does not see the impassible world-ocean.

All one's affairs are resolved,

by chanting continually the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

Why should His slave feel any anxiety? The Guru places His hand upon my forehead.

The fear of birth and death is dispelled;

I am a sacrifice to the Perfect Guru. ||2||

I am enraptured, meeting with the Guru, the Transcendent Lord.

He alone obtains the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, who is blessed by His Mercy.

One who is blessed by the Grace of the Supreme Lord God,

crosses over the terrifying world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3||

Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, O Beloved Holy people.

Your face shall be radiant and bright in the Court of the Lord.

Celebrate and be blissful, and abandon all corruption.

O Nanak, meditate on the Lord and cross over. ||4||42||53||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 025

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

The fire runs away from the fuel.

The water runs away from the dust in all directions.

The feet are above, and the sky is beneath.

The ocean appears in the cup. ||1||

Such is our all-powerful dear Lord.

His devotees do not forget Him, even for an instant. Twenty-four hours a day, O mind, meditate on Him. ||1||Pause||

First comes the butter, and then the milk.

The dirt cleans the soap.

The fearless are afraid of fear.

The living are killed by the dead. ||2||

The visible body is hidden, and the etheric body is seen.

The Lord of the world does all these things.

The one who is cheated, is not cheated by the cheat.

With no merchandise, the trader trades again and again. ||3||

So join the Society of the Saints, and chant the Lord's Name.

So say the Simritees, Shaastras, Vedas and Puraanas.

Rare are those who contemplate and meditate on God.

O Nanak, they attain the supreme status. ||4||43||54||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

Whatever pleases Him happens.

Forever and ever, I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord.There is none other than God. ||1||Pause||

You look upon your children, spouse and wealth; none of these will go along with you.

Eating the poisonous potion, you have gone astray. You will have to go, and leave Maya and your mansions. ||1||

Slandering others, you are totally ruined; because of your past actions, you shall be consigned to the womb of reincarnation.

Your past actions will not just go away; the most horrible Messenger of Death shall seize you. ||2||

You tell lies, and do not practice what you preach. Your desires are not satisfied - what a shame.

You have contracted an incurable disease; slandering the Saints, your body is wasting away; you are utterly ruined. ||3||

He embellishes those whom He has fashioned. He Himself gave life to the Saints.
