3The Gurmukh chants the Naam, forever and ever. ||5||

4Serving the True Guru, duality and evil-mindedness are taken away.

5Guilty mistakes are erased, and the sinful intellect is cleansed.

6One's body sparkles like gold, and one's light merges into the Light. ||6||

7Meeting with the True Guru, one is blessed with glorious greatness.

8Pain is taken away, and the Naam comes to dwell within the heart.

9Imbued with the Naam, one finds eternal peace. ||7||

10Obeying the Gur's instructions, one's actions are purified.

11Obeying the Guru's Instructions, one finds the state of salvation.

12O Nanak, those who follow the Guru's Teachings are saved, along with their families. ||8||1||3||

13Bilaaval, Fourth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa, Eleventh House:

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

15One who eliminates his self-centeredness, and eradicates his ego, night and day sings the songs of the Lord's Love.

16The Gurmukh is inspired, his body is golden, and his light merges into the Light of the Fearless Lord. ||1||

17I take the Support of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

18I cannot live, for a moment, even for an instant, without the Name of the Lord; the Gurmukh reads the Sermon of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

19In the one house of the body, there are ten gates; night and day, the five thieves break in.

20They steal the entire wealth of one's Dharmic faith, but the blind, self-willed manmukh does not know it. ||2||

21The fortress of the body is overflowing with gold and jewels; when it is awakened by spiritual wisdom, one enshrines love for the essence of reality.

22The thieves and robbers hide out in the body; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are arrested and locked up. ||3||

23The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is the boat, and the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the boatman, to carry us across.

24The Messenger of Death, the tax collector, does not even come close, and no thieves or robbers can plunder you. ||4||

25I continuously sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, day and night; singing the Lord's Praises, I cannot find His limits.

26The mind of the Gurmukh returns to its own home; it meets the Lord of the Universe, to the beat of the celestial drum. ||5||

27Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan with my eyes, my mind is satisfied; with my ears, I listen to the Guru's Bani, and the Word of His Shabad.

28Listening, listening, my soul is softened, delighted by His subtle essence, chanting the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||6||

29In the grip of the three qualities, they are engrossed in love and attachment to Maya; only as Gurmukh do they find the absolute quality, absorption in bliss.

30With a single, impartial eye, look upon all alike, and see God pervading all. ||7||

31The Light of the Lord's Name permeates all; the Gurmukh knows the unknowable.

32O Nanak, the Lord has become merciful to the meek; through loving adoration, he merges in the Lord's Name. ||8||1||4||

33Bilaaval, Fourth Mehla:

34Meditate on the cool water of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Perfume yourself with the fragrant scent of the Lord, the sandalwood tree.
