Listen - this is the way of the Saints. || 1 || Pause || He plants his feet in the boat, and then sits down in it; the fatigue of his body is relieved. The great ocean does not even affect him; in an instant, he arrives on the other shore. || 2 || Sandalwood, aloe, and camphor-paste - the earth does not love them. But it doesn't mind, if someone digs it up bit by bit, and applies manure and urine to it. || 3 || High and low, bad and good - the comforting canopy of the sky stretches evenly over all. It knows nothing of friend and enemy; all beings are alike to it. || 4 || Blazing with its dazzling light, the sun rises, and dispels the darkness. Touching both the pure and the impure, it harbors no hatred to any. || 5 || The cool and fragrant wind gently blows upon all places alike. Wherever anything is, it touches it there, and does not hesitate a bit. || 6 || Good or bad, whoever comes close to the fire - his cold is taken away. It knows nothing of its own or others'; it is constant in the same quality. || 7 || Whoever seeks the Sancuary of the feet of the Sublime Lord - his mind is attuned to the Love of the Beloved. Constantly singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the World, O Nanak, God becomes merciful to us. || 8 || 3 ||
MARU, FIFTH MEHL, FOURTH HOUSE, ASHTAPADEES:

Moonlight, moonlight - in the courtyard of the mind, let the moonlight of God shine down. || 1 || Meditation, meditation sublime is meditation on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. || 2 || Renunciation, renunciation - noble is the renunciation of sexual desire, anger and greed. || 3 || Begging, begging-it is noble to beg for the Lord's Praise from the Guru. || 4 || Vigils, vigils - sublime is the vigil spent singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. || 5 || Attachment, attachment - sublime is the attachment of the mind to the Guru's Feet. || 6 || He alone is blessed with this way of life, upon whose forehead such destiny is recorded. || 7 || Says Nanak, everything is sublime and noble, for one who enters the Sanctuary of God. || 8 || 1 || 4 || MARU, FIFTH MEHL: Please come, O please come into the home of my heart, that I may hear with my ears the Lord's Praises. || 1 || Pause || With your coming, my soul and body are rejuvenated, and I sing with you the Lord's Praises. || 1 || By the Grace of the Saint, the Lord dwells within the heart, and the love of duality is eradicated. || 2 || By the kindness of the devotee, the intellect is enlightened, and pain and evil-mindedness are eradicated. || 3 || Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, one is sanctified, and is no longer consigned to the womb of reincarnation. || 4 || The nine treasures, wealth and miraculous spiritual powers are obtained, by one who is pleasing to Your mind. || 5 || Without the Saint, I have no place of rest at all; I cannot think of any other place to go. || 6 || I am unworthy; no one gives me sanctuary. But in the Society of the Saints, I merge in God. || 7 || Says Nanak, the Guru has revealed this miracle; within my mind, I enjoy the Lord, Har, Har. || 8 || 2 || 5 ||
