676 : 643
The True Lord is Nanak's strength, honor and support; He alone is his protection. ||4||2||20||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

676 : 645
Wandering and roaming around, I met the Holy Perfect Guru, who has taught me.

676 : 646
All other devices did not work, so I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

676 : 647
For this reason, I sought the Protection and Support of my Lord, the Cherisher of the Universe.

676 : 648
I sought the Sanctuary of the Perfect Transcendent Lord, and all my entanglements were dissolved. ||Pause||

676 : 649
Paradise, the earth, the nether regions of the underworld, and the globe of the world - all are engrossed in Maya.

676 : 650
To save your soul, and liberate all your ancestors, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

676 : 651
O Nanak, singing the Naam, the Name of the Immaculate Lord, all treasures are obtained.

676 : 652
Only that rare person, whom the Lord and Master blesses with His Grace, comes to know this. ||3||3||21||

676 : 653
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl, Second House, Chau-Padas:

676 : 654
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

676 : 655
You shall have to abandon the straw which you have collected.

676 : 656
These entanglements shall be of no use to you.

676 : 657
You are in love with those things that will not go with you.

676 : 658
You think that your enemies are friends. ||1||

676 : 659
In such confusion, the world has gone astray.

676 : 660
The foolish mortal wastes this precious human life. ||Pause||

676 : 661
He does not like to see Truth and righteousness.

676 : 662
He is attached to falsehood and deception; they seem sweet to him.

676 : 663
He loves gifts, but he forgets the Giver.

676 : 664
The wretched creature does not even think of death. ||2||

676 : 665
He cries for the possessions of others.

676 : 666
He forfeits all the merits of his good deeds and religion.

676 : 667
He does not understand the Hukam of the Lord's Command, and so he continues coming and going in reincarnation.

676 : 668
He sins, and then regrets and repents. ||3||

676 : 669
Whatever pleases You, Lord, that alone is acceptable.

676 : 670
I am a sacrifice to Your Will.

676 : 671
Poor Nanak is Your slave, Your humble servant.

676 : 672
Save me, O my Lord God Master! ||4||1||22||

676 : 673
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

676 : 674
I am meek and poor; the Name of God is my only Support.

676 : 675
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is my occupation and earnings.

676 : 676
I gather only the Lord's Name.

676 : 677
It is useful in both this world and the next. ||1||

676 : 678
Imbued with the Love of the Lord God's Infinite Name,

676 : 679
the Holy Saints sing the Glorious Praises of the One Lord, the Formless Lord. ||Pause||

676 : 680
The Glory of the Holy Saints comes from their total humility.

676 : 681
The Saints realize that their greatness rests in the Praises of the Lord.

676 : 682
Meditating on the Lord of the Universe, the Saints are in bliss.

676 : 683
The Saints find peace, and their anxieties are dispelled. ||2||

676 : 684
Wherever the Holy Saints gather,

676 : 685
there they sing the Praises of the Lord, in music and poetry.

676 : 686
In the Society of the Saints, there is bliss and peace.

676 : 687
They alone obtain this Society, upon whose foreheads such destiny is written. ||3||

676 : 688
With my palms pressed together, I offer my prayer.

676 : 689
I wash their feet, and chant the Praises of the Lord, the treasure of virtue.

676 : 690
O God, merciful and compassionate, let me remain in Your Presence.

676 : 691
Nanak lives, in the dust of the Saints. ||4||2||23||
