The True Guru is the Ocean of Virtue of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I have such a yearning to see Him!

759 : 1271
Without Him, I cannot live, even for an instant. If I do not see Him, I die. ||6||

759 : 1272
As the fish cannot survive at all without water,

759 : 1273
the Saint cannot live without the Lord. Without the Lord's Name, he dies. ||7||

759 : 1274
I am so much in love with my True Guru! How could I even live without the Guru, O my mother?

759 : 1275
I have the Support of the Word of the Guru's Bani. Attached to Gurbani, I survive. ||8||

759 : 1276
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is a jewel; by the Pleasure of His Will, the Guru has given it, O my mother.

759 : 1277
The True Name is my only Support. I remain lovingly absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||9||

759 : 1278
The wisdom of the Guru is the treasure of the Naam. The Guru implants and enshrines the Lord's Name.

759 : 1279
He alone receives it, he alone gets it, who comes and falls at the Guru's Feet. ||10||

759 : 1280
If only someone would come and tell me the Unspoken Speech of the Love of my Beloved.

759 : 1281
I would dedicate my mind to him; I would bow down in humble respect, and fall at his feet. ||11||

759 : 1282
You are my only Friend, O my All-knowing, All-powerful Creator Lord.

759 : 1283
You have brought me to meet with my True Guru. Forever and ever, You are my only strength. ||12||

759 : 1284
My True Guru, forever and ever, does not come and go.

759 : 1285
He is the Imperishable Creator Lord; He is permeating and pervading among all. ||13||

759 : 1286
I have gathered in the wealth of the Lord's Name. My facilities and faculties are intact, safe and sound.

759 : 1287
O Nanak, I am approved and respected in the Court of the Lord; the Perfect Guru has blessed me! ||14||1||2||11||

He is entangled in sinful associations;

759 : 1291
his mind is troubled by so very many waves. ||1||

759 : 1292
O my mind, how can the Unapproachable and Incomprehensible Lord be found? He is the Perfect Transcendent Lord. ||1||Pause||

759 : 1293
He remains entangled in the intoxication of worldly love.

759 : 1294
His excessive thirst is never quenched. ||2||

759 : 1295
Anger is the outcaste which hides within his body;

759 : 1296
he is in the utter darkness of ignorance, and he does not understand. ||3||

759 : 1297
Afflicted by doubt, the shutters are shut tight;

759 : 1298
he cannot go to God's Court. ||4||

759 : 1299
The mortal is bound and gagged by hope and fear;

759 : 1300
he cannot find the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and so he wanders around like a stranger. ||5||

759 : 1301
He falls under the power of all negative influences;

759 : 1302
he wanders around thirsty like a fish out of water. ||6||

759 : 1303
I have no clever tricks or techniques;

759 : 1304
You are my only hope, O my Lord God Master. ||7||

759 : 1305
Nanak offers this prayer to the Saints

759 : 1306
- please let me merge and blend with You. ||8||

759 : 1307
God has shown Mercy, and I have found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

759 : 1308
Nanak is satisfied, finding the Perfect Lord. ||1||Second Pause||1||
