-406Please, be kind to me - I am just a worm. This is my object and purpose. || 2 || My body and wealth are Yours; You are my God - nothing is in my power. As You keep me, so do I live; I eat what you give me. || 3 || The sinful residues of countless incarnations are washed away, by bathing in the dust of the Lord's humble servants. By loving devotional worship, doubt and fear depart; O Nanak, the Lord is Ever-present. || 4 || 4 || 139 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: The Blessed Vision of Your Darshan is unapproachable and incomprehensible; he alone obtains it, who has such good destiny recorded upon his forehead. The Merciful Lord God has bestowed His Mercy, and the True Guru has granted the Lord's Name. || 1 || The Divine Guru is the Saving Grace in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. Even those fools and idiots, stained with feces and urine, have all taken to Your service. ll 1 || Pause | You Yourself are the Creator, who established the entire world. You are contained in all. The Righteous Judge of Dharma is wonder-struck, at the sight of everyone falling at the Lord's Feet. || 2 || The Golden Age of Sat Yuga, the Silver Age of Trayta Yuga, and the Brass Age of Dwaapar Yuga are good; but the best is the Dark Age, the Iron Age, of Kali Yuga. As we act, so are the rewards we receive; no one can take the place of another. || 3 || O Dear Lord, whatever your devotees ask for, You do. This is Your Way, Your very nature. With my palms pressed together, O Nanak, I beg for this gift; Lord, please bless Your Saints with Your Vision. || 4 | 5 || 140 |
RAAG AASAA, FIFTH MEHL, THIRTEENTH HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: O True Guru, by Your Words, even the worthless have been saved. || 1 || Pause || Even the most argumentative, vicious and indecent people, have been purified in your company. || 1 || Those who have wandered in reincarnation, and those who have been consigned to hell - even their families have been redeemed. || 2 || Those whom no one knew, and those whom no one respected - even they have become famous and respected at the Court of the Lord. || 3 || What praise, and what greatness should I attribute to You? Nanak is a sacrifice to You, each and every moment. Il 4 || 1 || 141 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: The crazy people are asleep. || 1 || Pause They are intoxicated with attachment to their families and sensory pleasures; they are held in the grip of falsehood. || 1 || The false desires, and the dream-like delights and pleasures - these, the self-willed manmukhs call true. || 2 || The wealth of the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, is with them, but they do not find even a tiny bit of its mystery. || 3 || By Your Grace, O Lord, You save those, who take to the Sanctuary of the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. Il 4 || 2 || 142 || AASAA, FIFTH MEHL, TI-PADAS: I seek the Love of my Beloved. || 1 || Pause |Gold, jewels, giant pearls and rubies - I have no need for them. || 1 ||
