Aasaa, First Mehl:

421 : 3486
Beautiful is the Supreme Lord and Master, and beautiful is the Word of the Guru's Bani.

421 : 3487
By great good fortune, one meets the True Guru, and the supreme status of Nirvaanaa is obtained. ||1||

421 : 3488
I am the lowest slave of Your slaves; I am Your most humble servant.

421 : 3489
As You keep me, I live. Your Name is in my mouth. ||1||Pause||

421 : 3490
I have such a great thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; my mind accepts Your Will, and so You are pleased with me.

421 : 3491
Greatness is in the Hands of my Lord and Master; by His Will, honor is obtained. ||2||

421 : 3492
Do not think that the True Lord is far away; He is deep within.

421 : 3493
Wherever I look, there I find Him pervading; how can I estimate His value? ||3||

421 : 3494
He Himself does, and He Himself undoes. He Himself beholds His glorious greatness.

421 : 3495
Becoming Gurmukh, one beholds Him, and so, His value is appraised. ||4||

421 : 3496
So earn your profits while you are alive, by serving the Guru.

421 : 3497
If it is so pre-ordained, then one finds the True Guru. ||5||

Day and night, he remains detached, and serves the Primal Lord.

421 : 3503
O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Lord's Lotus Feet, are content with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||8||19||

421 : 3504
Aasaa, First Mehl:

421 : 3505
No matter how much one may describe the Lord, His limits still cannot be known.

421 : 3506
I am without any support; You, O Lord, are my only Support; You are my almighty power. ||1||

421 : 3507
This is Nanak's prayer, that he may be adorned with the True Name.

421 : 3508
When self-conceit is eradicated, and understanding is obtained, one meets the Lord, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||

421 : 3509
Abandoning egotism and pride, one obtains contemplative understanding.

421 : 3510
When the mind surrenders to the Lord Master, He bestows the support of the Truth. ||2||

421 : 3511
Day and night, remain content with the Naam, the Name of the Lord; that is the true service.

421 : 3512

421 : 3515
Forever and ever, the genuine coins are treasured; with them, the true merchandise is purchased.

421 : 3516
The false ones are not seen in the Lord's Treasury; they are seized and cast into the fire again. ||5||

421 : 3517
Those who understand their own souls, are themselves the Supreme Soul.

421 : 3518
The One Lord is the tree of ambrosial nectar, which bears the ambrosial fruit. ||6||

421 : 3519
Those who taste the ambrosial fruit remain satisfied with Truth.

421 : 3520
They have no doubt or sense of separation - their tongues taste the divine taste. ||7||

421 : 3521
By His Command, and through your past actions, you came into the world; walk forever according to His Will.

421 : 3522
Please, grant virtue to Nanak, the virtueless one; bless him with the glorious greatness of the Truth. ||8||20||

421 : 3523
Aasaa, First Mehl:

421 : 3524
One whose mind is attuned to the Lord's Name speaks the truth.

421 : 3525
What would the people lose, if I became pleasing to You, O Lord? ||1||
