1347

1In egotism, one cannot remain awake and aware, and one's devotional worship of the Lord is not accepted.

2The self-willed manmukhs find no place in the Court of the Lord; they do their deeds in the love of duality. ||4||

3Cursed is the food, and cursed are the clothes, of those who are attached to the love of duality.

4They are like maggots in manure, sinking into manure. In death and rebirth, they are wasted away to ruin. ||5||

5I am a sacrifice to those who meet with the True Guru.

6I shall continue to associate with them; devoted to Truth, I am absorbed in Truth. ||6||

7By perfect destiny, the Guru is found. He cannot be found by any efforts.

8Through the True Guru, intuitive wisdom wells up; through the Word of the Shabad, egotism is burnt away. ||7||

9O my mind, hurry to the Sanctuary of the Lord; He is Potent to do everything.

10O Nanak, never forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Whatever He does, comes to pass. ||8||2||7||2||9||

11Bibhaas, Prabhaatee, Fifth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa:

12One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

13Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse

14involved with them, people eat the food of bliss.

15The mind is entangled in sweet emotional attachment.

16Those who seek God's Glorious Virtues are the support of my breath of life. ||1||

17My One Lord is the Inner-Knower, the Searcher of hearts.

18He alone is my Support; He is my only Protection. My Great Lord and Master is over and above the heads of kings. ||1||Pause||

19I have broken my ties to that deceitful serpent.

20The Guru has told me that it is false and fraudulent.

21Its face is sweet, but it tastes very bitter.

22My mind remains satisfied with the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

23I have broken my ties with greed and emotional attachment.

24The Merciful Guru has rescued me from them.

25These cheating thieves have plundered so many homes.

26The Merciful Guru has protected and saved me. ||3||

27I have no dealings whatsoever with sexual desire and anger.

28I listen to the Guru's Teachings.

29Wherever I look, I see the most horrible goblins.

30My Guru, the Lord of the World, has saved me from them. ||4||

31I have made widows of the ten sensory organs.

32The Guru has told me that these pleasures are the fires of corruption.

33Those who associate with them go to hell.

34The Guru has saved me; I am lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||5||

35I have forsaken the advice of my ego.

36The Guru has told me that this is foolish stubbornness.

37This ego is homeless; it shall never find a home.

38The Guru has saved me; I am lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||6||

39I have become alienated from these people.

40We cannot both live together in one home.

41Grasping the hem of the Guru's Robe, I have come to God.

42Please be fair with me, All-knowing Lord God. ||7||

43God smiled at me and spoke, passing judgement.

44He made all the demons perform service for me.

45You are my Lord and Master; all this home belongs to You.

46Says Nanak, the Guru has passed judgement. ||8||1||
