34

1With faith in the Shabad, the Guru is found, and selfishness is eradicated from within.

2Night and day, worship the True Lord with devotion and love forever.

3The Treasure of the Naam abides in the mind; O Nanak, in the poise of perfect balance, merge into the Lord. ||4||19||52||

4Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

5Those who do not serve the True Guru shall be miserable throughout the four ages.

6The Primal Being is within their own home, but they do not recognize Him. They are plundered by their egotistical pride and arrogance.

7Cursed by the True Guru, they wander around the world begging, until they are exhausted.

8They do not serve the True Word of the Shabad, which is the solution to all of their problems. ||1||

9O my mind, see the Lord ever close at hand.

10He shall remove the pains of death and rebirth; the Word of the Shabad shall fill you to overflowing. ||1||Pause||

11Those who praise the True One are true; the True Name is their Support.

12They act truthfully, in love with the True Lord.

13The True King has written His Order, which no one can erase.

14The self-willed manmukhs do not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. The false are plundered by falsehood. ||2||

15Engrossed in egotism, the world perishes. Without the Guru, there is utter darkness.

16In emotional attachment to Maya, they have forgotten the Great Giver, the Giver of Peace.

17Those who serve the True Guru are saved; they keep the True One enshrined in their hearts.

18By His Grace, we find the Lord, and reflect on the True Word of the Shabad. ||3||

19Serving the True Guru, the mind becomes immaculate and pure; egotism and corruption are discarded.

20So abandon your selfishness, and remain dead while yet alive. Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

21The pursuit of worldly affairs comes to an end, when you embrace love for the True One.

22Those who are attuned to Truth-their faces are radiant in the Court of the True Lord. ||4||

23Those who do not have faith in the Primal Being, the True Guru, and who do not enshrine love for the Shabad

24they take their cleansing baths, and give to charity again and again, but they are ultimately consumed by their love of duality.

25When the Dear Lord Himself grants His Grace, they are inspired to love the Naam.

26O Nanak, immerse yourself in the Naam, through the Infinite Love of the Guru. ||5||20||53||

27Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

28Whom shall I serve? What shall I chant? I will go and ask the Guru.

29I will accept the Will of the True Guru, and eradicate selfishness from within.

30By this work and service, the Naam shall come to dwell within my mind.

31Through the Naam, peace is obtained; I am adorned and embellished by the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||

32O my mind, remain awake and aware night and day, and think of the Lord.

33Protect your crops, or else the birds shall descend on your farm. ||1||Pause||

34The desires of the mind are fulfilled, when one is filled to overflowing with the Shabad.

35One who fears, loves, and is devoted to the Dear Lord day and night, sees Him always close at hand.

36Doubt runs far away from the bodies of those, whose minds remain forever attuned to the True Word of the Shabad.

37The Immaculate Lord and Master is found. He is True; He is the Ocean of Excellence. ||2||

38Those who remain awake and aware are saved, while those who sleep are plundered.

39They do not recognize the True Word of the Shabad, and like a dream, their lives fade away.

40Like guests in a deserted house, they leave just exactly as they have come.
