The inaccessible, unapproachable and eternally unchanging Lord is obtained in the Sanctuary of the Saints. ||3||

I am worthless, lowly, without friends or support, and full of sins; I long for the Shelter of the Saints.

I am drowning in the deep, dark pit of household attachments - please save me, Lord! ||4||7||

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl, First House:

O Creator Lord, You fulfill the desires of those, within whose heart You abide.

Your slaves do not forget You; the dust of Your feet is pleasing to their minds. ||1||

Your Unspoken Speech cannot be spoken.

O treasure of excellence, Giver of peace, Lord and Master, Your greatness is the highest of all. ||Pause||

The mortal does those deeds, and those alone, which You ordained by destiny.

Your servant, whom You bless with Your service, is satisfied and fulfilled, beholding the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||2||

You are contained in all, but he alone realizes this, whom You bless with understanding.

By Guru's Grace, his spiritual ignorance is dispelled, and he is respected everywhere. ||3||

He alone is spiritually enlightened, he alone is a meditator, and he alone is a man of good nature.

Says Nanak, one unto whom the Lord becomes Merciful, does not forget the Lord from his mind. ||4||8||

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:

The whole creation is engrossed in emotional attachment; sometimes, one is high, and at other times, low.

No one can be purified by any rituals or devices; they cannot reach their goal. ||1||

Section 13 - Raag Sorat'h - Part 017

O my mind, emancipation is attained in the Sanctuary of the Holy Saints.

Without the Perfect Guru, births and deaths do not cease, and one comes and goes, over and over again. ||Pause||

The whole world is entangled in what is called the delusion of doubt.

The perfect devotee of the Primal Lord God remains detached from everything. ||2||

Don't indulge in slander for any reason, for everything is the creation of the Lord and Master.

One who is blessed with the Mercy of my God, dwells on the Name in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3||

The Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord, the True Guru, saves all.

Says Nanak, without the Guru, no one crosses over; this is the perfect essence of all contemplation. ||4||9||

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:

I have searched and searched and searched, and found that the Lord's Name is the most sublime reality.

Contemplating it for even an instant, sins are erased; the Gurmukh is carried across and saved. ||1||

Drink in the sublime essence of the Lord's Name, O man of spiritual wisdom.

Listening to the Ambrosial Words of the Holy Saints, the mind finds absolute fulfillment and satisfaction. ||Pause||
