1The worship of the Lord is unique - it is known only by reflecting upon the Guru.

2O Nanak, one whose mind is filled with the Naam, through the Lord's Fear and devotion, is embellished with the Naam. ||9||14||36||

3Aasaa, Third Mehla:

4He wanders around, engrossed in other pleasures, but without the Naam, he suffers in pain.

5He does not meet the True Guru, the Primal Being, who imparts true understanding. ||1||

6O my insane mind, drink in the sublime essence of the Lord, and savor its taste.

7Attached to other pleasures, you wander around, and your life wastes away uselessly. ||1||Pause||

8In this age, the Gurmukhs are pure; they remain absorbed in the love of the True Name.

9Without the destiny of good karma, nothing can be obtained; what can we say or do? ||2||

10He understands his own self, and dies in the Word of the Shabad; he banishes corruption from his mind.

11He hurries to the Guru's Sanctuary, and is forgiven by the Forgiving Lord. ||3||

12Without the Name, peace is not obtained, and pain does not depart from within.

13This world is engrossed in attachment to Maya; it has gone astray in duality and doubt. ||4||

14The forsaken soul-brides do not know the value of their Husband Lord; how can they decorate themselves?

15Night and day, they continually burn, and they do not enjoy the Bed of their Husband Lord. ||5||

16The happy soul-brides obtain the Mansion of His Presence, eradicating their self-conceit from within.

17They decorate themselves with the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and their Husband Lord unites them with Himself. ||6||

18He has forgotten death, in the darkness of attachment to Maya.

19The self-willed manmukhs die again and again, and are reborn; they die again, and are miserable at the Gate of Death. ||7||

20They alone are united, whom the Lord unites with Himself; they contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

21O Nanak, they are absorbed in the Naam; their faces are radiant, in that True Court. ||8||22||15||37||

22Aasaa, Fifth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa, Second House:

23One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

24When the five virtues were reconciled, and the five passions were estranged, I enshrined the five within myself, and cast out the other five. ||1||

25In this way, the village of my body became inhabited, O my Siblings of Destiny.

26Vice departed, and the Guru's spiritual wisdom was implanted within me. ||1||Pause||

27The fence of true Dharmic religion has been built around it.

28The spiritual wisdom and reflective meditation of the Guru has become its strong gate. ||2||

29So plant the seed of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O friends, O Siblings of Destiny.

30Deal only in the constant service of the Guru. ||3||

31With intuitive peace and happiness, all the shops are filled.

32The Banker and the dealers dwell in the same place. ||4||

33There is no tax on non-believers, nor any fines or taxes at death.

34The True Guru has set the Seal of the Primal Lord upon these goods. ||5||

35So load the merchandise of the Naam, and set sail with your cargo.

36Earn your profit, as Gurmukh, and you shall return to your own home. ||6||

37The True Guru is the Banker, and His Sikhs are the traders.

38Their merchandise is the Naam, and meditation on the True Lord is their account. ||7||

39One who serves the True Guru dwells in this house.

40O Nanak, the Divine City is eternal. ||8||1||
