If only I could have the good fortune to meet some friendly Saint; he might show me the Way to my Beloved Lord God. ||1|| I have searched my mind and body, through and through.

In that Congregation, the Lord God abides. ||2|| My Darling Beloved True Guru is my Protector. I am a helpless child-please cherish me. The Guru, the Perfect True Guru, is my Mother and Father.

My illness is known only to the Lord and the Perfect Guru. I cannot continue living without chanting the Naam. So give me the medicine, the Mantra of the Perfect Guru.

Meeting the True Guru, I drink in this Ambrosial Nectar. ||2|| By great good fortune, the Lord's Congregation is found, while the unfortunate ones wander around in doubt, enduring painful beatings.

The unfortunate ones do not find the True Guru; the self-willed manmukhs continually endure reincarnation through the womb. ||3|| God, the Merciful, has Himself bestowed His Mercy. He has totally removed the poisonous pollution of egotism. O Nanak, in the shops of the city of the human body, the Gurmukhs buy the merchandise of the Lord's Name. ||4||5|| Maajh, Fourth Mehl: I meditate on the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and the Name of the Lord.

I am a sacrifice, I am forever a sacrifice, to my Friend and Intimate Divine Guru. ||1||Pause|| When I could not be with You for just one moment, the Dark Age of Kali Yuga dawned for me. When will I meet You, O my Beloved Lord? Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 004 I cannot endure the night, and sleep does not come, without the Sight of the Beloved Guru's Court. ||3|| I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to that True Court of the Beloved Guru. ||1||Pause|| By good fortune, I have met the Saint Guru.

You Yourself consign the self-willed manmukhs to wander in reincarnation. Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to You; Your Entire Play is self-evident, Lord. ||4||2||9|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: The Unstruck Melody resounds and resonates in peaceful ease. I rejoice in the eternal bliss of the Word of the Shabad. In the cave of intuitive wisdom I sit, absorbed in the silent trance of the Primal Void. I have obtained my seat in the heavens. ||1|| After wandering through many other homes and houses, I have returned to my own home, and I have found what I was longing for. I am satisfied and fulfilled; O Saints, the Guru has shown me the Fearless Lord God. ||2|| He Himself is the King, and He Himself is the people. He Himself is in Nirvaanaa, and He Himself indulges in pleasures. He Himself sits on the throne of true justice, answering the cries and prayers of all. ||3|| As I have seen Him, so have I described Him. This Sublime Essence comes only to one who knows the Mystery of the Lord. His light merges into the Light, and he finds peace. O servant Nanak, this is all the Extension of the One. ||4||3||10|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: That house, in which the soul-bride has married her Husband Lord -in that house, O my companions, sing the songs of rejoicing.

I travelled through all sorts of woods and forests. My Lord, Har, Har, is both absolute and related, unmanifest and manifest; is there anyone who can come and unite me with Him? ||1|| People recite from memory the wisdom of the six schools of philosophy; they perform worship services, wear ceremonial religious marks on their foreheads, and take ritual cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage. They perform the inner cleansing practice with water and adopt the eighty-four Yogic postures; but still, they find no peace in any of these. ||2|| They chant and meditate, practicing austere self-discipline for years and years; they wander on journeys all over the earth; and yet, their hearts are not at peace, even for an instant. The Yogi rises up and goes out, over and over again. ||3||

and yet, their hearts are not at peace, even for an instant. The Yogi rises up and goes out, over and over again. ||3|| By His Mercy, I have met the Holy Saint. My mind and body have been cooled and soothed; I have been blessed with patience and composure. The Immortal Lord God has come to dwell within my heart. Nanak sings the songs of joy to the Lord. ||4||5||12|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: The Supreme Lord God is Infinite and Divine; He is Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Invisible and Inscrutable. Merciful to the meek, Sustainer of the World, Lord of the Universe-meditating on the Lord, the Gurmukhs find salvation. ||1|| The Gurmukhs are emancipated by the Lord.

He is not found any other way. ||2|| He does not need to eat; His Hair is Wondrous and Beautiful; He is free of hate. Millions of people worship His Feet. He alone is a devotee, who becomes Gurmukh, whose heart is filled with the Lord, Har, Har. ||3|| Forever fruitful is the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; He is Infinite and Incomparable. He is Awesome and All-powerful; He is forever the Great Giver. As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and you shall be carried across. O Nanak, rare are those who know this state! ||4||6||13|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: As You command, I obey; as You give, I receive. You are the Pride of the meek and the poor.

You are the Pride of the meek and the poor. You are everything; You are my Beloved. I am a sacrifice to Your Creative Power. ||1|| By Your Will, we wander in the wilderness; by Your Will, we find the path. By Your Will, we become Gurmukh and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. By Your Will, we wander in doubt through countless lifetimes. Everything happens by Your Will. ||2|| No one is foolish, and no one is clever. Your Will determines everything; You are Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Infinite and Unfathomable. Your Value cannot be expressed. ||3|| Please bless me with the dust of the Saints, O my Beloved.

O Nanak, with natural ease, I merge into Him. ||4||7||14|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: They forget the Lord, and they suffer in pain. Afflicted with hunger, they run around in all directions. Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, they are happy forever. The Lord, Merciful to the meek, bestows it upon them. ||1|| My True Guru is absolutely All-powerful. Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 006 When I dwell upon Him in my soul, all my sorrows depart. The sickness of anxiety and the disease of ego are cured; He Himself cherishes me. ||2|| Like a child, I ask for everything. God is Bountiful and Beautiful; He never comes up empty.

