1You Yourself create, destroy and adorn. O Nanak, we are adorned and embellished with the Naam. ||8||5||6||

2Maajh, Third Mehla:

3He is the Enjoyer of all hearts.

4The Invisible, Inaccessible and Infinite is pervading everywhere.

5Meditating on my Lord God, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I am intuitively absorbed in the Truth. ||1||

6I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who implant the Word of the Guru's Shabad in their minds.

7When someone understands the Shabad, then he wrestles with his own mind; subduing his desires, he merges with the Lord. ||1||Pause||

8The five enemies are plundering the world.

9The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not understand or appreciate this.

10Those who become Gurmukh-their houses are protected. The five enemies are destroyed by the Shabad. ||2||

11The Gurmukhs are forever imbued with love for the True One.

12They serve God with intuitive ease. Night and day, they are intoxicated with His Love.

13Meeting with their Beloved, they sing the Glorious Praises of the True one; they are honored in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

14First, the One created Himself;

15second, the sense of duality; third, the three-phased Maya.

16The fourth state, the highest, is obtained by the Gurmukh, who practices Truth, and only Truth. ||4||

17Everything which is pleasing to the True Lord is true.

18Those who know the Truth merge in intuitive peace and poise.

19The life-style of the Gurmukh is to serve the True Lord. He goes and blends with the True Lord. ||5||

20Without the True One, there is no other at all.

21Attached to duality, the world is distracted and distressed to death.

22One who becomes Gurmukh knows only the One. Serving the One, peace is obtained. ||6||

23All beings and creatures are in the Protection of Your Sanctuary.

24You place the chessmen on the board; You see the imperfect and the perfect as well.

25Night and day, You cause people to act; You unite them in Union with Yourself. ||7||

26You Yourself unite, and You see Yourself close at hand.

27You Yourself are totally pervading amongst all.

28O Nanak, God Himself is pervading and permeating everywhere; only the Gurmukhs understand this. ||8||6||7||

29Maajh, Third Mehla:

30The Nectar of the Guru's Bani is very sweet.

31Rare are the Gurmukhs who see and taste it.

32The Divine Light dawns within, and the supreme essence is found. In the True Court, the Word of the Shabad vibrates. ||1||

33I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who focus their consciousness on the Guru's Feet.

34The True Guru is the True Pool of Nectar; bathing in it, the mind is washed clean of all filth. ||1||Pause||

35Your limits, O True Lord, are not known to anyone.

36Rare are those who, by Guru's Grace, focus their consciousness on You.

37Praising You, I am never satisfied; such is the hunger I feel for the True Name. ||2||

38I see only the One, and no other.

39By Guru's Grace, I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar.

40My thirst is quenched by the Word of the Guru's Shabad; I am absorbed in intuitive peace and poise. ||3||

41The Priceless Jewel is discarded like straw;

42the blind self-willed manmukhs are attached to the love of duality.

43As they plant, so do they harvest. They shall not obtain peace, even in their dreams. ||4||

44Those who are blessed with His Mercy find the Lord.

45The Word of the Guru's Shabad abides in the mind.
