O Nanak, one who does not forget the Naam, is saved by the Perfect Guru. ||8||22||

Aasaa, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees, Second House:

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

The Shaastras, the Vedas and the Simritees are contained in the ocean of Your Name; the River Ganges is held in Your Feet.

The intellect can understand the world of the three modes, but You, O Primal Lord, are totally astounding. ||1||

Servant Nanak meditates on His Feet, and chants the Ambrosial Word of His Bani. ||1||Pause||

Three hundred thirty million gods are Your servants. You bestow wealth, and the supernatural powers of the Siddhas; You are the Support of the breath of life.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 077

His beauteous forms cannot be comprehended; what can anyone accomplish by discussing and debating? ||2||

Throughout the ages, You are the three qualities, and the four sources of creation.

If You show Your Mercy, then one obtains the supreme status, and speaks the Unspoken Speech. ||3||

You are the Creator; all are created by You. What can any mortal being do?

He alone, upon whom You shower Your Grace, is absorbed into the Truth. ||4||

Everyone who comes and goes chants Your Name.

When it is pleasing to Your Will, then the Gurmukh understands. Otherwise, the self-willed manmukhs wander in ignorance. ||5||

You gave the four Vedas to Brahma, for him to read and read continually, and reflect upon.

The wretched one does not understand His Command, and is reincarnated into heaven and hell. ||6||

In each and every age, He creates the kings, who are sung of as His Incarnations.

Even they have not found His limits; what can I speak of and contemplate? ||7||

You are True, and all that You do is True. If You bless me with the Truth, I will speak on it.

One whom You inspire to understand the Truth, is easily absorbed into the Naam. ||8||1||23||

Aasaa, Third Mehl:

The True Guru has dispelled my doubts.

He has enshrined the Immaculate Name of the Lord within my mind.

Focusing on the Word of the Shabad, I have obtained lasting peace. ||1||

Listen, O my mind, to the essence of spiritual wisdom.

The Great Giver knows our condition completely; the Gurmukh obtains the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

The great glory of meeting the True Guru is

that it has quenched the fire of possessiveness and desire;

imbued with peace and poise, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

Without the Perfect Guru, no one knows the Lord.

Attached to Maya, they are engrossed in duality.

The Gurmukh receives the Naam, and the Bani of the Lord's Word. ||3||

Service to the Guru is the most excellent and sublime penance of penances.

The Dear Lord dwells in the mind, and all suffering departs.
