1He comes when the Lord sends him; when the Lord calls him back, he goes.

2Whatever he does, the Lord is doing. The Forgiving Lord forgives him. ||10||

3I seek to be with those who have tasted this sublime essence of the Lord.

4Wealth, miraculous spiritual powers, wisdom and spiritual knowledge, are obtained from the Guru. The treasure of liberation is obtained in His Sanctuary. ||11||

5The Gurmukh looks upon pain and pleasure as one and the same; he remains untouched by joy and sorrow.

6Conquering his self-conceit, the Gurmukh finds the Lord; O Nanak, he intuitively merges into the Lord. ||12||7||

7Raamkalee, Dakhanee, First Mehla:

8Abstinence, chastity, self-control and truthfulness have been implanted within me; I am imbued with the sublime essence of the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||

9My Merciful Guru remains forever imbued with the Lord's Love.

10Day and night, He remains lovingly focused on the One Lord; gazing upon the True Lord, He is pleased. ||1||Pause||

11He abides in the Tenth Gate, and looks equally upon all; He is imbued with the unstruck sound current of the Shabad. ||2||

12Wearing the loin-cloth of chastity, He remains absorbed in the all-pervading Lord; His tongue enjoys the taste of God's Love. ||3||

13The One who created the creation has met the True Guru; contemplating the Guru's lifestyle, He is pleased. ||4||

14All are in the One, and the One is in all. This is what the True Guru has shown me. ||5||

15He who created the worlds, solar systems and galaxies - that God cannot be known. ||6||

16From the lamp of God, the lamp within is lit; the Divine Light illuminates the three worlds. ||7||

17The Guru sits on the true throne in the true mansion; He is attuned, absorbed in the Fearless Lord. ||8||

18The Guru, the detached Yogi, has enticed the hearts of all; He plays His harp in each and every heart. ||9||

19O Nanak, in God's Sanctuary, one is emancipated; the True Guru becomes our true help and support. ||10||8||

20Raamkalee, First Mehla:

21He has made His home in the monastery of the heart; He has infused His power into the earth and the sky. ||1||

22Through the Word of the Shabad, the Gurmukhs have saved so very many, O Saints. ||1||Pause||

23He conquers attachment, and eradicates egotism, and sees Your Divine Light pervading the three worlds, Lord. ||2||

24He conquers desire, and enshrines the Lord within his mind; he contemplates the Word of the True Guru's Shabad. ||3||

25The horn of consciousness vibrates the unstruck sound current; Your Light illuminates each and every heart, Lord. ||4||

26He plays the flute of the universe in his mind, and lights the fire of God. ||5||

27Bringing together the five elements, day and night, the Lord's lamp shines with the Immaculate Light of the Infinite. ||6||

28The right and left nostrils, the sun and the moon channels, are the strings of the body-harp; they vibrate the wondrous melody of the Shabad. ||7||

29The true hermit obtains a seat in the City of God, the invisible, inaccessible, infinite. ||8||

30The mind is the king of the city of the body; the five sources of knowledge dwell within it. ||9||

31Seated in his home, this king chants the Shabad; he administers justice and virtue. ||10||

32What can poor death or birth say to him? Conquering his mind, he remains dead while yet alive. ||11||
