and renounces the entanglements and pursuits of Maya. ||1||Pause||

885 : 352
He makes the five virtues, like contentment, his musical instruments, and plays the seven notes of the love of the Lord.

885 : 353
The notes he plays are the renunciation of pride and power; his feet keep the beat on the straight path.

885 : 354
He does not enter the cycle of reincarnation ever again; he keeps the One Word of the Shabad tied to the hem of his robe. ||2||

885 : 355
To play like Naarad, is to know that the Lord is ever-present.

885 : 356
The tinkling of the ankle bells is the shedding of sorrows and worries.

885 : 357
The dramatic gestures of acting are celestial bliss.

885 : 358

Some call Him, 'Raam, Raam', and some call Him, 'Khudaa-i'.

885 : 364
Some serve Him as 'Gusain', others as 'Allaah'. ||1||

885 : 365
He is the Cause of causes, the Generous Lord.

885 : 366
He showers His Grace and Mercy upon us. ||1||Pause||

885 : 367

885 : 370
Some wear blue robes, and some wear white. ||3||

885 : 371
Some call themselves Muslim, and some call themselves Hindu.

885 : 372
Some yearn for paradise, and others long for heaven. ||4||

885 : 373
Says Nanak, one who realizes the Hukam of God's Will,

885 : 374
knows the secrets of his Lord and Master. ||5||9||

885 : 375
Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:

885 : 376
The wind merges into the wind.

885 : 377
The light blends into the light.

885 : 378
The dust becomes one with the dust.

885 : 379
What support is there for the one who is lamenting? ||1||

885 : 380
Who has died? O, who has died?

885 : 381
O God-realized beings, meet together and consider this. What a wondrous thing has happened! ||1||Pause||

885 : 382
No one knows what happens after death.

885 : 383
The one who is lamenting will also arise and depart.

885 : 384
Mortal beings are bound by the bonds of doubt and attachment.

885 : 385
When life becomes a dream, the blind man babbles and grieves in vain. ||2||

885 : 386
The Creator Lord created this creation.

885 : 387
It comes and goes, subject to the Will of the Infinite Lord.

885 : 388
No one dies; no one is capable of dying.

885 : 389
The soul does not perish; it is imperishable. ||3||

885 : 390
That which is known, does not exist.

885 : 391
I am a sacrifice to the one who knows this.

885 : 392
Says Nanak, the Guru has dispelled my doubt.

885 : 393
No one dies; no one comes or goes. ||4||10||

885 : 397
Through millions of incarnations, you have come, wandering, wandering, wandering.
