The serpent king chants and meditates on the Lord with his thousands of heads, but even by these chants, he cannot find the Lord's limits.

You are Utterly Unfathomable, Inaccessible and Infinite. Through the Wisdom of the Guru's Teachings, the mind becomes steady and balanced. ||1||

Those humble beings who meditate on You are noble and exalted. Meditating on the Lord, they are at peace.

Bidur, the son of a slave-girl, was an untouchable, but Krishna hugged him close in His Embrace. ||2||

Wood is produced from water, but by holding onto wood, one is saved from drowning.

The Lord Himself embellishes and exalts His humble servants; He confirms His Innate Nature. ||3||

I am like a stone, or a piece of iron, heavy stone and iron; in the Boat of the Guru's Congregation, I am carried across,

like Kabeer the weaver, who was saved in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. He became pleasing to the minds of the humble Saints. ||4||

Standing up, sitting down, rising up and walking on the path, I meditate.

The True Guru is the Word, and the Word is the True Guru, who teaches the Path of Liberation. ||5||

By His Training, I find strength with each and every breath; now that I am trained and tamed, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

By Guru's Grace, egotism is extinguished, and then, through the Guru's Teachings, I merge in the Naam. ||6||

Section 32 - Raag Kaanraa - Part 017

The True Guru is the Giver of the life of the soul, but the unfortunate ones do not love Him.

This opportunity shall not come into their hands again; in the end, they will suffer in torment and regret. ||7||

If a good person seeks goodness for himself, he should bow low in humble surrender to the Guru.

Nanak prays: please show kindness and compassion to me, O my Lord and Master, that I may apply the dust of the True Guru to my forehead. ||8||3||

Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

O mind, be attuned to His Love, and sing.

The Fear of God makes me fearless and immaculate; I am dyed in the color of the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

Those who are attuned to the Lord's Love remain balanced and detached forever; they live near the Lord, who comes into their house.

If I am blessed with the dust of their feet, then I live. Granting His Grace, He Himself bestows it. ||1||

Mortal beings are attached to greed and duality. Their minds are unripe and unfit, and will not accept the Dye of His Love.

But their lives are transformed through the Word of the Guru's Teachings. Meeting with the Guru, the Primal Being, they are dyed in the color of His Love. ||2||

There are ten organs of sense and action; the ten wander unrestrained. Under the influence of the three dispositions, they are not stable, even for an instant.
