30

1Become Gurmukh, and meditate forever on the Dear Lord, the One and Only Creator. ||1||Pause||

2The faces of the Gurmukhs are radiant and bright; they reflect on the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

3They obtain peace in this world and the next, chanting and meditating within their hearts on the Lord.

4Within the home of their own inner being, they obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, reflecting on the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

5Those who turn their faces away from the True Guru shall have their faces blackened.

6Night and day, they suffer in pain; they see the noose of Death always hovering above them.

7Even in their dreams, they find no peace; they are consumed by the fires of intense anxiety. ||3||

8The One Lord is the Giver of all; He Himself bestows all blessings.

9No one else has any say in this; He gives just as He pleases.

10O Nanak, the Gurmukhs obtain Him; He Himself knows Himself. ||4||9||42||

11Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

12Serve your True Lord and Master, and you shall be blessed with true greatness.

13By Guru's Grace, He abides in the mind, and egotism is driven out.

14This wandering mind comes to rest, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. ||1||

15O Siblings of Destiny, become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Name of the Lord.

16The Treasure of the Naam abides forever within the mind, and one's place of rest is found in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||

17The minds and bodies of the self-willed manmukhs are filled with darkness; they find no shelter, no place of rest.

18Through countless incarnations they wander lost, like crows in a deserted house.

19Through the Guru's Teachings, the heart is illuminated. Through the Shabad, the Name of the Lord is received. ||2||

20In the corruption of the three qualities, there is blindness; in attachment to Maya, there is darkness.

21The greedy people serve others, instead of the Lord, although they loudly announce their reading of scriptures.

22They are burnt to death by their own corruption; they are not at home, on either this shore or the one beyond. ||3||

23In attachment to Maya, they have forgotten the Father, the Cherisher of the World.

24Without the Guru, all are unconscious; they are held in bondage by the Messenger of Death.

25O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, you shall be saved, contemplating the True Name. ||4||10||43||

26Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

27The three qualities hold people in attachment to Maya. The Gurmukh attains the fourth state of higher consciousness.

28Granting His Grace, God unites us with Himself. The Name of the Lord comes to abide within the mind.

29Those who have the treasure of goodness join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||1||

30O Siblings of Destiny, follow the Guru's Teachings and dwell in truth.

31Practice truth, and only truth, and merge in the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||Pause||

32I am a sacrifice to those who recognize the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

33Renouncing selfishness, I fall at their feet, and walk in harmony with His Will.

34Earning the Profit of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I am intuitively absorbed in the Naam. ||2||

35Without the Guru, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence is not found, and the Naam is not obtained.

36Seek and find such a True Guru, who shall lead you to the True Lord.

37Destroy your evil passions, and you shall dwell in peace. Whatever pleases the Lord comes to pass. ||3||

38As one knows the True Guru, so is the peace obtained.

39There is no doubt at all about this, but those who love Him are very rare.

40O Nanak, the One Light has two forms; through the Shabad, union is attained. ||4||11||44||
