1True Devotion is to remain dead while yet alive.

2By Guru's Grace, one crosses over the terrible world-ocean.

3Through the Guru's Teachings, one's devotion is accepted,

4and then, the Dear Lord Himself comes to dwell in the mind. ||4||

5When the Lord bestows His Mercy, He leads us to meet the True Guru.

6Then, one's devotion becomes steady, and the consciousness is centered upon the Lord.

7Those who are imbued with Devotion have truthful reputations.

8O Nanak, imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, peace is obtained. ||5||12||51||

9Aasaa, Eighth House, Kaafee, Third Mehla:

10One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

11By the Pleasure of the Lord's Will, one meets the True Guru, and true understanding is obtained.

12By Guru's Grace, the Lord abides in the mind, and one comes to understand the Lord. ||1||

13My Husband Lord, the Great Giver, is One. There is no other at all.

14By Guru's merciful favor, He abides in the mind, and then, a lasting peace ensues. ||1||Pause||

15In this age, the Lord's Name is fearless; it is obtained by meditative reflection upon the Guru.

16Without the Name, the blind, foolish, self-willed manmukh is under Death's power. ||2||

17By the Pleasure of the Lord's Will, the humble being performs His service, and understands the True Lord.

18By the Pleasure of the Lord's Will, He is to be praised; surrendering to His Will, peace ensues. ||3||

19By the Pleasure of the Lord's Will, the prize of this human birth is obtained, and the intellect is exalted.

20O Nanak, praise the Naam, the Name of the Lord; as Gurmukh, you shall be emancipated. ||4||39||13||52||

21Aasaa, Fourth Mehla, Second House:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23You are the True Creator, my Lord Master.

24That which is pleasing to Your Will, comes to pass. Whatever You give, that is what I receive. ||1||Pause||

25All are Yours; all meditate on You.

26He alone, whom You bless with Your Mercy, obtains the jewel of the Naam.

27The Gurmukhs obtain it, and the self-willed manmukhs lose it.

28You Yourself separate the mortals, and You Yourself unite them. ||1||

29You are the River - all are within You.

30Other than You, there is no one at all.

31All beings and creatures are your play-things.

32The united ones are separated, and the separated ones are re-united. ||2||

33That humble being, whom You inspire to understand, understands;

34he continually speaks and chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

35One who serves the Lord, obtains peace.

36He is easily absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||3||

37You Yourself are the Creator; by Your doing, all things come to be.

38Without You, there is no other at all.

39You watch over the creation, and understand it.

40O servant Nanak, the Lord is revealed to the Gurmukh. ||4||1||53||
