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 ||
