1Serving the True Guru, one obtains intuitive bliss.

2The Lord of the Universe comes to dwell within the heart.

3He intuitively practices devotional worship day and night; God Himself practices devotional worship. ||4||

4Those who are separated from the True Guru, suffer in misery.

5Night and day, they are punished, and they suffer in total agony.

6Their faces are blackened, and they do not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. They suffer in sorrow and agony. ||5||

7Those who serve the True Guru are very fortunate.

8They intuitively enshrine love for the True Lord.

9They practice Truth, forever Truth; they are united in Union with the True Lord. ||6||

10He alone obtains the Truth, unto whom the True Lord gives it.

11His inner being is filled with Truth, and his doubt is dispelled.

12The True Lord Himself is the Giver of Truth; he alone obtains the Truth, unto whom He gives it. ||7||

13He Himself is the Creator of all.

14Only one whom He instructs, understands Him.

15He Himself forgives, and grants glorious greatness. He himself unites in His Union. ||8||

16Acting egotistically, one loses his life.

17Even in the world hereafter, emotioal attachment to Maya does not leave him.

18In the world hereafter, the Messenger of Death calls him to account, and crushes him like sesame seeds in the oil-press. ||9||

19By perfect destiny, one serves the Guru.

20If God grants His Grace, then one serves.

21The Messenger of Death cannot even approach him, and in the Mansion of the True Lord's Presence, he finds peace. ||10||

22They alone find peace, who are pleasing to Your Will.

23By perfect destiny, they are attached to the Guru's service.

24All glorious greatness rests in Your Hands; he alone obtains it, unto whom You give it. ||11||

25Through the Guru, one's inner being is enlightened and illumined.

26The wealth of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell in the mind.

27The jewel of spiritual wisdom ever illumines the heart, and the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled. ||12||

28The blind and ignorant are attached to duality.

29The unfortunates are drowned without water, and die.

30When they depart from the world, they do not find the Lord's door and home; bound and gagged at Death's door, they suffer in pain. ||13||

31Without serving the True Guru, no one finds liberation.

32Go ask any spiritual teacher or meditator.

33Whoever serves the True Guru is blessed with glorious greatness, and honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||14||

34One who serves the True Guru, the Lord merges into Himself.

35Cutting away attachment, one lovingly focuses on the True Lord.

36The merchants deal forever in Truth; they earn the profit of the Naam. ||15||

37The Creator Himself acts, and inspires all to act.

38He alone is liberated, who dies in the Word of the Shabad.

39O Nanak, the Naam dwells deep within the mind; meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||16||5||19||

40Maaroo, Third Mehla:

41Whatever You do, is done.

42How rare are those who walk in harmony with the Lord's Will.

43One who surrenders to the Lord's Will finds peace; he finds peace in the Lord's Will. ||1||

44Your Will is pleasing to the Gurmukh.

45Practicing Truth, he intuitively finds peace.

46Many long to walk in harmony with the Lord's Will; He Himself inspires us to surrender to His Will. ||2||

47One who surrenders to Your Will, meets with You, Lord.
