233

1The mind is attuned to the Word of the Shabad; it is lovingly attuned to the Lord.

2It abides within its own home, in harmony with the Lord's Will. ||1||

3Serving the True Guru, egotistical pride departs,

4and the Lord of the Universe, the Treasure of Excellence, is obtained. ||1||Pause||

5The mind becomes detached and free of desire, when it experiences the Fear of God, through the Shabad.

6My Immaculate God is pervading and contained among all.

7By Guru's Grace, one is united in His Union. ||2||

8The slave of the Lord's slave attains peace.

9My Lord God is found in this way.

10By the Grace of the Lord, one comes to sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

11Cursed is that long life, during which love for the Lord's Name is not enshrined.

12Cursed is that comfortable bed which lures one into the darkness of attachment to sexual desire.

13Fruitful is the birth of that person who takes the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||

14Cursed, cursed is that home and family, in which the love of the Lord is not embraced.

15He alone is my friend, who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

16Without the Lord's Name, there is no other for me. ||5||

17From the True Guru, I have obtained salvation and honor.

18I have meditated on the Name of the Lord, and all my sufferings have been erased.

19I am in constant bliss, lovingly attuned to the Lord's Name. ||6||

20Meeting the Guru, I came to understand my body.

21The fires of ego and desire have been totally quenched.

22Anger has been dispelled, and I have grasped hold of tolerance. ||7||

23The Lord Himself showers His Mercy, and bestows the Naam.

24How rare is that Gurmukh, who receives the jewel of the Naam.

25O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the Unknowable, the Incomprehensible. ||8||8||

26One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

27Raag Gauree Bairaagan, Third Mehla:

28Those who turn their faces away from the True Guru, are seen to be unfaithful and evil.

29They shall be bound and beaten night and day; they shall not have this opportunity again. ||1||

30O Lord, please shower Your Mercy upon me, and save me!

31O Lord God, please lead me to meet the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, that I may dwell upon the Glorious Praises of the Lord within my heart. ||1||Pause||

32Those devotees are pleasing to the Lord, who as Gurmukh, walk in harmony with the Way of the Lord's Will.

33Subduing their selfishness and conceit, and performing selfless service, they remain dead while yet alive. ||2||

34The body and the breath of life belong to the One - perform the greatest service to Him.

35Why forget Him from your mind? Keep the Lord enshrined in your heart. ||3||

36Receiving the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one obtains honor; believing in the Naam, one is at peace.

37The Naam is obtained from the True Guru; by His Grace, God is found. ||4||

38They turn their faces away from the True Guru; they continue to wander aimlessly.

39They are not accepted by the earth or the sky; they fall into manure, and rot. ||5||

40This world is deluded by doubt - it has taken the drug of emotional attachment.

41Maya does not draw near those who have met with the True Guru. ||6||

42Those who serve the True Guru are very beautiful; they cast off the filth of selfishness and conceit.
