Ang 1316

SHALOK, FOURTH MEHL: O mind, even in sleep, remember the Lord God; let yourself be intuitively absorbed into the Celestial State of Samaadhi. Servant Nanak’s mind longs for the Lord, Har, Har. As the Guru pleases, he is absorbed into the Lord, O mother. ||1|| FOURTH MEHL: I am in love with the One and Only Lord; the One Lord fills my consciousness. Servant Nanak takes the Support of the One Lord God; through the One, he obtains honor and salvation. ||2|| PAUREE: The Panch Shabad, the Five Primal Sounds, vibrate with the Wisdom of the Guru’s Teachings; by great good fortune, the Unstruck Melody resonates and resounds. I see the Lord, the Source of Bliss, everywhere; through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, the Lord of the Universe is revealed. From the primal beginning, and throughout the ages, the Lord has One Form. Through the Wisdom of the Guru’s Teachings, I vibrate and meditate on the Lord God. O Merciful Lord God, please bless me with Your Bounty; O Lord God, please preserve and protect the honor of Your humble servant. Let everyone proclaim: Blessed is the Guru, the True Guru, the Guru, the True Guru; meeting Him, the Lord covers their faults and deficiencies. ||7||

SHALOK, FOURTH MEHL: The sacred pool of devotional worship is filled to the brim and overflowing in torrents. Those who obey the True Guru, O servant Nanak, are very fortunate — they find it. ||1|| FOURTH MEHL: The Names of the Lord, Har, Har, are countless. The Glorious Virtues of the Lord, Har, Har, cannot be described. The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible and Unfathomable; how can the humble servants of the Lord be united in His Union? Those humble beings meditate and chant the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, but they do not attain even a tiny bit of His Worth. O servant Nanak, the Lord God is Inaccessible; the Lord has attached me to His Robe, and united me in His Union. ||2|| PAUREE: The Lord is Inaccessible and Unfathomable. How will I see the Blessed Vision of the Lord’s Darshan? If He were a material object, then I could describe Him, but He has no form or feature. Understanding comes only when the Lord Himself gives understanding; only such a humble being sees it. The Sat Sangat, the True Congregation of the True Guru, is the school of the soul, where the Glorious Virtues of the Lord are studied. Blessed, blessed is the tongue, blessed is the hand, and blessed is the Teacher, the True Guru; meeting Him, the Account of the Lord is written. ||8||

SHALOK, FOURTH MEHL: The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is Ambrosial Nectar. Meditate on the Lord, with love for the True Guru. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har is Sacred and Pure. Chanting it and listening to it, pain is taken away. They alone worship and adore the Lord’s Name, upon whose foreheads such pre-ordained destiny is written. Those humble beings are honored in the Court of the Lord; the Lord comes to abide in their minds. O servant Nanak, their faces are radiant. They listen to the Lord; their minds are filled with love. ||1|| FOURTH MEHL: The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is the greatest treasure. The Gurmukhs obtain it. The True Guru comes to meet those who have such pre- ordained destiny written upon their foreheads. Their bodies and minds are cooled and soothed; peace and tranquility come to dwell in their minds. O Nanak, chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, all poverty and pain is dispelled. ||2|| PAUREE: I am a sacrifice, forever and ever, to those who have seen my Beloved True Guru. They alone meet my True Guru, who have such pre-ordaind destiny written upon their foreheads. I meditate on the Inaccessible Lord, according to the Guru’s Teachings; God has no form or feature. Those who follow the Guru’s Teachings and meditate on the Inaccessible Lord, merge with their Lord and Master and become one with Him. Let everyone proclaim out loud, the Name of the Lord, the Lord, the Lord; the profit of devotional worship of the Lord is blessed and sublime. ||9||

SHALOK, FOURTH MEHL: The Lord’s Name is permeating and pervading all. Repeat the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam. The Lord is in the home of each and every soul. God created this play with its various colors and forms. The Lord, the Life of the World, dwells near at hand. The Guru, my Friend, has made this clear. They alone meet the Lord, the Lord God, their Lord and Master, whose love for the Lord is pre-ordained. Servant Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; through the Word of the Guru’s Teachings, chant it consciously with your mind. ||1|| FOURTH MEHL: Seek the Lord God, your Best Friend; by great good fortune, He comes to dwell with the very fortunate ones. Through the Perfect Guru, He is revealed, O Nanak, and one is lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2|| PAUREE: Blessed, blessed, beauteous and fruitful is that moment, when service to the Lord becomes pleasing to the mind. So proclaim the story of the Lord, O my GurSikhs; speak the Unspoken Speech of my Lord God. How can I attain Him? How can I see Him? My Lord God is All-knowing and All- seeing. Through the Word of the Guru’s Teachings, the Lord reveals Himself; we merge in absorption in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Nanak is a sacrifice unto those who meditate on the Lord of Nirvaanaa. ||10||
