Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

I have not practiced chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline or good actions;

but within my mind, I have worshipped God's Name. ||3||

I know nothing, and my intellect is inadequate.

Prays Nanak, O God, You are my only Support. ||4||18||69||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

These two words, Har, Har, make up my maalaa.

Continually chanting and reciting this rosary, God has become merciful to me, His humble servant. ||1||

I offer my prayer to the True Guru.

Shower Your Mercy upon me, and keep me safe in Your Sanctuary; please, give me the maalaa, the rosary of Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

One who enshrines this rosary of the Lord's Name within his heart,

is freed of the pains of birth and death. ||2||

The humble being who contemplates the Lord within his heart, and chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, with his mouth,

never wavers, here or hereafter. ||3||

Says Nanak, one who is imbued with the Name,

goes to the next world with the maalaa of the Lord's Name. ||4||19||70||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

All things belong to Him - let yourself belong to Him as well.

No stain clings to such a humble being. ||1||

The Lord's servant is liberated forever.

Whatever He does, is pleasing to His servant; the way of life of His slave is immaculately pure. ||1||Pause||

One who renounces everything, and enters the Lord's Sanctuary

- how can Maya cling to him? ||2||

With the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in his mind,

he suffers no anxiety, even in dreams. ||3||

Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru.

My doubts and attachments have been totally obliterated. ||4||20||71||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

When my God is totally pleased with me,

then, tell me, how can suffering or doubt draw near me? ||1||

Continually listening to Your Glory, I live.

I am worthless - save me, O Lord! ||1||Pause||

My suffering has been ended, and my anxiety is forgotten.

I have obtained my reward, chanting the Mantra of the True Guru. ||2||

He is True, and True is His glory.

Remembering, remembering Him in meditation, keep Him clasped to your heart. ||3||

Says Nanak, what action is there left to do,

by one whose mind is filled with the Lord's Name? ||4||21||72||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Sexual desire, anger, and egotism lead to ruin.

Meditating on the Lord, the Lord's humble servants are redeemed. ||1||

The mortals are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya.

The devotees remain awake, imbued with the Lord's meditation. ||1||Pause||

In emotional attachment and doubt, the mortals wander through countless incarnations.

The devotees remain ever-stable, meditating on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||
