ੴ

Salok, Fifth Mehl:

Millions of obstacles stand in the way of one who forgets the Name.

O Nanak, night and day, he croaks like a raven in a deserted house. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

Beauteous is that season, when I am united with my Beloved.

I do not forget Him for a moment or an instant; O Nanak, I contemplate Him constantly. ||2||

Pauree:

Even brave and mighty men cannot withstand the powerful

And overwhelming army which the five passions have gathered.

The ten organs of sensation attach even detached renunciates to sensory pleasures.

They seek to conquer and overpower them, and so increase their following.

The world of the three dispositions is under their influence; no one can stand against them.

So tell me - how can the fort of doubt and the moat of Maya be overcome?

Worshipping the Perfect Guru, this awesome force is subdued.

I stand before Him, day and night, with my palms pressed together. ||15||
