1Those being whose minds are imbued and drenched with the Lord's Love

2- their pains of birth and death are taken away. They are automatically ushered into the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

3One who has tasted the Shabad, obtains the true flavor.

4The Name of the Lord abides within his mind.

5The Lord God is Eternal and All-pervading.

6He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away. ||2||

7Everyone talks and speaks through speech;

8the Lord Himself forgives, and unites us with Himself.

9By merely speaking and talking, He is not obtained.

10By Guru's Grace, He comes to abide in the mind. ||3||

11The Gurmukh eradicates his self-conceit from within.

12He is imbued with the Lord's Love, having discarded worldly attachment.

13He contemplates the utterly Immaculate Word of the Guru's Shabad.

14O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is our Salvation. ||4||4||43||

15Aasaa, Third Mehla:

16Attached to the love of duality, one only incurs pain.

17Without the Word of the Shabad, one's life is wasted away in vain.

18Serving the True Guru, understanding is obtained,

19and then, one is not attached to the love of duality. ||1||

20Those who hold fast to their roots, become acceptable.

21Night and day, they meditate within their hearts on the Lord's Name; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they know the One Lord. ||1||Pause||

22One who is attached to the branch, does not receive the fruits.

23For blind actions, blind punishment is received.

24The blind, self-willed manmukh finds no place of rest.

25He is a maggot in manure, and in manure he shall rot away. ||2||

26Serving the Guru, everlasting peace is obtained.

27Joining the True Congregation, the Sat Sangat, the Glorious Praises of the Lord are sung.

28One who contemplates the Naam, the Name of the Lord,

29saves himself, and his family as well. ||3||

30Through the Word of the Guru's Bani, the Naam resounds;

31O Nanak, through the Word of the Shabad, one finds the Mansion of the Lord's Presence within the home of the heart.

32Under Guru's Instruction, bathe in the Pool of Truth, in the Water of the Lord;

33thus the filth of evil-mindedness and sin shall all be washed away. ||4||5||44||

34Aasaa, Third Mehla:

35The self-willed manmukhs are dying; they are wasting away in death.

36In the love of duality, they murder their own souls.

37Crying out, ""Mine, mine!"", they are ruined.

38They do not remember their souls; they are asleep in superstition. ||1||

39He alone dies a real death, who dies in the Word of the Shabad.

40The Guru has inspired me to realize, that praise and slander are one and the same; in this world, the profit is obtained by chanting the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

41Those who lack the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are dissolved within the womb.

42Useless is the birth of those who are lured by duality.

43Without the Naam, all are burning in pain.

44The Perfect True Guru has given me this understanding. ||2||

45The fickle mind is struck down so many times.

46Having lost this opportunity, no place of rest shall be found.

47Cast into the womb of reincarnation, the mortal lives in manure;

48in such a home, the self-willed manmukh takes up residence. ||3||

49I am forever a sacrifice to my True Guru;

50the light of the Gurmukh blends with the Divine Light of the Lord.

51Through the Immaculate Bani of the Word, the mortal dwells within the home of his own inner self.

52O Nanak, he conquers his ego, and remains forever detached. ||4||6||45||

53Aasaa, Third Mehla:

54The Lord's slave sets aside his own social status.
