I have seen Him in the four Vedas, I have seen Him in the six Shaastras, in the eighteen Puraanas and the Simritees as well.

All together, they declare that there is only the One Lord. So tell me, from whom is He hidden? ||3||

Unfathomable and Inaccessible, He is our Infinite Lord and Master; His Value is beyond valuation.

Servant Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to those, within whose heart He is revealed. ||4||2||15||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

How can anyone do evil, if he realizes that the Lord is near?

One who gathers corruption, constantly feels fear.

He is near, but this mystery is not understood.

Without the True Guru, all are enticed by Maya. ||1||

Everyone says that He is near, near at hand.

But rare is that person, who, as Gurmukh, understands this mystery. ||1||Pause||

The mortal does not see the Lord near at hand; instead, he goes to the homes of others.

He steals their wealth and lives in falsehood.

Under the influence of the drug of illusion, he does not know that the Lord is with him.

Without the Guru, he is confused and deluded by doubt. ||2||

Not understanding that the Lord is near, he tells lies.

In love and attachment to Maya, the fool is plundered.

That which he seeks is within his own self, but he looks for it outside.

Without the Guru, he is confused and deluded by doubt. ||3||

One whose good karma is recorded on his forehead

serves the True Guru; thus the hard and heavy shutters of his mind are opened wide.

Within his own being and beyond, he sees the Lord near at hand.

O servant Nanak, he does not come and go in reincarnation. ||4||3||16||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

Who can kill that person whom You protect, O Lord?

All beings, and the entire universe, is within You.

The mortal thinks up millions of plans,

but that alone happens, which the Lord of wondrous plays does. ||1||

Save me, save me, O Lord; shower me with Your Mercy.

I seek Your Sanctuary, and Your Court. ||1||Pause||

Whoever serves the Fearless Lord, the Giver of Peace,

is rid of all his fears; he knows the One Lord.

Whatever You do, that alone comes to pass in the end.

There is no other who can kill or protect us. ||2||

What do you think, with your human understanding?

The All-knowing Lord is the Searcher of Hearts.

The One and only Lord is my Support and Protection.

The Creator Lord knows everything. ||3||

That person who is blessed by the Creator's Glance of Grace

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 016

- all his affairs are resolved.

The One Lord is his Protector.

O servant Nanak, no one can equal him. ||4||4||17||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

We should feel sad, if God were beyond us.

We should feel sad, if we forget the Lord.
