Reflecting upon my self, and conquering my mind, I have seen that there is no other friend like You.

356 : 419
As You keep me, so do I live. You are the Giver of peace and pleasure. Whatever You do, comes to pass. ||3||

356 : 420
Hope and desire have both been dispelled; I have renounced my longing for the three qualities.

356 : 421
The Gurmukh obtains the state of ecstasy, taking to the Shelter of the Saints' Congregation. ||4||

356 : 422

356 : 423
O Nanak, one whose mind is imbued with the Lord's Name, finds the Guru's Teachings, and intuitively serves. ||5||22||

Aasaa, First Mehl, Panch-Padas:

356 : 425
Your attachment to your family, your attachment to all your affairs

356 : 426
- renounce all your attachments, for they are all corrupt. ||1||

356 : 427
Renounce your attachments and doubts, O brother,

356 : 428
and dwell upon the True Name within your heart and body. ||1||Pause||

356 : 429
When one receives the nine treasures of the True Name,

356 : 430
his children do not weep, and his mother does not grieve. ||2||

356 : 431
In this attachment, the world is drowning.

356 : 432
Few are the Gurmukhs who swim across. ||3||

356 : 433
In this attachment, people are reincarnated over and over again.

356 : 434
Attached to emotional attachment, they go to the city of Death. ||4||

356 : 435
You have received the Guru's Teachings - now practice meditation and penance.

356 : 436
If attachment is not broken, no one is approved. ||5||

356 : 437
But if He bestows His Glance of Grace, then this attachment departs.

356 : 438
O Nanak, then one remains merged in the Lord. ||6||23||

356 : 439
Aasaa, First Mehl:

356 : 440
He Himself does everything, the True, Invisible, Infinite Lord.

356 : 441
I am a sinner, You are the Forgiver. ||1||

356 : 442
By Your Will, everything come to pass.

356 : 443
One who acts in stubborn-mindedness is ruined in the end. ||1||Pause||

356 : 444
The intellect of the self-willed manmukh is engrossed in falsehood.

356 : 445
Without the meditative remembrance of the Lord, it suffers in sin. ||2||

356 : 446
Renounce evil-mindedness, and you shall reap the rewards.

356 : 447
Whoever is born, comes through the Unknowable and Mysterious Lord. ||3||

356 : 448
Such is my Friend and Companion;

356 : 449
meeting with the Guru, the Lord, devotion was implanted within me. ||4||

356 : 450
In all other transactions, one suffers loss.

356 : 451
The Name of the Lord is pleasing to Nanak's mind. ||5||24||

Aasaa, First Mehl, Chau-Padas:

356 : 453
Contemplate and reflect upon knowledge, and you will become a benefactor to others.

356 : 454
When you conquer the five passions, then you shall come to dwell at the sacred shrine of pilgrimage. ||1||

356 : 455

So what can the Messenger of Death do to me hereafter? ||1||Pause||

356 : 459
Through compassion, the naked hermit reflects upon his inner self.

356 : 460
He slays his own self, instead of slaying others. ||3||

356 : 461
You, O Lord, are the One, but You have so many Forms.

356 : 462
Nanak does not know Your wondrous plays. ||4||25||

356 : 463
Aasaa, First Mehl:

356 : 464
I am not stained by only one sin, that could be washed clean by virtue.

356 : 465
My Husband Lord is awake, while I sleep through the entire night of my life. ||1||

356 : 466
In this way, how can I become dear to my Husband Lord?

356 : 467
My Husband Lord remains awake, while I sleep through the entire night of my life. ||1||Pause||
