Whoever I approach to ask for help, I find him full of his own
troubles. One who worships in his heart the Supreme Lord God, crosses over the
terrifying world-ocean. || 1 || No one, except the Guru-Lord, can dispel our
pain and sorrow. Forsaking God, and serving another, ones honor, dignity and
reputation are decreased. || 1 || Pause || Relatives, relations and family
bound through Maya are of no avail. The Lords servant, although of lowly
birth, is exalted. Associating with him, one obtains the fruits of his minds
desires. || 2 || Through corruption, one may obtain thousands and millions of
enjoyments, but even so, his desires are not satisfied through them.
Remembering the Naam, the Name of the Lord, millions of lights appear, and the
incomprehensible is understood. || 3 || Wandering and roaming around, I have
come to Your Door, Destroyer of fear, O Lord King. Servant Nanak yearns for the
dust of the feet of the Holy; in it, he finds peace. || 4 || 6 || 7 ||

March 17, 2007

Those who do not remember the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, O my soul 
those self-willed manmukhs are foolish and ignorant. Those who attach their
consciousness to emotional attachment and Maya, O my soul, depart regretfully
in the end. They find no place of rest in the Court of the Lord, O my soul;
those self-willed manmukhs are lured by sin. O servant Nanak, those who meet
the Guru are saved, O my soul; chanting the Name of the Lord, they are absorbed
in the Name of the Lord. || 1 || Go, everyone, and meet the True Guru, O my
soul; He implants the Name of the Lord, Har, har, within. Do not hesitate for
an instant  meditate on the Lord, O my soul; who knows whether or not you
shall draw another breath? That time, that moment, that instant, that second is
so fruitful, O my soul, when the Lord comes into my consciousness. Servant
Nanak has meditated on the Naam, O my soul, and now, the Messenger of Death
does not even approach him. || 2 || The Lord continually watches and hears
everything, O my soul; only those who commit sins are afraid. Those whose
hearts are pure within, O my soul, cast off all their fears. Those who have
faith in the Name of the Fearless Lord, O my soul  all their enemies and
attackers speak against them in vain. Nanak serves the Perfect Guru, O my soul,
who causes all to fall at His feet. || 3 || So serve such a Lord continuously,
O my soul, who is the Great Lord and Master of all. Those who single-mindedly
worship Him in adoration, O my soul, are not subservient to anyone. Serving the
Guru, I have obtained the Mansion of the Lords Presence, O my soul; all the
slanderers and trouble-makers bark in vain. Servant Nanak meditates on the
Naam, O my soul; such is the pre-ordained destiny which the Lord has written on
his forehead. || 4 || 5 ||
