Renounce all your cleverness and trickery.

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

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

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

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

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

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

Your egotistical intellect shall be dispelled,

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

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

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

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

All my hopes have been fulfilled.

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

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

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

obtains all treasures.

His mind becomes content, finding the Perfect Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

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

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

Says Nanak, when you abandon it,

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

Listen, O Saints: this is the pure philosophy.

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

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 017

When someone tries to appease her,

then she takes pride in herself.

But when someone puts her out of his thoughts,

then she serves him like a slave. ||2||

She seems to please, but in the end, she deceives.

She does not remain in any one place.

She has bewitched a great many worlds.

The Lord's humble servants cut her apart into pieces. ||3||

Whoever begs from her remains hungry.

Whoever is infatuated with her obtains nothing.

But one who renounces her, and joins the Society of the Saints,

by great good fortune, O Nanak, is saved. ||4||18||29||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

See the Lord, the Universal Soul, in all.

The One God is perfect, and all-pervading.

Know that the priceless jewel is within your own heart.

Realize that your essence is within your own self. ||1||

Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, by the Grace of the Saints.
