Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Siree Raag

O Nanak, he alone serves the Lord, whom the Lord attaches to Himself. ||10||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

O Nanak, he is a brave warrior, who conquers and subdues his vicious inner ego.

Praising the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Gurmukhs redeem their lives.

They themselves are liberated forever, and they save all their ancestors.

Those who love the Naam look beauteous at the Gate of Truth.

The self-willed manmukhs die in egotism-even their death is painfully ugly.

Everything happens according to the Lord's Will; what can the poor people do?

Attached to self-conceit and duality, they have forgotten their Lord and Master.

O Nanak, without the Name, everything is painful, and happiness is forgotten. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The Perfect Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me. It has dispelled my doubts from within.

I sing the Lord's Name and the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; the Divine Light shines, and now I see the Way.

Conquering my ego, I am lovingly focused on the One Lord; the Naam has come to dwell within me.

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 074

Following the Guru's Teachings, I cannot be touched by the Messenger of Death. I am absorbed in the True Name.

The Creator Himself is All-pervading everywhere; He links those with whom He is pleased to His Name.

Servant Nanak chants the Naam, and so he lives. Without the Name, he would die in an instant. ||2||

Pauree:

One who is accepted at the Court of the Lord shall be accepted in courts everywhere.

Wherever he goes, he is recognized as honorable. Seeing his face, all sinners are saved.

Within him is the Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Through the Naam, he is exalted.

He worships the Name, and believes in the Name; the Name erases all his sinful mistakes.

Those who meditate on the Name, with one-pointed mind and focused consciousness, remain forever stable in the world. ||11||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Worship the Divine, Supreme Soul, with the intuitive peace and poise of the Guru.

If the individual soul has faith in the Supreme Soul, then it shall obtain realization within its own home.

The soul becomes steady, and does not waver, by the natural inclination of the Guru's Loving Will.

Without the Guru, intuitive wisdom does not come, and the filth of greed does not depart from within.

If the Lord's Name abides within the mind, for a moment, even for an instant, it is like bathing at all the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

Filth does not stick to those who are true, but filth attaches itself to those who love duality.

This filth cannot be washed off, even by bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

The self-willed manmukh does deeds in egotism; he earns only pain and more pain.
