1205 : 250
With my feet, I walk on my Lord and Mater's Path. With my tongue, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

1205 : 251
With my eyes, I see the Lord, the Embodiment of Absolute Bliss; the Saint has turned away from the world.

1205 : 252
I have found the Priceless Name of the Beloved Lord; it never leaves me or goes anywhere else. ||3||

1205 : 253
What praise, what glory and what virtues should I utter, in order to please the Lord?

1205 : 254
That humble being, unto whom the Merciful Lord is kind - O servant Nanak, he is the slave of God's slaves. ||4||8||

1205 : 255
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1205 : 256
Who can I tell, and with whom can I speak, about this state of peace and bliss?

1205 : 257
I am in ecstasy and delight, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan. My mind sings His Songs of Joy and His Glories. ||1||Pause||

1205 : 258
I am wonderstruck, gazing upon the Wondrous Lord. The Merciful Lord is All-pervading everywhere.

1205 : 259
I drink in the Invaluable Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Like the mute, I can only smile - I cannot speak of its flavor. ||1||

1205 : 260
As the breath is held in bondage, no one can understand its coming in and going out.

1205 : 261
So is that person, whose heart is enlightened by the Lord - his story cannot be told. ||2||

1205 : 262
As many other efforts as you can think of - I have seen them and studied them all.

1205 : 263
My Beloved, Carefree Lord has revealed Himself within the home of my own heart; thus I have realized the Inaccessible Lord. ||3||

1205 : 264
The Absolute, Formless, Eternally Unchanging, Immeasurable Lord cannot be masured.

1205 : 265
Says Nanak, whoever endures the unendurable - this state belongs to him alone. ||4||9||

1205 : 266
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1205 : 267
The corrupt person passes his days and nights uselessly.

Continued...

1205 : 268
He does not vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the Universe; he is intoxicated with egotistical intellect. He loses his life in the gamble. ||1||Pause||

1205 : 269
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is priceless, but he is not in love with it. He loves only to slander others.

1205 : 270
Weaving the grass, he builds his house of straw. At the door, he builds a fire. ||1||

1205 : 271
He carries a load of sulfur on his head, and drives the Ambrosial Nectar out of his mind.

1205 : 272
Wearing his good clothes, the mortal falls into the coal-pit; again and again, he tries to shake it off. ||2||

1205 : 273
Standing on the branch, eating and eating and smiling, he cuts down the tree.

1205 : 274
He falls down head-first and is shattered into bits and pieces. ||3||

1205 : 275
He bears vengeance against the Lord who is free of vengeance. The fool is not up to the task.

1205 : 276
Says Nanak, the Saving Grace of the Saints is the Formless, Supreme Lord God. ||4||10||

1205 : 277
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1205 : 278
All the others are deluded by doubt; they do not understand.

1205 : 279
That person, within whose heart the One Pure Word abides, realizes the essence of the Vedas. ||1||Pause||

1205 : 280
He walks in the ways of the world, trying to please people.

1205 : 281
But as long as his heart is not enlightened, he is stuck in pitch black darkness. ||1||

1205 : 282
The land may be prepared in every way, but nothing sprouts without being planted.

1205 : 283
Just so, without the Lord's Name, no one is liberated, nor is egotistical pride eradicated. ||2||

1205 : 284
The mortal may churn water until he is sore, but how can butter be produced?

1205 : 285
Without meeting the Guru, no one is liberated, and the Lord of the Universe is not met. ||3||
