1Color, dress and form were contained in the One Lord; the Shabad was contained in the One, Wondrous Lord.

2Without the True Name, no one can become pure; O Nanak, this is the Unspoken Speech. ||67||

3"How, in what way, was the world formed, O man? And what disaster will end it?"

4In egotism, the world was formed, O man; forgetting the Naam, it suffers and dies.

5One who becomes Gurmukh contemplates the essence of spiritual wisdom; through the Shabad, he burns away his egotism.

6His body and mind become immaculate, through the Immaculate Bani of the Word. He remains absorbed in Truth.

7Through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he remains detached; he enshrines the True Name in his heart.

8O Nanak, without the Name, Yoga is never attained; reflect upon this in your heart, and see. ||68||

9The Gurmukh is one who reflects upon the True Word of the Shabad.

10The True Bani is revealed to the Gurmukh.

11The mind of the Gurmukh is drenched with the Lord's Love, but how rare are those who understand this.

12The Gurmukh dwells in the home of the self, deep within.

13The Gurmukh realizes the Way of Yoga.

14O Nanak, the Gurmukh knows the One Lord alone. ||69||

15Without serving the True Guru, Yoga is not attained;

16without meeting the True Guru, no one is liberated.

17Without meeting the True Guru, the Naam cannot be found.

18Without meeting the True Guru, one suffers in terrible pain.

19Without meeting the True Guru, there is only the deep darkness of egotistical pride.

20O Nanak, without the True Guru, one dies, having lost the opportunity of this life. ||70||

21The Gurmukh conquers his mind by subduing his ego.

22The Gurmukh enshrines Truth in his heart.

23The Gurmukh conquers the world; he knocks down the Messenger of Death, and kills it.

24The Gurmukh does not lose in the Court of the Lord.

25The Gurmukh is united in God's Union; he alone knows.

26O Nanak, the Gurmukh realizes the Word of the Shabad. ||71||

27This is the essence of the Shabad - listen, you hermits and Yogis. Without the Name, there is no Yoga.

28Those who are attuned to the Name, remain intoxicated night and day; through the Name, they find peace.

29Through the Name, everything is revealed; through the Name, understanding is obtained.

30Without the Name, people wear all sorts of religious robes; the True Lord Himself has confused them.

31The Name is obtained only from the True Guru, O hermit, and then, the Way of Yoga is found.

32Reflect upon this in your mind, and see; O Nanak, without the Name, there is no liberation. ||72||

33You alone know Your state and extent, Lord; What can anyone say about it?

34You Yourself are hidden, and You Yourself are revealed. You Yourself enjoy all pleasures.

35The seekers, the Siddhas, the many gurus and disciples wander around searching for You, according to Your Will.

36They beg for Your Name, and You bless them with this charity. I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

37The eternal imperishable Lord God has staged this play; the Gurmukh understands it.

38O Nanak, He extends Himself throughout the ages; there is no other than Him. ||73||1||
