1The Gurmukh is immersed and absorbed in the Naam; Nanak meditates on the Naam. ||12||

2The Ambrosial Nectar of the Guru's Bani is in the mouth of the devotees.

3The Gurmukhs chant and repeat the Lord's Name.

4Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, their minds forever blossom forth; they focus their minds on the Lord's Feet. ||13||

5I am foolish and ignorant; I have no wisdom at all.

6From the True Guru, I have obtained understanding in my mind.

7O Dear Lord, please be kind to me, and grant Your Grace; let me be committed to serving the True Guru. ||14||

8Those who know the True Guru realize the One Lord.

9The Giver of peace is all-pervading, permeating everywhere.

10Understanding my own soul, I have obtained the Supreme Status; my awareness is immersed in selfless service. ||15||

11Those who are blessed with glorious greatness by the Primal Lord God

12are lovingly focused on the True Guru, who dwells within their minds.

13The Giver of life to the world Himself meets them; O Nanak, they are absorbed in His Being. ||16||1||

14Maaroo, Fourth Mehla:

15The Lord is inaccessible and unfathomable; He is eternal and imperishable.

16He dwells in the heart, and is all-pervading, permeating everywhere.

17There is no other Giver except Him; worship the Lord, O mortals. ||1||

18No one can kill anyone who is saved by the Savior Lord.

19So serve such a Lord, O Saints, whose Bani is exalted and sublime. ||2||

20When it seems that a place is empty and void,

21there, the Creator Lord is permeating and pervading.

22He causes the dried-up branch to blossom forth in greenery again; so meditate on the Lord - wondrous are His ways! ||3||

23The One who knows the anguish of all beings

24unto that Lord and Master, I am a sacrifice.

25Offer your prayers to the One who is the Giver of all peace and joy. ||4||

26But one who does not know the state of the soul

27do not say anything to such an ignorant person.

28Do not argue with fools, O mortals. Meditate on the Lord, in the state of Nirvaanaa. ||5||

29Don't worry - let the Creator take care of it.

30The Lord gives to all creatures in the water and on the land.

31My God bestows His blessings without being asked, even to worms in soil and stones. ||6||

32Do not place your hopes in friends, children and siblings.

33Do not place your hopes in kings or the business of others.

34Without the Lord's Name, no one will be your helper; so meditate on the Lord, the Lord of the world. ||7||

35Night and day, chant the Naam.

36All your hopes and desires shall be fulfilled.

37O servant Nanak, chant the Naam, the Name of the Destroyer of fear, and your life-night shall pass in intuitive peace and poise. ||8||

38Those who serve the Lord find peace.

39They are intuitively absorbed in the Lord's Name.

40The Lord preserves the honor of those who seek His Sanctuary; go and consult the Vedas and the Puraanas. ||9||

41That humble being is attached to the Lord's service, whom the Lord so attaches.

42Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, doubt and fear are dispelled.

43In his own home, he remains unattached, like the lotus flower in the water. ||10||
