Guru’s Sanctuary Grants one Consummation. {236.}
****

“I bow in reverence to the Lord, I bow in reverence.
I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, my King.
By great good fortune, one meets the Divine Guru.
Millions of sins are erased by serving the Lord.
One whose mind is imbued with the Lord’s lotus feet
is not afflicted by the fire of sorrow.
He crosses over the world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat,
the Company of the Holy.
He chants the Name of the Fearless Lord,
and is imbued with the Lord’s Love.
One who does not steal the wealth of others,
who does not commit evil deeds or sinful acts,
the Messenger of Death does not even approach him.
God Himself quenches the fires of desire.
O Nanak, in God’s Sanctuary, one is saved.

---- Guru Nanak Dev; The Guru Granth Sahib.

“The Lord is always with me.
The Messenger of Death does not approach me.
God holds me close in His embrace,
and protects me.
True are the Teachings of the True Guru.
The Perfect Guru has done it perfectly.
He has beaten and driven off my enemies,
and given me, His slave,
the sublime understanding of the neutral mind.
God has blessed all places with prosperity.
I have returned again safe and sound.
Nanak has entered God’s Sanctuary.
It has eradicated all disease.”

---- Guru Nanak Dev; The Guru Granth Sahib.
