1Their lives and bodies become totally blessed and fruitful; the Lord's Name illumines them.

2O Nanak, by continually vibrating upon the Lord, day and night, the Gurmukhs abide in the home of the inner self. ||6||

3Those who place their faith in the Lord's Name, do not attach their consciousness to another.

4Even if the entire earth were to be transformed into gold, and given to them, without the Naam, they love nothing else.

5The Lord's Name is pleasing to their minds, and they obtain supreme peace; when they depart in the end, it shall go with them as their support.

6I have gathered the capital, the wealth of the Lord's Name; it does not sink, and does not depart.

7The Lord's Name is the only true support in this age; the Messenger of Death does not draw near it.

8O Nanak, the Gurmukhs recognize the Lord; in His Mercy, He unites them with Himself. ||7||

9True, True is the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam; the Gurmukh knows the Lord.

10The Lord's servant is the one who commits himself to the Guru's service, and dedicates his mind and body as an offering to Him.

11He dedicates his mind and body to Him, placing great faith in Him; the Guru lovingly unites His servant with Himself.

12The Master of the meek, the Giver of souls, is obtained through the Perfect Guru.

13The Guru's Sikh, and the Sikh's Guru, are one and the same; both spread the Guru's Teachings.

14The Mantra of the Lord's Name is enshrined within the heart, O Nanak, and we merge with the Lord so easily. ||8||2||9||
