826 Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of pain; I behold His Presence deep within, and all around as well. ॥2॥22॥108॥ BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord’s Darshan, all pains run away. Please, never leave my vision, O Lord; please abide with my soul. ॥1॥ Pause॥ My Beloved Lord and Master is the Support of the breath of life. God, the Inner-knower, is all-pervading. ॥1॥ Which of Your Glorious Virtues should I contemplate and remember? With each and every breath, O God, I remember You. ॥2॥ God is the ocean of mercy, merciful to the meek; He cherishes all beings and creatures. ॥3॥ Twenty-four hours a day, Your humble servant chants Your Name. You Yourself, O God, have inspired Nanak to love You. ॥4॥23॥109॥ BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Body, wealth and youth pass away. You have not meditated and vibrated upon the Lord’s Name; while you commit your sins of corruption in the night, the light of day dawns upon you. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Continually eating all sorts of foods, the teeth in your mouth crumble, decay and fall out. Living in egotism and possessiveness, you are deluded; committing sins, you have no kindness for others. ॥1॥ The great sins are the terrible ocean of pain; the mortal is engrossed in them. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of his Lord and Master; taking him by the arm, God has lifted him up and out. ॥2॥24॥110॥ BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: God Himself has come into my consciousness. My enemies and opponents have grown weary of attacking me, and now, I have become happy, O my friends and Siblings of Destiny. ॥1॥ Pause॥ The disease is gone, and all misfortunes have been averted; the Creator Lord has made me His own. I have found peace, tranquility and total bliss, enshrining the Name of my Beloved Lord within my heart. ॥1॥ My soul, body and wealth are all Your capital; O God, You are my All-powerful Lord and Master. You are the Saving Grace of Your slaves; slave Nanak is forever Your slave. ॥2॥25॥111॥ BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Meditating in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe, I am emancipated. Suffering is eradicated, and true peace has come, meditating on the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ॥1॥ Pause॥ All beings belong to Him — He makes them happy. He is the true power of His humble devotees. He Himself saves and protects His slaves, who believe in their Creator, the Destroyer of fear. ॥1॥ I have found friendship, and hatred has been eradicated; the Lord has rooted out the enemies and villains. Nanak has been blessed with celestial peace and poise and total bliss; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, he lives. ॥2॥26॥112॥ BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: The Supreme Lord God has become Merciful. The True Guru has arranged all my affairs; chanting and meditating with the Holy Saints, I have become happy. ॥1॥ Pause॥ God has made me His own, and all my enemies have been reduced to dust.
