1In love and attachment to Maya, he has no understanding at all.

2The blind, self-willed manmukh sees nothing; through the Guru's Teachings, the Naam is gloriously revealed. ||14||

3The manmukhs are asleep in egotism and Maya.

4They do not watch over their own homes, and are ruined in the end.

5They slander others, and burn in great anxiety; they dwell in pain and suffering. ||15||

6The Creator Himself has created the creation.

7He blesses the Gurmukh with understanding.

8O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam - their minds become immaculate; they dwell in the Naam, and only the Naam. ||16||5||

9Maaroo, Third Mehla:

10I serve the One Lord, who is eternal, stable and True.

11Attached to duality, the whole world is false.

12Following the Guru's Teachings, I praise the True Lord forever, pleased with the Truest of the True. ||1||

13Your Glorious Virtues are so many, Lord; I do not know even one.

14The Life of the world, the Great Giver, attaches us to himself.

15He Himself forgives, and bestows glorious greatness. Following the Guru's Teachings, this mind is delighted. ||2||

16The Word of the Shabad has subdued the waves of Maya.

17Egotism has been conquered, and this mind has become immaculate.

18I intuitively sing His Glorious Praises, imbued with the Lord's Love. My tongue chants and savors the Lord's Name. ||3||

19Crying out, ""Mine, mine!"" he spends his life.

20The self-willed manmukh does not understand; he wanders around in ignorance.

21The Messenger of Death watches over him every moment, every instant; night and day, his life is wasting away. ||4||

22He practices greed within, and does not understand.

23He does not see the Messenger of Death hovering over his head.

24Whatever one does in this world, will come to face him in the hereafter; what can he do at that very last moment? ||5||

25Those who are attached to the Truth are true.

26The self-willed manmukhs, attached to duality, weep and wail.

27He is the Lord and Master of both worlds; He Himself delights in virtue. ||6||

28Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His humble servant is exalted forever.

29This mind is enticed by the Naam, the source of nectar.

30It is not stained at all by the dirt of attachment to Maya; through the Guru's Teachings, it is pleased and saturated with the Lord's Name. ||7||

31The One Lord is contained within all.

32By Guru's Grace, He is revealed.

33One who subdues his ego, finds lasting peace; he drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar of the True Name. ||8||

34God is the Destroyer of sin and pain.

35The Gurmukh serves Him, and contemplates the Word of the Shabad.

36He Himself is pervading everything. The Gurmukh's body and mind are saturated and pleased. ||9||

37The world is burning in the fire of Maya.

38The Gurmukh extinguishes this fire, by contemplating the Shabad.

39Deep within are peace and tranquility, and lasting peace is obtained. Following the Guru's Teachings, one is blessed with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||10||

40Even Indra, seated upon his throne, is caught in the fear of death.

41The Messenger of Death will not spare them, even though they try all sorts of things.

42When one meets with the True Guru, one is liberated, drinking in and savoring the sublime essence of the Lord, Har, Har. ||11||

43There is no devotion within the self-willed manmukh.

44Through devotional worship, the Gurmukh obtains peace and tranquility.

45Forever pure and sanctified is the Word of the Guru's Bani; following the Guru's Teachings, one's inner being is drenched in it. ||12||

46I have considered Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

47They are bound by the three qualities - the three gunas; they are far away from liberation.
