1The Perfect True Guru has imparted this understanding.

2I have enshrined the Naam, the One Name, within my mind.

3I chant the Naam, and meditate on the Naam. Singing His Glorious Praises, I enter the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||11||

4The servant serves, and obeys the Command of the Infinite Lord.

5The self-willed manmukhs do not know the value of the Lord's Command.

6By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, one is exalted; by His Hukam, one is glorified; by His Hukam, one becomes carefree. ||12||

7By Guru's Grace, one recognizes the Lord's Hukam.

8The wandering mind is restrained, and brought back to the home of the One Lord.

9Imbued with the Naam, one remains forever detached; the jewel of the Naam rests within the mind. ||13||

10The One Lord is pervasive throughout all the world.

11By Guru's Grace, He is revealed.

12Those humble beings who praise the Shabad are immaculate; they dwell within the home of their own inner self. ||14||

13The devotees abide forever in Your Sanctuary, Lord.

14You are inaccessible and unfathomable; Your value cannot be estimated.

15As it pleases Your Will, You keep us; the Gurmukh meditates on the Naam. ||15||

16Forever and ever, I sing Your Glorious Praises.

17O my True Lord and Master, may I become pleasing to Your Mind.

18Nanak offers this true prayer: O Lord, please bless me with Truth, that I may merge in the Truth. ||16||1||10||

19Maaroo, Third Mehla:

20Those who serve the True Guru are very fortunate.

21Night and day, they remain lovingly attuned to the True Name.

22The Lord, the Giver of peace, abides forever deep within their hearts; they delight in the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||

23When the Lord grants His Grace, one meets with the Guru.

24The Name of the Lord is enshrined within the mind.

25The Lord, the Giver of peace, abides forever within the mind; the mind is delighted with the Word of the Shabad. ||2||

26When the Lord bestows His Mercy, He unites in His Union.

27Egotism and attachment are burned away by the Shabad.

28In the Love of the One Lord, one remains liberated forever; he is not in conflict with anyone. ||3||

29Without serving the True Guru, there is only pitch-black darkness.

30Without the Shabad, no one crosses over to the other side.

31Those who are imbued with the Shabad, are very detached. They earn the profit of the True Word of the Shabad. ||4||

32Pain and pleasure are pre-ordained by the Creator.

33He Himself has caused the love of duality to be pervasive.

34One who becomes Gurmukh remains detached; how can anyone trust the self-willed manmukh? ||5||

35Those who do not recognize the Shabad are manmukhs.

36They do not know the essence of the Fear of the Guru.

37Without this Fear, how can anyone find the Fearless True Lord? The Messenger of Death will pull the breath out. ||6||

38The invulnerable Messenger of Death cannot be killed.

39The Word of the Guru's Shabad prevents him from approaching.

40When he hears the Word of the Shabad, he runs far away. He is afraid that the self-sufficient Dear Lord will kill him. ||7||

41The Dear Lord is the Ruler above all.

42What can this wretched Messenger of Death do?

43As slave to the Hukam of the Lord's Command, the mortal acts according to His Hukam. According to His Hukam, he is deprived of his breath. ||8||

44The Gurmukh realizes that the True Lord created the creation.

45The Gurmukh knows that the Lord has expanded the entire expanse.

46One who becomes Gurmukh, understands the True Lord. Through the True Word of the Shabad, he finds peace. ||9||

47The Gurmukh knows that the Lord is the Architect of karma.
