350 : 113
If one were to live and eat for hundreds of years,

350 : 114
that day alone would be auspicious, when he recognizes his Lord and Master. ||2||

350 : 115
Beholding the sight of the petitioner, compassion is not aroused.

350 : 116
No one lives without give and take.

350 : 117
The king administers justice only if his palm is greased.

350 : 118
No one is moved by the Name of God. ||3||

350 : 119
O Nanak, they are human beings in form and name only;

350 : 120
by their deeds they are dogs - this is the Command of the Lord's Court.

350 : 121
By Guru's Grace, if one sees himself as a guest in this world,

350 : 122
then he gains honor in the Court of the Lord. ||4||4||

350 : 123
Aasaa, First Mehl:

350 : 124
As much as the Shabad is in the mind, so much is Your melody; as much as the form of the universe is, so much is Your body, Lord.

350 : 125
You Yourself are the tongue, and You Yourself are the nose. Do not speak of any other, O my mother. ||1||

350 : 126
My Lord and Master is One;

350 : 127
He is the One and Only; O Siblings of Destiny, He is the One alone. ||1||Pause||

350 : 128
He Himself kills, and He Himself emancipates; He Himself gives and takes.

350 : 129
He Himself beholds, and He Himself rejoices; He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace. ||2||

350 : 130
Whatever He is to do, that is what He is doing. No one else can do anything.

350 : 131
As He projects Himself, so do we describe Him; this is all Your Glorious Greatness, Lord. ||3||

350 : 132
The Dark Age of Kali Yuga is the bottle of wine; Maya is the sweet wine, and the intoxicated mind continues to drink it in.

350 : 133
He Himself assumes all sorts of forms; thus poor Nanak speaks. ||4||5||

350 : 134
Aasaa, First Mehl:

350 : 135
Make your intellect your instrument, and love your tambourine;

350 : 136
thus bliss and lasting pleasure shall be produced in your mind.

350 : 137
This is devotional worship, and this is the practice of penance.

350 : 138
So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||1||

350 : 139
Know that the perfect beat is the Praise of the Lord;

350 : 140
other dances produce only temporary pleasure in the mind. ||1||Pause||

350 : 141
Play the two cymbals of truth and contentment.

350 : 142
Let your ankle bells be the lasting Vision of the Lord.

350 : 143
Let your harmony and music be the elimination of duality.

350 : 144
So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||2||

350 : 145
Let the fear of God within your heart and mind be your spinning dance,

350 : 146
and keep up, whether sitting or standing.

350 : 147
To roll around in the dust is to know that the body is only ashes.

350 : 148
So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||3||

350 : 149
Keep the company of the disciples, the students who love the teachings.

350 : 150
As Gurmukh, listen to the True Name.

350 : 151
O Nanak, chant it, over and over again.

350 : 152
So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||4||6||

350 : 153
Aasaa, First Mehl:

350 : 154
He created the air, and He supports the whole world; he bound water and fire together.

350 : 155
The blind, ten-headed Raavan had his heads cut off, but what greatness was obtained by killing him? ||1||

350 : 156
What Glories of Yours can be chanted?

350 : 157
You are totally pervading everywhere; You love and cherish all. ||1||Pause||

350 : 158
You created all beings, and You hold the world in Your Hands; what greatness is it to put a ring in the nose of the black cobra, as Krishna did?

350 : 159
Whose Husband are You? Who is Your wife? You are subtly diffused and pervading in all. ||2||

350 : 160
Brahma, the bestower of blessings, entered the stem of the lotus, with his relatives, to find the extent of the universe.

350 : 161
Proceeding on, he could not find its limits; what glory was obtained by killing Kansa, the king? ||3||

350 : 162
The jewels were produced and brought forth by churning the ocean of milk. The other gods proclaimed "We are the ones who did this!"
