1He is always near at hand; He is never far away.

2Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, realize that He is very near.

3Your heart-lotus shall blossom forth, and the ray of God's Divine Light shall illuminate your heart; He shall be revealed to You. ||15||

4The True Lord is Himself the Creator.

5He Himself kills, and gives life; there is no other at all.

6O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, glorious greatness is obtained. Eradicating self-conceit, peace is found. ||16||2||24||

7Maaroo, Solahas, Fourth Mehla:

8One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

9The Lord Lord Himself is the One who exalts and embellishes.

10Do not consider any other work.

11The True Lord abides deep within the heart of the Gurmukh, who intuitively merges in the True Lord. ||1||

12The True Lord dwells within the minds of all.

13By Guru's Grace, they are intuitively absorbed in Him.

14Calling out, ""Guru, Guru"", I have found eternal peace; my consciousness is focused on the Guru's feet. ||2||

15The True Guru is spiritual wisdom; the True Guru is worship and adoration.

16I serve the True Guru, and no other.

17From the True Guru, I have obtained the wealth, the jewel of the Naam. Service to the True Guru is pleasing to me. ||3||

18Without the True Guru, those who are attached to duality

19come and go, and wander in reincarnation; these unfortunate ones die.

20O Nanak, even after they are emancipated, those who become Gurmukh remain in the Guru's Sanctuary. ||4||

21The love of the Gurmukh is forever true.

22I beg for the invaluable Naam, the Name of the Lord, from the Guru.

23O Dear Lord, please be kind, and grant Your Grace; please keep me in the Guru's Sanctuary. ||5||

24The True Guru trickles the Ambrosial Nectar into my mouth.

25My Tenth Gate has been opened and revealed.

26The unstruck sound current of the Shabad vibrates and resounds there, with the melody of the Guru's Bani; one is easily, intuitively absorbed in the Lord. ||6||

27Those who are so pre-ordained by the Creator,

28pass their nights and days calling on the Guru.

29Without the True Guru, no one understands; focus your consciousness on the Guru's Feet. ||7||

30The Lord Himself blesses those with whom He is pleased.

31The Gurmukh receives the wealth of the Naam.

32When the Lord grants His Grace, He bestows the Naam; Nanak is immersed and absorbed in the Naam. ||8||

33The jewel of spiritual wisdom is revealed within the mind.

34The wealth of the Naam is easily, intuitively received.

35This glorious greatness is obtained from the Guru; I am forever a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||9||

36With the rising of the sun, the darkness of the night is dispelled.

37Spiritual ignorance is eradicated, by the priceless jewel of the Guru.

38The True Guru is the fantastically valuable jewel of spiritual wisdom; blessed by God's Mercy, peace is found. ||10||

39The Gurmukh obtains the Naam, and his good reputation increases.

40In all four ages he is considered to be pure and good.

41Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he finds peace. He remains lovingly focused on the Naam. ||11||

42The Gurmukh receives the Naam.

43In intuitive peace he wakes, and in intuitive peace he sleeps.
