1But if the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then He Himself embellishes us.

2O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meditate on the Lord; blessed and approved is their coming into the world. ||63||

3Yoga is not obtained by wearing saffron robes; Yoga is not obtained by wearing dirty robes.

4O Nanak, Yoga is obtained even while sitting in your own home, by following the Teachings of the True Guru. ||64||

5You may wander in all four directions, and read the Vedas throughout the four ages.

6O Nanak, if you meet with the True Guru, the Lord shall come to dwell within your mind, and you shall find the door of salvation. ||65||

7O Nanak, the Hukam, the Command of your Lord and Master, is prevailing. The intellectually confused person wanders around lost, misled by his fickle consciousness.

8If you make friends with the self-willed manmukhs, O friend, who can you ask for peace?

9Make friends with the Gurmukhs, and focus your consciousness on the True Guru.

10The root of birth and death will be cut away, and then, you shall find peace, O friend. ||66||

11The Lord Himself instructs those who are misguided, when He casts His Glance of Grace.

12O Nanak, those who are not blessed by His Glance of Grace, cry and weep and wail. ||67||

13Shalok, Fourth Mehla:

14One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

15Blessed and very fortunate are those happy soul-brides who, as Gurmukh, meet their Sovereign Lord King.

16The Light of God shines within them; O Nanak, they are absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

17Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, the Primal Being, who has realized the True Lord.

18Meeting Him, thirst is quenched, and the body and mind are cooled and soothed.

19Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, the True Primal Being, who looks upon all alike.

20Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, who has no hatred; slander and praise are all the same to Him.

21Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the All-knowing True Guru, who has realized God within.

22Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the Formless True Guru, who has no end or limitation.

23Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, who implants the Truth within.

24O Nanak, Blessed and Great is the True Guru, through whom the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is received. ||2||

25For the Gurmukh, the true Song of Praise is to chant the Name of the Lord God.

26Chanting the Praises of the Lord, their minds are in ecstasy.

27By great good fortune, they find the Lord, the Embodiment of perfect, supreme bliss.

28Servant Nanak praises the Naam, the Name of the Lord; no obstacle will block his mind or body. ||3||

29I am in love with my Beloved; how can I meet my Dear Friend?

30I seek that friend, who is embellished with Truth.

31The True Guru is my Friend; if I meet Him, I will offer this mind as a sacrifice to Him.

32He has shown me my Beloved Lord, my Friend, the Creator.

33O Nanak, I was searching for my Beloved; the True Guru has shown me that He has been with me all the time. ||4||

34I stand by the side of the road, waiting for You; O my Friend, I hope that You will come.

35If only someone would come today and unite me in Union with my Beloved.
