1217 : 680
Those Saints who know You, O Lord and Master - blessed and approved is their coming into the world.

1217 : 681
The Congregation of those humble beings is obtained by great good fortune; Nanak is a sacrifice to the Saints. ||2||41||64||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1217 : 683
Save me, O Merciful Saint!

1217 : 684
You are the All-powerful Cause of causes. You have ended my separation, and joined me with God. ||1||Pause||

1217 : 685
You save us from the corruption and sins of countless incarnations; associating with You, we obtain sublime understanding.

1217 : 686
Forgetting God, we wandered through countless incarnations; with each and every breath, we sing the Lord's Praises. ||1||

1217 : 687
Whoever meets with the Holy Saints - those sinners are sanctified.

1217 : 688
Says Nanak, those who have such high destiny, win this invaluable human life. ||2||42||65||

1217 : 689
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1217 : 690
O my Lord and Master, Your humble servant has come to offer this prayer.

1217 : 691
Hearing Your Name, I am blessed with total peace, bliss, poise and pleasure. ||1||Pause||

1217 : 692
The Treasure of Mercy, the Ocean of Peace - His Praises are diffused everywhere.

1217 : 693
O Lord, You celebrate in the Society of the Saints; You reveal Yourself to them. ||1||

1217 : 694
With my eyes I see the Saints, and dedicate myself to serving them; I wash their feet with my hair.

1217 : 695
Twenty-four hours a day, I gaze upon the Blessed Vision, the Darshan of the Saints; this is the peace and comfort which Nanak has received. ||2||43||66||

1217 : 696
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1217 : 697
One who is lovingly absorbed in the Lord's Name

1217 : 698
is a good-hearted friend, intuitively embellished with happiness. He is said to be blessed and fortunate. ||1||Pause||

1217 : 699
He is rid of sin and corruption, and detached from Maya; he has renounced the poison of egotistical intellect.

1217 : 700
He thirsts for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, and he places his hopes in the One Lord alone. The Feet of his Beloved are the Support of his heart. ||1||

1217 : 701
He sleeps, wakes, rises up and sits down without anxiety; he laughs and cries without anxiety.

1217 : 702
Says Nanak, she who has cheated the world - that Maya is cheated by the humble servant of the Lord. ||2||44||67||

1217 : 703
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1217 : 704
Now, no one complains about the Lord's humble servant.

1217 : 705
Whoever tries to complain is destroyed by the Guru, the Transcendent Lord God. ||1||Pause||

1217 : 706
Whoever harbors vengeance against the One who is beyond all vengenace, shall lose in the Court of the Lord.

1217 : 707
From the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages, it is the glorious greatness of God, that He preserves the honor of His humble servants. ||1||

1217 : 708
The mortal becomes fearless, and all his fears are taken away, when he leans on the Support of the Lord's Lotus Feet.

1217 : 709
Chanting the Name, through the Guru's Word, Nanak has become famous throughout the world. ||2||45||68||

1217 : 710
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

1217 : 711
The Lord's humble servant has discarded all self-conceit.

1217 : 712
As You see fit, You save us, O Lord of the World. Beholding Your Glorious Grandeur, I live. ||1||Pause||

1217 : 713
Through the Guru's Instruction, and the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, all sorrow and suffering is taken away.

1217 : 714
I look upon friend and enemy alike; all that I speak is the Lord's meditation. ||1||

1217 : 715
The fire within me is quenched; I am cool, calm and tranquil. Hearing the unstruck celestial melody, I am wonder-struck and amazed.

1217 : 716
I am in ecstasy, O Nanak, and my mind is filled with Truth, through the perfect perfection of the Sound-current of the Naad. ||2||46||69||
