1One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

2Raag Soohee, First Mehla, Chau-Padhay, First House:

3Wash the vessel, sit down and anoint it with fragrance; then, go out and get the milk.

4Add the rennet of clear consciousness to the milk of good deeds, and then, free of desire, let it curdle. ||1||

5Chant the Name of the One Lord.

6All other actions are fruitless. ||1||Pause||

7Let your mind be the handles, and then churn it, without sleeping.

8If you chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord ,with your tongue, then the curd will be churned. In this way, the Ambrosial Nectar is obtained. ||2||

9Wash your mind in the pool of Truth, and let it be the vessel of the Lord; let this be your offering to please Him.

10That humble servant who dedicates and offers his life, and who serves in this way, remains absorbed in his Lord and Master. ||3||

11The speakers speak and speak and speak, and then they depart. There is no other to compare to You.

12Servant Nanak, lacking devotion, humbly prays: may I sing the Praises of the True Lord. ||4||1||

13Soohee, First Mehla, Second House:

14One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

15Deep within the self, the Lord abides; do not go outside looking for Him.

16You have renounced the Ambrosial Nectar - why are you eating poison? ||1||

17Meditate on such spiritual wisdom, O my mind,

18and become the slave of the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

19Everyone speaks of wisdom and meditation;

20but bound in bondage, the whole world is wandering around in confusion. ||2||

21One who serves the Lord is His servant.

22The Lord is pervading and permeating the water, the land, and the sky. ||3||

23I am not good; no one is bad.

24Prays Nanak, He alone saves us! ||4||1||2||
