they meet with those of us who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||2||

My mind is filled with bliss, since the Guru gave me the Mantra of the Lord's Name.

My thirst has been quenched, and my mind has become steady and stable. ||3||

The wealth of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is for me the nine treasures, and the spiritual powers of the Siddhas.

O Nanak, I have obtained understanding from the Guru. ||4||14||65||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

My thirst, and the darkness of ignorance have been removed.

Serving the Holy Saints, countless sins are obliterated. ||1||

I have obtained celestial peace and immense joy.

Serving the Guru, my mind has become immaculately pure, and I have heard the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

The stubborn foolishness of my mind is gone;

God's Will has become sweet to me. ||2||

I have grasped the Feet of the Perfect Guru,

and the sins of countless incarnations have been washed away. ||3||

The jewel of this life has become fruitful.

Says Nanak, God has shown mercy to me. ||4||15||66||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

I contemplate, forever and ever, the True Guru;

with my hair, I dust the feet of the Guru. ||1||

Be wakeful, O my awakening mind!

Without the Lord, nothing else shall be of use to you; false is emotional attachment, and useless are worldly entanglements. ||1||Pause||

Embrace love for the Word of the Guru's Bani.

When the Guru shows His Mercy, pain is destroyed. ||2||

Without the Guru, there is no other place of rest.

The Guru is the Giver, the Guru gives the Name. ||3||

The Guru is the Supreme Lord God; He Himself is the Transcendent Lord.

Twenty-four hours a day, O Nanak, meditate on the Guru. ||4||16||67||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

He Himself is the tree, and the branches extending out.

He Himself preserves His own crop. ||1||

Wherever I look, I see that One Lord alone.

Deep within each and every heart, He Himself is contained. ||1||Pause||

He Himself is the sun, and the rays emanating from it.

He is concealed, and He is revealed. ||2||

He is said to be of the highest attributes, and without attributes.

Both converge onto His single point. ||3||

Says Nanak, the Guru has dispelled my doubt and fear.

With my eyes, I perceive the Lord, the embodiment of bliss, to be everywhere. ||4||17||68||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

I know nothing of arguments or cleverness.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 042

Day and night, I chant Your Name. ||1||

I am worthless; I have no virtue at all.

God is the Creator, the Cause of all causes. ||1||Pause||

I am foolish, stupid, ignorant and thoughtless;

Your Name is my mind's only hope. ||2||
