In an instant, He purifies the sinners, and dispels the darkness of ignorance. ||3||

The Lord is all-powerful, the Cause of causes. Nanak seeks His Sanctuary. ||4||

Shattering the bonds, the Guru implants the Lord's lotus feet within, and lovingly attunes us to the One Word of the Shabad. ||5||

He has lifted me up, and pulled me out of the deep, dark pit of sin; I am attuned to the True Shabad. ||6||

The fear of birth and death is taken away; I shall never wander again. ||7||

This mind is imbued with the sublime elixir of the Naam; drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, it is satisfied. ||8||

Joining the Society of the Saints, I sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; I dwell in the eternal, unchanging place. ||9||

The Perfect Guru has given me the perfect teachings; there is nothing except the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny. ||10||

I have obtained the treasure of the Naam, by great good fortune; O Nanak, I shall not fall into hell. ||11||

Clever tricks have not worked for me; I shall act according to the Instructions of the Perfect Guru. ||12||

He is chanting, intense meditation, austere self-discipline and purification. He Himself acts, and causes us to act. ||13||

In the midst of children and spouse, and utter corruption, the True Guru has carried me across. ||14||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 041

You Yourself take care of Your beings; You Yourself attach them to the hem of Your robe. ||15||

I have built the boat of true Dharmic faith, to cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||16||

The Lord Master is unlimited and endless; Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Him. ||17||

Being of Immortal Manifestation, He is not born; He is self-existent; He is the Light in the darkness of Kali Yuga. ||18||

He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Giver of souls; gazing upon Him, I am satisfied and fulfilled. ||19||

He is the One Universal Creator Lord, immaculate and fearless; He is permeating and pervading all the water and the land. ||20||

He blesses His devotees with the Gift of devotional worship; Nanak longs for the Lord, O my mother. ||21||1||6||

Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl,

Shalok:

Study the Word of the Shabad, O beloveds. It is your anchoring support in life and in death.

Your face shall be radiant, and you will be at peace forever, O Nanak, meditating in remembrance on the One Lord. ||1||

My mind and body are imbued with my Beloved Lord; I have been blessed with loving devotion to the Lord, O Saints. ||1||

The True Guru has approved my cargo, O Saints.

He has blessed His slave with the profit of the Lord's Name; all my thirst is quenched, O Saints. ||1||Pause||

Searching and searching, I have found the One Lord, the jewel; I cannot express His value, O Saints. ||2||
