Nat, Fourth Mehl:

982 : 234
In the Sanctuary of the Guru, the Lord God saves and protects us,

982 : 235
as He protected the elephant, when the crocodile seized it and pulled it into the water; He lifted him up and pulled him out. ||1||Pause||

982 : 236
God's servants are sublime and exalted; they enshrine faith for Him in their minds.

982 : 237
Faith and devotion are pleasing to my God's Mind; He saves the honor of His humble servants. ||1||

The servant of the Lord, Har, Har, is committed to His service; He sees God pervading the entire expanse of the universe.

He sees the One and only Primal Lord God, who blesses all with His Glance of Grace. ||2||

982 : 240
God, our Lord and Master, is permeating and pervading all places; He takes care of the whole world as His slave.

982 : 243
Wandering, rambling and roaming through the forests and woods, I exhausted myself, and then in my own home, the Perfect Guru saved me. ||4||

The Word, the Bani is Guru, and Guru is the Bani. Within the Bani, the Ambrosial Nectar is contained.

If His humble servant believes, and acts according to the Words of the Guru's Bani, then the Guru, in person, emancipates him. ||5||

982 : 246
All is God, and God is the whole expanse; man eats what he has planted.

982 : 247
When Dhrishtabudhi tormented the humble devotee Chandrahaans, he only set his own house on fire. ||6||

God's humble servant longs for Him within his heart; God watches over each breath of His humble servant.

982 : 249
Mercifully, mercifully, He implants devotion within his humble servant; for his sake, God saves the whole world. ||7||

Nat, Fourth Mehl:

982 : 253
Grant Your Grace, Lord, and save me,

982 : 254
as You saved Dropadi from shame when she was seized and brought before the court by the evil villians. ||1||Pause||

982 : 256
I long constantly for the True Guru. Lead me to meet the Guru, O Lord, that I may be exalted and embellished. ||1||

982 : 257
The actions of the faithless cynic are like the churning of water; he churns, constantly churning only water.

982 : 258
Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, the supreme status is obtained; the butter is produced, and eaten with delight. ||2||

982 : 259
He may constantly and continually wash his body; he may constantly rub, clean and polish his body.
