1he is intuitively in Samaadhi, profound and unfathomable.

2He is liberated forever and all his affairs are perfectly resolved;

3the Lord's Name abides within his heart. ||2||

4He is totally peaceful, blissful and healthy;

5he looks upon all impartially, and is perfectly detached.

6He does not come and go, and he never wavers;

7the Naam abides in his mind. ||3||

8God is Merciful to the meek; He is the Lord of the World, the Lord of the Universe.

9The Gurmukh meditates on Him, and his worries are gone.

10The Guru has blessed Nanak with the Naam;

11he serves the Saints, and works for the Saints. ||4||15||26||

12Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

13Sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, and the Beej Mantra, the Seed Mantra.

14Even the homeless find a home in the world hereafter.

15Fall at the feet of the Perfect Guru;

16you have slept for so many incarnations - wake up! ||1||

17Chant the Chant of the Lord's Name, Har, Har.

18By Guru's Grace, it shall be enshrined within your heart, and you shall cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

19Meditate on the eternal treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O mind,

20and then, the screen of Maya shall be torn away.

21Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Guru's Shabad,

22and then your soul shall be rendered immaculate and pure. ||2||

23Searching, searching, searching, I have realized

24that without devotional worship of the Lord, no one is saved.

25So vibrate, and meditate on that Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;

26your mind and body shall be imbued with love for the Lord. ||3||

27Renounce all your cleverness and trickery.

28O mind, without the Lord's Name, there is no place of rest.

29The Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the World, has taken pity on me.

30Nanak seeks the protection and support of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||16||27||

31Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

32In the Saints' Congregation, play joyfully with the Lord,

33and you will not have to meet the Messenger of Death hereafter.

34Your egotistical intellect shall be dispelled,

35and your evil-mindedness will be totally taken away. ||1||

36Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name, O Pandit.

37Religious rituals and egotism are of no use at all. You shall go home with happiness, O Pandit. ||1||Pause||

38I have earned the profit, the wealth of the Lord's praise.

39All my hopes have been fulfilled.

40Pain has left me, and peace has come to my home.

41By the Grace of the Saints, my heart-lotus blossoms forth. ||2||

42One who is blessed with the gift of the jewel of the Name,

43obtains all treasures.

44His mind becomes content, finding the Perfect Lord.

45Why should he ever go begging again? ||3||

46Hearing the Lord's sermon, he becomes pure and holy.

47Chanting it with his tongue, he finds the way to salvation.

48He alone is approved, who enshrines the Lord within his heart.

49Nanak: such a humble being is exalted, O Siblings of Destiny. ||4||17||28||

50Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

51No matter how hard you try to grab it, it does not come into your hands.

52No matter how much you may love it, it does not go along with you.

53Says Nanak, when you abandon it,

54then it comes and falls at your feet. ||1||

55Listen, O Saints: this is the pure philosophy.

56Without the Lord's Name, there is no salvation. Meeting with the Perfect Guru, one is saved. ||1||Pause||
