892 : 738
When someone tries to appease her,

892 : 739
then she takes pride in herself.

892 : 740
But when someone puts her out of his thoughts,

892 : 741
then she serves him like a slave. ||2||

892 : 742
She seems to please, but in the end, she deceives.

892 : 743
She does not remain in any one place.

892 : 744
She has bewitched a great many worlds.

892 : 745
The Lord's humble servants cut her apart into pieces. ||3||

892 : 746
Whoever begs from her remains hungry.

892 : 747
Whoever is infatuated with her obtains nothing.

892 : 748
But one who renounces her, and joins the Society of the Saints,

892 : 749
by great good fortune, O Nanak, is saved. ||4||18||29||

892 : 750
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

892 : 751
See the Lord, the Universal Soul, in all.

892 : 752
The One God is perfect, and all-pervading.

892 : 753
Know that the priceless jewel is within your own heart.

892 : 754
Realize that your essence is within your own self. ||1||

892 : 755
Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, by the Grace of the Saints.

892 : 756
One who is blessed with high destiny, obtains it. Without a tongue, how can one know the taste? ||1||Pause||

892 : 757
How can a deaf person listen to the eighteen Puraanas and the Vedas?

892 : 758
The blind man cannot see even a million lights.

892 : 759
The beast loves grass, and remains attached to it.

892 : 760
One who has not been taught - how can he understand? ||2||

892 : 761
God, the Knower, knows all.

892 : 762
He is with His devotees, through and through.

892 : 763
Those who sing God's Praises with joy and delight,

892 : 764
O Nanak - the Messenger of Death does not even approach them. ||3||19||30||

892 : 765
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Continued...

892 : 766
Blessing me with His Name, He has purified and sanctified me.

892 : 767
The Lord's wealth is my capital. False hope has left me; this is my wealth.

892 : 768
Breaking my bonds, the Lord has linked me to His service.

892 : 769
I am a devotee of the Lord, Har, Har; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

892 : 770
The unstruck sound current vibrates and resounds.

892 : 771
The Lord's humble servants sing His Glorious Praises with love and delight; they are honored by the Divine Guru. ||1||Pause||

892 : 772
My pre-ordained destiny has been activated;

892 : 773
I have awakened from the sleep of countless incarnations.

892 : 774
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, my aversion is gone.

892 : 775
My mind and body are imbued with love for the Lord. ||2||

892 : 776
The Merciful Savior Lord has saved me.

892 : 777
I have no service or work to my credit.

892 : 778
In His Mercy, God has taken pity on me;

892 : 779
He lifted me up and pulled me out, when I was suffering in pain. ||3||

892 : 780
Listening, listening to His Praises, joy has welled up within my mind.

892 : 781
Twenty-four hours a day, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

892 : 782
Singing, singing His Praises, I have obtained the supreme status.

892 : 783
By Guru's Grace, Nanak is lovingly focused on the Lord. ||4||20||31||

892 : 784
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

892 : 785
In exchange for a shell, he gives up a jewel.

892 : 786
He tries to get what he must give up.

892 : 787
He collects those things which are worthless.

892 : 788
Enticed by Maya, he takes the crooked path. ||1||

892 : 789
You unfortunate man - have you no shame?

892 : 790
You do not remember in your mind the ocean of peace, the perfect Transcendent Lord God. ||1||Pause||

892 : 791
Nectar seems bitter to you, and poison is sweet.

892 : 792
Such is your condition, you faithless cynic, which I have seen with my own eyes.

892 : 793
You are fond of falsehood, fraud and egotism.
