The Lord of the Universe is deep, profound and infinite; He has no end or limitation.

By Your Grace, Nanak sings Your Glorious Praises; meditating, meditating, he humbly bows to God. ||4||36||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

You are Infinite, Eternal and Incomprehensible; all this is Your Creation.

What clever games can we play, when everything is contained in You? ||1||

O my True Guru, protect me, Your child, through the power of Your play.

Grant me the good sense to ever sing Your Glorious Praises, O my Inaccessible and Infinite Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||

The mortal is preserved in the womb of his mother, by the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord;

he makes merry, and with each and every breath he remembers the Lord, and the fire does not touch him. ||2||

Others' wealth, others' wives, and the slander of others - renounce your craving for these.

Serve the Lord's Lotus Feet within your heart, and hold to the Support of the Perfect Guru. ||3||

Houses, mansions and palaces which you see - none of these shall go with you.

As long as you live in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, O servant Nanak, remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||37||

Aasaa, Third House, Fifth Mehl:

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

Power, property, youth, household, fame and the beauty of youth;

great wealth, elephants, horses and jewels, purchased with tens of thousands of dollars;

hereafter, these shall be of no avail in the Court of the Lord; the proud must depart, leaving them behind. ||1||

Why center your consciousness on any other than the Lord?

Sitting down, standing up, sleeping and waking, forever and ever, meditate on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

He may have the most wondrous and beautiful arenas, and be victorious on the field of battle.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 034

He may proclaim, "I can kill anyone, I can capture anyone, and I can release anyone."

But when the Order comes from the Supreme Lord God, he departs and leaves in a day. ||2||

He may perform all sorts of religious rituals and good actions, but he does not know the Creator Lord, the Doer of all.

He teaches, but does not practice what he preaches; he does not realize the essential reality of the Word of the Shabad.

Naked he came, and naked he shall depart; he is like an elephant, throwing dust on himself. ||3||

O Saints, and friends, listen to me: all this world is false.

Continually claiming, "Mine, mine", the mortals are drowned; the fools waste away and die.

Meeting the Guru, O Nanak, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; through the True Name, I am emancipated. ||4||1||38||
