O God, those humble beings meet You, whom You grasp by the arm, and place on the Path. ||1||
I do not know of any other support; O Lord, You are my only Hope and Support.
I am meek and poor - what prayer can I offer?
God abides in every heart.
My mind is thirsty for the Feet of God.
Servant Nanak, Your slave, speaks: I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, forever a sacrifice to You. ||2||1||33||
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl, Sixth House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Your Name, O my Beloved, is the Saving Grace of the world.
The Lord's Name is the wealth of the nine treasures.
One who is imbued with the Love of the Incomparably Beautiful Lord is joyful.
O mind, why do you cling to emotional attachments?
With your eyes, gaze upon the Blessed Vision, the Darshan of the Holy.
They alone find it, who have such destiny inscribed upon their foreheads. ||1||Pause||
I serve at the feet of the Holy Saints.
I long for the dust of their feet, which purifies and sanctifies.
Just like the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, it washes away filth and pollution.
With each and every breath I meditate on Him, and never turn my face away.
Of your thousands and millions, nothing shall go along with you.
Only the Name of God will call to you in the end. ||1||
Let it be your wish to honor and obey the One Formless Lord.
Abandon the love of everything else.
What Glorious Praises of Yours can I utter, O my Beloved?
I cannot describe even one of Your Virtues.
My mind is so thirsty for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.
Please come and meet Nanak, O Divine Guru of the World. ||2||1||34||
Section 32 - Raag Kaanraa - Part 012
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:
How may I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan? ||1||Pause||
I hope and thirst for Your wish-fulfilling image; my heart yearns and longs for You. ||1||
The meek and humble Saints are like thirsty fish; the Saints of the Lord are absorbed in Him.
I am the dust of the feet of the Lord's Saints.
I dedicate my heart to them.
God has become Merciful to me.
Renouncing pride and leaving behind emotional attachment, O Nanak, one meets with the Dear Lord. ||2||2||35||
Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:
The Playful Lord imbues all with the Color of His Love.
From the ant to the elephant, He is permeating and pervading all. ||1||Pause||
Some go on fasts, make vows, and take pilgrimages to sacred shrines on the Ganges.
They stand naked in the water, enduring hunger and poverty.
They sit cross-legged, perform worship services and do good deeds.
They apply religious symbols to their bodies, and ceremonial marks to their limbs.
They read through the Shaastras, but they do not join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||1||
