Aasaa, Fifth House, First Mehl:

359 : 553
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

359 : 554
The five evil passions dwell hidden within the mind.

359 : 555
They do not remain still, but move around like wanderers. ||1||

359 : 556
My soul does not stay held by the Merciful Lord.

359 : 557
It is greedy, deceitful, sinful and hypocritical, and totally attached to Maya. ||1||Pause||

359 : 558
I will decorate my neck with garlands of flowers.

359 : 559
When I meet my Beloved, then I will put on my decorations. ||2||

359 : 560
I have five companions and one Spouse.

359 : 561
It is ordained from the very beginning, that the soul must ultimately depart. ||3||

359 : 562
The five companions will lament together.

359 : 563
When the soul is trapped, prays Nanak, it is called to account. ||4||1||34||

359 : 564
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Aasaa, Sixth House, First Mehl:

359 : 566
If the pearl of the mind is strung like a jewel on the thread of the breath,

359 : 567
and the soul-bride adorns her body with compassion, then the Beloved Lord will enjoy His lovely bride. ||1||

359 : 568
O my Love, I am fascinated by Your many glories;

359 : 569
Your Glorious Virtues are not found in any other. ||1||Pause||

359 : 570
If the bride wears the garland of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, around her neck, and if she uses the toothbrush of the Lord;

359 : 571
and if she fashions and wears the bracelet of the Creator Lord around her wrist, then she shall hold her consciousness steady. ||2||

359 : 572
She should make the Lord, the Slayer of demons, her ring, and take the Transcendent Lord as her silken clothes.

359 : 573
The soul-bride should weave patience into the braids of her hair, and apply the lotion of the Lord, the Great Lover. ||3||

359 : 574
If she lights the lamp in the mansion of her mind, and makes her body the bed of the Lord,

359 : 575
then, when the King of spiritual wisdom comes to her bed, He shall take her, and enjoy her. ||4||1||35||

359 : 576
Aasaa, First Mehl:

359 : 577
The created being acts as he is made to act; what can be said to him, O Siblings of Destiny?

359 : 578
Whatever the Lord is to do, He is doing; what cleverness could be used to affect Him? ||1||

359 : 579
The Order of Your Will is so sweet, O Lord; this is pleasing to You.

359 : 580
O Nanak, he alone is honored with greatness, who is absorbed in the True Name. ||1||Pause||

359 : 581
The deeds are done according to pre-ordained destiny; no one can turn back this Order.

359 : 582
As it is written, so it comes to pass; no one can erase it. ||2||

359 : 583
He who talks on and on in the Lord's Court is known as a joker.

359 : 584
He is not successful in the game of chess, and his chessmen do not reach their goal. ||3||

359 : 585
By himself, no one is literate, learned or wise; no one is ignorant or evil.

359 : 586
When, as a slave, one praises the Lord, only then is he known as a human being. ||4||2||36||

359 : 587
Aasaa, First Mehl:

359 : 588
Let the Word of the Guru's Shabad be the ear-rings in your mind, and wear the patched coat of tolerance.

359 : 589
Whatever the Lord does, look upon that as good; thus you shall obtain the treasure of Sehj Yoga. ||1||
