1For the sake of poison, they act in greed and possessiveness, and evil-minded duality. ||9||

2The Perfect True Guru implants devotional worship within.

3Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he lovingly centers his consciousness on the Lord's Name.

4The Lord pervades his mind, body and heart; deep within, his mind is drenched with devotional worship and praise of the Lord. ||10||

5My True Lord God is the Destroyer of demons.

6Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His devotees are saved.

7My True Lord God is forever True. He is the Emperor over the heads of kings. ||11||

8True are those devotees, who are pleasing to Your Mind.

9They sing the Kirtan of His Praises at His Door; they are embellished and exalted by the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

10Night and day, they sing the True Word of His Bani. The Naam is the wealth of the poor. ||12||

11Those whom You unite, Lord, are never separated again.

12Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they praise You forever.

13You are the One Lord and Master over all. Through the Shabad, the Naam is praised. ||13||

14Without the Shabad, no one knows You.

15You Yourself speak the Unspoken Speech.

16You Yourself are the Shabad forever, the Guru, the Great Giver; chanting the Lord's Name, You bestow Your treasure. ||14||

17You Yourself are the Creator of the Universe.

18No one can erase what You have written.

19You Yourself bless the Gurmukh with the Naam, who is no longer skeptical, and is not held to account. ||15||

20Your true devotees stand at the Door of Your Court.

21They serve the Shabad with love and affection.

22O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam remain detached; through the Naam, their affairs are resolved. ||16||3||12||

23Maaroo, Third Mehla:

24My True Lord God has staged a play.

25He has created no one like anyone else.

26He made them different, and he gazes upon them with pleasure; he placed all the flavors in the body. ||1||

27You Yourself vibrate the beat of the breath.

28Shiva and Shakti, energy and matter - You have placed them into the body.

29By Guru's Grace, one turns away from the world, and attains the jewel of spiritual wisdom, and the Word of the Shabad. ||2||

30He Himself created darkness and light.

31He alone is pervasive; there is no other at all.

32One who realizes his own self - by Guru's Grace, the lotus of his mind blossoms forth. ||3||

33Only He Himself knows His depth and extent.

34Other people can only listen and hear what is spoken and said.

35One who is spiritually wise, understands himself as Gurmukh; he praises the True Lord. ||4||

36Deep within the body is the priceless object.

37He Himself opens the doors.

38The Gurmukh intuitively drings in the Ambrosial Nectar, and the fire of desire is quenched. ||5||

39He placed all the flavors within the body.

40How rare are those who understand, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

41So search within yourself, and praise the Shabad. Why run around outside your self? ||6||

42Without tasting, no one enjoys the flavor.

43Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar.

44The Ambrosial Nectar is drunk, and the immoral status is obtained, when one obtains the sublime essence of the Guru's Shabad. ||7||

45One who realizes himself, knows all virtues.
