49

1In the Society of the Saints, God, the Beloved, the Forgiver, comes to dwell within the mind.

2One who has served his God is the emperor of kings||2||

3This is the time to speak and sing the Praise and the Glory of God, which brings the merit of millions of cleansing and purifying baths.

4The tongue which chants these Praises is worthy; there is no charity equal to this.

5Blessing us with His Glance of Grace, the Kind and Compassionate, All-powerful Lord comes to dwell within the mind and body.

6My soul, body and wealth are His. Forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||3||

7One whom the Creator Lord has met and joined to Himself shall never again be separated.

8The True Creator Lord breaks the bonds of His slave.

9The doubter has been put back on the path; his merits and demerits have not been considered.

10Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the One who is the Support of every heart. ||4||18||88||

11Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

12With your tongue, repeat the True Name, and your mind and body shall become pure.

13Your mother and father and all your relations-without Him, there are none at all.

14If God Himself bestows His Mercy, then He is not forgotten, even for an instant. ||1||

15O my mind, serve the True One, as long as you have the breath of life.

16Without the True One, everything is false; in the end, all shall perish. ||1||Pause||

17My Lord and Master is Immaculate and Pure; without Him, I cannot even survive.

18Within my mind and body, there is such a great hunger; if only someone would come and unite me with Him, O my mother!

19I have searched the four corners of the world-without our Husband Lord, there is no other place of rest. ||2||

20Offer your prayers to Him, who shall unite you with the Creator.

21The True Guru is the Giver of the Naam; His Treasure is perfect and overflowing.

22Forever and ever, praise the One, who has no end or limitation. ||3||

23Praise God, the Nurturer and Cherisher; His Wondrous Ways are unlimited.

24Forever and ever, worship and adore Him; this is the most wonderful wisdom.

25O Nanak, God's Flavor is sweet to the minds and bodies of those who have such blessed destiny written on their foreheads. ||4||19||89||

26Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

27Meet with the humble Saints, O Siblings of Destiny, and contemplate the True Name.

28For the journey of the soul, gather those supplies which will go with you here and hereafter.

29These are obtained from the Perfect Guru, when God bestows His Glance of Grace.

30Those unto whom He is Merciful, receive His Grace. ||1||

31O my mind, there is no other as great as the Guru.

32I cannot imagine any other place. The Guru leads me to meet the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

33Those who go to see the Guru obtain all treasures.

34Those whose minds are attached to the Guru's Feet are very fortunate, O my mother.

35The Guru is the Giver, the Guru is All-powerful. The Guru is All-pervading, contained amongst all.

36The Guru is the Transcendent Lord, the Supreme Lord God. The Guru lifts up and saves those who are drowning. ||2||

37How shall I praise the Guru, the All-powerful Cause of causes?

38Those, upon whose foreheads the Guru has placed His Hand, remain steady and stable.

39The Guru has led me to drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; He has released me from the cycle of birth and death.

40I serve the Guru, the Transcendent Lord, the Dispeller of fear; my suffering has been taken away. ||3||
