1All the world continues coming and going in reincarnation. ||3||

2In the midst of this world, do seva,

3and you shall be given a place of honor in the Court of the Lord.

4Says Nanak, swing your arms in joy! ||4||33||

5Siree Raag, Third Mehla, First House:

6One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

7I serve my True Guru with single-minded devotion, and lovingly focus my consciousness on Him.

8The True Guru is the mind's desire and the sacred shrine of pilgrimage, for those unto whom He has given this understanding.

9The blessings of the wishes of the mind are obtained, and the fruits of one's desires.

10Meditate on the Name, worship the Name, and through the Name, you shall be absorbed in intuitive peace and poise. ||1||

11O my mind, drink in the Sublime Essence of the Lord, and your thirst shall be quenched.

12Those Gurmukhs who have tasted it remain intuitively absorbed in the Lord. ||1||Pause||

13Those who serve the True Guru obtain the Treasure of the Naam.

14Deep within, they are drenched with the Essence of the Lord, and the egotistical pride of the mind is subdued.

15The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and they intuitively center themselves in meditation.

16Their minds become pure, and they remain immersed in the Lord; they are honored in His Court. ||2||

17Those who serve the True Guru in this world are very rare.

18Those who keep the Lord enshrined in their hearts subdue egotism and possessiveness.

19I am a sacrifice to those who are in love with the Naam.

20Those who attain the Inexhaustible Name of the Infinite Lord remain happy throughout the four ages. ||3||

21Meeting with the Guru, the Naam is obtained, and the thirst of emotional attachment departs.

22When the mind is permeated with the Lord, one remains detached within the home of the heart.

23I am a sacrifice to those who enjoy the Sublime Taste of the Lord.

24O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, the True Name, the Treasure of Excellence, is obtained. ||4||1||34||

25Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

26People wear all sorts of costumes and wander all around, but in their hearts and minds, they practice deception.

27They do not attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and after death, they sink into manure. ||1||

28O mind, remain detached in the midst of your household.

29Practicing truth, self-discipline and good deeds, the Gurmukh is enlightened. ||1||Pause||

30Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the mind is conquered, and one attains the State of Liberation in one's own home.

31So meditate on the Name of the Lord; join and merge with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||2||

32You may enjoy the pleasures of hundreds of thousands of women, and rule the nine continents of the world.

33But without the True Guru, you will not find peace; you will be reincarnated over and over again. ||3||

34Those who wear the Necklace of the Lord around their necks, and focus their consciousness on the Guru's Feet

35-wealth and supernatural spiritual powers follow them, but they do not care for such things at all. ||4||

36Whatever pleases God's Will comes to pass. Nothing else can be done.

37Servant Nanak lives by chanting the Naam. O Lord, please give it to me, in Your Natural Way. ||5||2||35||
