God, the Master, unto whom all things belong, shall take them away; the Lord's servant is redeemed by living the Word of the Shabad.

The people of the world do not like death; they try to hide from it. They are afraid that the Messenger of Death may catch them and take them away. ||2||

Death is pre-ordained; the Gurmukhs look beauteous, and the humble beings are saved, meditating on the Lord, Har, Har.

Through the Lord they obtain honor, and through the Lord's Name, glorious greatness. In the Court of the Lord, they are robed in honor.

Robed in honor in the Court of the Lord, in the perfection of the Lord's Name, they obtain peace through the Lord's Name.

The pains of both birth and death are eliminated, and they merge into the Name of the Lord.

The Lord's servants meet with God and merge into Oneness. The Lord's servant and God are one and the same.

Death is pre-ordained; the Gurmukhs look beauteous, and the humble beings are saved, meditating on the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

The people of the world are born, only to perish, and perish, and perish again. Only by attaching oneself to the Lord as Gurmukh, does one become permanent.

The Guru implants His Mantra within the heart, and one savors the sublime essence of the Lord; the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord trickles into his mouth.

Obtaining the Ambrosial Essence of the Lord, the dead are restored to life, and do not die again.

Through the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, one obtains the immortal status, and merges into the Lord's Name.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the only Support and Anchor of servant Nanak; without the Naam, there is nothing else at all.

The people of the world are born, only to perish, and perish, and perish again. Only by attaching oneself to the Lord as Gurmukh, does one become permanent. ||4||6||13||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 102

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl, Chhant:

My Lord of the Universe is great, unapproachable, unfathomable, primal, immaculate and formless.

His condition cannot be described; His Glorious Greatness is immeasurable. My Lord of the Universe is invisible and infinite.

The Lord of the Universe is invisible, infinite and unlimited. He Himself knows Himself.

What should these poor creatures say? How can they speak of and describe You?

That Gurmukh who is blessed by Your Glance of Grace contemplates You.

My Lord of the Universe is great, unapproachable, unfathomable, primal, immaculate and formless. ||1||

You, O Lord, O Primal Being, are the Limitless Creator; Your limits cannot be found.

You are pervading and permeating each and every heart, everywhere, You are contained in all.

Within the heart is the Transcendent, Supreme Lord God, whose limits cannot be found.

He has no form or shape; He is unseen and unknown. The Gurmukh sees the unseen Lord.
