The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is deep and profound, strong, poised, lofty, exalted and infinite.

He stages His plays; His Virtues are priceless. Nanak is a sacrifice to Him. ||2||1||59||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

You must abandon your beauty, pleasures, fragrances and enjoyments; beguiled by gold and sexual desire, you must still leave Maya behind. ||1||Pause||

You gaze upon billions and trillions of treasures and riches, which delight and comfort your mind,

but these will not go along with you. ||1||

Entangled with children, spouse, siblings and friends, you are enticed and fooled; these pass like the shadow of a tree.

Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of His lotus feet; He has found peace in the faith of the Saints. ||2||2||60||

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Raag Raamkalee, Ninth Mehl, Ti-Padas:

O mind, take the sheltering support of the Lord's Name.

Remembering Him in meditation, evil-mindedness is dispelled, and the state of Nirvaanaa is obtained. ||1||Pause||

Know that one who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord is very fortunate.

The sins of countless incarnations are washed off, and he attains the heavenly realm. ||1||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 027

At the very last moment, Ajaamal became aware of the Lord;

that state which even the supreme Yogis desire - he attained that state in an instant. ||2||

The elephant had no virtue and no knowledge; what religious rituals has he performed?

O Nanak, behold the way of the Lord, who bestowed the gift of fearlessness. ||3||1||

Raamkalee, Ninth Mehl:

Holy people: what way should I now adopt,

by which all evil-mindedness may be dispelled, and the mind may vibrate in devotional worship to the Lord? ||1||Pause||

My mind is entangled in Maya; it knows nothing at all of spiritual wisdom.

What is that Name, by which the world, contemplating it, might attain the state of Nirvaanaa? ||1||

When the Saints became kind and compassionate, they told me this.

Understand, that whoever sings the Kirtan of God's Praises, has performed all religious rituals. ||2||

One who enshrines the Lord's Name in his heart night and day - even for an instant

- has his fear of Death eradicated. O Nanak, his life is approved and fulfilled. ||3||2||

Raamkalee, Ninth Mehl:

O mortal, focus your thoughts on the Lord.

Moment by moment, your life is running out; night and day, your body is passing away in vain. ||1||Pause||

You have wasted your youth in corrupt pleasures, and your childhood in ignorance.

You have grown old, and even now, you do not understand, the evil-mindedness in which you are entangled. ||1||

Why have you forgotten your Lord and Master, who blessed you with this human life?
