35

1The life of the self-willed manmukh passes uselessly. What face will he show when he passes beyond? ||3||

2God Himself is everything; those who are in their ego cannot even speak of this.

3Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is realized, and the pain of egotism is eradicated from within.

4I fall at the feet of those who serve their True Guru.

5O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to those who are found to be true in the True Court. ||4||21||54||

6Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

7If we keep contemplating about the time as to when to remember the Lord, then when will we find the actual time for worship?

8Night and day, one who is attuned to the Name of the True Lord is true.

9If someone forgets the Beloved Lord, even for an instant, what sort of devotion is that?

10One whose mind and body are cooled and soothed by the True Lord-no breath of his is wasted. ||1||

11O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord.

12True devotional worship is performed when the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||Pause||

13With intuitive ease, cultivate your farm, and plant the Seed of the True Name.

14The seedlings have sprouted luxuriantly, and with intuitive ease, the mind is satisfied.

15The Word of the Guru's Shabad is Ambrosial Nectar; drinking it in, thirst is quenched.

16This true mind is attuned to Truth, and it remains permeated with the True One. ||2||

17In speaking, in seeing and in words, remain immersed in the Shabad.

18The Word of the Guru's Bani vibrates throughout the four ages. As Truth, it teaches Truth.

19Egotism and possessiveness are eliminated, and the True One absorbs them into Himself.

20Those who remain lovingly absorbed in the True One see the Mansion of His Presence close at hand. ||3||

21By His Grace, we meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Without His Mercy, it cannot be obtained.

22Through perfect good destiny, one finds the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and one comes to meet the True Guru.

23Night and day, remain attuned to the Naam, and the pain of corruption shall be dispelled from within.

24O Nanak, merging with the Shabad through the Name, one is immersed in the Name. ||4||22||55||

25Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

26Those who contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad are filled with the Fear of God.

27They remain forever merged with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation; they dwell upon the Glories of the True One.

28They cast off the filth of their mental duality, and they keep the Lord enshrined in their hearts.

29True is their speech, and true are their minds. They are in love with the True One. ||1||

30O my mind, you are filled with the filth of egotism.

31The Immaculate Lord is eternally Beautiful. We are adorned with the Word of the Shabad. ||1||Pause||

32God joins to Himself those whose minds are fascinated with the True Word of His Shabad.

33Night and day, they are attuned to the Naam, and their light is absorbed into the Light.

34Through His Light, God is revealed. Without the True Guru, understanding is not obtained.

35The True Guru comes to meet those who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||2||

36Without the Name, all are miserable. In the love of duality, they are ruined.

37Without Him, I cannot survive even for an instant, and my life-night passes in anguish.

38Wandering in doubt, the spiritually blind come and go in reincarnation, over and over again.

39When God Himself bestows His Glance of Grace, He blends us into Himself. ||3||
