I have found the Lord, the Treasure of Excellence; all my hopes have been fulfilled.

Nanak's mind is in ecstasy; the Guru has shattered the impregnable fortress. ||2||6||135||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

My mind is neutral and detached; I seek only the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. ||1||Pause||

Serving the Holy Saints, I meditate on my Beloved within my heart.

Gazing upon the Embodiment of Ecstasy, I rise to the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||

I work for Him; I have forsaken everything else. I seek only His Sanctuary.

O Nanak, my Lord and Master hugs me close in His Embrace; the Guru is pleased and satisfied with me. ||2||7||136||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

This is my condition.

Only my Merciful Lord knows it. ||1||Pause||

I have abandoned my mother and father, and sold my mind to the Saints.

I have lost my social status, birth-right and ancestry; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

I have broken away from other people and family; I work only for God.

The Guru has taught me, O Nanak, to serve only the One Lord. ||2||8||137||

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 035

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

You are my Loving Beloved Enticing Lord of the World.

You are in worms, elephants, stones and all beings and creatures; You nourish and cherish them all. ||1||Pause||

You are not far away; You are totally present with all.

You are Beautiful, the Source of Nectar. ||1||

You have no caste or social class, no ancestry or family.

Nanak: God, You are Merciful. ||2||9||138||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Acting and play-acting, the mortal sinks into corruption. Even the moon and the sun are enticed and bewitched.

The disturbing noise of corruption wells up, in the tinkling ankle bells of Maya the beautiful. With her beguiling gestures of love, she seduces everyone except the Lord. ||Pause||

Maya clings to the three worlds; those who are stuck in wrong actions cannot escape her. Drunk and engrossed in blind worldly affairs, they are tossed about on the mighty ocean. ||1||

The Saint, the slave of the Lord is saved; the noose of the Messenger of Death is snapped.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the Purifier of sinners; O Nanak, remember Him in meditation. ||2||10||139||3||13||155||

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

Raag Saarang, Ninth Mehl:

No one will be your help and support, except the Lord.

Who has any mother, father, child or spouse? Who is anyone's brother or sister? ||1||Pause||

All the wealth, land and property which you consider your own

- when you leave your body, none of it shall go along with you. Why do you cling to them? ||1||

God is Merciful to the meek, forever the Destroyer of fear, and yet you do not develop any loving relationship with Him.
