1If the Lord Himself saves you, then you shall be saved. Dwell upon the Feet of the True Guru. ||4||

2O my dear beloved camel-like mind, dwell upon the Divine Light within the body.

3The Guru has shown me the nine treasures of the Naam. The Merciful Lord has bestowed this gift. ||5||

4O camel-like mind, you are so fickle; give up your cleverness and corruption.

5Dwell upon the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; at the very last moment, the Lord shall liberate you. ||6||

6O camel-like mind, you are so very fortunate; dwell upon the jewel of spiritual wisdom.

7You hold in your hands the sword of the Guru's spiritual wisdom; with this destroyer of death, kill the Messenger of Death. ||7||

8The treasure is deep within, O camel-like mind, but you wander around outside in doubt, searching for it.

9Meeting the Perfect Guru, the Primal Being, you shall discover that the Lord, your Best Friend, is with you. ||8||

10You are engrossed in pleasures, O camel-like mind; dwell upon the Lord's lasting love instead!

11The color of the Lord's Love never fades away; serve the Guru, and dwell upon the Word of the Shabad. ||9||

12We are birds, O camel-like mind; the Lord, the Immortal Primal Being, is the tree.

13The Gurmukhs are very fortunate - they find it. O servant Nanak, dwell upon the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||10||2||

14Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa:

15One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. By Guru's Grace:

16When this mind is filled with pride,

17then it wanders around like a madman and a lunatic.

18But when it becomes the dust of all,

19then it recognizes the Lord in each and every heart. ||1||

20The fruit of humility is intuitive peace and pleasure.

21My True Guru has given me this gift. ||1||Pause||

22When he believes others to be bad,

23then everyone lays traps for him.

24But when he stops thinking in terms of 'mine' and 'yours',

25then no one is angry with him. ||2||

26When he clings to 'my own, my own',

27then he is in deep trouble.

28But when he recognizes the Creator Lord,

29then he is free of torment. ||3||

30When he entangles himself in emotional attachment,

31he comes and goes in reincarnation, under the constant gaze of Death.

32But when all his doubts are removed,

33then there is no difference between him and the Supreme Lord God. ||4||

34When he perceives differences,

35then he suffers pain, punishment and sorrow.

36But when he recognizes the One and Only Lord,

37he understands everything. ||5||

38When he runs around for the sake of Maya and riches,

39he is not satisfied, and his desires are not quenched.

40But when he runs away from Maya,

41then the Goddess of Wealth gets up and follows him. ||6||

42When, by His Grace, the True Guru is met,

43the lamp is lit within the temple of the mind.

44When he realizes what victory and defeat really are,

45then he comes to appreciate the true value of his own home. ||7||
