Shalok Sehskritee, First Mehl & Fifth Mehl - Part 007

1359 : 220
His Power provides nourishment in the womb of the mother, and does not let disease strike.

1359 : 221
His Power holds back the ocean, O Nanak, and does not allow the waves of water to destroy the land. ||53||

1359 : 222
The Lord of the World is Supremely Beautiful; His Meditation is the Life of all.

1359 : 223
In the Society of the Saints, O Nanak, He is found on the path of devotional worship of the Lord. ||54||

1359 : 224
The mosquito pierces the stone, the ant crosses the swamp,

1359 : 225
the cripple crosses the ocean, and the blind sees in the darkness,

1359 : 226
meditating on the Lord of the Universe in the Saadh Sangat. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord, Har, Har, Haray. ||55||

1359 : 227
Like a Brahmin without a sacred mark on his forehead, or a king without the power of command,

1359 : 228
or a warrior without weapons, so is the devotee of God without Dharmic Faith. ||56||

1359 : 229
God has no conch-shell, no religious mark, no paraphernalia; he does not have blue skin.

1359 : 230
His Form is Wondrous and Amazing. He is beyond incarnation.

1359 : 231
The Vedas say that He is not this, and not that.

1359 : 232
The Lord of the Universe is Lofty and High, Great and Infinite.

1359 : 233
The Imperishable Lord abides in the hearts of the Holy. He is understood, O Nanak, by those who are very fortunate. ||57||

1359 : 234
Living in the world, it is like a wild jungle. One's relatives are like dogs, jackals and donkeys.

1359 : 235
In this difficult place, the mind is intoxicated with the wine of emotional attachment; the five unconquered thieves lurk there.

1359 : 236
The mortals wander lost in love and emotional attachment, fear and doubt; they are caught in the sharp, strong noose of egotism.

1359 : 237
The ocean of fire is terrifying and impassable. The distant shore is so far away; it cannot be reached.

1359 : 238
Vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the World, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; O Nanak, by His Grace, we are saved at the Lotus Feet of the Lord. ||58||

1359 : 239
When the Lord of the Universe grants His Grace, all illnesses are cured.

1359 : 240
Nanak chants His Glorious Praises in the Saadh Sangat, in the Sanctuary of the Perfect Transcendent Lord God. ||59||

1359 : 241
The mortal is beautiful and speaks sweet words, but in the farm of his heart, he harbors cruel vengeance.

1359 : 242
He pretends to bow in worship, but he is false. Beware of him, O friendly Saints. ||60||

1359 : 243
The thoughtless fool does not know that each day, his breaths are being used up.

1359 : 244
His most beautiful body is wearing away; old age, the daughter of death, has seized it.

1359 : 245
He is engrossed in family play; placing his hopes in transitory things, he indulges in corrupt pleasures.

1359 : 246
Wandering lost in countless incarnations, he is exhausted. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Embodiment of Mercy. ||61||

1359 : 247
O tongue, you love to enjoy the sweet delicacies.

1359 : 248
You are dead to the Truth, and involved in great disputes. Instead, repeat the holy words:

1359 : 249
Gobind, Daamodar, Maadhav. ||62||

1359 : 250
Those who are proud, and intoxicated with the pleasures of sex,

1359 : 251
and asserting their power over others,

1359 : 252
never contemplate the Lord's Lotus Feet. Their lives are cursed, and as worthless as straw.

1359 : 253
You are as tiny and insignificant as an ant, but you shall become great, by the Wealth of the Lord's Meditation.

1359 : 254
Nanak bows in humble worship, countless times, over and over again. ||63||

1359 : 255
The blade of grass becomes a mountain, and the barren land becomes green.

1359 : 256
The drowning one swims across, and the empty is filled to overflowing.

1359 : 257
Millions of suns illuminate the darkness,

1359 : 258
prays Nanak, when the Guru, the Lord, becomes Merciful. ||64||
