1He shall give you peace, O my mind; meditate forever, every day on Him, with your palms pressed together.

2Please bless servant Nanak with this one gift, O Lord, that Your feet may dwell within my heart forever. ||4||3||

3Gond, Fourth Mehla:

4All the kings, emperors, nobles, lords and chiefs are false and transitory, engrossed in duality - know this well.

5The eternal Lord is permanent and unchanging; meditate on Him, O my mind, and you shall be approved. ||1||

6O my mind, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord's Name, which shall be your defender forever.

7One who obtains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, through the Word of the Guru's Teachings - no one else's power is as great as his. ||1||Pause||

8All the wealthy, high class property owners which you see, O my mind, shall vanish, like the fading color of the safflower.

9Serve the True, Immaculate Lord forever, O my mind, and you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord. ||2||

10There are four castes: Brahmin, Kh'shaatriya, Soodra and Vaishya, and there are four stages of life. One who meditates on the Lord, is the most distinguished and renowned.

11The poor castor oil plant, growing near the sandalwood tree, becomes fragrant; in the same way, the sinner, associating with the Saints, becomes acceptable and approved. ||3||

12He, within whose heart the Lord abides, is the highest of all, and the purest of all.

13Servant Nanak washes the feet of that humble servant of the Lord; he may be from a low class family, but he is now the Lord's servant. ||4||4||

14Gond, Fourth Mehla:

15The Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, is all-pervading. As the Lord causes them to act, so do they act.

16So serve forever such a Lord, O my mind, who will protect you from everything. ||1||

17O my mind, meditate on the Lord, and read about the Lord every day.

18Other than the Lord, no one can kill you or save you; so why do you worry, O my mind? ||1||Pause||

19The Creator created the entire universe, and infused His Light into it.

20The One Lord speaks, and the One Lord causes all to speak.The Perfect Guru has revealed the One Lord. ||2||

21The Lord is with you, inside and out; tell me, O mind, how can You hide anything from Him?

22Serve the Lord open-heartedly, and then, O my mind, you shall find total peace. ||3||

23Everything is under His control; He is the greatest of all. O my mind, meditate forever on Him.

24O Servant Nanak, that Lord is always with you. Meditate forever on your Lord, and He shall emancipate you. ||4||5||

25Gond, Fourth Mehla:

26My mind yearns so deeply for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, like the thirsty man without water. ||1||

27My mind is pierced through by the arrow of the Lord's Love.

28The Lord God knows my anguish, and the pain deep within my mind. ||1||Pause||

29Whoever tells me the Stories of my Beloved Lord is my Sibling of Destiny, and my friend. ||2||
