 383 O Nanak, the Naam is my only Support. ॥4॥8॥47॥ AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: Everything is pre-ordained; what else can be known through study? The errant child has been forgiven by the Supreme Lord God. ॥1॥ My True Guru is always merciful; He has saved me, the meek one. He has cured me of my disease, and I have obtained the greatest peace; He has placed the Ambrosial Name of the Lord in my mouth. ॥1॥ Pause॥ He has washed away my countless sins; He has cut away my bonds, and I am liberated. He has taken me by the arm, and pulled me out of the terrible, deep dark pit. ॥2॥ I have become fearless, and all my fears have been erased. The Savior Lord has saved me. Such is Your generosity, O my God, that You have resolved all my affairs. ॥3॥ My mind has met with my Lord and Master, the treasure of excellence. Taking to His Sanctuary, Nanak has become blissful. ॥4॥9॥48॥ AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: If I forget You, then everyone becomes my enemy. When You come to mind, then they serve me. I do not know any other at all, O True, Invisible, Inscrutable Lord. ॥1॥ When You come to mind, You are always merciful to me; what can the poor people do to me? Tell me, who should I call good or bad, since all beings are Yours? ॥1॥ Pause॥ You are my Shelter, You are my Support; giving me Your hand, You protect me. That humble being, upon whom You bestow Your Grace, is not touched by slander or suffering. ॥2॥ That is peace, and that is greatness, which is pleasing to the mind of the Dear Lord God. You are all-knowing, You are forever compassionate; obtaining Your Name, I revel in it and make merry. ॥3॥ I offer my prayer to You; my body and soul are all Yours. Says Nanak, this is all Your greatness; no one even knows my name. ॥4॥10॥49॥ AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: Show Your Mercy, O God, O Searcher of hearts, that in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I might obtain You, Lord. When You open Your Door, and reveal the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, the mortal is not relegated to reincarnation again. ॥1॥ Meeting with my Beloved Lord aand Master, all my pains are taken away. I am saved and carried across, in the company of those who remember the Supreme Lord God in their hearts. ॥1॥ Pause॥ This world is a great wilderness, an ocean of fire, in which mortals abide, in pleasure and pain. Meeting with the True Guru, the mortal becomes immaculately pure; with his tongue, he chants the Ambrosial Name of the Lord. ॥2॥ He preserves his body and wealth, and takes everything as his own; such are the subtle bonds which bind him. By Guru’s Grace, the mortal becomes liberated, meditating on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ॥3॥ God, the Savior, has saved those, who are pleasing to the Will of God. The soul and body are all Yours, O Great Giver; O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice. ॥4॥11॥50॥ AASAA, FIFTH MEHL: You have avoided the slumber of attachment and impurity — by whose favor has this happened? The great enticer does not affect you.
