The Creator Lord Himself stood between us,

623 : 1042
and not a hair upon my head was touched.

623 : 1043
The Guru made my cleansing bath successful;

623 : 1044
meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, my sins were erased. ||1||

623 : 1045
O Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime.

623 : 1046
Whoever bathes in it, his family and ancestry are saved, and his soul is saved as well. ||1||Pause||

623 : 1047
The world sings cheers of victory,

623 : 1048
and the fruits of his mind's desires are obtained.

623 : 1051
that humble being obtains the supreme status.

623 : 1052
He does not die, or come and go in reincarnation;

623 : 1053
he meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

and nothing is left unfinished.

623 : 1061
Attached to the Guru's feet, I am saved;

623 : 1062
I contemplate and cherish the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

623 : 1063
He is forever the Savior of His slaves.

623 : 1064
Bestowing His Mercy, He made me His own and preserved me; like a mother or father, He cherishes me. ||1||Pause||

623 : 1065
By great good fortune, I found the True Guru,

623 : 1066
who obliterated the path of the Messenger of Death.

623 : 1067
My consciousness is focused on loving, devotional worship of the Lord.

623 : 1068
One who lives in this meditation is very fortunate indeed. ||2||

623 : 1069
He sings the Ambrosial Word of the Guru's Bani,

623 : 1070
and bathes in the dust of the feet of the Holy.

623 : 1080
Wherever I go, I am happy there.

623 : 1081
By His Kind Mercy, God united me with Himself. ||1||

So sing forever the Glorious Praises of the Lord with loving devotion.

623 : 1083

623 : 1084
The Lord is the support of the breath of life.

623 : 1085
I am the dust of the feet of the Holy people.

623 : 1086
I am a sinner, but the Lord made me pure.

623 : 1087
By His Kind Mercy, the Lord blessed me with His Praises. ||2||
