1Says Nanak, God Himself has met me; He is the Doer, the Cause of causes. ||34||

2O my body, why have you come into this world? What actions have you committed?

3And what actions have you committed, O my body, since you came into this world?

4The Lord who formed your form - you have not enshrined that Lord in your mind.

5By Guru's Grace, the Lord abides within the mind, and one's pre-ordained destiny is fulfilled.

6Says Nanak, this body is adorned and honored, when one's consciousness is focused on the True Guru. ||35||

7O my eyes, the Lord has infused His Light into you; do not look upon any other than the Lord.

8Do not look upon any other than the Lord; the Lord alone is worthy of beholding.

9This whole world which you see is the image of the Lord; only the image of the Lord is seen.

10By Guru's Grace, I understand, and I see only the One Lord; there is no one except the Lord.

11Says Nanak, these eyes were blind; but meeting the True Guru, they became all-seeing. ||36||

12O my ears, you were created only to hear the Truth.

13To hear the Truth, you were created and attached to the body; listen to the True Bani.

14Hearing it, the mind and body are rejuvenated, and the tongue is absorbed in Ambrosial Nectar.

15The True Lord is unseen and wondrous; His state cannot be described.

16Says Nanak, listen to the Ambrosial Naam and become holy; you were created only to hear the Truth. ||37||

17The Lord placed the soul to the cave of the body, and blew the breath of life into the musical instrument of the body.

18He blew the breath of life into the musical instrument of the body, and revealed the nine doors; but He kept the Tenth Door hidden.

19Through the Gurdwara, the Guru's Gate, some are blessed with loving faith, and the Tenth Door is revealed to them.

20There are many images of the Lord, and the nine treasures of the Naam; His limits cannot be found.

21Says Nanak, the Lord placed the soul to the cave of the body, and blew the breath of life into the musical instrument of the body. ||38||

22Sing this true song of praise in the true home of your soul.

23Sing the song of praise in your true home; meditate there on the True Lord forever.

24They alone meditate on You, O True Lord, who are pleasing to Your Will; as Gurmukh, they understand.

25This Truth is the Lord and Master of all; whoever is blessed, obtains it.

26Says Nanak, sing the true song of praise in the true home of your soul. ||39||

27Listen to the song of bliss, O most fortunate ones; all your longings shall be fulfilled.

28I have obtained the Supreme Lord God, and all sorrows have been forgotten.

29Pain, illness and suffering have departed, listening to the True Bani.

30The Saints and their friends are in ecstasy, knowing the Perfect Guru.

31Pure are the listeners, and pure are the speakers; the True Guru is all-pervading and permeating.

32Prays Nanak, touching the Guru's Feet, the unstruck sound current of the celestial bugles vibrates and resounds. ||40||1||
