mehl, Ti-Tukas:

354 : 328
One is a beggar, living on charity;

354 : 329
another is a king, absorbed in himself.

354 : 330
One receives honor, and another dishonor.

354 : 331
The Lord destroys and creates; He is enshrined in His meditation.

354 : 332
There is no other as great as You.

354 : 333
So whom should I present to You? Who is good enough? ||1||

354 : 334
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my only Support.

354 : 335
You are the Great Giver, the Doer, the Creator. ||1||Pause||

354 : 336
I have not walked on Your Path; I have followed the crooked path.

354 : 337
In the Court of the Lord, I find no place to sit.

354 : 338
I am mentally blind, in the bondage of Maya.

Continued...

354 : 339
The wall of my body is breaking down, wearing away, growing weaker.

354 : 340
You have such high hopes of eating and living

354 : 341
- your breaths and morsels of food are already counted! ||2||

354 : 342
Night and day they are blind - please, bless them with Your Light.

354 : 343
They are drowning in the terrifying world-ocean, crying out in pain.

354 : 344
I am a sacrifice to those who chant, hear and believe in the Name.

354 : 345
Nanak utters this one prayer;

354 : 346
soul and body, all belong to You, Lord. ||3||

354 : 347
When You bless me, I chant Your Name.

354 : 348
Thus I find my seat in the Court of the Lord.

354 : 349
When it pleases You, evil-mindedness departs,

354 : 350
and the jewel of spiritual wisdom comes to dwell in the mind.

354 : 351
When the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then one comes to meet the True Guru.

354 : 352
Prays Nanak, carry us across the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||18||

354 : 353
Aasaa, First Mehl, Panch-Padas:

354 : 354
A cow without milk; a bird without wings; a garden without water - totally useless!

354 : 355
What is an emperor, without respect? The chamber of the soul is so dark, without the Name of the Lord. ||1||

354 : 356
How could I ever forget You? It would be so painful!

354 : 357
I would suffer such pain - no, I shall not forget You! ||1||Pause||

354 : 358
The eyes grow blind, the tongue does not taste, and the ears do not hear any sound.

354 : 359
He walks on his feet only when supported by someone else; without serving the Lord, such are the fruits of life. ||2||

354 : 360
The Word is the tree; the garden of the heart is the farm; tend it, and irrigate it with the Lord's Love.

354 : 361
All these trees bear the fruit of the Name of the One Lord; but without the karma of good actions, how can anyone obtain it? ||3||

354 : 362
As many living beings are there are, they are all Yours. Without selfless service, no one obtains any reward.

354 : 363
Pain and pleasure come by Your Will; without the Name, the soul does not even exist. ||4||

354 : 364
To die in the Teachings is to live. Otherwise, what is life? That is not the way.
