He is the Giver of all beings, the Architect of Destiny; O Nanak, He is contained in each and every heart. ||3||8||148||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

One who forgets the Lord is dead. ||1||Pause||

One who meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, obtains all rewards. That person becomes happy. ||1||

One who calls himself a king, and acts in ego and pride, is caught by his doubts, like a parrot in a trap. ||2||

Says Nanak, one who meets the True Guru, becomes permanent and immortal. ||3||9||149||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Fourteenth House:

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

That love is forever fresh and new,

which is for the Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||

One who is pleasing to God shall not be reincarnated again.

He remains absorbed in the loving devotional worship of the Lord, in the Love of the Lord. ||1||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 062

He is blended with God, by dedicating his mind to Him.

Bless Nanak with Your Name, O Lord - please, shower Your Mercy upon him! ||2||1||150||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Please, come to me, O Beloved Lord; without You, no one can comfort me. ||1||Pause||

One may read the Simritees and the Shaastras, and perform all sorts of religious rituals; and yet, without the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, God, there is no peace at all. ||1||

People have grown weary of observing fasts, vows and rigorous self-discipline; Nanak abides with God, in the Sanctuary of the Saints. ||2||2||151||

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

He sleeps, intoxicated by corruption and Maya; he does not come to realize or understand.

Seizing him by the hair, the Messenger of Death pulls him up; then, he comes to his senses. ||1||

Those who are attached to the poison of greed and sin grab at the wealth of others; they only bring pain on themselves.

They are intoxicated by their pride in those things which shall be destroyed in an instant; those demons do not understand. ||1||Pause||

The Vedas, the Shaastras and the holy men proclaim it, but the deaf do not hear it.

When the game of life is over, and he has lost, and he breathes his last, then the fool regrets and repents in his mind. ||2||

He paid the fine, but it is in vain - in the Court of the Lord, his account is not credited.

Those deeds which would have covered him - those deeds, he has not done. ||3||

Renouncing his pride in strength and cleverness, Nanak has come to the Lord's Sanctuary. ||4||1||152||
