The Guru Granth Sahib - Chaubolas, Fifth Mehl

Section 39 - Chaubolas, Fifth Mehl - Part 001
Is there any such friend, who can untie this difficult knot?
O Nanak, the One Supreme Lord and Master of the earth reunites
the separated ones. ||15||
I run around in all directions,
searching for the love of God.
The five evil enemies are
tormenting me; how can I destroy them?
Shoot them with the sharp arrows of meditation on the Name
of God.
O Lord! The way to slaughter these terrible sadistic
enemies is obtained from the Perfect Guru. ||16||
The True
Guru has blessed me with the bounty which shall never be exhausted.
Eating and consuming it, all the Gurmukhs are emancipated.
The Lord, in His Mercy, has blessed me with the treasure of
the Ambrosial Naam.
O Nanak, worship and adore the Lord,
who never dies. ||17||
Wherever the Lord's devotee goes is
a blessed, beautiful place.
All comforts are obtained, meditating
on the Lord's Name.
People praise and congratulate the devotee
of the Lord, while the slanderers rot and die.
Says Nanak,
O friend, chant the Naam, and your mind shall be filled with
bliss. ||18||
The mortal never serves the Immaculate Lord,
the Purifier of sinners.
The mortal wastes away in false
pleasures. How long can this go on?
Why do you take such
pleasure, looking at this mirage?
O Lord! I am a sacrifice
to those who are known and approved in the Court of the Lord.
||19||
The fool commits countless foolish actions and so
many sinful mistakes.
The fool's body smells rotten, and
turns to dust.
He wanders lost in the darkness of pride,
and never thinks of dying.
O Lord! The mortal gazes upon
the mirage; why does he think it is true? ||20||
When someone's days are over, who can save him?
How long
can the physicians go on, suggesting various therapies?
You
fool, remember the One Lord; only He shall be of use to you
in the end.
O Lord! Without the Name, the body turns to dust,
and everything goes to waste. ||21||
Drink in the medicine
of the Incomparable, Priceless Name.
Meeting and joining
together, the Saints drink it in, and give it to everyone.
He alone is blessed with it, who is destined to receive it.
O Lord! I am a sacrifice to those who enjoy the Love of the
Lord. ||22||
The physicians meet together in their assembly.
The medicines are effective, when the Lord Himself stands in
their midst.
Their good deeds and karma become apparent.
O Lord! Pains, diseases and sins all vanish from their bodies.
||23||
Chaubolas, Fifth Mehl:
One Universal Creator God.
By The Grace Of The True Guru:
O Samman, if one could buy
this love with money,
then consider Raawan the king. He was
not poor, but he could not buy it, even though he offered his
head to Shiva. ||1||
My body is drenched in love and affection
for the Lord; there is no distance at all between us.
My
mind is pierced through by the Lotus Feet of the Lord. He is
realized when one's intuitive consciousness is attuned to Him.
