No one can measure Your Worth, or describe You.
349
:
56
Those who describe You, remain absorbed in You. ||1||
349
:
57
O my Great Lord and Master of Unfathomable Depth, You are the Ocean of Excellence.
349
:
58
No one knows the greatness of Your expanse. ||1||Pause||
349
:
59
All the contemplators met together and practiced contemplation;
349
:
60
all the appraisers met together and tried to appraise You.
349
:
61
The theologians, the meditators and the teachers of teachers
349
:
62
could not express even an iota of Your Greatness. ||2||
349
:
63
All Truth, all austerities, all goodness,
349
:
64
and the greatness of the Siddhas, the beings of perfect spiritual powers
349
:
65
- without You, none has attained such spiritual powers.
349
:
66
They are obtained by Your Grace; their flow cannot be blocked. ||3||
349
:
67
What can the helpless speaker do?
349
:
68
Your bounties are overflowing with Your Praises.
349
:
69
And the one, unto whom You give - why should he think of any other?
349
:
70
O Nanak, the True Lord is the Embellisher. ||4||1||
349

71
Aasaa, First Mehl:
349
:
72
Chanting the Name, I live; forgetting it, I die.
349
:
73
It is so difficult to chant the True Name.
349
:
74
If someone feels hunger for the True Name,
349
:
75
then that hunger shall consume his pains. ||1||
349
:
76
So how could I ever forget Him, O my Mother?
349
:
77
True is the Master, and True is His Name. ||1||Pause||
349
:
78
People have grown weary of trying to appraise the greatness of the True Name, but they have not been able to appraise even an iota of it.
349
:
79
Even if they were all to meet together and recount them,
349
:
80
You would not be made any greater or lesser. ||2||
349
:
81
He does not die - there is no reason to mourn.
349
:
82
He continues to give, but His Provisions are never exhausted.
349
:
83
This Glorious Virtue is His alone - no one else is like Him;
349
:
84
there has never been anyone like Him, and there never shall be. ||3||
349
:
85
As Great as You Yourself are, so Great are Your Gifts.
349
:
86
It is You who created day and night as well.
349
:
87
Those who forget their Lord and Master are vile and despicable.
349
:
88
O Nanak, without the Name, people are wretched outcasts. ||4||2||
349
:
89
Aasaa, First Mehl:
349
:
90
If a beggar cries out at the door, the Master hears it in His Mansion.
349
:
91
Whether He receives him or pushes him away, it is the Gift of the Lord's Greatness. ||1||
349
:
92
Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ||1||Pause||
349
:
93
He Himself acts, and He Himself inspires us to act.
349
:
94
He Himself considers our complaints.
349
:
95
Since You, O Creator Lord, are the Doer,
349
:
96
why should I submit to the world? ||2||
349
:
97
You Yourself created and You Yourself give.
349
:
98
You Yourself eliminate evil-mindedness;
349
:
99
by Guru's Grace, You come to abide in our minds,
349
:
100
and then, pain and darkness are dispelled from within. ||3||
349
:
101
He Himself infuses love for the Truth.
349
:
102
Unto others, the Truth is not bestowed.
349
:
103
If He bestows it upon someone, says Nanak, then, in the world hereafter, that person is not called to account. ||4||3||
349
:
104
Aasaa, First Mehl:
349
:
105
The urges of the heart are like cymbals and ankle-bells;
349
:
106
the drum of the world resounds with the beat.
349
:
107
Naarad dances to the tune of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga;
349
:
108
where can the celibates and the men of truth place their feet? ||1||
349
:
109
Nanak is a sacrifice to the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
349
:
110
The world is blind; our Lord and Master is All-seeing. ||1||Pause||
349
:
111
The disciple feeds on the Guru;
349
:
112
out of love for bread, he comes to dwell in his home.
