1Imbued with the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they remain forever detached. They are honored in the True Court of the Lord. ||2||

2This mind plays, subject to the Lord's Will; in an instant, it wanders out in the ten directions and returns home again.

3When the True Lord God Himself bestows His Glance of Grace, then this mind is instantly brought under control by the Gurmukh. ||3||

4The mortal comes to know the ways and means of the mind, realizing and contemplating the Shabad.

5O Nanak, meditate forever on the Naam, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||4||6||

6Malaar, Third Mehla:

7Soul, body and breath of life are all His; He is permeating and pervading each and every heart.

8Except the One Lord, I do not know any other at all. The True Guru has revealed this to me. ||1||

9O my mind, remain lovingly attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

10Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I meditate on the Lord, the Unseen, Unfathomable and Infinite Creator. ||1||Pause||

11Mind and body are pleased, lovingly attuned to the One Lord, intuitively absorbed in peace and poise.

12By Guru's Grace, doubt and fear are dispelled, being lovingly attuned to the One Name. ||2||

13When the mortal follows the Guru's Teachings, and lives the Truth, then he attains the state of emancipation.

14Among millions, how rare is that one who understands, and is lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord. ||3||

15Wherever I look, there I see the One. This understanding has come through the Guru's Teachings.

16I place my mind, body and breath of life in offering before Him; O Nanak, self-conceit is gone. ||4||7||

17Malaar, Third Mehla:

18My True Lord God, the Eradicator of suffering, is found through the Word of the Shabad.

19Imbued with devotional worship, the mortal remains forever detached. He is honored in the True Court of the Lord. ||1||

20O mind, remain absorbed in the Mind.

21The mind of the Gurmukh is pleased with the Lord's Name, lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

22My God is totally Inaccessible and Unfathomable; through the Guru's Teachings, He is understood.

23True self-discipline rests in singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2||

24He Himself is the Shabad, and He Himself is the True Teachings; He merges our light into the Light.

25The breath vibrates through this frail body; the Gurmukh obtains the ambrosial nectar. ||3||

26He Himself fashions, and He Himself links us to our tasks; the True Lord is pervading everywhere.

27O Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, no one is anything. Through the Naam,we are blessed with glory. ||4||8||

28Malaar, Third Mehla:

29The mortal is enticed by the poison of corruption, burdened with such a heavy load.

30The Lord has placed the magic spell of the Shabad into his mouth, and destroyed the poison of ego. ||1||

31O mortal, egotism and attachment are such heavy loads of pain.

32This terrifying world-ocean cannot be crossed; through the Lord's Name, the Gurmukh crosses over to the other side. ||1||Pause||

33Attachment to the three-phased show of Maya pervades all the created forms.

34In the Sat Sangat, the Society of the Saints, the state of supreme awareness is attained. The Merciful Lord carries us across. ||2||

35The smell of sandalwood is so sublime; its fragrance spreads out far and wide.
