1225 : 978
But it is not fulfilled at all, and in the end, it dies, exhausted. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 979
It does not produce tranquility, peace and poise; this is the way it works.

1225 : 980
He does not know what belongs to him, and to others. He burns in sexual desire and anger. ||1||

1225 : 981
The world is enveloped by an ocean of pain; O Lord, please save Your slave!

1225 : 982
Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of Your Lotus Feet; Nanak is forever and ever a sacrifice. ||2||84||107||

1225 : 983
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1225 : 984
O sinner, who taught you to sin?

1225 : 985
You do not contemplate your Lord and Master, even for an instant; it was He who gave you your body and soul. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 986
Eating, drinking and sleeping, you are happy, but contemplating the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you are miserable.

1225 : 987
In the womb of your mother, you cried and whined like a wretch. ||1||

1225 : 988
And now, bound by great pride and corruption, you shall wander in endless incarnations.

1225 : 989
You have forgotten the Lord of the Universe; what misery will be your lot now? O Nanak, peace is found by realizing the sublime state of the Lord. ||2||85||108||

1225 : 990
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1225 : 991
O mother, I have grasped the Protection, the Sanctuary of the Lord's Feet.

1225 : 992
Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, my mind is fascinated, and evil-mindedness is taken away. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 993
He is Unfathomable, Incomprehensible, Exalted and High, Eternal and Imperishable; His worth cannot be appraised.

1225 : 994
Gazing upon Him, gazing upon Him in the water and on the land, my mind has blossomed forth in ecstasy. He is totally pervading and permeating all. ||1||

1225 : 995
Merciful to the meek, my Beloved, Enticer of my mind; meeting with the Holy, He is known.

1225 : 996
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord, Nanak lives; the Messenger of Death cannot catch or torment him. ||2||86||109||

1225 : 997
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1225 : 998
O mother, my mind is intoxicated.

1225 : 999
Gazing upon the Merciful Lord, I am filled with bliss and peace; imbued with the sublime essence of the Lord, I am intoxicated. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 1000
I have become spotless and pure, singing the Sacred Praises of the Lord; I shall never again be dirtied.

1225 : 1001
My awareness is focused on the Lotus Feet of God; I have met the Infinite, Supreme Being. ||1||

1225 : 1002
Taking me by the hand, He has given me everything; He has lit up my lamp.

1225 : 1003
O Nanak, savoring the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I have become detached; my generations have been carried across as well. ||2||87||110||

1225 : 1004
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1225 : 1005
O mother, by meditating in remembrance on some other, the mortal dies.

1225 : 1006
Forsaking the Lord of the Universe, the Giver of souls, the mortal is engrossed and entangled in Maya. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 1007
Forgetting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he walks on some other path, and falls into the most horrible hell.

1225 : 1008
He suffers uncounted punishments, and wanders from womb to womb in reincarnation. ||1||

1225 : 1009
They alone are wealthy, and they alone are honorable, who are absorbed in the Sanctuary of the Lord.

1225 : 1010
By Guru's Grace, O Nanak, they conquer the world; they do not come and go in reincarnation ever again. ||2||88||111||

1225 : 1011
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1225 : 1012
The Lord has cut down the crooked tree of my deceit.

1225 : 1013
The forest of doubt is burnt away in an instant, by the fire of the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

1225 : 1014
Sexual desire, anger and slander are gone; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I have beaten them and driven them out.
