1The love of Maya makes this mind dance, and the deceit within makes people suffer in pain. ||4||

2When the Lord inspires one to become Gurmukh, and perform devotional worship,

3then his body and mind are attuned to His Love with intuitive ease.

4The Word of His Bani vibrates, and the Word of His Shabad resounds, for the Gurmukh whose devotional worship is accepted. ||5||

5One may beat upon and play all sorts of instruments,

6but no one will listen, and no one will enshrine it in the mind.

7For the sake of Maya, they set the stage and dance, but they are in love with duality, and they obtain only sorrow. ||6||

8Those whose inner beings are attached to the Lord's Love are liberated.

9They control their sexual desires, and their lifestyle is the self-discipline of Truth.

10Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they meditate forever on the Lord. This devotional worship is pleasing to the Lord. ||7||

11To live as Gurmukh is devotional worship, throughout the four ages.

12This devotional worship is not obtained by any other means.

13O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained only through devotion to the Guru. So focus your consciousness on the Guru's Feet. ||8||20||21||

14Maajh, Third Mehla:

15Serve the True One, and praise the True One.

16With the True Name, pain shall never afflict you.

17Those who serve the Giver of peace find peace. They enshrine the Guru's Teachings within their minds. ||1||

18I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who intuitively enter into the peace of Samaadhi.

19Those who serve the Lord are always beautiful. The glory of their intuitive awareness is beautiful. ||1||Pause||

20All call themselves Your devotees,

21but they alone are Your devotees, who are pleasing to Your mind.

22Through the True Word of Your Bani, they praise You; attuned to Your Love, they worship You with devotion. ||2||

23All are Yours, O Dear True Lord.

24Meeting the Gurmukh, this cycle of reincarnation comes to an end.

25When it pleases Your Will, then we merge in the Name. You Yourself inspire us to chant the Name. ||3||

26Through the Guru's Teachings, I enshrine the Lord within my mind.

27Pleasure and pain, and all emotional attachments are gone.

28I am lovingly centered on the One Lord forever. I enshrine the Lord's Name within my mind. ||4||

29Your devotees are attuned to Your Love; they are always joyful.

30The nine treasures of the Naam come to dwell within their minds.

31By perfect destiny, they find the True Guru, and through the Word of the Shabad, they are united in the Lord's Union. ||5||

32You are Merciful, and always the Giver of peace.

33You Yourself unite us; You are known only to the Gurmukhs.

34You Yourself bestow the glorious greatness of the Naam; attuned to the Naam, we find peace. ||6||

35Forever and ever, O True Lord, I praise You.

36As Gurmukh, I know no other at all.

37My mind remains immersed in the One Lord; my mind surrenders to Him, and in my mind I meet Him. ||7||

38One who becomes Gurmukh, praises the Lord.

39Our True Lord and Master is Carefree.

40O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within the mind; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, we merge with the Lord. ||8||21||22||

41Maajh, Third Mehla:

42Your devotees look beautiful in the True Court.

43Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are adorned with the Naam.

44They are forever in bliss, day and night; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, they merge with the Lord of Glory. ||1||
