1His body becomes golden, by the Lord's Incomparable Light.

2He beholds the divine beauty in all the three worlds.

3That inexhaustible wealth of Truth is now in my lap. ||4||

4In the five elements, the three worlds, the nine regions and the four directions, the Lord is pervading.

5He supports the earth and the sky, exercising His almighty power.

6He turns the outgoing mind around. ||5||

7The fool does not realize what he sees with his eyes.

8He does not taste with his tongue, and does not understand what is said.

9Intoxicated with poison, he argues with the world. ||6||

10In the uplifting society, one is uplifted.

11He chases after virtue and washes off his sins.

12Without serving the Guru, celestial poise is not obtained. ||7||

13The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is a diamond, a jewel, a ruby.

14The pearl of the mind is the inner wealth.

15O Nanak, the Lord tests us, and blesses us with His Glance of Grace. ||8||5||

16Aasaa, First Mehla:

17The Gurmukh obtains spiritual wisdom, meditation and satisfaction of the mind.

18The Gurmukh realizes the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

19The Gurmukh is attuned to the Word of the Shabad, as his Insignia. ||1||

20Such is the loving devotional worship of the Lord's contemplation.

21The Gurmukh realizes the True Name, the Destroyer of ego. ||1||Pause||

22Day and night, he remains immaculately pure, and abides in the sublime place.

23He gains the wisdom of the three worlds.

24Through the True Guru, the Command of the Lord's Will is realized. ||2||

25He enjoys true pleasure, and suffers no pain.

26He enjoys the ambrosial wisdom, and the highest sublime essence.

27He overcomes the five evil passions, and becomes the happiest of all men. ||3||

28Your Divine Light is contained in all; everyone belongs to You.

29You Yourself join and separate again.

30Whatever the Creator does, comes to pass. ||4||

31He demolishes, and He builds; by His Order, he merges us into Himself.

32Whatever is pleasing to His Will, happens.

33Without the Guru, no one obtains the Perfect Lord. ||5||

34In childhood and old age, he does not understand.

35In the prime of youth, he is drowned in his pride.

36Without the Name, what can the fool obtain? ||6||

37He does not know the One who blesses him with nourishment and wealth.

38Deluded by doubt, he later regrets and repents.

39The noose of death is around the neck of that crazy madman. ||7||

40I saw the world drowning, and I ran away in fear.

41How very fortunate are those who have been saved by the True Guru.

42O Nanak, they are attached to the feet of the Guru. ||8||6||

43Aasaa, First Mehla:

44They sing religious songs, but their consciousness is wicked.

45They sing the songs, and call themselves divine,

46but without the Name, their minds are false and wicked. ||1||

47Where are you going? O mind, remain in your own home.

48The Gurmukhs are satisfied with the Lord's Name; searching, they easily find the Lord. ||1||Pause||

49Sexual desire, anger and emotional attachment fill the mind and body;

50greed and egotism lead only to pain.

51How can the mind be comforted without the Lord's Name? ||2||

52One who cleanses himself within, knows the True Lord.

53The Gurmukh knows the condition of his innermost being.

54Without the True Word of the Shabad, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence is not realized. ||3||

55One who merges his form into the Formless Lord,

56abides in the True Lord, the Powerful, beyond power.

57Such a person does not enter into the womb of reincarnation again. ||4||

58Go there, where you may obtain the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
