While you work at your job, on the road and at the beach, meditate and chant.

By Guru's Grace, drink in the Ambrosial Essence of the Lord. ||2||

The humble being who sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, day and night,

does not have to go with the Messenger of Death. ||3||

One who does not forget the Lord, twenty-four hours a day, is emancipated;

O Nanak, I fall at his feet. ||4||10||61||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Remembering Him in meditation, one abides in peace;

one becomes happy, and suffering is ended. ||1||

Celebrate, make merry, and sing God's Glories.

Forever and ever, surrender to the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

Act in accordance with the Shabad, the True Word of the True Guru.

Remain steady and stable within the home of your own self, and find God. ||2||

Do not harbor evil intentions against others in your mind,

and you shall not be troubled, O Siblings of Destiny, O friends. ||3||

The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is the Tantric exercise, and the Mantra, given by the Guru.

Nanak knows this peace alone, night and day. ||4||11||62||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

That wretched being, whom no one knows

- chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he is honored in the four directions. ||1||

I beg for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; please, give it to me, O Beloved!

Serving You, who, who has not been saved? ||1||Pause||

That person, whom no one wants to be near

- the whole world comes to wash the dirt of his feet. ||2||

That mortal, who is of no use to anyone at all

- by the Grace of the Saints, he meditates on the Naam. ||3||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the sleeping mind awakens.

Then, O Nanak, God seems sweet. ||4||12||63||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

With my eyes, I behold the One and Only Lord.

Forever and ever, I contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 041

I sing the Praises of the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

By the graceful favor of the Saints, I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

Everything is strung on His string.

He is contained in each and every heart. ||2||

He creates and destroys in an instant.

He Himself remains unattached, and without attributes. ||3||

He is the Creator, the Cause of causes, the Searcher of hearts.

Nanak's Lord and Master celebrates in bliss. ||4||13||64||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

My wandering through millions of births has ended.

I have won, and not lost, this human body, so difficult to obtain. ||1||

My sins have been erased, and my sufferings and pains are gone.

I have been sanctified by the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||1||Pause||

The Saints of God have the ability to save us;
