O Nanak, the filthy ones become clean only when they meet and surrender to the True Guru. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The self-willed manmukhs may be taught, but how can they really be taught?

The manmukhs do not fit in at all. Because of their past actions, they are condemned to the cycle of reincarnation.

Loving attention to the Lord and attachment to Maya are the two separate ways; all act according to the Hukam of the Lord's Command.

The Gurmukh has conquered his own mind, by applying the Touchstone of the Shabad.

He fights with his mind, he settles with his mind, and he is at peace with his mind.

All obtain the desires of their minds, through the Love of the True Word of the Shabad.

They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam forever; this is how the Gurmukhs act.

Those who struggle with something other than their own mind, shall depart having wasted their lives.

The self-willed manmukhs, through stubborn-mindedness and the practice of falsehood, lose the game of life.

Those who conquer their own mind, by Guru's Grace, lovingly focus their attention on the Lord.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs practice Truth, while the self-willed manmukhs continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||2||

Pauree:

O Saints of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny, listen, and hear the Lord's Teachings, through the True Guru.

Those who have good destiny pre-ordained and inscribed on their foreheads, grasp it and keep it enshrined in the heart.

Through the Guru's Teachings, they intuitively taste the sublime, exquisite and ambrosial sermon of the Lord.

The Divine Light shines in their hearts, and like the sun which removes the darkness of night, it dispels the darkness of ignorance.

As Gurmukh, they behold with their eyes the Unseen, Imperceptible, Unknowable, Immaculate Lord. ||12||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 075

Those who serve their True Guru are certified and accepted.

They eradicate selfishness and conceit from within; they remain lovingly absorbed in the True One.

Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain.

O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this. ||1||

Third Mehl:

With the mind encircled by wickedness and evil, people do evil deeds.

The ignorant worship the love of duality; in the Lord's Court they shall be punished.

So worship the Lord, the Light of the soul; without the True Guru, understanding is not obtained.

Meditation, penance and austere self-discipline are found by surrendering to the True Guru's Will. By His Grace this is received.

O Nanak, serve with this intuitive awareness; only that which is pleasing to the Lord is approved. ||2||
