Raag Aasaa - Part 042

388 : 1887
Day and night, I chant Your Name. ||1||

388 : 1888
I am worthless; I have no virtue at all.

388 : 1889
God is the Creator, the Cause of all causes. ||1||Pause||

388 : 1890
I am foolish, stupid, ignorant and thoughtless;

388 : 1891
Your Name is my mind's only hope. ||2||

388 : 1892
I have not practiced chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline or good actions;

388 : 1893
but within my mind, I have worshipped God's Name. ||3||

388 : 1894
I know nothing, and my intellect is inadequate.

388 : 1895
Prays Nanak, O God, You are my only Support. ||4||18||69||

388 : 1896
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

388 : 1897
These two words, Har, Har, make up my maalaa.

388 : 1898
Continually chanting and reciting this rosary, God has become merciful to me, His humble servant. ||1||

388 : 1899
I offer my prayer to the True Guru.

388 : 1900
Shower Your Mercy upon me, and keep me safe in Your Sanctuary; please, give me the maalaa, the rosary of Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

388 : 1901
One who enshrines this rosary of the Lord's Name within his heart,

388 : 1902
is freed of the pains of birth and death. ||2||

388 : 1903
The humble being who contemplates the Lord within his heart, and chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, with his mouth,

388 : 1904
never wavers, here or hereafter. ||3||

388 : 1905
Says Nanak, one who is imbued with the Name,

388 : 1906
goes to the next world with the maalaa of the Lord's Name. ||4||19||70||

388 : 1907
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

388 : 1908
All things belong to Him - let yourself belong to Him as well.

388 : 1909
No stain clings to such a humble being. ||1||

388 : 1910
The Lord's servant is liberated forever.

388 : 1911
Whatever He does, is pleasing to His servant; the way of life of His slave is immaculately pure. ||1||Pause||

388 : 1912
One who renounces everything, and enters the Lord's Sanctuary

388 : 1913
- how can Maya cling to him? ||2||

Continued...

388 : 1914
With the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in his mind,

388 : 1915
he suffers no anxiety, even in dreams. ||3||

388 : 1916
Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru.

388 : 1917
My doubts and attachments have been totally obliterated. ||4||20||71||

388 : 1918
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

388 : 1919
When my God is totally pleased with me,

388 : 1920
then, tell me, how can suffering or doubt draw near me? ||1||

388 : 1921
Continually listening to Your Glory, I live.

388 : 1922
I am worthless - save me, O Lord! ||1||Pause||

388 : 1923
My suffering has been ended, and my anxiety is forgotten.

388 : 1924
I have obtained my reward, chanting the Mantra of the True Guru. ||2||

388 : 1925
He is True, and True is His glory.

388 : 1926
Remembering, remembering Him in meditation, keep Him clasped to your heart. ||3||

388 : 1927
Says Nanak, what action is there left to do,

388 : 1928
by one whose mind is filled with the Lord's Name? ||4||21||72||

388 : 1929
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

388 : 1930
Sexual desire, anger, and egotism lead to ruin.

388 : 1931
Meditating on the Lord, the Lord's humble servants are redeemed. ||1||

388 : 1932
The mortals are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya.

388 : 1933
The devotees remain awake, imbued with the Lord's meditation. ||1||Pause||

388 : 1934
In emotional attachment and doubt, the mortals wander through countless incarnations.

388 : 1935
The devotees remain ever-stable, meditating on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||

388 : 1936
Bound to household and possessions, the mortals are lost in the deep, dark pit.

388 : 1937
The Saints are liberated, knowing the Lord to be near at hand. ||3||

388 : 1938
Says Nanak, one who has taken to God's Sanctuary,

388 : 1939
obtains peace in this world, and salvation in the world hereafter. ||4||22||73||
