Aasaa, First Mehl:

422 : 3543
How can coming and going, the cycle of reincarnation be ended? And how can one meet the Lord?

422 : 3544
The pain of birth and death is so great, in constant skepticism and duality. ||1||

422 : 3545
Without the Name, what is life? Cleverness is detestable and cursed.

422 : 3546
One who does not serve the Holy True Guru, is not pleased by devotion to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

422 : 3547
Coming and going is ended only when one finds the True Guru.

He gives the wealth and capital of the Lord's Name, and false doubt is destroyed. ||2||

The Primal Lord, the Infinite, is obtained by the Gurmukh. ||3||

422 : 3551
The drama of the world is staged like the show of a buffoon.

422 : 3552
For an instant, for a moment, the show is seen, but it disappears in no time at all. ||4||

422 : 3553
The game of chance is played on the board of egotism, with the pieces of falsehood and ego.

422 : 3554
The whole world loses; he alone wins, who reflects upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||5||

422 : 3555
As is the cane in the hand of the blind man, so is the Lord's Name for me.

422 : 3556
The Lord's Name is my Support, night and day and morning. ||6||

422 : 3557
As You keep me, Lord, I live; the Lord's Name is my only Support.

422 : 3558
It is my only comfort in the end; the gate of salvation is found by His humble servants. ||7||

422 : 3559
The pain of birth and death is removed, by chanting and meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

422 : 3560
O Nanak, one who does not forget the Naam, is saved by the Perfect Guru. ||8||22||

422 : 3561
Aasaa, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees, Second House:

422 : 3562
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

422 : 3563
The Shaastras, the Vedas and the Simritees are contained in the ocean of Your Name; the River Ganges is held in Your Feet.

422 : 3564
The intellect can understand the world of the three modes, but You, O Primal Lord, are totally astounding. ||1||

Servant Nanak meditates on His Feet, and chants the Ambrosial Word of His Bani. ||1||Pause||

422 : 3566
Three hundred thirty million gods are Your servants. You bestow wealth, and the supernatural powers of the Siddhas; You are the Support of the breath of life.
