-916In the midst of children and spouse, and utter corruption, the True Guru has carried me across. || 14 || You Yourself take care of your beings; You Yourself attach them to the hem of Your robe. || 15 || I have built the boat of true Dharmic faith, to cross over the terrifying world-ocean. || 16 || The Lord Master is unlimited and endless; Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Him. || 17 || Being of Immortal Manifestation, He is not born; He is self-existent; He is the Light in the darkness of Kali Yuga. || 18 || He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Giver of souls; gazing upon Him, I am satisfied and fulfilled. || 19 || He is the One Universal Creator Lord, immaculate and fearless; He is permeating and pervading all the water and the land. || 20 |He blesses His devotees with the Gift of devotional worship; Nanak longs for the Lord, O my mother. || 21 || 1 || 6 || RAAMKALEE, FIFTH MEHL, SHALOK: Study the Word of the Shabad, O beloveds. It is your anchoring support in life and in death. Your face shall be radiant, and you will be at peace forever, O Nanak, meditating in remembrance on the One Lord. My mind and body are imbued with my Beloved Lord; I have been blessed with loving devotion to the Lord, O Saints. || 1 || The True Guru has approved my cargo, O Saints.

He is totally pervading and permeating everywhere, O Saints. || 7 || Nanak: the Lord is my friend, companion, wealth, youth, son, father and mother, O Saints. || 8 || 2 || 7 || RAAMKALEE, FIFTH MEHL: In thought, word and deed, I contemplate the Lord's Name. The horrible world-ocean is very treacherous; O Nanak, the Gurmukh is carried across. || 1 || Pause ll Inwardly, peace, and outwardly, peace; meditating on the Lord, evil tendencies are crushed. || 1 || He has rid me of what was clinging to me; my Dear Lord God has blessed me with His Grace. || 2 || The Saints are saved, in His Sanctuary; the very egotistical people rot away and die. || 3 || In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I have obtained this fruit, the Support of the One Name alone. || 4 || No one is strong, and no one is weak; all are manifestations of Your Light, Lord. || 5 || You are the all-powerful, indescribable, unfathomable, all-pervading Lord. || 6 || Who can estimate Your value, O Creator Lord? God has no end or limitation. || 7 || Please bless Nanak with the glorious greatness of the gift of the Naam, and the dust of the feet of Your Saints. || 8 ||3|| 8 || 22 ||
