Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he dwells in Nirvaanaa. ||3||

One who has obtained the treasure of the Naam

- prays Nanak, his treasure-house is filled to overflowing. ||4||6||57||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Journeying to sacred shrines of pilgrimage, I see the mortals acting in ego.

If I ask the Pandits, I find them tainted by Maya. ||1||

Show me that place, O friend,

where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are forever sung. ||1||Pause||

The Shaastras and the Vedas speak of sin and virtue;

they say that mortals are reincarnated into heaven and hell, over and over again. ||2||

In the householder's life, there is anxiety, and in the life of the renunciate, there is egotism.

Performing religious rituals, the soul is entangled. ||3||

By God's Grace, the mind is brought under control;

O Nanak, the Gurmukh crosses over the ocean of Maya. ||4||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.

This place is found through the Guru. ||1||Second Pause||7||58||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Within my home there is peace, and outwardly there is peace as well.

Remembering the Lord in meditation, all pains are erased. ||1||

There is total peace, when You come into my mind.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 040

He alone is pleasing to Your Will, who chants the Naam. ||1||Pause||

My body and mind are cooled and soothed, chanting the Name of the Lord.

Meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, the house of pain is demolished. ||2||

He alone, who understands the Command of the Lord's Will, is approved.

The True Shabad of the Word of God is his trademark and insignia. ||3||

The Perfect Guru has implanted the Lord's Name within me.

Prays Nanak, my mind has found peace. ||4||8||59||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Wherever You send me, there I go.

Whatever You give me, brings me peace. ||1||

I am forever the chaylaa, the humble disciple, of the Lord of the Universe, the Sustainer of the World.

By Your Grace, I am satisfied and satiated. ||1||Pause||

Whatever You give me, I wear and eat.

By Your Grace, O God, my life passes peacefully. ||2||

Deep within my mind and body, I meditate on You.

I recognize none as equal to You. ||3||

Says Nanak, this is my continual meditation:

that I may be emancipated, clinging to the Feet of the Saints. ||4||9||60||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

While standing up, and sitting down, and even while asleep, meditate on the Lord.

Walking on the Way, sing the Praises of the Lord. ||1||

With your ears, listen to the Ambrosial Sermon.

Listening to it, your mind shall be filled with bliss, and the troubles and diseases of your mind shall all depart. ||1||Pause||
