1They obtain a permanent seat in the infinite. ||2||

2No one falls there, or wavers, or goes anywhere.

3By Guru's Grace, some find this mansion.

4They are not touched by doubt, fear, attachment or the traps of Maya.

5They enter the deepest state of Samaadhi, through the kind mercy of God. ||3||

6He has no end or limitation.

7He Himself is unmanifest, and He Himself is manifest.

8One who enjoys the taste of the Lord, Har, Har, deep within himself,

9O Nanak, his wondrous state cannot be described. ||4||9||20||

10Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

11Meeting with the Sangat, the Congregation, the Supreme Lord God has come into my consciousness.

12In the Sangat, my mind has found contentment.

13I touch my forehead to the feet of the Saints.

14Countless times, I humbly bow to the Saints. ||1||

15This mind is a sacrifice to the Saints;

16holding tight to their support, I have found peace, and in their mercy, they have protected me. ||1||Pause||

17I wash the feet of the Saints, and drink in that water.

18Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Saints' Darshan, I live.

19My mind rests its hopes in the Saints.

20The Saints are my immaculate wealth. ||2||

21The Saints have covered my faults.

22By the Grace of the Saints, I am no longer tormented.

23The Merciful Lord has blessed me with the Saints' Congregation.

24The Compassionate Saints have become my help and support. ||3||

25My consciousness, intellect and wisdom have been enlightened.

26The Lord is profound, unfathomable, infinite, the treasure of virtue.

27He cherishes all beings and creatures.

28Nanak is enraptured, seeing the Saints. ||4||10||21||

29Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

30Your home, power and wealth will be of no use to you.

31Your corrupt worldly entanglements will be of no use to you.

32Know that all your dear friends are fake.

33Only the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, will go along with you. ||1||

34Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name, O friend; remembering the Lord in meditation, your honor shall be saved.

35Remembering the Lord in meditation, the Messenger of Death will not touch you. ||1||Pause||

36Without the Lord, all pursuits are useless.

37Gold, silver and wealth are just dust.

38Chanting the Word of the Guru's Shabad, your mind shall be at peace.

39Here and hereafter, your face shall be radiant and bright. ||2||

40Even the greatest of the great worked and worked until they were exhausted.

41None of them ever accomplished the tasks of Maya.

42Any humble being who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,

43will have all his hopes fulfilled. ||3||

44The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the anchor and support of the Lord's devotees.

45The Saints are victorious in this priceless human life.

46Whatever the Lord's Saint does, is approved and accepted.

47Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to him. ||4||11||22||

48Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

49You gather wealth by exploiting people.

50It is of no use to you; it was meant for others.

51You practice egotism, and act like a blind man.

52In the world hereafter, you shall be tied to the leash of the Messenger of Death. ||1||

53Give up your envy of others, you fool!

54You only live here for a night, you fool!

55You are intoxicated with Maya, but you must soon arise and depart.

56You are totally involved in the dream. ||1||Pause||

57In his childhood, the child is blind.

58In the fullness of youth, he is involved in foul-smelling sins.
