1204 : 216
I ask and ask, with humility, "Who can tell me which country my Husband Lord lives in?"

1204 : 217
I would dedicate my heart to him, I offer my mind and body and everything; I place my head at his feet. ||2||

1204 : 218
I bow at the feet of the voluntary slave of the Lord; I beg him to bless me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

1204 : 219
Show Mercy to me, that I may meet God, and gaze upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan every moment. ||3||

1204 : 220
When He is Kind to me, He comes to dwell within my being. Night and day, my mind is calm and peaceful.

1204 : 221
Says Nanak, I sing the Songs of Joy; the Unstruck Word of the Shabad resounds within me. ||4||5||

1204 : 222
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1204 : 223
O mother, True, True True is the Lord, and True, True, True is His Holy Saint.

1204 : 224
The Word which the Perfect Guru has spoken, I have tied to my robe. ||1||Pause||

1204 : 225
Night and day, and the stars in the sky shall vanish. The sun and the moon shall vanish.

1204 : 226
The mountains, the earth, the water and the air shall pass away. Only the Word of the Holy Saint shall endure. ||1||

1204 : 227
Those born of eggs shall pass away, and those born of the womb shall pass away. Those born of the earth and sweat shall pass away as well.

1204 : 228
The four Vedas shall pass away, and the six Shaastras shall pass away. Only the Word of the Holy Saint is eternal. ||2||

1204 : 229
Raajas, the quality of energetic activity shall pass away. Taamas, the quality of lethargic darkness shall pass away. Saatvas, the quality of peaceful light shall pass away as well.

1204 : 230
All that is seen shall pass away. Only the Word of the Holy Saint is beyond destruction. ||3||

1204 : 231
He Himself is Himself by Himself. All that is seen is His play.

1204 : 232
He cannot be found by any means. O Nanak, meeting with the Guru, God is found. ||4||6||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1204 : 234
The Guru, the Lord of the Universe, dwells within my mind.

1204 : 235
Wherever my Lord and Master is remembered in meditation - that village is filled with peace and bliss. ||1||Pause||

1204 : 236
Wherever my Beloved Lord and Master is forgotten - all misery and misfortune is there.

1204 : 237
Where the Praises of my Lord, the Embodiment of Bliss and Joy are sung - eternal peace and wealth are there. ||1||

1204 : 238
Wherever they do not listen to the Stories of the Lord with their ears - the utterly desolate wilderness is there.

1204 : 239
Where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung with love in the Saadh Sangat - there is fragrance and fruit and joy in abundance. ||2||

1204 : 240
Without meditative remembrance on the Lord, one may live for millions of years, but his life would be totally useless.

1204 : 241
But if he vibrates and meditates on the Lord of the Universe, for even a moment, then he shall live forever and ever. ||3||

1204 : 242
O God, I seek Your Sanctuary, Your Sanctuary, Your Sanctuary; please mercifully bless me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

1204 : 243
O Nanak, the Lord is All-pervading everywhere, amongst all. He knows the qualities and the condition of all. ||4||7||

1204 : 244
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1204 : 245
Now, I have obtained the Support of the Lord.

1204 : 246
Those who seek the Sanctuary of the Ocean of Mercy are carried across the world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

1204 : 247
They sleep in peace, and intuitively merge into the Lord. The Guru takes away their cynicism and doubt.

1204 : 248
Whatever they wish for, the Lord does; they obtain the fruits of their minds' desires. ||1||

1204 : 249
In my heart, I meditate on Him; with my eyes, I focus my meditation on Him. With my ears, I listen to His Sermon.
