1The Lord Himself directs the evolution of the world of the five elements; He Himself infuses the five senses into it.

2O servant Nanak, the Lord Himself unites us with the True Guru; He Himself resolves the conflicts. ||2||3||

3Bairaaree, Fourth Mehla:

4Chant the Name of the Lord, O mind, and you shall be emancipated.

5The Lord shall destroy all the sins of millions upon millions of incarnations, and carry you across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

6In the body-village, the Lord Master abides; the Lord is without fear, without vengeance, and without form.

7The Lord is dwelling near at hand, but He cannot be seen. By the Guru's Teachings, the Lord is obtained. ||1||

8The Lord Himself is the banker, the jeweller, the jewel, the gem; the Lord Himself created the entire expanse of the creation.

9O Nanak, one who is blessed by the Lord's Kind Mercy, trades in the Lord's Name; He alone is the true banker, the true trader. ||2||4||

10Bairaaree, Fourth Mehla:

11Meditate, O mind, on the immaculate, formless Lord.

12Forever and ever, meditate on the Lord, the Giver of peace; He has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||

13In the fiery pit of the womb, when you were hanging upside-down, the Lord absorbed You in His Love, and preserved You.

14So serve such a Lord, O my mind; the Lord shall deliver you in the end. ||1||

15Bow down in reverence to that humble being, within whose heart the Lord, Har, Har, abides.

16By the Lord's Kind Mercy, O Nanak, one obtains the Lord's meditation, and the support of the Naam. ||2||5||

17Bairaaree, Fourth Mehla:

18O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; meditate on it continually.

19You shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires, and pain shall never touch you again. ||1||Pause||

20That is chanting, that is deep meditation and austerity, that is fasting and worship, which inspires love for the Lord.

21Without the Lord's Love, every other love is false; in an instant, it is all forgotten. ||1||

22You are infinite, the Master of all power; Your value cannot be described at all.

23Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O Dear Lord; as it pleases You, save him. ||2||6||

24Raag Bairaaree, Fifth Mehla, First House:

25One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

26Meeting with the humble Saints, sing the Praises of the Lord.

27The pains of millions of incarnations shall be eradicated. ||1||Pause||

28Whatever your mind desires, that you shall obtain.

29By His Kind Mercy, the Lord blesses us with His Name. ||1||

30All happiness and greatness are in the Lord's Name.

31By Guru's Grace, Nanak has gained this understanding. ||2||1||7||
