Raag Aasaa - Part 058

404 : 2655
O Saints, my friends and companions, without the Lord, Har, Har, you shall perish.

404 : 2656
Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and win this precious treasure of human life. ||1||Pause||

404 : 2657
God has created Maya of the three qualities; tell me, how can it be crossed over?

404 : 2658
The whirlpool is awesome and unfathomable; only through the Word of the Guru's Shabad is one carried across. ||2||

404 : 2659
Searching and searching endlessly, seeking and deliberating, Nanak has realized the true essence of reality.

404 : 2660
Meditating on the invaluable treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the jewel of the mind is satisfied. ||3||1||130||

404 : 2661
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Dupadas:

404 : 2662
By Guru's Grace, He dwells within my mind; whatever I ask for, I receive.

404 : 2663
This mind is satisfied with the Love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; it does not go out, anywhere, anymore. ||1||

404 : 2664
My Lord and Master is the highest of all; night and day, I sing the Glories of His Praises.

404 : 2665
In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; through Him, I frighten you. ||1||Pause||

404 : 2666
When I behold my God, my Lord and Master, I do not pay any attention to any other.

404 : 2667
God Himself has adorned servant Nanak; his doubts and fears have been dispelled, and he writes the account of the Lord. ||2||2||131||

404 : 2668
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

404 : 2669
The four castes and social classes, and the preachers with the six Shaastras on their finger-tips,

404 : 2670
the beautiful, the refined, the shapely and the wise - the five passions have enticed and beguiled them all. ||1||

404 : 2671
Who has seized and conquered the five powerful fighters? Is there anyone strong enough?

Continued...

404 : 2672
He alone, who conquers and defeats the five demons, is perfect in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||1||Pause||

404 : 2673
They are so awesome and great; they cannot be controlled, and they do not run away. Their army is mighty and unyielding.

404 : 2674
Says Nanak, that humble being who is under the protection of the Saadh Sangat, crushes those terrible demons. ||2||3||132||

404 : 2675
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

404 : 2676
The Sublime Sermon of the Lord is the best thing for the soul. All other tastes are insipid. ||1||Pause||

404 : 2677
The worthy beings, heavenly singers, silent sages and the knowers of the six Shaastras proclaim that nothing else is worthy of consideration. ||1||

404 : 2678
It is the cure for evil passions, unique, unequalled and peace-giving; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Nanak, drink it in. ||2||4||133||

404 : 2679
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

404 : 2680
My Beloved has brought forth a river of nectar. The Guru has not held it back from my mind, even for an instant. ||1||Pause||

404 : 2681
Beholding it, and touching it, I am sweetened and delighted. It is imbued with the Creator's Love. ||1||

404 : 2682
Chanting it even for a moment, I rise to the Guru; meditating on it, one is not trapped by the Messenger of Death. The Lord has placed it as a garland around Nanak's neck, and within his heart. ||2||5||134||

404 : 2683
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

404 : 2684
The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is exalted and sublime. ||Pause||

404 : 2685
Every day, hour and moment, I continually sing and speak of Govind, Govind, the Lord of the Universe. ||1||

404 : 2686
Walking, sitting and sleeping, I chant the Lord's Praises; I treasure His Feet in my mind and body. ||2||

404 : 2687
I am so small, and You are so great, O Lord and Master; Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. ||3||6||135||
