Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

and pleasing the Saints and holy men, obtain the Beloved Lord and sing His Glorious Praises; play the sound current of the Naad with the five instruments. ||1||Pause||

Obtaining His Mercy, I easily gained the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; now, I am imbued with the Love of the Lord of the Universe.

Serving the Saints, I feel love and affection for my Beloved Lord Master. ||1||

The Guru has implanted spiritual wisdom within my mind, and I rejoice that I shall not have to come back again. I have obtained celestial poise, and the treasure within my mind.

I have renounced all of the affairs of my mind's desires.

It has been so long, so long, so long, so very long, since my mind has felt such a great thirst.

Please, reveal to me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, and show Yourself to me.

Nanak the meek has entered Your Sanctuary; please, take me in Your embrace. ||2||2||153||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Who can destroy the fortress of sin,

and release me from hope, thirst, deception, attachment and doubt? ||1||Pause||

How can I escape the afflictions of sexual desire, anger, greed and pride? ||1||

In the Society of the Saints, love the Naam, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

Night and day, meditate on God.

I have captured and demolished the walls of doubt.

O Nanak, the Naam is my only treasure. ||2||3||154||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Renounce sexual desire, anger and greed;

remember the Name of the Lord of the Universe in your mind.

Meditation on the Lord is the only fruitful action. ||1||Pause||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 063

Renounce pride, attachment, corruption and falsehood, and chant the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

O mortal, attach yourself to the Feet of the Saints. ||1||

God is the Sustainer of the world, Merciful to the meek, the Purifier of sinners, the Transcendent Lord God. Awaken, and meditate on His Feet.

Perform His devotional worship, O Nanak, and your destiny shall be fulfilled. ||2||4||155||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Pleasure and pain, detachment and ecstasy - the Lord has revealed His Play. ||1||Pause||

One moment, the mortal is in fear, and the next moment he is fearless; in a moment, he gets up and departs.

One moment, he enjoys pleasures, and the next moment, he leaves and goes away. ||1||

One moment, he practices Yoga and intense meditation, and all sorts of worship; the next moment, he wanders in doubt.

One moment, O Nanak, the Lord bestows His Mercy and blesses him with His Love, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||5||156||

Raag Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Seventeenth House, Aasaavaree:

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

Meditate on the Lord, the Lord of the Universe.

Cherish the Beloved Lord, Har, Har, in your mind.
