1306 : 438
Making pilgrimages to sacred rivers, observing the six rituals, wearing matted and tangled hair, performing fire sacrifices and carrying ceremonial walking sticks - none of these are of any use. ||1||

1306 : 439
All sorts of efforts, austerities, wanderings and various speeches - none of these will lead you to find the Lord's Place.

1306 : 440
I have considered all considerations, O Nanak, but peace comes only by vibrating and meditating on the Name. ||2||2||39||

1306 : 441
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl, Ninth House:

1306 : 442
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1306 : 443
The Purifier of sinners, the Lover of His devotees, the Destroyer of fear - He carries us across to the other side. ||1||Pause||

1306 : 444
My eyes are satisfied, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; my ears are satisfied, hearing His Praise. ||1||

1306 : 445
He is the Master of the praanaa, the breath of life; He is the Giver of Support to the unsupported. I am meek and poor - I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord of the Universe.

1306 : 446
He is the Fulfiller of hope, the Destroyer of pain. Nanak grasps the Support of the Feet of the Lord. ||2||1||40||

1306 : 447
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:

1306 : 448
I seek the Sanctuary of the Feet of my Merciful Lord and Master; I do not go anywhere else.

1306 : 449
It is the Inherent Nature of our Lord and Master to purify sinners. Those who meditate on the Lord are saved. ||1||Pause||

1306 : 450
The world is a swamp of wickedness and corruption. The blind sinner has fallen into the ocean of emotional attachment and pride,

1306 : 451
bewildered by the entanglements of Maya.

1306 : 452
God Himself has taken me by the hand and lifted me up and out of it; save me, O Sovereign Lord of the Universe. ||1||

1306 : 453
He is the Master of the masterless, the Supporting Lord of the Saints, the Neutralizer of millions of sins.

1306 : 454
My mind thirsts for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

1306 : 455
God is the Perfect Treasure of Virtue.

1306 : 456
O Nanak, sing and savor the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the Kind and Compassionate Lord of the World. ||2||2||41||

1306 : 457
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:

Continued...

1306 : 458
Countless times, I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice

1306 : 459
to that moment of peace, on that night when I was joined with my Beloved. ||1||Pause||

1306 : 460
Mansions of gold, and beds of silk sheets - O sisters, I have no love for these. ||1||

1306 : 461
Pearls, jewels and countless pleasures, O Nanak, are useless and destructive without the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1306 : 462
Even with only dry crusts of bread, and a hard floor on which to sleep, my life passes in peace and pleasure with my Beloved, O sisters. ||2||3||42||

1306 : 463
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:

1306 : 464
Give up your ego, and turn your face to God.

1306 : 465
Let your yearning mind call out, "Guru, Guru".

1306 : 466
My Beloved is the Lover of Love. ||1||Pause||

1306 : 467
The bed of your household shall be cozy, and your courtyard shall be comfortable; shatter and break the bonds which tie you to the five thieves. ||1||

1306 : 468
You shall not come and go in reincarnation; you shall dwell in your own home deep within, and your inverted heart-lotus shall blossom forth.

1306 : 469
The turmoil of egotism shall be silenced.

1306 : 470
Nanak sings - he sings the Praises of God, the Ocean of Virtue. ||2||4||43||

1306 : 471
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl, Ninth House:

1306 : 472
This is why you should chant and meditate on the Lord, O mind.

1306 : 473
The Vedas and the Saints say that the path is treacherous and difficult. You are intoxicated with emotional attachment and the fever of egotism. ||Pause||

1306 : 474
Those who are imbued and intoxicated with the wretched Maya, suffer the pains of emotional attachment. ||1||

1306 : 475
That humble being is saved, who chants the Naam; You Yourself save him.

1306 : 476
Emotional attachment, fear and doubt are dispelled, O Nanak, by the Grace of the Saints. ||2||5||44||
