1308 : 514
In the Fear of God and loving devotion, Nanak is exalted and enraptured, forever and ever a sacrifice to Him. ||2||4||49||

1308 : 515
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:

1308 : 516
The debaters debate and argue their arguments.

1308 : 517
The Yogis and meditators, religious and spiritual teachers roam and ramble, wandering endlessly all over the earth. ||1||Pause||

1308 : 518
They are egotistical, self-centered and conceited, foolish, stupid, idiotic and insane.

1308 : 519
Wherever they go and wander, death is always with them, forever and ever and ever and ever. ||1||

1308 : 520
Give up your pride and stubborn self-conceit; death, yes, death, is always close and near at hand.

1308 : 521
Vibrate and meditate on the Lord, Har, Haray, Haray. Says Nanak, listen you fool: without vibrating, and meditating, and dwelling on Him, your life is uselessly wasting away. ||2||5||50||12||62||

1308 : 522
Kaanraa, Ashtapadees, Fourth Mehl, First House:

1308 : 523
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1308 : 524
Chant the Name of the Lord, O mind, and find peace.

1308 : 525
The more you chant and meditate, the more you will be at peace; serve the True Guru, and merge in the Lord. ||1||Pause||

1308 : 526
Each and every instant, the humble devotees long for Him; chanting the Naam, they find peace.

1308 : 527
The taste of other pleasures is totally eradicated; nothing pleases them, except the Name. ||1||

1308 : 528
Following the Guru's Teachings, the Lord seems sweet to them; the Guru inspires them to speak sweet words.

1308 : 529
Through the Word of the True Guru's Bani, the Primal Lord God is revealed; so focus your consciousness on His Bani. ||2||

Continued...

1308 : 530
Hearing the Word of the Guru's Bani, my mind has been softened and saturated with it; my mind has returned to its own home deep within.

1308 : 531
The Unstruck Melody resonates and resounds there continuously; the stream of nectar trickles down constantly. ||3||

1308 : 532
Singing the Name of the One Lord each and every instant, and following the Guru's Teachings, the mind is absorbed in the Naam.

1308 : 533
Listening to the Naam, the mind is pleased with the Naam, and satisfied with the Naam. ||4||

1308 : 534
People wear lots of bracelets, glittering with gold; they wear all sorts of fine clothes.

1308 : 535
But without the Naam, they are all bland and insipid. They are born, only to die again, in the cycle of reincarnation. ||5||

1308 : 536
The veil of Maya is a thick and heavy veil, a whirlpool which destroys one's home.

1308 : 537
Sins and corrupt vices are totally heavy, like rusted slag. They will not let you cross over the poisonous and treacherous world-ocean. ||6||

1308 : 538
Let the Fear of God and neutral detachment be the boat; the Guru is the Boatman, who carries us across in the Word of the Shabad.

1308 : 539
Meeting with the Lord, the Name of the Lord, merge in the Lord, the Name of the Lord. ||7||

1308 : 540
Attached to ignorance, people are falling asleep; attached to the Guru's spiritual wisdom, they awaken.

1308 : 541
O Nanak, by His Will, He makes us walk as He pleases. ||8||1||

1308 : 542
Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

1308 : 543
O mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and be carried across.

1308 : 544
Whoever chants and meditates on it is emancipated. Like Dhroo and Prahlaad, they merge in the Lord. ||1||Pause||
