1you shall have to leave it all behind.

2These things seem like only a dream,

3to one who takes the Lord's Name. ||1||

4Forsaking the Lord, and clinging to another,

5they run toward death and reincarnation.

6But those humble beings, who attach themselves to the Lord, Har, Har,

7continue to live.

8One who is blessed with the Lord's Mercy,

9O Nanak, becomes His devotee. ||2||7||163||232||

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

11Raag Aasaa, Ninth Mehla:

12Who should I tell the condition of the mind?

13Engrossed in greed, running around in the ten directions, you hold to your hopes of wealth. ||1||Pause||

14For the sake of pleasure, you suffer such great pain, and you have to serve each and every person.

15You wander from door to door like a dog, unconscious of the Lord's meditation. ||1||

16You lose this human life in vain, and You are not even ashamed when others laugh at you.

17O Nanak, why not sing the Lord's Praises, so that you may be rid of the body's evil disposition? ||2||1||233||

18Raag Aasaa, First Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa, Second House:

19One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

20He descends the treacherous precipice, to bathe in the cleansing pool;

21without speaking or saying anything, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

22Like water vapor in the sky, he remains absorbed in the Lord.

23He churns the true pleasures to obtain the supreme nectar. ||1||

24Listen to such spiritual wisdom, O my mind.

25The Lord is totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause||

26One who makes Truthfulness his fast and religious vows, does not suffer the pain of death.

27Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he burns away his anger.

28He dwells in the Tenth Gate, immersed in the Samaadhi of deep meditation.

29Touching the philosopher's stone, he obtains the supreme status. ||2||

30For the benefit of the mind, churn the true essence of reality;

31bathing in the over-flowing tank of nectar, filth is washed away.

32We become like the One with whom we are imbued.

33Whatever the Creator does, comes to pass. ||3||

34The Guru is cool and soothing like ice; He puts out the fire of the mind.

35Smear your body with the ashes of dedicated service,

36and live in the home of peace - make this your religious order.

37Let the Immaculate Bani of the Word be your playing of the flute. ||4||

38Spiritual wisdom within is the supreme, sublime nectar.

39Contemplation of the Guru is one's bathing at holy places of pilgrimage.

40Worship and adoration within is the Lord's dwelling.

41He is the One who blends one's light with the Divine Light. ||5||

42He delights in the delightful wisdom of loving the One Lord.

43He is one of the self-elect - he merges with the Lord, who occupies the throne.

44He performs his works in obedience to the Will of his Lord and Master.

45The Unknowable Lord cannot be understood. ||6||

46The lotus originates in the water, and yet it remains distinct from the water.

47Just so, the Divine Light pervades and permeates the water of the world.

48Who is near, and who is far away?

49I sing the Glories of the Lord, the treasure of virtue; I behold Him ever-present. ||7||

50Inwardly and outwardly, there is none other than Him.
