674 : 568
Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. ||1||

674 : 569
I have only one tongue - which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe?

674 : 570
Unlimited, infinite Lord and Master - no one knows Your limits. ||1||Pause||

674 : 571
You destroy millions of my sins, and teach me in so many ways.

674 : 572
I am so ignorant - I understand nothing at all. Please honor Your innate nature, and save me! ||2||

674 : 573
I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend.

674 : 574
Save me, O Merciful Saviour Lord; Nanak is the slave of Your home. ||3||12||

674 : 575
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

674 : 576
Worship, fasting, ceremonial marks on one's forehead, cleansing baths, generous donations to charities and self-mortification

674 : 577
- the Lord Master is not pleased with any of these rituals, no matter how sweetly one may speak. ||1||

674 : 578
Chanting the Name of God, the mind is soothed and pacified.

674 : 579
Everyone searches for Him in different ways, but the search is so difficult, and He cannot be found. ||1||Pause||

674 : 580
Chanting, deep meditation and penance, wandering over the face of the earth, the performance of austerities with the arms stretched up to the sky

674 : 581
- the Lord is not pleased by any of these means, though one may follow the path of Yogis and Jains. ||2||

674 : 582
The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, and the Praises of the Lord are priceless; he alone obtains them, whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy.

674 : 583
Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak lives in the Love of God; his life-night passes in peace. ||3||13||

674 : 584
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

674 : 585
Is there anyone who can release me from my bondage, unite me with God, recite the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,

674 : 586
and make this mind steady and stable, so that it no longer wanders around? ||1||

674 : 587
Do I have any such friend?

674 : 588
I would give him all my property, my soul and my heart; I would devote my consciousness to him. ||1||Pause||

674 : 589
Others' wealth, others' bodies, and the slander of others - do not attach your love to them.

674 : 590
Associate with the Saints, speak with the Saints, and keep your mind awake to the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. ||2||

674 : 591
God is the treasure of virtue, kind and compassionate, the source of all comfort.

674 : 592
Nanak begs for the gift of Your Name; O Lord of the world, love him, like the mother loves her child. ||3||14||

674 : 593
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

674 : 594
The Lord saves His Saints.

674 : 595
One who wishes misfortune upon the Lord's slaves, shall be destroyed by the Lord eventually. ||1||Pause||

674 : 596
He Himself is the help and support of His humble servants; He defeats the slanderers, and chases them away.

674 : 597
Wandering around aimlessly, they die out there; they never return to their homes again. ||1||

674 : 598
Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of pain; he sings the Glorious Praises of the infinite Lord forever.

674 : 599
The faces of the slanderers are blackened in the courts of this world, and the world beyond. ||2||15||

674 : 600
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

674 : 601
Now, I contemplate and meditate on the Lord, the Saviour Lord.

674 : 602
He purifies sinners in an instant, and cures all diseases. ||1||Pause||

674 : 603
Talking with the Holy Saints, my sexual desire, anger and greed have been eradicated.

674 : 604
Remembering, remembering the Perfect Lord in meditation, I have saved all my companions. ||1||
