There is only One Creator Lord; there is no other at all.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, comes Union with the Lord.

Whoever serves the True Lord finds joy.

O Nanak, he is intuitively absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||7||

Basant, Third Mehl:

The Lord's humble servant worships Him, and beholds Him ever-present, near at hand.

He is the dust of the lotus feet of the humble Saints.

Those who remain lovingly attuned to the Lord forever

are blessed with understanding by the Perfect True Guru. ||1||

How rare are those who become the slave of the Lord's slaves.

They attain the supreme status. ||1||Pause||

So serve the One Lord, and no other.

Serving Him, eternal peace is obtained.

He does not die; He does not come and go in reincarnation.

Why should I serve any other than Him, O my mother? ||2||

True are those humble beings who realize the True Lord.

Conquering their self-conceit, they merge intuitively into the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

The Gurmukhs gather in the Naam.

Their minds are immaculate, and their reputations are immaculate. ||3||

Know the Lord, who gave you spiritual wisdom,

and realize the One God, through the True Word of the Shabad.

When the mortal tastes the sublime essence of the Lord, he becomes pure and holy.

O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam - their reputations are true. ||4||8||

Basant, Third Mehl:

Those who are imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord - their generations are redeemed and saved.

True is their speech; they love the Naam.

Why have the wandering self-willed manmukhs even come into the world?

Forgetting the Naam, the mortals waste their lives away. ||1||

One who dies while yet alive, truly dies, and embellishes his death.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he enshrines the True Lord within his heart. ||1||Pause||

Truth is the food of the Gurmukh; his body is sanctified and pure.

His mind is immaculate; he is forever the ocean of virtue.

He is not forced to come and go in the cycle of birth and death.

By Guru's Grace, he merges in the True Lord. ||2||

Serving the True Lord, one realizes Truth.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he goes to the Lord's Court with his banners flying proudly.

Section 29 - Raag Basant - Part 008

In the Court of the True Lord, he obtains true glory.

He comes to dwell in the home of his own inner being. ||3||

He cannot be fooled; He is the Truest of the True.

All others are deluded; in duality, they lose their honor.

So serve the True Lord, through the True Bani of His Word.

O Nanak, through the Naam, merge in the True Lord. ||4||9||

Basant, Third Mehl:

Without the grace of good karma, all are deluded by doubt.
