646

1Without the Name of the Lord, everyone wanders around the world, losing.

2The self-willed manmukhs do their deeds in the pitch black darkness of egotism.

3The Gurmukhs drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, O Nanak, contemplating the Word of the Shabad. ||1||

4Third Mehla:

5He wakes in peace, and he sleeps in peace.

6The Gurmukh praises the Lord night and day.

7The self-willed manmukh remains deluded by his doubts.

8He is filled with anxiety, and he cannot even sleep.

9The spiritually wise wake and sleep in peace.

10Nanak is a sacrifice to those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

11Pauree:

12They alone meditate on the Lord's Name, who are imbued with the Lord.

13They meditate on the One Lord; the One and Only Lord is True.

14The One Lord is pervading everywhere; the One Lord created the Universe.

15Those who meditate on the Lord's Name, cast out their fears.

16The Lord Himself blesses them with Guru's Instruction; the Gurmukh meditates on the Lord. ||9||

17Shalok, Third Mehla:

18Spiritual wisdom, which would bring understanding, does not enter into his mind.

19Without seeing, how can he praise the Lord? The blind act in blindness.

20O Nanak, when one realizes the Word of the Shabad, then the Naam comes to abide in the mind. ||1||

21Third Mehla:

22There is One Bani; there is One Guru; there is one Shabad to contemplate.

23True is the merchandise, and true is the shop; the warehouses are overflowing with jewels.

24By Guru's Grace, they are obtained, if the Great Giver gives them.

25Dealing in this true merchandise, one earns the profit of the incomparable Naam.

26In the midst of poison, the Ambrosial Nectar is revealed; by His Mercy, one drinks it in.

27O Nanak, praise the True Lord; blessed is the Creator, the Embellisher. ||2||

28Pauree:

29Those who are permeated by falsehood, do not love the Truth.

30If someone speaks the Truth, falsehood is burnt away.

31The false are satisfied by falsehood, like the crows who eat manure.

32When the Lord grants His Grace, then one meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

33As Gurmukh, worship the Lord's Name in adoration; fraud and sin shall disappear. ||10||

34Shalok, Third Mehla:

35O Shaykh, you wander in the four directions, blown by the four winds; bring your mind back to the home of the One Lord.

36Renounce your petty arguments, and realize the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

37Bow in humble respect before the True Guru; He is the Knower who knows everything.

38Burn away your hopes and desires, and live like a guest in this world.

39If you walk in harmony with the True Guru's Will, then you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord.

40O Nanak, those who do not contemplate the Naam, the Name of the Lord - cursed are their clothes, and cursed is their food. ||1||

41Third Mehla:

42There is no end to the Lord's Glorious Praises; His worth cannot be described.

43O Nanak, the Gurmukhs chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord; they are absorbed in His Glorious Virtues. ||2||

44Pauree:

45The Lord has adorned the coat of the body; He has embroidered it with devotional worship.

46The Lord has woven His silk into it, in so many ways and fashions.

47How rare is that man of understanding, who understands, and deliberates within.

48He alone understands these deliberations, whom the Lord Himself inspires to understand.

49Poor servant Nanak speaks: the Gurmukhs know the Lord, the Lord is True. ||11||
