1Subduing their desires, they merge with the True One;

2they see in their minds that everyone comes and goes in reincarnation.

3Serving the True Guru, they become stable forever, and they obtain their dwelling in the home of the self. ||3||

4Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord is seen within one's own heart.

5Through the Shabad, I have burned my emotional attachment to Maya.

6I gaze upon the Truest of the True, and I praise Him. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I obtain the True One. ||4||

7Those who are attuned to Truth are blessed with the Love of the True One.

8Those who praise the Lord's Name are very fortunate.

9Through the Word of His Shabad, the True One blends with Himself, those who join the True Congregation and sing the Glorious Praises of the True One. ||5||

10We could read the account of the Lord, if He were in any account.

11He is Inaccessible and Incomprehensible; through the Shabad, understanding is obtained.

12Night and day, praise the True Word of the Shabad. There is no other way to know His Worth. ||6||

13People read and recite until they grow weary, but they do not find peace.

14Consumed by desire, they have no understanding at all.

15They purchase poison, and they are thirsty with their fascination for poison. Telling lies, they eat poison. ||7||

16By Guru's Grace, I know the One.

17Subduing my sense of duality, my mind is absorbed into the True One.

18O Nanak, the One Name is pervading deep within my mind; by Guru's Grace, I receive it. ||8||17||18||

19Maajh, Third Mehla:

20In all colors and forms, You are pervading.

21People die over and over again; they are re-born, and make their rounds on the wheel of reincarnation.

22You alone are Eternal and Unchanging, Inaccessible and Infinite. Through the Guru's Teachings, understanding is imparted. ||1||

23I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who enshrine the Lord's Name in their minds.

24The Lord has no form, features or color. Through the Guru's Teachings, He inspires us to understand Him. ||1||Pause||

25The One Light is all-pervading; only a few know this.

26Serving the True Guru, this is revealed.

27In the hidden and in the obvious, He is pervading all places. Our light merges into the Light. ||2||

28The world is burning in the fire of desire,

29in greed, arrogance and excessive ego.

30People die over and over again; they are re-born, and lose their honor. They waste away their lives in vain. ||3||

31Those who understand the Word of the Guru's Shabad are very rare.

32Those who subdue their egotism, come to know the three worlds.

33Then, they die, never to die again. They are intuitively absorbed in the True One. ||4||

34They do not focus their consciousness on Maya again.

35They remain absorbed forever in the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

36They praise the True One, who is contained deep within all hearts. They are blessed and exalted by the Truest of the True. ||5||

37Praise the True One, who is Ever-present.

38Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is pervading everywhere.

39By Guru's Grace, we come to behold the True One; from the True One, peace is obtained. ||6||

40The True One permeates and pervades the mind within.

41The True One is Eternal and Unchanging; He does not come and go in reincarnation.

42Those who are attached to the True One are immaculate and pure. Through the Guru's Teachings, they merge in the True One. ||7||

43Praise the True One, and no other.

44Serving Him, eternal peace is obtained.
