The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, has assumed the form of a boat, to cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, and my doubts are shattered; says Nanak, I can bear the unbearable. ||2||2||6||

Jaitsree, Fifth Mehl:

One who has the Lord of the Universe as his help and support

is blessed with all peace, poise and bliss; no afflictions cling to him. ||1||Pause||

He appears to keep company with everyone, but he remains detached, and Maya does not cling to him.

He is absorbed in love of the One Lord; he understands the essence of reality, and he is blessed with wisdom by the True Guru. ||1||

Those whom the Lord and Master blesses with His kindness, compassion and mercy are the sublime and sanctified Saints.

Associating with them, Nanak is saved; with love and exuberant joy, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||3||7||

Jaitsree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord of the Universe is my existence, my breath of life, wealth and beauty.

The ignorant are totally intoxicated with emotional attachment; in this darkness, the Lord is the only lamp. ||1||Pause||

Fruitful is the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, O Beloved God; Your lotus feet are incomparably beautiful!

So many times, I bow in reverence to Him, offering my mind as incense to Him. ||1||

Exhausted, I have fallen at Your Door, O God; I am holding tight to Your Support.

Please, lift Your humble servant Nanak up, out of the pit of fire of the world. ||2||4||8||

Jaitsree, Fifth Mehl:

If only someone would unite me with the Lord!

I hold tight to His feet, and utter sweet words with my tongue; I make my breath of life an offering to Him. ||1||Pause||

I make my mind and body into pure little gardens, and irrigate them with the sublime essence of the Lord.

I am drenched with this sublime essence by His Grace, and the powerful hold of Maya's corruption has been broken. ||1||

I have come to Your Sanctuary, O Destroyer of the suffering of the innocent; I keep my consciousness focused on You.

Section 15 - Raag Jaitsree - Part 007

Bless me with the gifts of the state of fearlessness, and meditative remembrance, Lord and Master; O Nanak, God is the Breaker of bonds. ||2||5||9||

Jaitsree, Fifth Mehl:

The rainbird longs for the rain to fall.

O God, ocean of mercy, shower Your mercy on me, that I may yearn for loving devotional worship of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

The chakvi duck does not desire many comforts, but it is filled with bliss upon seeing the dawn.

The fish cannot survive any other way - without water, it dies. ||1||

I am a helpless orphan - I seek Your Sanctuary, O My Lord and Master; please bless me with Your mercy.

Nanak worships and adores the Lord's lotus feet; without Him, there is no other at all. ||2||6||10||
