-385Inwardly and outwardly, He has shown me the One Lord. || 4 || 3 || 54 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: The mortal revels in joy, in the vigor of youth; but without the Name, he mingles with dust. || 1 || He may wear ear-rings and fine clothes, and have a comfortable bed, and his mind may be so proud. || 1 || Pause || He may have elephants to ride, and golden umbrellas over his head; but without devotional worship to the Lord, he is buried beneath the dirt. || 2 || He may enjoy many women, of exquisite beauty; but without the sublime essence of the Lord, all tastes are tasteless. || 3 || Deluded by Maya, the mortal is led into sin and corruption. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of God, the All-powerful, Compassionate Lord. II 4 || 4 | 55 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: There is a garden, in which so many plants have grown. They bear the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam as their fruit. ||1|| Consider this, O wise one, by which you may attain the state of Nirvaanaa. All around this garden are pools of poison, but within it is the Ambrosial Nectar, O Siblings of Destiny. || 1 || Pause || There is only one gardener who tends it. He takes care of every leaf and branch. || 2 || He brings all sorts of plants and plants them there. They all bear fruit
- none is without fruit. || 3 || One who receives the Ambrosial Fruit of the Naam from the Guru - O Nanak, such a servant crosses over the ocean of Maya. || 4 || 5 || 56 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: The pleasures of royalty are derived from Your Name. I attain Yoga, singing the Kirtan of Your Praises. Il 1 || All comforts are obtained in Your Shelter. The True Guru has removed the veil of doubt. || 1 || Pause II Understanding the Command of the Lord's Will, I revel in pleasure and joy. Serving the True Guru, I obtain the supreme state of Nirvaanaa. || 2 || One who recognizes You is recognized as a householder, and as a renunciate. Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he dwells in Nirvaanaa. || 3 || One who has obtained the treasure of the Naam - prays Nanak, his treasure-house is filled to overflowing. || 4 || 6 | 57 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: Journeying to sacred shrines of pilgrimage, I see the mortals acting in ego. If I ask the Pandits, I find them tainted by Maya. || 1 || Show me that place, O friend, where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are forever sung. || 1 || Pause 11 The Shaastras and the Vedas speak of sin and virtue; they say that mortals are reincarnated into heaven and hell, over and over again. || 2 || In the householder's life, there is anxiety, and in the life of the renunciate, there is egotism. Performing religious rituals, the soul is entangled. || 3 || By God's Grace, the mind is brought under control; O Nanak, the Gurmukh crosses over the ocean of Maya. || 4 || In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. This place is found through the Guru. || 1 || Second Pause || 7 || 58 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: Within my home there is peace, and outwardly there is peace as well. Remembering the Lord in meditation, all pains are erased. || 1 || There is total peace, when you come into my mind.
