O mortal, let your love for the Supreme Lord God blossom forth.

Practice spiritual wisdom, and consult the humble servants of the Lord.

He alone is an ascetic, who joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

He alone dwells in deep, continual meditation, who loves his Guru. ||2||

He alone is fearless, who has the Fear of God.

He alone is peaceful, whose doubts are dispelled.

He alone is a hermit, who heart is steady and stable.

He alone is steady and unmoving, who has found the true place. ||3||

He seeks the One Lord, and loves the One Lord.

He loves to gaze upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

He intuitively enjoys the Love of the Lord.

Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to that humble being. ||4||3||

Section 29 - Raag Basant - Part 014

Basant, Fifth Mehl:

You gave us our soul, breath of life and body.

I am a fool, but You have made me beautiful, enshrining Your Light within me.

We are all beggars, O God; You are merciful to us.

Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, we are uplifted and exalted. ||1||

O my Beloved, only You have the potency to act,

and cause all to be done. ||1||Pause||

Chanting the Naam, the mortal is saved.

Chanting the Naam, sublime peace and poise are found.

Chanting the Naam, honor and glory are received.

Chanting the Naam, no obstacles shall block your way. ||2||

For this reason, you have been blessed with this body, so difficult to obtain.

O my Dear God, please bless me to speak the Naam.

This tranquil peace is found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

May I always chant and meditate within my heart on Your Name, O God. ||3||

Other than You, there is no one at all.

Everything is Your play; it all merges again into You.

As it pleases Your Will, save me, Lord.

O Nanak, peace is obtained by meeting with the Perfect Guru. ||4||4||

Basant, Fifth Mehl:

My Beloved God, my King is with me.

Gazing upon Him, I live, O my mother.

Remembering Him in meditation, there is no pain or suffering.

Please, take pity on me, and lead me on to meet Him. ||1||

My Beloved is the Support of my breath of life and mind.

This soul, breath of life, and wealth are all Yours, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

He is sought by the angels, mortals and divine beings.

The silent sages, the humble, and the religious teachers do not understand His mystery.

His state and extent cannot be described.

In each and every home of each and every heart, He is permeating and pervading. ||2||

His devotees are totally in bliss.

His devotees cannot be destroyed.

His devotees are not afraid.

His devotees are victorious forever. ||3||

What Praises of Yours can I utter?
