37

1Without the True Guru, no one has found Him; reflect upon this in your mind and see.

2The filth of the self-willed manmukhs is not washed off; they have no love for the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

3O my mind, walk in harmony with the True Guru.

4Dwell within the home of your own inner being, and drink in the Ambrosial Nectar; you shall attain the Peace of the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||Pause||

5The unvirtuous have no merit; they are not allowed to sit in His Presence.

6The self-willed manmukhs do not know the Shabad; those without virtue are far removed from God.

7Those who recognize the True One are permeated and attuned to Truth.

8Their minds are pierced through by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and God Himself ushers them into His Presence. ||2||

9He Himself dyes us in the Color of His Love; through the Word of His Shabad, He unites us with Himself.

10This True Color shall not fade away, for those who are attuned to His Love.

11The self-willed manmukhs grow weary of wandering around in all four directions, but they do not understand.

12One who is united with the True Guru, meets and merges in the True Word of the Shabad. ||3||

13I have grown weary of making so many friends, hoping that someone might be able to end my suffering.

14Meeting with my Beloved, my suffering has ended; I have attained Union with the Word of the Shabad.

15Earning Truth, and accumulating the Wealth of Truth, the truthful person gains a reputation of Truth.

16Meeting with the True One, O Nanak, the Gurmukh shall not be separated from Him again. ||4||26||59||

17Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

18The Creator Himself created the Creation; He produced the Universe, and He Himself watches over it.

19The One and Only Lord is pervading and permeating all. The Unseen cannot be seen.

20God Himself is Merciful; He Himself bestows understanding.

21Through the Guru's Teachings, the True One dwells forever in the mind of those who remain lovingly attached to Him. ||1||

22O my mind, surrender to the Guru's Will.

23Mind and body are totally cooled and soothed, and the Naam comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||Pause||

24Having created the creation, He supports it and takes care of it.

25The Word of the Guru's Shabad is realized, when He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace.

26Those who are beautifully adorned with the Shabad in the Court of the True Lord

27-those Gurmukhs are attuned to the True Word of the Shabad; the Creator unites them with Himself. ||2||

28Through the Guru's Teachings, praise the True One, who has no end or limitation.

29He dwells in each and every heart, by the Hukam of His Command; by His Hukam, we contemplate Him.

30So praise Him through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and drive out egotism from within.

31That soul-bride who lacks the Lord's Name acts without virtue, and so she grieves. ||3||

32Praising the True One, attached to the True One, I am satisfied with the True Name.

33Contemplating His Virtues, I accumulate virtue and merit; I wash myself clean of demerits.

34He Himself unites us in His Union; there is no more separation.

35O Nanak, I sing the Praises of my Guru; through Him, I find that God. ||4||27||60||

36Siree Raag, Third Mehla:

37Listen, listen, O soul-bride: you are overtaken by sexual desire-why do you walk like that, swinging your arms in joy?

38You do not recognize your own Husband Lord! When you go to Him, what face will you show Him?

39I touch the feet of my sister soul-brides who have known their Husband Lord.

40If only I could be like them! Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, I am united in His Union. ||1||
