Heat up the sun energy of the right nostril, and cool down the moon energy of the left nostril; practicing this breath-control, bring them into perfect balance.

In this way, the fickle fish of the mind will be held steady; the swan-soul shall not fly away, and the body-wall will not crumble. ||1||

You fool, why are you deluded by doubt?

You do not remember the detached Lord of supreme bliss. ||1||Pause||

Seize and burn the unbearable; seize and kill the imperishable; leave behind your doubts, and then, you shall drink in the Nectar.

In this way, the fickle fish of the mind will be held steady; the swan-soul shall not fly away, and the body-wall shall not crumble. ||2||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 004

Nanak humbly prays, if the Lord's humble servant dwells upon Him, in his mind of minds, with his every breath, then he drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar.

In this way, the fickle fish of the mind will be held steady; the swan-soul shall not fly away, and the body-wall shall not crumble. ||3||9||

Maaroo, First Mehl:

Maya is not conquered, and the mind is not subdued; the waves of desire in the world-ocean are intoxicating wine.

The boat crosses over the water, carrying the true merchandise.

The jewel within the mind subdues the mind; attached to the Truth, it is not broken.

The king is seated upon the throne, imbued with the Fear of God and the five qualities. ||1||

O Baba, do not see your True Lord and Master as being far away.

He is the Light of all, the Life of the world; The True Lord writes His Inscription on each and every head. ||1||Pause||

Brahma and Vishnu, the Rishis and the silent sages, Shiva and Indra, penitents and beggars

- whoever obeys the Hukam of the Lord's Command, looks beautiful in the Court of the True Lord, while the stubborn rebels die.

The wandering beggars, warriors, celibates and Sannyaasee hermits - through the Perfect Guru, consider this:

without selfless service, no one ever receives the fruits of their rewards. Serving the Lord is the most excellent action. ||2||

You are the wealth of the poor, the Guru of the guru-less, the honor of the dishonored.

I am blind; I have grasped hold of the jewel, the Guru. You are the strength of the weak.

He is not known through burnt offerings and ritual chanting; the True Lord is known through the Guru's Teachings.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, no one finds shelter in the Court of the Lord; the false come and go in reincarnation. ||3||

So praise the True Name, and through the True Name, you will find satisfaction.

When the mind is cleaned with the jewel of spiritual wisdom, it does not become dirty again.

As long as the Lord and Master dwells in the mind, no obstacles are encountered.
