Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1219 : 753
The Name of the Lord is cooling and soothing.

1219 : 754
Searching, searching the Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees, the Holy Saints have realized this. ||1||Pause||

1219 : 755
In the worlds of Shiva, Brahma and Indra, I wandered around, burning up with envy.

1219 : 756
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on my Lord and Master, I became cool and calm; my pains, sorrows and doubts are gone. ||1||

1219 : 757
Whoever has been saved in the past or the present, was saved through loving devotional worship of the Divine Lord.

1219 : 758
This is Nanak's prayer: O Dear God, please let me serve the humble Saints. ||2||52||75||

1219 : 759
Saarang, Fifth Mehl;

1219 : 760
O my tongue, sing the Ambrosial Praises of the Lord.

1219 : 761
Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, listen to the Lord's Sermon, and chant God's Name. ||1||Pause||

1219 : 762
So gather in the jewel, the wealth of the Lord's Name; love God with your mind and body.

1219 : 763
You must realize that all other wealth is false; this alone is the true purpose of life. ||1||

1219 : 764
He is the Giver of the soul, the breath of life and liberation; lovingly tune in to the One and Only Lord.

1219 : 765
Says Nanak, I have entered His Sanctuary; He gives sustenance to all. ||2||53||76||

1219 : 766
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1219 : 767
I cannot do anything else.

1219 : 768
I have taken this Support, meeting the Saints; I have entered the Sanctuary of the One Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

1219 : 769
The five wicked enemies are within this body; they lead the mortal to practice evil and corruption.

1219 : 770
He has infinite hope, but his days are numbered, and old age is sapping his strength. ||1||

Continued...

1219 : 771
He is the Help of the helpless, the Merciful Lord, the Ocean of Peace, the Destroyer of all pains and fears.

1219 : 772
Slave Nanak longs for this blessing, that he may live, gazing upon the Feet of God. ||2||54||77||

1219 : 773
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1219 : 774
Without the Lord's Name, flavors are tasteless and insipid.

1219 : 775
Sing the Sweet Ambrosial Praises of the Lord's Kirtan; day and night, the Sound-current of the Naad will resonate and resound. ||1||Pause||

1219 : 776
Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, total peace and bliss are obtained, and all sorrows are taken away.

1219 : 777
The profit of the Lord, Har, Har, is found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; so load it and bring it on home. ||1||

1219 : 778
He is the Highest of all, the Highest of the high; His celestial ecomony has no limit.

1219 : 779
Nanak cannot even express His Glorious Grandeur; gazing upon Him, he is wonder-struck. ||2||55||78||

1219 : 780
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1219 : 781
The mortal came to hear and chant the Word of the Guru's Bani.

1219 : 782
But he has forgotten the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and he has become attached to other temptations. His life is totally worthless! ||1||Pause||

1219 : 783
O my unconscious mind, become conscious and figure it out; the Saints speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

1219 : 784
So gather in your profits - worship and adore the Lord within your heart; your coming and going in reincarnation shall end. ||1||

1219 : 785
Efforts, powers and clever tricks are Yours; if You bless me with them, I repeat Your Name.

1219 : 786
They alone are devotees, and they alone are attached to devotional worship, O Nanak, who are pleasing to God. ||2||56||79||

1219 : 787
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1219 : 788
Those who deal in the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are wealthy.

1219 : 789
So become a partner with them, and earn the wealth of the Naam. Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||
