1Center your awareness on seva-selfless service-and focus your consciousness on the Word of the Shabad.

2Subduing your ego, you shall find a lasting peace, and your emotional attachment to Maya will be dispelled. ||1||

3I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, I am totally devoted to the True Guru.

4Through the Guru's Teachings, the Divine Light has dawned; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, night and day. ||1||Pause||

5Search your body and mind, and find the Name.

6Restrain your wandering mind, and keep it in check.

7Night and day, sing the Songs of the Guru's Bani; worship the Lord with intuitive devotion. ||2||

8Within this body are countless objects.

9The Gurmukh attains Truth, and comes to see them.

10Beyond the nine gates, the Tenth Gate is found, and liberation is obtained. The Unstruck Melody of the Shabad vibrates. ||3||

11True is the Master, and True is His Name.

12By Guru's Grace, He comes to dwell within the mind.

13Night and day, remain attuned to the Lord's Love forever, and you shall obtain understanding in the True Court. ||4||

14Those who do not understand the nature of sin and virtue

15are attached to duality; they wander around deluded.

16The ignorant and blind people do not know the way; they come and go in reincarnation over and over again. ||5||

17Serving the Guru, I have found eternal peace;

18my ego has been silenced and subdued.

19Through the Guru's Teachings, the darkness has been dispelled, and the heavy doors have been opened. ||6||

20Subduing my ego, I have enshrined the Lord within my mind.

21I focus my consciousness on the Guru's Feet forever.

22By Guru's Grace, my mind and body are immaculate and pure; I meditate on the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||7||

23From birth to death, everything is for You.

24You bestow greatness upon those whom You have forgiven.

25O Nanak, meditating forever on the Naam, you shall be blessed in both birth and death. ||8||1||2||

26Maajh, Third Mehla:

27My God is Immaculate, Inaccessible and Infinite.

28Without a scale, He weighs the universe.

29One who becomes Gurmukh, understands. Chanting His Glorious Praises, he is absorbed into the Lord of Virtue. ||1||

30I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those whose minds are filled with the Name of the Lord.

31Those who are committed to Truth remain awake and aware night and day. They are honored in the True Court. ||1||Pause||

32He Himself hears, and He Himself sees.

33Those, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace, become acceptable.

34They are attached, whom the Lord Himself attaches; as Gurmukh, they live the Truth. ||2||

35Those whom the Lord Himself misleads-whose hand can they take?

36That which is pre-ordained, cannot be erased.

37Those who meet the True Guru are very fortunate and blessed; through perfect karma, He is met. ||3||

38The young bride is fast asleep in her parents' home, night and day.

39She has forgotten her Husband Lord; because of her faults and demerits, she is abandoned.

40She wanders around continually, crying out, night and day. Without her Husband Lord, she cannot get any sleep. ||4||

41In this world of her parents' home, she may come to know the Giver of peace,

42if she subdues her ego, and recognizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

43Her bed is beautiful; she ravishes and enjoys her Husband Lord forever. She is adorned with the Decorations of Truth. ||5||
