My sorrows and troubles have departed, O Nanak, beholding God. ||2||
Pauree:
Unite with me, O Merciful Lord; I have fallen at Your Door.
O Merciful to the meek, save me. I have wandered enough; now I am tired.
It is Your very nature to love Your devotees, and save sinners.
Without You, there is no other at all; I offer this prayer to You.
Take me by the hand, O Merciful Lord, and carry me across the world-ocean. ||16||
Shalok:
The Merciful Lord is the Savior of the Saints; their only support is to sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.
One becomes immaculate and pure, by associating with the Saints, O Nanak, and taking the Protection of the Transcendent Lord. ||1||
The burning of the heart is not dispelled at all, by sandalwood paste, the moon, or the cold season.
It only becomes cool, O Nanak, by chanting the Name of the Lord. ||2||
Pauree:
Through the Protection and Support of the Lord's lotus feet, all beings are saved.
Hearing of the Glory of the Lord of the Universe, the mind becomes fearless.
Nothing at all is lacking, when one gathers the wealth of the Naam.
The Society of the Saints is obtained, by very good deeds.
Twenty-four hours a day, meditate on the Lord, and listen continually to the Lord's Praises. ||17||
Shalok:
The Lord grants His Grace, and dispels the pains of those who sing the Kirtan of the Praises of His Name.
When the Lord God shows His Kindness, O Nanak, one is no longer engrossed in Maya. ||1||
Section 15 - Raag Jaitsree - Part 015
The burning fire has been put out; God Himself has saved me.
Meditate on that God, O Nanak, who created the universe. ||2||
Pauree:
When God becomes merciful, Maya does not cling.
Millions of sins are eliminated, by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the One Lord.
The body is made immaculate and pure, bathing in the dust of the feet of the Lord's humble servants.
The mind and body become contented, finding the Perfect Lord God.
One is saved, along with his family, and all his ancestors. ||18||
Shalok:
The Guru is the Lord of the Universe; the Guru is the Lord of the world; the Guru is the Perfect Pervading Lord God.
The Guru is compassionate; the Guru is all-powerful; the Guru, O Nanak, is the Saving Grace of sinners. ||1||
The Guru is the boat, to cross over the dangerous, treacherous, unfathomable world-ocean.
O Nanak, by perfect good karma, one is attached to the feet of the True Guru. ||2||
Pauree:
Blessed, blessed is the Divine Guru; associating with Him, one meditates on the Lord.
When the Guru becomes merciful, then all one's demerits are dispelled.
The Supreme Lord God, the Divine Guru, uplifts and exalts the lowly.
Cutting away the painful noose of Maya, He makes us His own slaves.
