393 : 2165
Meeting with them, love for God is embraced. ||1||

393 : 2166
By Guru's Grace, bliss is obtained.

393 : 2167
Meditating upon Him in remembrance, the mind is illumined; his state and condition cannot be described. ||1||Pause||

393 : 2168
Fasts, religious vows, cleansing baths, and worship to Him;

393 : 2169
listening to the Vedas, Puraanas, and Shaastras.

393 : 2170
Extremely pure is he, and immaculate is his place,

393 : 2171
who meditates upon the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in the Saadh Sangat. ||2||

393 : 2172
That humble being becomes renowned all over the world.

393 : 2173
Even sinners are purified, by the dust of his feet.

393 : 2174
One who has met the Lord, the Lord our King,

393 : 2175
his condition and state cannot be described. ||3||

393 : 2176
Twenty-four hours a day, with palms pressed together, I meditate;

393 : 2177
I yearn to obtain the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of those Holy Saints.

393 : 2178
Merge me, the poor one, with You, O Lord;

393 : 2179
Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary. ||4||38||89||

393 : 2180
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

393 : 2181
Twenty-four hours a day, he takes his cleansing bath in water;

393 : 2182
he makes continual offerings to the Lord; he is a true man of wisdom.

393 : 2183
He never leaves anything uselessly.

393 : 2184
Again and again, he falls at the Lord's Feet. ||1||

393 : 2185
Such is the Saalagraam, the stone idol, which I serve;

393 : 2186
such is my worship, flower-offerings and divine adoration as well. ||1||Pause||

393 : 2187
His bell resounds to the four corners of the world.

393 : 2188
His seat is forever in heaven.

393 : 2189
His chauri, his fly-brush, waves over all.

393 : 2190
His incense is ever-fragrant. ||2||

393 : 2191
He is treasured in each and every heart.

393 : 2192
The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is His Eternal Court.

393 : 2193
His Aartee, his lamp-lit worship service, is the Kirtan of His Praises, which brings lasting bliss.

393 : 2194
His Greatness is so beautiful, and ever limitless. ||3||

393 : 2195
He alone obtains it, who is so pre-ordained;

393 : 2196
he takes to the Sanctuary of the Saints' Feet.

393 : 2197
I hold in my hands the Saalagraam of the Lord.

393 : 2198
Says Nanak, the Guru has given me this Gift. ||4||39||90||

393 : 2199
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Panch-Pada:

393 : 2200
That highway, upon which the water-carrier is plundered

393 : 2201
- that way is far removed from the Saints. ||1||

393 : 2202
The True Guru has spoken the Truth.

393 : 2203
Your Name, O Lord, is the Way to Salvation; the road of the Messenger of Death is far away. ||1||Pause||

393 : 2204
That place, where the greedy toll-collector dwells

393 : 2205
- that path remains far removed from the Lord's humble servant. ||2||

393 : 2206
There, where so very many caravans of men are caught,

393 : 2207
the Holy Saints remain with the Supreme Lord. ||3||

393 : 2208
Chitra and Gupat, the recording angels of the conscious and the unconscious, write the accounts of all mortal beings,

393 : 2209
but they cannot even see the Lord's humble devotees. ||4||

393 : 2210
Says Nanak, one whose True Guru is Perfect

393 : 2211
- the unblown bugles of ecstasy vibrate for him. ||5||40||91||

393 : 2212
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl, Du-Pada 1:

393 : 2213
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Naam is learned;

393 : 2214
all desires and tasks are fulfilled.

393 : 2215
My thirst has been quenched, and I am satiated with the Lord's Praise.

393 : 2216
I live by chanting and meditating upon the Lord, the Sustainer of the earth. ||1||

393 : 2217
I have entered the Sanctuary of the Creator, the Cause of all causes.

393 : 2218
By Guru's Grace, I have entered the home of celestial bliss. Darkness is dispelled, and the moon of wisdom has risen. ||1||Pause||