I have obtained this sublime understanding from the Guru. You are Nanak's Support, O my Lord and Master; through Your Love, I swim across to the other side. ||4||9||16|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: Blessed is that time when I meet the True Guru. Gazing upon the Fruitful Vision of His Darshan, I have been saved. Blessed are the hours, the minutes and the seconds-blessed is that Union with Him. ||1||

If it pleases You, let me meditate on You day and night; please, grant me this gift! ||1|| Into this blind clay, You have infused awareness. Everything, everywhere which You have given is good.

That which pleases God is chanting and meditation; to be in harmony with His Will is perfect spiritual wisdom. ||1|| He alone sings Your Ambrosial Naam, who is pleasing to Your Mind, O my Lord and Master.

He alone sings Your Ambrosial Naam, who is pleasing to Your Mind, O my Lord and Master. You belong to the Saints, and the Saints belong to You.

The Lord is the Giver of Peace and the Dispeller of sorrow. I have seen and tasted all other flavors, but to my mind, the Subtle Essence of the Lord is the sweetest of all. ||1|| Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 008 Whoever drinks this in, is satisfied. Whoever obtains the Sublime Essence of the Naam becomes immortal. The Treasure of the Naam is obtained by one whose mind is filled with the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2|| One who obtains the Sublime Essence of the Lord is satisfied and fulfilled.

God, the Giver of Peace, cherishes His servant. I carry the water, wave the fan, and grind the grain for the servant of my Lord and Master. ||1|| God has cut the noose from around my neck; He has placed me in His Service.

Nanak is a sacrifice to that servant. He is the pearl of the deep and unfathomable Ocean of God. ||4||18||25|| Maajh, Fifth Mehl: Everything is within the home of the self; there is nothing beyond. One who searches outside is deluded by doubt.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, they cross over the terrifying world-ocean, and conquer all their evil passions. ||3|| My mind has entered their Sanctuary.

My mind has entered their Sanctuary. I have renounced my pride in my own strength, and the darkness of emotional attachment.

From the very small and subtle, You have become huge and manifest. You are the Ocean of Water, and You are the foam and the bubbles on its surface.

You are the Giver of peace. You are detached in Nirvaanaa, and You are the Enjoyer, imbued with love.

I am a sacrifice to that Congregation in which the Lord is recognized. ||2|| Listen, O my beloved friends and companions: in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall be saved in an instant. Your sins will be cut out; your mind will be immaculate and pure.

He is Merciful, Kind and Compassionate. All are satisfied and fulfilled through Him. ||3||

You are my Protector everywhere; why should I feel any fear or anxiety? ||1|| By Your Grace, I recognize You. You are my Shelter, and You are my Honor.

Those, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace, become acceptable. They are attached, whom the Lord Himself attaches; as Gurmukh, they live the Truth. ||2|| Those whom the Lord Himself misleads-whose hand can they take? That which is pre-ordained, cannot be erased. Those who meet the True Guru are very fortunate and blessed; through perfect karma, He is met. ||3|| The young bride is fast asleep in her parents' home, night and day. She has forgotten her Husband Lord; because of her faults and demerits, she is abandoned. She wanders around continually, crying out, night and day. Without her Husband Lord, she cannot get any sleep. ||4||

She wanders around continually, crying out, night and day. Without her Husband Lord, she cannot get any sleep. ||4|| In this world of her parents' home, she may come to know the Giver of peace, if she subdues her ego, and recognizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad. Her bed is beautiful; she ravishes and enjoys her Husband Lord forever. She is adorned with the Decorations of Truth. ||5|| Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 018 He created the 8.4 million species of beings.

Through the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect Guru, He is met. O Nanak, through the Naam, greatness is obtained. He Himself unites in His Union. ||8||2||3|| Maajh, Third Mehl: The One Lord Himself moves about imperceptibly. As Gurmukh, I see Him, and then this mind is pleased and uplifted. Renouncing desire, I have found intuitive peace and poise; I have enshrined the One within my mind. ||1|| I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who focus their consciousness on the One.

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who focus their consciousness on the One. Through the Guru's Teachings, my mind has come to its only home; it is imbued with the True Color of the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause|| This world is deluded; You Yourself have deluded it. Forgetting the One, it has become engrossed in duality. Night and day, it wanders around endlessly, deluded by doubt; without the Name, it suffers in pain. ||2|| Those who are attuned to the Love of the Lord, the Architect of Destiny -by serving the Guru, they are known throughout the four ages. Those, upon whom the Lord bestows greatness, are absorbed in the Name of the Lord. ||3|| Being in love with Maya, they do not think of the Lord. Bound and gagged in the City of Death, they suffer in terrible pain. Blind and deaf, they see nothing at all; the self-willed manmukhs rot away in sin. ||4|| Those, whom You attach to Your Love, are attuned to Your Love. Through loving devotional worship, they become pleasing to Your Mind. They serve the True Guru, the Giver of eternal peace, and all their desires are fulfilled. ||5|| O Dear Lord, I seek Your Sanctuary forever. You Yourself forgive us, and bless us with Glorious Greatness. The Messenger of Death does not draw near those who meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||6|| Night and day, they are attuned to His Love; they are pleasing to the Lord. My God merges with them, and unites them in Union.
