1He created the 8.4 million species of beings.

2Those, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace, come to meet the Guru.

3Shedding their sins, His servants are forever pure; at the True Court, they are beautified by the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||6||

4When they are called to settle their accounts, who will answer then?

5There shall be no peace then, from counting out by twos and threes.

6The True Lord God Himself forgives, and having forgiven, He unites them with Himself. ||7||

7He Himself does, and He Himself causes all to be done.

8Through the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect Guru, He is met.

9O Nanak, through the Naam, greatness is obtained. He Himself unites in His Union. ||8||2||3||

10Maajh, Third Mehla:

11The One Lord Himself moves about imperceptibly.

12As Gurmukh, I see Him, and then this mind is pleased and uplifted.

13Renouncing desire, I have found intuitive peace and poise; I have enshrined the One within my mind. ||1||

14I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who focus their consciousness on the One.

15Through the Guru's Teachings, my mind has come to its only home; it is imbued with the True Color of the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause||

16This world is deluded; You Yourself have deluded it.

17Forgetting the One, it has become engrossed in duality.

18Night and day, it wanders around endlessly, deluded by doubt; without the Name, it suffers in pain. ||2||

19Those who are attuned to the Love of the Lord, the Architect of Destiny

20by serving the Guru, they are known throughout the four ages.

21Those, upon whom the Lord bestows greatness, are absorbed in the Name of the Lord. ||3||

22Being in love with Maya, they do not think of the Lord.

23Bound and gagged in the City of Death, they suffer in terrible pain.

24Blind and deaf, they see nothing at all; the self-willed manmukhs rot away in sin. ||4||

25Those, whom You attach to Your Love, are attuned to Your Love.

26Through loving devotional worship, they become pleasing to Your Mind.

27They serve the True Guru, the Giver of eternal peace, and all their desires are fulfilled. ||5||

28O Dear Lord, I seek Your Sanctuary forever.

29You Yourself forgive us, and bless us with Glorious Greatness.

30The Messenger of Death does not draw near those who meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||6||

31Night and day, they are attuned to His Love; they are pleasing to the Lord.

32My God merges with them, and unites them in Union.

33Forever and ever, O True Lord, I seek the Protection of Your Sanctuary; You Yourself inspire us to understand the Truth. ||7||

34Those who know the Truth are absorbed in Truth.

35They sing the Lord's Glorious Praises, and speak the Truth.

36O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam remain unattached and balanced; in the home of the inner self, they are absorbed in the primal trance of deep meditation. ||8||3||4||

37Maajh, Third Mehla:

38One who dies in the Word of the Shabad is truly dead.

39Death does not crush him, and pain does not afflict him.

40His light merges and is absorbed into the Light, when he hears and merges in the Truth. ||1||

41I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to the Lord's Name, which brings us to glory.

42One who serves the True Guru, and focuses his consciousness on Truth, following the Guru's Teachings, is absorbed in intuitive peace and poise. ||1||Pause||

43This human body is transitory, and transitory are the garments it wears.

44Attached to duality, no one attains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.
