Soohee, Fifth Mehl:
The Simritees, the Vedas, the Puraanas and the other
holy scriptures proclaim
that without the Naam, everything is false and
worthless. ||1||
The infinite treasure of the Naam abides within the
minds of the devotees.
Birth and death, attachment and suffering, are
erased in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||
Those
who indulge in attachment, conflict and egotism shall surely weep and
cry.
Those who are separated from the Naam shall never find any peace.
||2||
Crying out, Mine! Mine!, he is bound in bondage.
Entangled
in Maya, he is reincarnated in heaven and hell. ||3||
Searching,
searching, searching, I have come to understand the essence of
reality.
Without the Naam, there is no peace at all, and the mortal will
surely fail. ||4|
Many come and go; they die, and die again, and are
reincarnated.
Without understanding, they are totally useless, and they
wander in reincarnation. ||5||
They alone join the Saadh Sangat, unto
whom the Lord becomes Merciful.
They chant and meditate on the Ambrosial
Name of the Lord. ||6||
Uncounted millions, so many they are endless,
search for Him.
But only that one, who understands his own self, sees God
near at hand. ||7||
Never forget me, O Great Giver - please bless me with
Your Naam.
To sing Your Glorious Praises day and night - O Nanak, this is
my heart-felt desire. ||8||2||5||16||
