1He Himself is the Highest of the High.

2How rare are those who behold Him. He causes Himself to be seen.

3O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within the hearts of those who see the Lord themselves, and inspire others to see Him as well. ||8||26||27||

4Maajh, Third Mehla:

5My God is pervading and permeating all places.

6By Guru's Grace, I have found Him within the home of my own heart.

7I serve Him constantly, and I meditate on Him single-mindedly. As Gurmukh, I am absorbed in the True One. ||1||

8I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who enshrine the Lord, the Life of the World, within their minds.

9Through the Guru's Teachings, I merge with intuitive ease into the Lord, the Life of the World, the Fearless One, the Great Giver. ||1||Pause||

10Within the home of the self is the earth, its support and the nether regions of the underworld.

11Within the home of the self is the Eternally Young Beloved.

12The Giver of peace is eternally blissful. Through the Guru's Teachings, we are absorbed in intuitive peace. ||2||

13When the body is filled with ego and selfishness,

14the cycle of birth and death does not end.

15One who becomes Gurmukh subdues egotism, and meditates on the Truest of the True. ||3||

16Within this body are the two brothers, sin and virtue.

17When the two joined together, the Universe was produced.

18Subduing both, and entering into the Home of the One, through the Guru's Teachings, we are absorbed in intuitive peace. ||4||

19Within the home of the self is the darkness of the love of duality.

20When the Divine Light dawns, ego and selfishness are dispelled.

21The Giver of peace is revealed through the Shabad, meditating upon the Naam, night and day. ||5||

22Deep within the self is the Light of God; It radiates throughout the expanse of His creation.

23Through the Guru's Teachings, the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled.

24The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and eternal peace is obtained, as one's light merges into the Light. ||6||

25Within the mansion is the treasure house, overflowing with jewels.

26The Gurmukh obtains the Infinite Naam, the Name of the Lord.

27The Gurmukh, the trader, always purchases the merchandise of the Naam, and always reaps profits. ||7||

28The Lord Himself keeps this merchandise in stock, and He Himself distributes it.

29Rare is that Gurmukh who trades in this.

30O Nanak, those upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, obtain it. Through His Mercy, it is enshrined in the mind. ||8||27||28||

31Maajh, Third Mehla:

32The Lord Himself leads us to merge with Him and serve Him.

33Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the love of duality is eradicated.

34The Immaculate Lord is the Bestower of eternal virtue. The Lord Himself leads us to merge in His Virtuous Goodness. ||1||

35I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who enshrine the Truest of the True within their hearts.

36The True Name is eternally pure and immaculate. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is enshrined within the mind. ||1||Pause||

37The Guru Himself is the Giver, the Architect of Destiny.

38The Gurmukh, the humble servant who serves the Lord, comes to know Him.

39Those humble beings look beautiful forever in the Ambrosial Naam. Through the Guru's Teachings, they receive the sublime essence of the Lord. ||2||

40Within the cave of this body, there is one beautiful place.

41Through the Perfect Guru, ego and doubt are dispelled.

42Night and day, praise the Naam, the Name of the Lord; imbued with the Lord's Love, by Guru's Grace, you shall find Him. ||3||
