3He sees the Dear Lord always close at hand, ever-present.

4Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he sees the Lord pervading and permeating all. ||3||

5The Lord cherishes all beings and creatures.

6By Guru's Grace, contemplate Him forever.

7You shall go to your true home in the Lord's Court with honor.

8O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you shall be blessed with glorious greatness. ||4||3||

9Basant, Third Mehla:

10One who worships the Lord within his mind,

11sees the One and Only Lord, and no other.

12People in duality suffer terrible pain.

13The True Guru has shown me the One Lord. ||1||

14My God is in bloom, forever in spring.

15This mind blossoms forth, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

16So consult the Guru, and reflect upon His wisdom;

17then, you shall be in love with the True Lord God.

18Abandon your self-conceit, and be His loving servant.

19Then, the Life of the World shall come to dwell in your mind. ||2||

20Worship Him with devotion, and see Him always ever-present, close at hand.

21My God is forever permeating and pervading all.

22Only a rare few know the mystery of this devotional worship.

23My God is the Enlightener of all souls. ||3||

24The True Guru Himself unites us in His Union.

25He Himself links our consciousness to the Lord, the Life of the World.

26Thus, our minds and bodies are rejuvenated with intuitive ease.

27O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, we remain attuned to the String of His Love. ||4||4||

41Without the Lord's Name, the world is dry and parched.

42It burns in the fire of desire, over and over again. ||3||

43One who does only that which is pleasing to the Dear Lord

44- his body is forever at peace, and his consciousness is attached to the Lord's Will.

53loving the True Guru, it bears the fruit of truth. ||1||Pause||

54He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away.

55Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is seen to be ever-present, close at hand.

56The plants have blossomed forth, giving a dense shade.

57The Gurmukh blossoms forth, with intuitive ease. ||2||

59The True Guru drives out sin and doubt from within.
