Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:

1019 : 1175
Fruitful is the life, the life of one who hears about the Lord, and chants and meditates on Him; he lives forever. ||1||Pause||

1019 : 1176
The real drink is that which satisfies the mind; this drink is the sublime essence of the Ambrosial Naam. ||1||

1019 : 1177
The real food is that which will never leave you hungry again; it will leave you contented and satisfied forever. ||2||

1019 : 1178
The real clothes are those which protect your honor before the Transcendent Lord, and do not leave you naked ever again. ||3||

1019 : 1179
The real enjoyment within the mind is to be absorbed in the sublime essence of the Lord, in the Society of the Saints. ||4||

1019 : 1180
Sew devotional worship to the Lord into the mind, without any needle or thread. ||5||

1019 : 1181
Imbued and intoxicated with the sublime essence of the Lord, this experience will never wear off again. ||6||

1019 : 1182
One is blessed with all treasures, when God, in His Mercy, gives them. ||7||

1019 : 1183
O Nanak, service to the Saints beings peace; I drink in the wash water of the feet of the Saints. ||8||3||6||

Maaroo, Fifth Mehl, Eighth House, Anjulees ~ With Hands Cupped In Prayer:

1019 : 1185
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1019 : 1186
The household which is filled with abundance - that household suffers anxiety.

1019 : 1187
One whose household has little, wanders around searching for more.

1019 : 1188
He alone is happy and at peace, who is liberated from both conditions. ||1||

1019 : 1189
Householders and kings fall into hell, along with renunciates and angry men,

1019 : 1190
and all those who study and recite the Vedas in so many ways.

1019 : 1191
Perfect is the work of that humble servant, who remains unattached while in the body. ||2||

1019 : 1192
The mortal sleeps, even while he is awake; he is being plundered by doubt.

1019 : 1193
Without the Guru, liberation is not obtained, friend.

1019 : 1194
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the bonds of egotism are released, and one comes to behold the One and only Lord. ||3||

Continued...

1019 : 1195
Doing deeds, one is placed in bondage; but if he does not act, he is slandered.

1019 : 1196
Intoxicated with emotional attachment, the mind is afflicted with anxiety.

1019 : 1197
One who looks alike upon pleasure and pain, by Guru's Grace, sees the Lord in each and every heart. ||4||

1019 : 1198
Within the world, one is afflicted by skepticism;

1019 : 1199
he does not know the imperceptible Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

1019 : 1200
He alone understands, whom the Lord inspires to understand. The Lord cherishes him as His child. ||5||

1019 : 1201
He may try to abandon Maya, but he is not released.

1019 : 1202
If he collects things, then his mind is afraid of losing them.

1019 : 1203
I wave the fly-brush over that holy person, whose honor is protected in the midst of Maya. ||6||

1019 : 1204
He alone is a warrior hero, who remains dead to the world.

1019 : 1205
One who runs away will wander in reincarnation.

1019 : 1206
Whatever happens, accept that as good. Realize the Hukam of His Command, and your evil-mindedness will be burnt away. ||7||

1019 : 1207
Whatever He links us to, to that we are linked.

1019 : 1208
He acts, and does, and watches over His Creation.

1019 : 1209
You are the Giver of peace, the Perfect Lord of Nanak; as You grant Your blessings, I dwell upon Your Name. ||8||1||7||

1019 : 1210
Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:

1019 : 1211
Beneath the tree, all beings have gathered.

1019 : 1212
Some are hot-headed, and some speak very sweetly.

1019 : 1213
Sunset has come, and they rise up and depart; their days have run their course and expired. ||1||

1019 : 1214
Those who committed sins are sure to be ruined.

1019 : 1215
Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, seizes and tortures them.
