Is there any such Saint, who would meet with me, take away my anxiety, and lead me to enshrine love for my Lord and Master. ||2||

687 : 1081
I have read all the Vedas, and yet the sense of separation in my mind still has not been removed; the five thieves of my house are not quieted, even for an instant.

687 : 1082
Is there any devotee, who is unattached to Maya, who may irrigate my mind with the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the One Lord? ||3||

687 : 1083
In spite of the many places of pilgrimage for people to bathe in, their minds are still stained by their stubborn ego; the Lord Master is not pleased by this at all.

687 : 1084
When will I find the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy? There, I shall be always in the ecstasy of the Lord, Har, Har, and my mind shall take its cleansing bath in the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom. ||4||

687 : 1085
I have followed the four stages of life, but my mind is not satisfied; I wash my body, but it is totally lacking in understanding.

687 : 1086
If only I could meet some devotee of the Supreme Lord God, imbued with the Lord's Love, who could eradicate the filthy evil-mindedness from my mind. ||5||

687 : 1087
One who is attached to religious rituals, does not love the Lord, even for an instant; he is filled with pride, and he is of no account.

687 : 1088
One who meets with the rewarding personality of the Guru, continually sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. By Guru's Grace, such a rare one beholds the Lord with his eyes. ||6||

687 : 1089
One who acts through stubbornness is of no account at all; like a crane, he pretends to meditate, but he is still stuck in Maya.

687 : 1090
Is there any such Giver of peace, who can recite to me the sermon of God? Meeting him, I would be emancipated. ||7||

687 : 1091
When the Lord, my King, is totally pleased with me, He will break the bonds of Maya for me; my mind is imbued with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

687 : 1092
I am in ecstasy, forever and ever, meeting the Fearless Lord, the Lord of the Universe. Falling at the Lord's Feet, Nanak has found peace. ||8||

687 : 1093
My Yatra, my life pilgrimage, has become fruitful, fruitful, fruitful.

687 : 1094
My comings and goings have ended, since I met the Holy Saint. ||1||Second Pause||1||3||

Dhanaasaree, First Mehl, Chhant:

687 : 1096
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

687 : 1097
Why should I bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage? The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage.

687 : 1098
My sacred shrine of pilgrimage is spiritual wisdom within, and contemplation on the Word of the Shabad.

687 : 1099
The spiritual wisdom given by the Guru is the True sacred shrine of pilgrimage, where the ten festivals are always observed.

687 : 1100
I constantly beg for the Name of the Lord; grant it to me, O God, Sustainer of the world.

687 : 1101
The world is sick, and the Naam is the medicine to cure it; without the True Lord, filth sticks to it.

687 : 1102
The Guru's Word is immaculate and pure; it radiates a steady Light. Constantly bathe in such a true shrine of pilgrimage. ||1||

687 : 1103
Filth does not stick to the true ones; what filth do they have to wash off?

687 : 1104
If one strings a garland of virtues for oneself, what is there to cry for?

687 : 1105
One who conquers his own self through contemplation is saved, and saves others as well; he does not come to be born again.

687 : 1106
The supreme meditator is Himself the philosopher's stone, which transforms lead into gold. The true man is pleasing to the True Lord.

687 : 1107
He is in ecstasy, truly happy, night and day; his sorrows and sins are taken away.

687 : 1108
He finds the True Name, and beholds the Guru; with the True Name in his mind, no filth sticks to him. ||2||

687 : 1109
O friend, association with the Holy is the perfect cleansing bath.
