377 : 1410
The Perfect Guru has fashioned His perfect fashion.

377 : 1411
O Nanak, the Lord's devotees are blessed with glorious greatness. ||4||24||

377 : 1412
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

377 : 1413
I have shaped this mind in the mold of the Guru's Word.

377 : 1414
Beholding the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan, I have gathered the wealth of the Lord. ||1||

377 : 1415
O sublime understanding, come, enter into my mind,

377 : 1416
that I may meditate and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and love so dearly the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

377 : 1417
I am satisfied and satiated by the True Name.

377 : 1418
My cleansing bath at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage is the dust of the Saints. ||2||

377 : 1419
I recognize that the One Creator is contained in all.

377 : 1420
Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, my understanding is refined. ||3||

377 : 1421
I have become the servant of all; I have renounced my ego and pride.

377 : 1422
The Guru has given this gift to Nanak. ||4||25||

377 : 1423
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

377 : 1424
My intellect has been enlightened, and my understanding is perfect.

377 : 1425
Thus my evil-mindedness, which kept me far from Him, has been removed. ||1||

377 : 1426
Such are the Teachings which I have received from the Guru;

377 : 1427
while I was drowning in the pitch black well, I was saved, O my Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

377 : 1428
The Guru is the boat to cross over the totally unfathomable ocean of fire; He is treasure of jewels. ||2||

377 : 1429
This ocean of Maya is dark and treacherous.

377 : 1430
The Perfect Guru has revealed the way to cross over it. ||3||

377 : 1431
I do not have the ability to chant or practice intense meditation.

377 : 1432
Guru Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. ||4||26||

377 : 1433
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Ti-Padas:

Continued...

377 : 1434
One who drinks in the Lord's sublime essence is forever imbued with it,

377 : 1435
while other essences wear off in an instant.

377 : 1436
Intoxicated with the Lord's sublime essence, the mind is forever in ecstasy.

377 : 1437
Other essences bring only anxiety. ||1||

377 : 1438
One who drinks in the Lord's sublime essence, is intoxicated and enraptured;

377 : 1439
all other essences have no effect. ||1||Pause||

377 : 1440
The value of the Lord's sublime essence cannot be described.

377 : 1441
The Lord's sublime essence permeates the homes of the Holy.

377 : 1442
One may spend thousands and millions, but it cannot be purchased.

377 : 1443
He alone obtains it, who is so pre-ordained. ||2||

377 : 1444
Tasting it, Nanak is wonder-struck.

377 : 1445
Through the Guru, Nanak has obtained this taste.

377 : 1446
Here and hereafter, it does not leave him.

377 : 1447
Nanak is imbued and enraptured with the Lord's subtle essence. ||3||27||

377 : 1448
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

377 : 1449
If she renounces and eliminates her sexual desire, anger, greed and attachment, and her evil-mindedness and self-conceit as well;

377 : 1450
and if, becoming humble, she serves Him, then she becomes dear to her Beloved's Heart. ||1||

377 : 1451
Listen, O beautiful soul-bride: By the Word of the Holy Saint, you shall be saved.

377 : 1452
Your pain, hunger and doubt shall vanish, and you shall obtain peace, O happy soul-bride. ||1||Pause||

377 : 1453
Washing the Guru's feet, and serving Him, the soul is sanctified, and the thirst for sin is quenched.

377 : 1454
If you become the slave of the slave of the Lord's slaves, then you shall obtain honor in the Court of the Lord. ||2||

377 : 1455
This is right conduct, and this is the correct lifestyle, to obey the Command of the Lord's Will; this is your devotional worship.

377 : 1456
One who practices this Mantra, O Nanak, swims across the terrifying world-ocean. ||3||28||
