1You Yourself created the counterfeit and the genuine.

2You Yourself appraise all people.

3You appraise the true, and place them in Your Treasury; You consign the false to wander in delusion. ||6||

4How can I behold You? How can I praise You?

5By Guru's Grace, I praise You through the Word of the Shabad.

6In Your Sweet Will, the Amrit is found; by Your Will, You inspire us to drink in this Amrit. ||7||

7The Shabad is Amrit; the Lord's Bani is Amrit.

8Serving the True Guru, it permeates the heart.

9O Nanak, the Ambrosial Naam is forever the Giver of peace; drinking in this Amrit, all hunger is satisfied. ||8||15||16||

10Maajh, Third Mehla:

11The Ambrosial Nectar rains down, softly and gently.

12How rare are those Gurmukhs who find it.

13Those who drink it in are satisfied forever. Showering His Mercy upon them, the Lord quenches their thirst. ||1||

14I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those Gurmukhs who drink in this Ambrosial Nectar.

15The tongue tastes the essence, and remains forever imbued with the Lord's Love, intuitively singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

16By Guru's Grace, intuitive understanding is obtained;

17subduing the sense of duality, they are in love with the One.

18When He bestows His Glance of Grace, then they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; by His Grace, they merge in Truth. ||2||

19Above all is Your Glance of Grace, O God.

20Upon some it is bestowed less, and upon others it is bestowed more.

21Without You, nothing happens at all; the Gurmukhs understand this. ||3||

22The Gurmukhs contemplate the essence of reality;

23Your Treasures are overflowing with Ambrosial Nectar.

24Without serving the True Guru, no one obtains it. It is obtained only by Guru's Grace. ||4||

25Those who serve the True Guru are beautiful.

26The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, entices their inner minds.

27Their minds and bodies are attuned to the Ambrosial Bani of the Word; this Ambrosial Nectar is intuitively heard. ||5||

28The deluded, self-willed manmukhs are ruined through the love of duality.

29They do not chant the Naam, and they die, eating poison.

30Night and day, they continually sit in manure. Without selfless service, their lives are wasted away. ||6||

31They alone drink in this Amrit, whom the Lord Himself inspires to do so.

32By Guru's Grace, they intuitively enshrine love for the Lord.

33The Perfect Lord is Himself perfectly pervading everywhere; through the Guru's Teachings, He is perceived. ||7||

34He Himself is the Immaculate Lord.

35He who has created, shall Himself destroy.

36O Nanak, remember the Naam forever, and you shall merge into the True One with intuitive ease. ||8||16||17||

37Maajh, Third Mehla:

38Those who please You are linked to the Truth.

39They serve the True One forever, with intuitive ease.

40Through the True Word of the Shabad, they praise the True One, and they merge in the merging of Truth. ||1||

41I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who praise the True One.

42Those who meditate on the True One are attuned to Truth; they are absorbed into the Truest of the True. ||1||Pause||

43The True One is everywhere, wherever I look.

44By Guru's Grace, I enshrine Him in my mind.

45True are the bodies of those whose tongues are attuned to Truth. They hear the Truth, and speak it with their mouths. ||2||
